Rear Admiral Coghlan, whose vessel, the Raleigh, rem
dered such conspicuous serTice at the battle Of Manila
Bay, tells the Philadelphia Ledger Of the Important
changes which have taken place in the navy since that
memorable battle Of ten years ago.
'-rhe greatest change" said the Admiral, has, Of
course, been the great increase in the strength Of our
navy. Never in the history Of the world has a nation
increased It's sea power within any period Of ten years as
we have since the war with Spain. We had then four
battleships. We now have rs. nearly all Of which are In
commission. The four others which are under construc-
ton should soon be ready for service. You might en-
phasze this: that any one Of these newer battleships
which we have built since the battle Of Manila would
have been more than a match for the entire feet which
Admiral Dewey commanded.
