the lurried preparation for the dregdej

need not t» repeated here It I* suffl
icteni to taiy that the outbreak of the
! war, «h -n It did come, found our na
; tiop not unprepared to meet th© eun
fttet,
Mor waa the appiehenaion of corning
strife confined to nur own country, h
waa felt by the continental powera
which, on April «th. through their am
1-aiuMdOrt and envoy a, addressed to the
oxevutive an exprvaslcn of hope that
; humanity and moderation might mark
'the enurue of this government and peo
ple, and that further negotiation would
I lead to an agreement which, while se
curing the maintenance of peace, would
•afford all ngceaaary guaranlee* for the
ie-eatabll*hment of order In Cuba. In
I responding to that presentation, 1 aald I
I shared the hope that the envoy* had
expressed that peace might he preserv
ed In l» manner to terminate the chronic
1 condition of dlaturbanee© In Cuba so
' injurious and menacing to our Inter?*!*
land tranquility, a* well a* shocking to
our sentiment* of humanity; and, while
appreciating the humanitarian and dis
interested chararter of Ihe communi
cation they made on tu'hnlf of the pow
ers, I staled the confidence of this gov
ernment. for Its part, that equal ap
preciation would he shown Tor Its own
'earnest and unselfish endeavor* to ful
fil a duty to humanity by ending a sit
uation the Indefinite prolongation °f
which had become Insufferable.
Striving For Peace.
Still animated by the hope of a peace
ful solution and obeying the dictates
of duty, no effort was relaxed to bring
about a speedy ending of the Cuban
struggle.
Negotiations to this object continued
actively with Ihe government of Hpttln.
looking to the Immediate conclusion of
a six months’ armistice In Cuba, with
n view to effect the recognition of her
peoples' rights to Independence. Be
sides this, the Instant revocation of the
order of reeoneentration was asked, so
that the sufferers, returning to their
homes and aided by united American
and Spanish effort, might be pul in a
way to support themselves, and, by or
derly resumption of Ihe well nigh de
stroyed productive energies of the Isl
uml, contribute to the restoration of Its
tranquility and well being. Negotia
tion* continued for some little time
at Madrid, resulting In offers by the
Spanish government which could not
be regarded a* Inadequate.
It was proposed to confide the prepa
ration of peace to the Insular govern
ment. yet to be convened under the
autonomous decree* of November. 1597,
but without Impairment In any wise of
the constitutional powers of the Mad
rid government, which unto that end
would grant an armistice. If aolirUed
by the insurgents, for such time as th®
general in chief might see fit to fix.
How and with what acope of discre
tionary powers the Insular parltamtnt
waa expected te sst about the "prep
aration" of peace did hot' appear. If it
were to be by negotiation witii. the In
surgents, the Issue seemed to rest on

The Navy.
The maximum effective fighting force
of the navy during the war. separated
Into classes, was as follows:
Four battleships of the first class.
One battleship nf Ihe second class.
Two armorvol ctulsers.
Six coast defense monitors.
One armored ram.
Twelve protected criilsers.
Three unprotected ‘raisers.
Eighteen gunhoats.B

Auxiliary navy:
Eleven auxiliary cttelsers.
Twenty-eight converted yachts.
Twenty-seven converted tugs.
Nineteen convertedi’colllers.
Fifteen revenue cutters.
Four lighthouse tenders and nineteen
miscellaneous vessels.
Much alarm was felt along our en
tire Atlantic seaboard lest some at
tack might !>e made by the enemy. Ev
ery precaution was taken to prevent
possible Injury to,nur great cities ly
ing along the coast. Temporary garri
sons were provided, drawn from the
slate militia; infantry and light batte
ries were drawn from the volunteer
forces. About 12,000 troops were thus
employed. The coast signal service was
established for observing the approach
of an enemy’s ships to the coast of the
United States and the life saving and
light house service co-operated, which
enabled the navy department to have
all portions of the Atlantic coast, from
Maine to Texas, under observation.
The auxiliary navy -was created un
der the authority of Congress and was
officered and manned 'by the naval mi
litia. of the several states. This organ
i rat ion patrolled the 'coast and per
formed the duty of second line defense.
Under the dtrecticaf ;ot the chief of
engineers submarine mines were placed

achievement, the congress, upon my re

The effect of this remarkable victory
upon the spirit of our people and up
on the fortunes of war wa* instant. A
prestige of Invincibility thereby attach
ed to our arms, which continued
throughout th© struggle. Reinforce
ments were hurried to Manila under
the command of Major General Merritt
and fltmly established within night of
the capital, which lay helpless before
our guns.
On the 7th day of May the govern
ment was advised officially of th© vic
tory at Manila, and at once inquired
of th© commander of our fleet what
troops would he required. The Informa
tion was received on the 15th of Mar,
and the first army-expedition sailed on
May 25th and arrived off Manila June
Sflth. Other expeditions soon followed,
the total force consisting of 611 officers
and 15,018 enlisted men.
Only reluctance to cause needless loss
of life prevented the early storming and
capture of the city, and therewith the
absolute military occupancy of the
whole group. The Insurgents meanwhile
had resumed the active hostilities sus
pended by the uncompleted truce of De
cember, 1897. Their forces Invested Ma
nila from the northern and eastern side,
but were constrained by Admiral Dew
ey and General Merritt frotp attempt
ing an assault. It was fitting that
whatever was to Ije done In the way of
decisive opemttons In that quarter
should be atjcoMplished by the strong
arm' of the United State* alone. OtFy-
