The Spanish admiral decided that before he took on the army waiting in Flanders he would attack the shipping in Plymouth harbor and so deal a heavy initial blow. He deployed his ships in a crescent, but before he could get within striking range Lord Howard, commanding the British fleet of eighty ships and 9,000 men, slipp2d out of the harbor and fell upon the Span- iard’s rear, inflicting heavy damage. The British ships were swifter and more easily handled. The British seamen were better trained than the Spaniards and the battle, which began with the odds of numbers and guns strongly favoring the invaders, ended in the complete rout of the armada. The fighting lasted a week. The Spanish ships then sought refuge in the harbor of Calais, but they were driven thence by fire-ships sent among them by the British com- mander, and in the open sea he renewed the battle and desisted only when his am- munition had given out, August 13, and he was forced to return to England. The armada was seriously shattered by the blows of battle, but a more complete destruction awaited the Spaniards. A fierce gale arose and drove many of the galleons asaore on the channel islands. Of the “invincible armada” of 129 vessels only fifty-four reached Spain, desperately bat- tered by shot and wave. The squadron about to start for America represents in mechanical matters the most advanced ideas of naval construction. The Pelayo is a formidable ship, p2rhaps the equal of any in the American navy. But these who have investigated declare that the Spanish ships would not be as service- able in time of war as they might be if a better spirit existed among the men. Th> chasm between the officers and their crew immeasurable, and the latter are thought as a consequence to be deficient in the re- sponsive quality that goes far toward vic- tory in an engagement. Tne United States places no reliance upon Spanish inefficiency or upon providentiai visitations, however, in this emergency. It relies upon the ability of its seamen and officers, that has been amply demonstrated in the past, to deal as effectively with all invaders as djd their progenitors under Howard in 1588. ry and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined ‘cir- eulation of the other Washington dailies.

The President's message which was pre- pared to be sent to Congress today would have meant inevitable war with Spain had it been transmitted. The postponement at the last moment of the sending of the mes- sege sugg2sts th> possibility of a surrender by Spain to the American demands. If peace for warring Cuba, relief for starving Cuba, freedom for enslaved Cuba end full reparation for the destruction of the Maine can be secured without war it is well. But upon these issues the Amer- ican people are keyed up to the fighting yoint, and the yielding will not be ou their part, whether the dic is cast on Monday or earlier. The postponement of a President's mes- Sagé which promised to lead to hostilities on the ground that the lives of Americans ‘weuld not be safe in the territory of the prospective enemy after its transmittal is im itself a savage indictment of the an- archical and barbareus condition of Span- ish so-called government in Cuba, which it tas become the duty of the American republic to correct and reform by the. ex- pulsion of Spunish rule from the isiand. — 2 Government for Cuba. Nobody has expected, nor has anybody had the right to expect, that a perfect government would spring into existence in Cuba immediately upon the downfall of Spanish rule. Such a thing could not pos- sibly be. The island has been torn with misgovernment and contentions for a great many years. The people, necessarily, have —_+ += ____ Congress and the President Instructed. given thought principally to their dis- tresses.

United, as they have been, in | in the elections of 1896, which brought out their detestation of Spain and her methods, they have devoted themselves to organiza- tion for the purpose of throwing off the Spanish yoke. But their aspirations upon the point of better government are clear. They want to govern themselves. They are looking here for the model of that which they think would be best for them. A government of the people. by the people, and for the peo- ple, adjusted to Cuba as that government the largest vote ever polled in this country, the cause of independent government for Cuba was the one cause upon which all were united. The sharpest divisions existed on all domestic questions, and the campaign was waged from start to finish with unusual feel- ing But republicans, democrats and popu- lists alike declared in their platforms and at the polls that Spanish rule in Cuba ought to be brought toa close.

