The administration has ilcicnniiied that
if Cervera will not light, nut manifests
a determination to get awaj and return
to Spain, to fodow up and "kill" his tleet

Atlantic. To do this might require the
sending of coal ships along with the
Vnltcd States Meet for somo distance, but
If any accident should happen to any of
the Spanish vessels or tho cool should
run nut, Admiral Cervera would havo to
run the risk of destruction or else aban
don a disabled vessel In the hope of get
ling off wiih iho others, or perhaps be
overtaken by single ships until the whole
licet was gobbled up. It Is calculated by
naval officers (hat the Spanish licet has
now nbout exhausted Its fuel and that it
cannot undertako tho difficult task of re
treating,
into the treasury of tho Untied States. As
the war progresses the same system ot
collecting taxes Is to bo applied to such
Spanish territory as may be occupied,
thus compelling tho territory to aid in
defraying- tho exivnses of the war. Until
such tlmo as congress shall take action
forniully annexing the Philippines or
other conquered Spanish territory to the
United States, all goods coming from
such territory will be taxed at the United
States custom houses Just as goods from
other countries.
