Instead of descending lit one move from the heavy primary battery to the sniall-eallbre rapid-lire guns, as Is done In the case of cruisers, It has be come the custom of naval architects to lnte-inse i lmltery of mcdluin-cnllbre guns, six or eight Inch guns, for Instance, nml these are placed In smaller Independ ent turrets about the ships.

The last day before the arrival of the report of the Maine court of Inquiry was one of unexampled activity In all orll. lal uiiartern. Advices came early that tin Spanish torpedo tlmilla had sailed from Ihr I'aiiarles for Porto Hlco and from this moment the most energetic warlike meas ures followed one another In constant succession. The movement of this fleet Is watched with the keenest Interest as It was felt In Involve serious possibilities which miKht comel the United States government to proti-st against the move ment as one of a hostile character. Im mediately on the receipt of the official dispatch from one nf our naval attaches abroad, briefly announcing the sailing of the licet, the fad was made known to the president and nn earnest conference was held between him and Secretary Long and Assistant Secretary Roosevelt. The news nf the movement was fully coiisid- en d and the president was advised that not known. iilltl,r tno jliy Spanish Minister Senor Polo y Dcrnabe called nt the state cle- partuutit and spent some time with Judge Day. It was naturally Inferred that the npproach of the Spanish flotilla was one of the subjects refened to. Whether est reticence regarding the conference nnd refused to speak concerning It. Following the flotilla announcement Im portant news came rapidly. First was tho announcement hy Secretary Long In dicating the placing of our squadron nnd fleet on a war footing: "Admiral Slcurd has been granted leave of absence very much to the regret of the navy department, and altogether on ac count of his health. Captain Sampson has been made commander of the fleet nt Key West. Captain Evans has been or dered to take command of the battleship Iowa. Orders to the squadron In Hamp ton Roads have not yet been Issued." Although the announcement did not state so. It soon become known that Com modore Schley was slated to command the "(lying squadron." This announce ment was recognised nt once ns of unus ual Importance nt this juncture. Admiral Sicnrd ham been In command of the fleet nt Key West throughout the critical pe riod of tho Maine disaster. Captain Sampson has been In command of the Iowa, but more recently has been con spicuous before the public its president of the Maine court of Inquiry. Captain Robhlcy l-'.vans Is better know n as "Fight ing Bob" Evans. The next Important move was the de termination to create n joint commission from tho war nnd navy departments so as to bring them Into harmonious action on all mensures.

Spain on one side and the Insurgents on the other, the effect would be far-reachlnif. Whether It will aid the Insurrection as mui h as i-xpected by It. many friends Is doubtful. It would certainly subject us to some Inconvenience. Heretofore we have renulred that the Cuban sympalhlx ers should not fit out expeditions against Spain, hl h l a friendly power. We have only rrootrnlicd one authority In the Isl and and Spain having on her part re. fused to admit that there was ft war In Cuba could not exact from us what she mlcht exact (mm neutrals. "After the recognition of state ot lielllgerency we become neutrals and are fiirhlildi n to give aid or comfort to either of the powers, our ships will be liable to i search and our commerce to much har- ; rassing and annoying Interference. Pos- sibly the new position of Cuba may enable It to raise funds. Whether this will be so 1 or not Is a matter of conjecture.

Three years Is a long time for an Insurrection to last, unless It Is one of great power and one very difficult to sub- due. President Cleveland stated two years ago that the state of affairs then existing insulted Spain. You have In this country In Cuba must be stopped within a reason- Klven a home to those men who are tral ahle time. President McKlnley has stated toT9 to 8a and nuve waged a War the same thing. The question of reason able time Is one for us tn determine and for no one else. '"The president In acknowledging u con dition of belligerent y w ill In- acting strict ly within his right and I have no doubt will be supiairted by the country. Our cltixens generally have entire faith In his Intelligence, his sense, und his patriot ism. Whatever he decides will Ik- best will find general acceptance. I "What effect. If any, would recognition i bv the United States have uoon Spain's right to treat us pirates the offi cers and crews of any Insurgent vessel they captured on the high seas? This Is a question which would depend very much upon the view that Sain would take. We cannot change the situation as between Spain und Cuba by a mere decla ration of our opinion as to the existence of a certain fact. We declare that a fuel exists. Spain denies It. As there Is no court and jury lo decide, each nation must act upon what It deems proper and ex pedient under the circumstances. Spain Is not bound to treat her rebellious subjects as belligerents because we declare that , "That the hostility of the nntlve popu thcy are entitled to that designation. At I latlon to Spanish authority would make the same time she must be consistent, or ought to be. and If in her dealings with us she acts on the assumption that there Is a state of war and sin- applies the ben efit of that theory as against the neu trals. It is difficult to sec how she can In the same breath declare privateers to be pirates and to treat them as such. "We must remember that she was not one of the powers that Joined in the decla ration of lv'ai against privateering ami therefore could not avail herself of the treaty of Paris to declare privateers ot any nation to be pirates. At the same time, we must not forget that war Is a great foe to considerations based on rea son, Justice and the equity of men ami things. The object of war is merely to establish the right of the stronger or the strongest to have his own way. If he fails he Is proved to be in the wrong: It he succeeds, then he has demonstrated the j correctness of his position." J SPANISH OPINION. Havana, via Key West, March 21. La Union Constitutional publishes u strong editorial against Messrs Morgan, Call and King, because of the stand they have taken In connection w ith the referetu e to the Maine disaster. It snys the United Slates will forgive the loss of life and money if the Spaniards will hand over Cuba, although through American flill bustering and sympathy thousands of Spaniards have lost their lives in Cuba and the Island has been made a desert. The Commercial in an editorial on the same lines reproaches the American newspaper correspondents for the "bad feeling they display," nnd snys It docs not know which to admire the more the men who write the lies, or the fools who be lieve them."
