One Month Of War.
Everywhere the impression prevails that this is a slow war.
The Government is being berated for its delays. Sampson is found
fault with because lie lias not blown up Havana and taken the
town by storm. Yet, a glance at the following resume of a month
of war will show that scarcely a day passed without some decisive
action.
Early in the beginning of the war, even before it was formally
declared, Sampson had succeeded in blockading Cuba. An army
of 173,000 new men was raised in less than three weeks and placed
where it can he most easily transferred to stragetic points. Prize
ships to the tune of a million dollars were taken before the ink >n
the war declaration bill was drv.
Admiral Dewey wiped out the entire Spanish fleet, consisting of
14 vessels, which he found in the waters of Manila. The guns of
several Spanish forts were forever silenced, and ships and men are
now on the way to the Philippines to occupy those islands. The
rest of the Spanish fleet is practically bottled up, and Spain's reserve
squadron is yet in progress of preparation.
Surely this is more than enough for even a nation as large and
rich in resources as this nation to accomplish in less than a month.
Admiral Nelson once chased the Spanish fleet for more than elev
cii months without firing- a shot into one of her ships.
So far this country has lost but six men in all the battles that
have been fought, while Spain's losses run up into the hundreds if
not thousands. So far this country has not lost one ship, while
Spain has lost a large number, to say nothing of the prizes that
were taken from her early in the day. Surely the month’s achieve-
ments is great.
Twenty years from now at long range *and in the perspective of
history it will lie the most wonderful record ever made by any
nation that fought its battles on the sea. -Republic
