HOW TO MEET TORPEDO ; BOATS. V. S. Caii Cope With Spain's? Holland Bout a Probable Factor. New York Tribune. Spain manifests a masked liking for the torpedo as an agent of warfare. No good reason has been adduced for believing that she was officially responsible for the destruction of the Maiue. * Nor is it entirely clear yet whether a torpedo or a mine was the. immediate cause of the re\ . .cent disaster in Ilabana harbor. The character of tho armada which has iust left the Canaries. however, is unmiatable. It includes thirteen vessels equipped for submarine methods of attack, and only t.vo ships whose projectiles are intended to be hurled through the air. "A torpedo boat,"said the First Lord of the British admirably six years ago, "is essentially the weapon of the weaker, and the assailant rather than the defender of commerce." And then In1 proceeded to indicate the best means of protection against such craft. At that time elaborate experiments 0:1 both sides ot the Atlantic had demonstrated the worthlessness of wire netting encircling a vessel at anchor. Tests made in Mewport harbor, for instance, showed that the motive power possessed by a Whitehead or Howell torpedo was sufficient to carry it three times out of four through the stoutest netting. The naval expert just quoted proceeded to say, therefore: "Protection from such boats and their attack must be looked for in the dove! It is true wisdom for fvcrvbody to tnko a tliov n :h ? >urs?'

The United States has not thr far constructed any "torpedo bo? destroyers," but it has recent! made extensive purchases on bot .1 _ r il _ 41.1 !. - r l* siues ui me ..vuaniic 01 macnin atul quick-firing.

When our revenue m; rine and the steam yachts tii have recently be6n added to tli American navy are equippe ; with this class of ordnance, an are further provided with scare! lights, the I'nited States will 1 admirably prepared for the a | tack of the Spanish licet which i | now on its way across the Atlai tic. From that time on safet will be merely a question of vig j lance. Nor should the interesting p<> nihility of Mr. Holland's suhtm rine boat be overlooked. She h: I not yet been tested in deep wate nor has she had a trial over | long course. Hut she has been ri j peatedly submerged and brougl ! to the surface at the will of lit | | navigator. She can carry gast | line enough to run her engine during a voyage of two thousan miles, and compressed air enoug to last her crew eight or nin hours?a much longer period tha [ she is ever likely to stay nude ( water. She lias a speed of six tee | knots when running on the sm face as other vessel* do, and ca j make nine knots when wholly in mersed.
