NEXT BATTLE COMMERCIAL.
Admiral Esens Prophecies Great Pa
cific Developments.

San Francisco.-Admiral Robley ID.
Chronicle Sunday. said
The greater interest OF the United
States today is in the Pacific. The com
ing OF the fleet to this coast has not
only demonstrated to the world that
We have sixteen battleships. which can
be brought together for a long cruise at
a moments notice, but II has called the
attention of the people of our own
country TO the fact that We have a Pa
cine coast as well as an Atlantic coast.
and that ii will be defended just as
much as every inch of land around New
York. and that our interests in the Pa
cific are greater today than in the At
lantic.
This is the short road TO countries
of the far East, where the greatest COM
merCial development is to be With de-
Nelopment will come war. but it Will be
a commercial war. fought with brains
and dollars, and not with 10-snch guns.
II will be generated by such men AS
Hartman, and the part OF the navy is
always ready We do not plan nor
fight commercial battles.
The coming of he fleet WAS most
opportunely timed by the President,
and its arrival in the Pacific has re
suited in the present assurance OF
peace. Not that | ever believed that
there was any actual danger of war.
The people of both countries realized
too well what a dreadful calami' y
such a war would have been.
IF the navy should ever be called
upon to fight in the settlement of our
interests in the Pacific it would be 10
stop with its guns the commercial de-
velopmenr for which the leaders of in
dusiry are battling with brains and
dollars.
I'VE accomplished much for the
cause OF peace in the Pacific when we
demonstrated that the etiici ancy OF the
feet increased with each day of the
cruise. When the fleet sailed through
the Straits of Magellan inlO the Pa
cfic the ships were in better condition
and bette: prepared for action than
they were the day we sailed That was
proved by the target practice at Mag.
dalena bay. and the records of that
practice, which are the most satislac-
tory, will show it,
