The moral effect of Dewty’s victory is
quite as’ important as its direct results.
ie quickly followed by another effective
blow, like the reduction of Havana or
the successful landing of an American

would not'improbably result in tmmedi-'

that her ‘‘honor’’ has been satisfied and
that, in acceding to the demands of the
