It is probable, bowever, that it will not be the policy of the war department to have Havana at tacked by the fleet until an invading force has been landed in Cuba, which can operate with the naval force. While a peaceful blockade, as the present blockade of Havana has been called, is a novel mode of pro- cedure in warfare, it seems now to be a most wise move, A bombardment of Havana might destroy a vast amount of property, bat it would not capture a single Spanish soldier or give us the island of Cuba. General Blanco has an army of 60,000 veterans who are climated and who will prove a for- midable force. It will take three) weeks at least to get our volunteer| army ready to land in Cuba, while} now webave but 20,000 regula ready for service. It is probable! that the most important movewent of| this week towards the subjugation of; Cuba, will be the sending by this government of a large amount of army supplies and ammunition to the! insurgent army under Gomez, This will put the insurgent army in a bet | ter fighting condition than it bas ever been. An attack upon Havana from the sea might result in the disabling of a part of our fleet and this risk should | not be incurred before we have an army of occupation ready to support the fleet. { It has been generally believed that | j,. 1 | Matanzas would be selected as the base of operations by the American army. This city is on the coast and fifcy miles east of Hava peral Blanco has been disposing his troops witb this in view. It is| very possible that Batabano, on the south coast and ovly twenty wiles! from Havana, may be selected, ‘The country between that town and Ha vana is favorable to rapiul movements, | and an army landing there would be| in a position to render quick aid to} | south | the fleet after the naval attack is be- gun.
