LONDON) November 26.?Captain Ma. han has Just publlabed the first of a serle* of four articles on "The. War on the Sea and ltd lessons." Whllo admitting the danger of passlnt final Judgment on events still recent? Captain Mahan argue-? that In the drive of a life a rapid and rough but atill s working decision must be formad from the new experiences. Material, he saya, Is not yet available to give a complete story of the operations, nor la tbe time ripe for final decisions, but only suSJl elmt to BUggeet general lines of thought. He recall* that th?? Am?'rl?-nn navat plans were conditioned by the fa>ot that the war was undertaken primarily to drive Spain out of Cuba, for if a more general appr?ci?t.on of the situation had, i a a,I?.pied and tho United States had taken account of the injury It ha?l sustained by the lniqult??ii-i character of Hpanlsh rule in her colonies, and had de clared war ?m those ground. -?*?* ob jective American operation would have been differently chOOOB so a* not merely to help Cuba, but lo compel Spain to adopt such terms aa the United State? might demand. GREAT VALUE OF PORTO RICO. In such cue the red uc t Ion of Port? Rico \.oiji<i luv beca AsMflee's tint *-* Jfcct In order to thr??w Spain back OB home territory t<? : HI pert ber operations in Cuba. Porto BkO would have been aa imjurmouiitable obstacle If retained la a strong sacaay*a hand* to Amertcaa opera Uoaa m Cuba, and an equally valuable base If wrist, d from the enemy. M*ban Insists v.eighU.y on the great military bn. portaaci of Parta Rico, whioh la to ?Cuba. to the future Inthmlan Canal, and the Pacitlc coant what Malta is or may be to Egypt and beyond. In estimating tho resjiecUve fighting strength of the American and Spanish Beate, tbe Nav>- Degartaeent h-ld ur?wa vcrtngl** that no merely poeelble cuc-ceag Justified a ri-k unies? It gave a fair prua les of diminishing the cneniy's naval force and so dexldlng the control of the s-a upon whicb the issue of the war Co? pended. He attaches Immense lmportan?*e te the bringing of the Or-gon from the PaciBo to the Atl.-intio, b+caua* It ?*ho\\fd the gilp the American Meet had o?n ?''ervem'a squadron and the consequent power to mov? the army to Santiago without tear. NUMtlKIIB PREFERRED TO SIZK. Captain Mahan paya high 'rtbuto to tas commander-in-chtef for h!s eueceeaful bottling of Cervers'a squadron In San tiago, an operation frauaht with diffleul tk.?,, doubts, and uncerta ntt?se. snd more akin to the wiring down of champagne In unbreakable bonds than the shoving of the cork Into tne bottle. Aa to Camera's move to the Philip? pines. If he had persevered, though the American fleet was quite aafe, It might have necessitated a temporary sbandon ment of Manila bay. He then entere into s technical con sideration of (he momentous problem whether the Individual else of the ships or numbere should be the aim et n-val powera. and comes to tbe conduelen that other tilinga being equal, aumbere mean an increase of offensive power. The article has eictted the llvelieat interest In naval circle? ?eher?, owing te Its unavoidable teu-nioaUty, It is pria clpally read.
