that if Admiral CERVERAS can manage to stave off the attack of Admiral ScHLEY for a day or two he may be able to catch the (682 American squadron between two fires, by the timely arrival of the Spanish reserve squadron.

Gossips have stated about the place that the Spaniards are afraid to fight, that they are striving to avoid a meeting with the American fleet, but they might just as well say the same of the Americans. The Americans could have sent a fleet to bombard the ports of Spain, they could have sent an army of Invasion, they could have done many things that they have not done. Let the scoffers await the develop ment of events. The Spaniards were undoubtedly outclassed in the East. It Is said that they are comparatively equal to the Americans In the West, and therefore they are entitled to be considered ready to meet the enemy when the time comes. If Spaniards can fight and die In the face of overwhelming odds, as was proved at the battle of Manila Bay, there is not much fear of them turning tall when opposed to an enemy of equal power, Give Spain fair
