criticism hwaiue Admiral Cevera
evaded them as lung a lie did. No
fault would be found if Admiral
Cervera had evaded lieing entrapped
yet a while. If lie had not chosen
to entrap himself, to choose the trap
in which he would be caught a trap
in which he could make a better
defence than it caught in a trap on
the high seas and ot his adversaries'
choosiug, the chances are that he
would yet be unentrapped. If Ad
miral Sampson liad succeeded in
forcing him into battle, great credit
and unstinted praise would have
lieen his due. And that praise
would have been unbounded, that
credit promptly given if, having
located the Spanish squadron, he
hud caught and destroyed it, no one
need doubt But if Admiral Cervera
had not slipped into the trap laid
for him, or into a trap of his own
i-hoonng, and had again lost himself
to the mot Id on the broad bosom of
the Caribbean, despite the activity j
of the American naval scouts, un
reasoning criticism, it is much to be
feared, would have been turned out
in volume, criticism that would
have turned to praise if a tew days
later Sampson laid a second trap and
caught the wily Stanford. Such is
human nature. It is success not ef
fort that brings laudation and lau
rel, though tlie effort that is fruit
less may be greater, better conceiv
ed, more deserving of success than
the effort that succeeds, iierchance.

could not avoid turning up every

But he could not fill his bunkers
when he turned top at a neutral
port. He was only permitted to
take enough coal to carry him to
the Dearest friendly port And once
having coaled in this unsatisfactory
manner at one of the West Indian
islands of a neutral power he could
not look further to the coal depots
on the islands of that power for
further supplies. Thus lie was re
ported to have taken coal first at a
French, then at a Dutch island.
From getting further supplies from
French or Dutch islands he was
thcrefin-ft estouncd. He mieht have
gotten a little coal at some other is
lands, but it must have been clear to
him UiaL deirendent on coal that he
might get from neutral powers, he
would soon become helpless for want
of fuel.
