Critical Comparison of Spain's

If Spain sends all her available ships

with defeat as crushing as that adj

Commodore Dewey. This is apparent
On the face of simple comparison be-

force are in the habit of declaring that
we have two battleshlps in West Indian

that ia coastwise waters our monitors

they are slow, and are not good seago.

There is no doubt that either Sampson

and now. you don t.see.it. 1t is now
thought to be trying to get to Cuba
without fighting either of our big fleets.
If it succeeds, the war will be consider
ably prolonged, and that is evidently
what Spain desires, in the hope that if
the war is prolonged some other Euro
pean power or powers will get mixed
up in it. Owing to the superior speed
of the vessels composing the Spanish
feet, they will have the choice of fight
ing or running should they be met by
either of our fleets. The most tormida

monitors and the battle ships-are too
