WHILE COAL IS KING.
The question of supplying coal
to war ships is not even second in
importance to a supply of shot,
shells and powder. The modern
warship does not carry a stitch of
sail, and the quantity of cord con
summed rises with the speed de
manded. Increased speed is the
result of increased draught in the
furnaces, and increased draughts
means increased consumption of
coal.
Bat, warships have small coid
carryicg capacity. Even such a
ship as the Oregon cannot take on
mor3 than 1,300 to 1,350 tons at
a time, and the gunboat.can take
from 200 tons down to 100 tons.
It is so in all navies in the
Spanish navy as well. None of the
Spanish ships can take more than
1.2C0 tons,, and if any, of them at
tempted to steam across the At
lantic at the rate of fifteen knots
an hour every pound of coal
would be consumed before ar
riyei. They can cross at a speed
cf tan knots, 'and have some left
upon arrival here, but uone of
them ?ould have enoujrh left to
carry them back to Spain. The
Alphonso XIII, Spain's largest
cruiser, would burn 1,000 tens, if
she steamed across at a. speed of
fifteen knots, and she cannot car
ry that much coal. The Pelayo,
her largest battleship, would
consume 800 tons, steaming at tiie
rate cf ten knots, and she could
not return without coaling,
Whea Porto Rico is closed to
Spanish ships, Spain has no base
of fuel supply on this side of the
sea; England will not sell her
coal for vrarlike purposes, nor
will Denmark at the island cf St.
Thomas, and she is practically
debarred from coming here, un-
