Verde islands few days ago, intend to
cross to the American side of the At
lantic, they must have one Of three OBJ
iects in view: Either to intercept the
Oregon and her consort, the gunboat
Marietta make for the West Indies for
the purpose of attacking the squadron
blockading Havana; or proceed TO the
American coast to harrass our large
cities.
In order to be prepared for the first of
these alternatives, three of our monster
warships have been detached from the
blockading squadron and sent south
westward to meet the Oregon now
steaming up the coast of Brazil, and
escort her north With the first class
battleships Iowa and Indianna and the
armored cruiser New York, as her
escort, the Oregon could defy the whole
Spanish navy. No such formible trio
of battleships exists elsewhere in the
world. Even If this grim battleshlp now
making her way northward TO JOIN her
sister ships in West Indian waters, should
be attacked by the Spanish fleet alone,
she would prove a formable antagonist
for Spanish cruisers and torpedo boats.
But if the Spanish fleet is headed for
Porto Rico or for New York or Boston,
it will none the less have TO dispute its
passage with an American fleet. Adj
mirals Sampson and Schley are waiting
impatiently for a chance to duplicate
Dewey's brilliant achievement, and they
will not be found skulking when the
Dons arrive in American waters
1t is far more likely that the Spaniards
are skulking, however, and hurrying
back TO home waters A few more days
will surely discover them, and if they
shall appear off the South American
coast or headed for Porto Rico, they are
bound TO receive warm reception from
American guns. Should they follow
the dictates of discretion and sail back
home in order to combine the Cape Verde
fleet with the fleet near Cadiz before at
tempting to cross the Atlantic, they will
still find these western waters a mighty
unpleasant place for Spanish warships,
