Second Fleet Leaves Cadiz
The Spanish reserve squadron under Admiral Camara has departed Cadiz for an unspecified destination. The fleet, consisting of ten to twelve vessels, may maneuver for days before sailing toward the Philippine Islands, Cuba, or the United States. Debates on its target include a possible move toward the Canary Islands or toward Admiral Cervera’s squadron via the Suez Canal. Castelar advocates Spain’s isolation and prudent future policy. The note ends with a remark that Yankees may blockade islands but not Spain’s honor.
