Warships Bought from Spain.

Three more Spanish vessels have been added to the United States navy. They are the armed transport Gen. Alava and the gunboats Quiros and Villalobos, all modern ships. Maj. Gen. Otis purchased them from the Spanish Government last week under his authority as Governor of the Philippines, using the public funds of the Islands for the purpose.
