An Attack Upon Its Coast Cities
is Discussed in Admins.
trati0n Circles.
IT WOULD HAVE A GOOD EFFECT
Would lmpart to Spain a Thor
ough Appreciation of the
Resources of the Gov
ernment With Which
She Is at War.

Washington, June 25. The proposi-
tion to attack the coast Of Spain, itself
while not having progressed to any
definite stage, has not been abandoned
by the administration. On the CON
trary, il has baen the Hubiect of Home
earnest discussion in administration
circles. though il has gained no serious
attention in the deliberations of tho
cabinet as body.
The plan. as informally discussed,
looks to taking number OF our first
class hattleships, with sufficient
iotilla of colliers and supply vessels
and making war on the large citieH
along the Spanish coast. In this con-
psction, the statement OF cabinet
official to-day that he favors an early
ordering of about 10 of our vessels Of
the hrHt rating with orders to carry
what will be Needed in the course of SO
long journey, TO be taken away from
our fleet in Cuba nnd sent direct on
this mission. is significant. He said
he believed that until Homs such work
as that is done by our forces the govern
mont OF Spain will fail to appreciate
the resources of the government with
which she is at war.
~ bhohlh 10 ulhlluCtly uuubTSlUulg
however, that there ia no semblance Uf
a conclusion as yet to make any such
step in the future, and while earnestly
discussed, no project Of this nature has
been laid before the official family of
the President. This action. IL it were
taken at all, would involve the view
that the vessels could easily be spared
from tho Cuban waters, and some mem
bers of the administration have no
hesitation in saying that they might
be easily spared befure long without
dotriment 10 our campaign in Cuba.
With reference to Havana, it has
been suggested that our troops surround
the city and take possession OF the high
lands, SO as to cover every point of ap-
proach, and conduct peaceful siege.
The plan is yet tentative. 1t would do
away, ordinarily, with tine large fatal
ties that must necessarily follow an at
tempted immediate capture of the
Spanish citadel. and also would locate
our troops in hoalthful regions. Prob
Rbly not less than 20, 600 men would he
needed should this plan be adopted.
While the administrat lion has not over
much confidence in getting great assist
nuce from this CuhBn forces. they could
be counted Oh to some extent.
