Two Spanish armored ships remain which are at sea, but are understood not to be in the best condition. The torpedo boats distributed among Spanish ports are not worth much for resistance to a 6trong fleet. They are too frail to go into a general en gagement except by a quick dash, and all attempts of the kind in the present war have met with disaster. A phase of the conflict is reached in which we can send a strong squad ron to the coast of Spain. - Its busi ness there will be to fight the best fleet the enemy can organize; to seize a Spanish harbor for further operations; to capture ships, compel commercial lines to suspend and to strike at all exposed points on the seaboard. Unless Spain can deteat or drive off our squadron, the king dom will be in a condition of semi- blockade. Neariy ail the foreign trade of Spain is conducted on the sea. TLe presence of a hostile fleet along its long ocean boundaries will cause heavy loss, to say nothing of the general feeling of impotence and humiliation. To avoid these grave results Spain may decide to sue for peace before Commodore "Watson's fleet can cross the ocean. The colonies would be surrendered without extensive army operations. Sea power would then have decided the whole issue. It is necessarj' to bear in mind that the army campaign at Santiago was de signed to solve a naval problem. The first necessity of the situation was to dispose of Cervera's fleet. The approach of our land batteries forced the Spanish admiral from his place of refuge and sent him to his doom. That great naval exploit, which will always fill a remarkable page in the world's history, in turn lightened the task of the army. Spain has no ships left to defend or supply her colonies. To relinquish them is her only course, Havana, therefore, as a sequel of the naVal battle at Santi ago, may fall without a shot, passing out of Spanish hands along with the whole of Cuba, and Porto Kico as well. The key to this result is the complete mastery of the ocean against' Spain. The fears of Cadiz, Barcelona, Cartagena and the Cana ries may settle the war. Sea power has not been overestimated. Elements of discontent will exist in Cuba after the Spanish flag comes down and the Spanish troops are withdrawn, but the protectorate of the United States will manage affairs with a firm hand. Every Cuban seaport will be controlled by our navy and by sufficient garrisons. The Spanish volunteers who live on the island and the convicts organized as Spanish guerrillas are not compar atively numerous and will be under a crossfire calculated to bring them into quick subjection. Nearly all the native Cubans want peace and a chance to build up the industries of the island. "When the Spaniards go, the fears of the timid will vanish and business men turn to the future with confidence. To say that the war was practic ally settled when the Spanish fleet was crushed may be assuming too much, but. the present outlook war rants the opinion. One of the signs of prosperity is the revival of railroad construction. The estimate is that 160,000,000 will be expended ou the new roads in 1898, the largest showing since 1893. The conviction is growing in Spain that a tremendous mistake was made in courting war with the United States. Even Spanish foolishness can be modified with 13-inch guns. The courtesieswe are now extend ing to the Spanish prisoners of war ought to go far toward cementing those' ties we heard so much of dur ing the World's fair year, but have since been somewhat shattered. It takes some time for a Spanish general to make up his mind after he discovers that he has a mind to make up. . Real Estate Sale.
