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!

keeping the sea in rough weathe
The admiralty have during th
last few years built a considerabl
number of such vessels, and the
believe as a protection they wi
be superior to any accumulatio
of mere torpedo boats,and will b
useful both as scouts and dispatc
vessels."
The United States has not thr
far constructed any "torpedo bo?
destroyers," but it has recent!
made extensive purchases on bot

will be merely a question of vig

Nor should the interesting p<>
nihility of Mr. Holland's suhtm
rine boat be overlooked. She h:

nor has she had a trial over

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

face as other vessel* do, and ca

The point which Geueral Wood
ford is now pressing is that in th<
interests of humanity, hostilitie
ie in Cuba must cease immediately
h No date was fixed either in thi
first or in the present note, bu
is the United States is now dwell
it, ing upon the meaning of the won
y ''immediately," and insisting tha
^ Spain accept its general inlerprc
10 tation.
jj The public generally is takin;
j little apparent interest in th
^ j situation, but there is a genera
.. t disinclination to believe that wa
d
, . | is likely.
^ j I'l Pais says that four warship
ie i have been obtained by Spain ii
d .'France and that negotiations ar
<1 ( pending for the juivchaso of sev
'* oral Iorpe lo boats in Ureal I>ri(

Is all the Spanish warships ami lli
torpedo boat llaleon is to sai

! Cadiz, where a seeond torped
sipiavdon is being prepared.
Military engineers, according t
j. The Pais, are starting lor the Ca
x\ nary Mauds, and the Malearic Is
a lands are being fortitied. Italy

it to sell the armored cruiser <Jiu
