colonial possessions have dwindled from
their former 100000 square miles to
a paltry 5000 square miles or less. the

with which Spain herself is being de-

The completion of her system of
coast railroads is being urged as a vital
link in the nations defense, and on the
sea three modern dreadnaughts are
being built for her navy
