on both sides is concerned, is admitted, with the exception that he 
understated the weight of metal of the American squadron by eight 
pounds, on the supposition that the Ca/edonza mounted three twenty-

and the number of men. But in regard to these points they differ 
widely among themselves. Mr. Roosevelt is the only one who furnishes 
a comparative statement, which is as follows :—