First, of course, came those relating to our own affairs. ‘The government needed more revenue, and that has been supplied. The influence of the government was pledged to an effort to try to bring about the free coinage of silver by international agreement, and that has been exerted once, and may be exerted again. The necessity for currency reform was confessed, and a bill has been prepared and introduced in the House which in time will insure action of some kind by Con- gress. So that—a little late as some people think, but still in time—we have now come to the case of Cuba. Everybody was vic- torious at the poils on that issue. The elec- tion of Mr. Bryan and a democratic House would have carried with it the same obli- gation respecting Cuba that the election of Mr. McKinley and a republican House did. Everybody therefore is committed, and to the same end. Hence it is not only appro- priate, but in accordance with the instruc- tions delivered by the people at the polis, that Congress by a unanimous vote should co-operate with the President in a good Purpose and a clear plan to put an end to Spanish tyranny in Cuba. ———~+ +. No Foolishness Now. It is unfortunate that there should be a disposition on the part of any persons in this city to seek to annoy or insult the Spanish minister here resident, even in these days of high feeling against the gov- ernment which he represents. The acts committed in the vicinity of the legation house by vandals are not to be accepted by the officials there as in the ieast degree typical of the American spirit. There js rothing brave or patriotic or manly about them. They are the deeds of cowards and unworthy of this nation and particularly of its capital city, and the police should exert every effort to capture and punish severely the perpetrators of the petty acts of annoyance. Though war results from the present strain the minister and his associates should be accorded the most courteous treatment. Let the conduct of this capital and all other American com- munities in such a time stand forth in striking contrast to what is reasonably anticipated In the way of insult and vio- lence from the mob of Havana. shown capacity for war superior to that of their enemies. Those in charge of their negotiations in this country are men of undoubted equipment for affairs. They have threaded their way through Many embarrassments and hamperings with a notable degree of tact and skill and a surprising suecess. Why should not these men and their fellows prove them- selves to be as capable and successful in garnering for the general good the fruits of revolution as in organizing and conduct- ing the revolution itself? The main point, as The Star stated a few days ago, is to get rid of Spain. The prob- lem then becomes one appealing to every man in Cuba who desires the betterment of his own and the general condition. It will be difficult in the extreme. It will demand sacrifices, just as the revolution has de- manded sacrifices. The United States will Jend its aid, and with that aid failure will be impossible. ———++2e—____ The Contact System. Later developments in the case of the horse alleged to have been fatally shocked by the Capital railway’s electric current the other day serve to indicate thet there is some doubt whether the horse was killed @s a result of the shock or suffered from purely natural causes. The Star's com- ments on the case Monday were based upon all the facts then obtainable, and it does not desire now that any injustice shall be done to tre railroad company in the light of the controversy that has arisen pending the final settlement of the case. It is but fair that the electric company be given a full opportunity to demonstrate that the horse was not shocked. This is the more important in view of the suspicion ‘that Fests in some minds against the general features of the congact system, whic’ is asserted, has already shocked horses in the streets. However the case may result @s regards the liability of the electric de- vice in use for the death of the animal, it is plain that judgment should be sus- pended pending a detinite decision. —_+ + = —____ Spain's bland impudence has not led it to suggest tha: it will consent to drop the whole matter if this country will cede scme of the Florila Keys to the crown. —_~ o> ___ The Invincible Armada. Spanish naval movements during these ays inevitably bring to mind- the story of the “invincible armada” that at its de- parture typified the vain-glory of Spanish ‘arms and at its return marked the collapse of Spanish naval prestige. ‘There is now preparing for departure from Cadiz a for- midable tfeet of war ships destined plainly for American waters, consisting of some of Spain's finest ships, a truly powerful squadron that, associated with the vessels mow in these waters and on the way, will give Spain a fighting force of no mean power. The question arises as to whether the story of the armada will be repeated Mf war should result from the present train between Spain and the United States. The armada was disputched to England by Phillip II in 1588 for the purpose of ad- Ministering to protestanism a crushing blow. Pope Sixtus V had “given” England to Phillip and the Spanish king sought to take possession of his property. He caused an army of 30,000 soldiers to be as- sembled in Flanders under the Duke of Parma to co-operate with the ships. But the ships never reached Flanders. The armada consisted of 129 vessels of various @tyles of construction and equipment, car- Fying 8,000 sailors, 19,000 soldiers and 2,000 €annon, together with provisions for 40,000 gen for six months. It was originally @ommanded by the veteran seaman, the Marquis of Santa Cruz, who died, how- ever, before the armada sailed. He was wucceeded by the Duke of Medina Sidonia, ‘who had had little experience and was mot highly regarded as a fighter.
