1 he Fleets Compared.
It must be confessed that the proba
bilities of an early naval battle lu the
Atlantic ocean or Caribbean sea hip
elect ending. A battle will ho fought If
either Sampson or Schley can get with
in shooting range of Cerveta; hut with
tho latter able to sail at the rate of SO
knots an hour while neither of the
Ameilrun commander enn fio faster
than IB knots It Is clear that accident
alone can bring about a meeting unless
tho Spaniard elects to have one.
Puth a meeting would be viewed with
Intense interest hy non-combatants as
well ns belligerents, for It would
answer many questions that now per
plex the r (instructors of armor-clad
warships. The displacement of Samp
son's fleet is I3,0(io tons; of Schley's,
34,000; of Cerveia's, 27,000. Of lnrge
ordnance the Spaniard has sK 11-Inch'
and two 10-Inch guns, against four 1".
inch. eight 12-inch and eight 10-Inch
guns on Sampson's licet, and four 13
Inch nnd two 12-Inch guns on Schley's.
In seinndaiy batteries the dispropor
tion Is cen gteater Sampson has
twent-two and Schley sixteen 8-liuh
guns, against forty rM. to 6-Inch guns
for Ceivern; vet while bote the Span
ish heavy ordnance stops, 'Sampson nlso
has four C-lnch, nine r-lnch and twen- ,
ty-sK l-ltuh guns, nnd Schlev hasj
twenty 0-Inch, twelve ri-lnoh nnd ten
4-inch guns Roughly speaking. Samp- ,
son's ships can thtow three pounds of
metal to Cervera's one pound, and
Schley's, two to one. F.en the lone
Oiegon, which the Spaniard may tiy
to Inlet rept. has 11.004 foot-tons of eu
eigy In excess of the combined energy
of the Spanish licet, and, ban lug acci
dents nnd torpedo boats, could prob
ably defend herself successfully against
(Vruia'n four rulsers.
In protective minor the conliast pre
sented between the lleets is likewise
marked. The thickest point lu the nr
moi belts of tho Spanish ships Is 10
Inches, with a conning tower leslst
nnce of 12 Inches Sampson and Schley
each have a battleship with 18-inch
armor and conning tower teslstnnce
equal to 20 inches; while In Sampson's
command ate the Iowa with 11-Inch
nrmor and the thiee mouitois with ar
mor belts langlng In thickness ftom 0
to 12 Inches, and In Schley's Is the
Texas with 12-Inch armor. On paper
our nrmoied rtulspix, the New York,
with 1-Inch atmoi, and the Urooklyn,
with .1-Inch, look weak, hut It must be
remembered that tho minor plates on
the Amerlcar ships are made of the
best Haneylzed steel, which even our
own high-power guns cannot splinter,
while the Spanish armor Is of "com
posite" steel, proved hy tests to he
btlttle nnd easily knocked to pieces.
These tlguies, to say nothing of our
admittedly superior gunnery, so well
demonstrated at Manila, Matunzas nnd
San Juan, htistaln the belief that the
SpuuMi admiral will not Invite n fight,
lie may he cntnered, but If he Is It
will be thtough his own stupidity, for
the sea offers ample loom In which a
20-lcnot fleet can get away from two
pursuing 15-knot lleets a naval battle
on such a scale would he Immensely
Interesting and Instructive, hut the
chances seem to Indicate that It Is not
to he. The present experience may
teach us one thing, however, and that
1 that speed in a navy Is fully as es
sential ns shooting power. If we had
a few fast armored ciulsers like the
Ylzuiy.i this wai would soon la
in ought to an end. on the ocean nt

toneial Sickles, (Jrant's minister to
Spain, doesn't think that this war could
hac been avoided. Says he: "We
have had no choice in the mntter. The
war was foiced upon us. Let the cop
pei heads In this cnunti who have
been saying we should have no war,
that It was none of our business what
Spain did In Cuba, that we had better
attend to our affali.s at home and let
otheis so hang let these, 1 say, con
sldei the actual clear, cold, conclusive
facts. The 1'nlted Stntes was either
fenced to go to war with Spain for
that gieatest of nil incentives, human
ity, or else It must have said to Spain,
"Do as you damned please. Mutder,
rob,- violate the Innocent, sweep the
Island with flame and swoid, staie
all those whom jou do not kill, it's
none of our alfaii. "We have all we
can attend to at home.' " Clcnernl
Sickles knows 'Spain nnd the Span
latds. Ills opinion Is that of an ex
pert It Is significant fact that eery mil
itary nnd naval expert who has' he en
near Cuba recently protests with em
phasls against the further dolavlng of
American Invasion. It Is known to our
nuthotltie'. that the Spanlntds at?
stiengthcnlns their machinery nnd
plans nf reuUtance hourly, which menus
that more good American blood will
have tc be shed ere the Island l.s taken.
Had a determines! nn.o been made
