| fleet of oid-time unarmored boats.
In the matter of torpedo boats. those
terribly uncertain factors in future sea
fights Spain has the advantage, for she
possesses so of the first-class variety
and 10 of the second while the United
States has only 18 of the first and of
the second class.
To offset this advantage of Spain, the
United States has fleet of powerful
rams and monitors, some built for the
express purpose of sinking an enemy's
boats with blow from the steel SPUR.
1t is toss-up whether or not these
formidable steel-prowed boats wifi not
be able to give the torpedo boats a good
start and then beat them in the COM
petition of destroying hostile fleet. In
the opinion Of some experts, it will be
more effective to ram a battleship with
steel-beaked monster than to explode
a torpedo under her bows. The nation
may leave it's foreign affairs safely in
the hands Of the government, knowing
that, whatever comes, the country is toll
erably safe from capture by Spain.

No one has been able to say anything
but words of admiration about the way
Fitzhugh Lee has done it. He has been
the first to respond to charitable calls,
as well as to make his voice heard when
the high handed actions of the naughty
Dons have called for the talons of the
American eagle to be displayed just a
little to remind Spain that there is limit
to Uncle Sans patience. With the
battleship Maine anchored in Havana
harbor, the consul has little need to
bother about the action of mobs that
rise in moment with cries of Death to
Americans" and disappear as quickly
when threatened with the butt end of a
rifle.
He has, therefore, been concentrating
his energies on the work of relieving
the needs Of the starving and dying
among the pacificOs and trying to save
the lives of the innocent babies on whom
the curse of war sits heavily at the
present time
with the battleship in the harbor,
America may dismiss the anxiety that

In the midst of the whirl of events in
Cuba and the Vacllating cowardice that
has distinguished Spaniards in authority
during the struggle for freedom, one
figure has stood firm as granite pillar
Americans have been proud of him from
the start, and well has he upheld their
reputation for good judgment in choos-
ing foreign representatives 1t is al
most needless to say that the man re-
ferred to is Fitzhugh Lee, our consul in
Havana.
The country is familiar enough with
his name and his admirable firmness in
dealing with crises in Cuba that
have threatened to involve this country
in war with Spain, but they are not as
familiar with his features as they will
be after studying them in the picture
published herewith, which is taken from
a photograph furnished to this paper
especially by Consul Lee, and signed
with his autograph.
II has taken more than an ordinary
strong man to hold the consulship reins
IN Cuba during the stormy times there.

| Against our SO armored ships, Spain
could only bring IL; the 1640 guns of our
navy would only have opposed to them
$50 on the boats of the Spanish navy; in
weight of ordnance, the United States
would be immeasurably superior, for we
have 64 guns of from 40 to so tons, 1873 of
from 20 to 40 tons, 317 of from to 20 tons,
| and 1880 guns of 4-ton weight The op-
posing guns that Spain could bring to
bear upon us would be 10 of from 40 to
so tons, ITO of from 20 to 40 tons, 2S6 of
| from to 20 tons, and 554 under tons.
Concentration being of Importance in
the art of war, the fact that Spain has,
in point of number, few more ships than
the United States would be disadvant-
age to the dons, for our fewer ships are
infinitely more formidable and heavier
armed. Thus the United States pos
sesses SO unarmored ships, while Spain
has 63; but having three times as many
steel-armored vessels makes the
advantage all on the side of
this country, for one modern bat
tleship is more than q match for whole

has been born of the fear that at any
moment our consul may be attacked
and killed. The Maine could knock Ha-
vana about the ears of the Spaniards in
short order, and if the Spanish navy
steamed up to join in the fracas our
boats could easily take care of them, too,
provided the government is wise enough
to keep the vessels within steaming dis
tance of possible conflict.
This newspaper has already published
the illustration shown with this, en-
abling any one who sees it to note at a
glance the relative difference between
the fighting ships of this country and
those of Spain. BY special request, we
publish it again. The vessels are all
drawn from the latest photographs of
the vessels and show the distinctive
features of each, true to the originals in
the minutest details.

States, the figures are all that is neces-

4 WILD SPANISH STORY.
Madrid Paper Publishes Details Of
a Spanish Victory,
A GREAT MYTHICAL BATTLE.
oevera Said TO Have Given Combat to
sampson'-,rwo American warnhIpa
Said TO Have Bosn Destroyed and tho
American Fleet vanquIshod.

MADRID, May Si.--El ProgrcSso pub
lishea dispatches purporting TO come
from Paris, giving detalla OF an al
legged battle near Jamaica, In which, II
10 said, two American warships were
destroyed and one Spanish warship
waa injured.
The story Ia that Commodore Schleyh
squadron parted from Rear Admiral
Sampson's off the eastern point of
Cuba, steered toward the Yucatan Pc
ninsula, followed closely by SIMPSONS
ahips. Both were sighted from the
watch towers OF )antiago dc Cuba,
Rear Admiral Sampson arrived off
the province OF Puerto Principe, con-
tinuing In the direction OF jamaica.
Admiral Cervera left Santiago Thurs
day, May 20, at midnight, all his lights
being extlnguished, with tho Vizcaya
and tho Almirante oquendo, preceded
by the Torpedo boat destroyer Furor,
Ho took up position in proximity to
Jamaica. Two hours later the remain
der OF Admiral Cervcra's squadron
withdrew from the harbor OF Santiago
and proceeded In southerly direction.
On the morning OF Friday the Furor
came up rapidly TO the VizcayG and
the Almirante, advising Admiral Ger
vera OF the approach OF the enemy,
Rear Admiral SIMPSONS ships steamed
with full steam toward the Spanish
vessels, but moved In n southerly d.
rection TO effect juncture with the
remainder Of the Spanish squadron.
Presently the battle ragged furiously
on both sides. The Americans de-
tached three cruisers and three smaller
ships TO surround the Vizcaya and the
Almirante oquendo, The Furor, be-
tween the cross-fire Of the enemy,
made for the American flagship, not
withstanding the fire OF the heavy
guns.
The outcome Of the contest was that
two American warships were sunk and
one Spanish warship disabled in It's
steering gear. The remaining vessels
OF the American squadron were 30
much damaged that they were COM
PEELED to talo refuge In Haytien
waters. II is reported that the Cristo-
Dol Colon captured one American ship,
which had been disabled from shot
by the Vizcaya that perforated her
side.
The Vizcaya rislked destruction from
an American destroyer. 1t is believed
that after the combat the Spaniards
sailed for Havana, or, II the conditions
Of the vessels or the presence of su-
perior force Of the enemy required,
took refuge at Cardenas or Matanzas.
The publication of this dispatch from
Paris caused an excited discussion of
the conflicting reports from various
sources, which completely absorbed all
sections of the press and all circles Of
the public in Madrid,
WASHINGTON, May 30.-0Hlcials OF
the navy department not only discredit
the reports Of naval engagement near

son and Commodore Schley clearly in

in the Madrid story are without the
slightest foundation in fact,

on account of the steamer running
hard upon Cormorant reef, two miles
