1t was at an early date proposed to build
rams, pure and simple, to contend with and
so to supersede the ironclad battleship
They were to have been small, swift and but
lightly armored-just sufficiently armored,
in fact, to insure that numerous and yet
not effective fire could not be employed
against them by the battleshp. Such a ship
was never built, and it is impossible 10 say
what might have been the result had one
been built and tried. But at a very early
period the torpedo which had till then been
an adjunct to the battleship's gun and ram
power, was given vessel TO itself, and from
that moment the torpedo became an indie
pendent threat to the battleship which the
ram had never been. That threat has been
greatly developed in recent years, and the
place it will take ultimately may be de-
termined by opinion, even though that opin-
ion Is wrong.

proposed by Tacon, one OF her ministers.
to sell her colonies, at once received her
heartiest approval. Tacon commissioned
NJ Aguado. 81 Spanish banker in Paris. to

him of Spain's Willingness TO sell Cuba
and the Philippines for 80. 600 reals, and

Receiving a favorable reply from Talley

with Tacon, who delegated Senior Campu-

but fearing that some courtier would
cept the commission for his own pecuniary
advantage, should he refuse he finally
