LACK OF DESTROYERS.

N,kVY IN NEED OF TORPEDO BO T WRECKERS. Spain Well Supplied Purchase of Tupy from Brazil Ik About Attsured Reported Sale of the Varese by Italy to the Dons Im Denied. The purchase of the torpedo boat destroyer Tupy from the Brazilian government is now practically assured. The Tupy, with two sister craft, is being built at the Armstrong works at Elswick. England, where the Amazonas and her counterpart were constructed, and not at Kiel. Germany, as previously stated. Much gratification is felt by the naval administration over the prospect of securing the Tupy and others of her class, for torpedo boat destroyers are needed badly. A number of torpedo boats have been added to the effective force of the navy, but not one destroyer has been built or contracted for. Spain II - Torpedo Destroyers. Spain is fairly well supplied with these terrible water witches, which are dangerous alike to the big battleship and the little torpedo-boat. They have attained a speed of more than thirtyknots. The Spanish flotilla now held at the Canaries, pending the adjustment of the diplomatic question relating to its assignment to waters adjacent to the United States, includes some of these destroyers. They are more feared by naval officers than battleships and armored cruisers, and every energy is being shown to get some of them ready-made abroad to offset the Spanish contingent. Need of Armored Cruisers. It was pointed out the other day that the naval administration wanted more battleships, armored cruisers, tor-pedo-boat destroyers and torpedo boats. This was the conclusion reached by the war hoard, of which Assistant Secretary Roosevelt is chairman. As no more armor-chids except the Carlo Alberto, owned by Italy, appear to be

CRUISER VESUVIUS. THE UGLIEST FIGHTER IN OI K NAVY

definitely in the market, the war board is doing all that can be done to secure torpedo-boat destroyers. Its members believe hat this class of vessel will augment the vessels BOW under Admiral Sicard to SUCh an extent that no force Spain can gather would be effective against the American tleet. A denial is made here of the statement that Spain has bought :h- Italian ar-rnor-elad Varese. K!o't mt li:t ill t on l:..ls. The announcement thai the Massachusetts and the Texas had been withdrawn from the squadron at Key West and sent to Hampton Roads sSf the subject of an inquiry at the cabinet meeting, and the most positive assurances were given by Secretary Long that the orders to these ships were not due to any suggestion from Spain. There was no intention, it was explained, to detach the North Atlantic squadron from Florida waters to satisfy Spain's qualms in the pending emergency. The establishment of a second division Of the North Atlantic squadron. Secretary Long said, was I strategical move, and the Massachusetts and the Texas have been detached to form part of the force to be assembled at Hampton Roads. Captain Philip of the Massachusetts will command the second division for the RAPID FIRE GUN CRUISER CHICAGO. time being. No commanding officer of the new formation has been selected. BSSSSd In PeSS Health. The condition of Admiral Qloard'n health has given the nay department a great ileal of concernand it is probable that he will be detached from the command of the North Atlantic squadron if hostilities should occur very soon, as It Is believed that he is not physically able to manage a big fleet in n engagement. It has been practically decided that Captain William s. Sampson of the battleship Iowa, the president of the Maine court of inquiry, will relieve Admiral Sicard if the health of the latter does not improve. The faith of the administration In his courage, cool headednoss. and ability Is perfect, and he will in ill probability receive a flag rank if wai is declared. Protection for AsxUlsrlsS. Those merchant ships taken by the navy and equipped as auxiliary cruiser?, will be well-protected vessels, snd In fighting effleiency superior to many

I y

of the unprotected ships now with Admiral Sicard. It has been determined to armor the larger of these vessels with a band of steel extending around the sides and near the water line, for the protection of the vitals, machinery and magazines to be improvised. This rrmor will consist of two inches of nickel steel, and will be four inches less In thickness than on the armored cruisers New York and Brooklyn. It is equal to the protection afforded the machinery by protective decks on some cruisers, and would render the vessels fairly safe from six pounders and lightfire guns. Kngineers Urged to Hurry. . Orders have been Issued to many of the army engineers in charge of coast fortifications to hurry the work now in progress. Preparat ions are already under way for placing in position the new toast defense guns purchased in England. It is expected that they will be delivered at New York within ten days. The guns are thirty-two in number, and are of the latest rapid-fire pattern. The new pieces are fully mounted, and are provided with about 300 rounds of ammunition. They are of comparatively short range, and will be used in harbor? and channels, on the northern coast principally. Contracts were made by the war department Saturday for the delivery of a large quantity of armor piercing an.i deck piercing steel projectiles of large caliber. Ships for Auxiliary Fleet. By order of the secretary of the navy Lieutenant Commander Reeder, commander of the school ship St. Mary s, and Passed Assistant Engineer Danforth. assigned to duty at the Brooklyn navy yard, sat the other day as members of the board of auxiliary cruisers. These additions were made to the board because it had been reported to Secretary Long that the board was not large enough to do the work expected of them speedily enough. The steamships Orizaba. Seneca. Saratoga and Ynmuri. of the Ward line, were carefully inspected. Unofficial information was to the effect that all four of these vessels would be recommended for lease as auxiliar cruisers, should an

emergency require the acquisition of commerce destroyers. Two schooners and several yachts, offered by their owners, were inspected today. Among them wr re the Conqueror, owned by P. w. Vanderbilt; the Atalanta, ay George Gould, and the Corsair, by Plerpont Morgan. Contract for S.SSS Hont. The Mach Hills ranges arc being SCOq red by the United Slates agents for horses suitable for the cavalry. A contract has been made with one large horse company near Port .Meade to furnish 2,001 horses as soon as they can be brought In from the range. Negotiations are also being made by the government agent there for several hundred more horses from Other ranches. The army officers think these bora a are to be shipped south, and from the hurried orders, and the fact that the animals are not np to the army Standard, that it means war. Universal Vessel Destroyer. M. M Orassby of Maple Park. Kane county. III., claims to have perfected an invention by which everything afloat in every port could he destroyed without the loss of a man. and at a cost of only $.,ooo.noo. The navy department has written him for details. WEST IN CONTROL. I'oiinres CaS ! l)f ieniltl I pon. One of the curious developments in congress is the way in which tin con trpl of affairs relating to war seems to be gradually drifting into the hands of western men who represent sentiment distinctly different from thst in New England. f late days money bills in congress are made the medium of a vast amount of important legislation, snd besides that the voting of supplies is an essential to the conduct of war. It is worthy of notice therefore that the two real appropriat ions committees are beaded by Senator Allison of Iowa and Representative Cannon of Illinois. The direct work of equipping the army fails upon the military committee of the house, at the head of which is General Hull of Iowa, while the militia committee in the same body, which In the ease of war would be almost equally Important, is managed by Colonel Msrsta of Illinois. Ilaslcrii latMM'M Sat l'on. The naval committees of the house and senate were exceptions to the general rale, bot-h being in control of old members from the stale of Maine. Chairman Bou telle on the house sine set his face with curious persistence against any preparations for war. ami the result thai tin- committee ran away from him. and inserted in the appropriations bill a proposition to build three new battleships and twelve torpedo boats. On the senate side the naval committee has been practically reorganized owing to the absence of .Mr. Hale, whose policy lias been ident

ical with that of Eoutelle. and the result is that Senator Perkins of California, a practical ship owner and sailor, has been placed in charge. RawlSf I Patriotic. The only eastern man at the presse time actively at the head of a committee which has directly to do with war matters is Senator Hawley of Connecticut, who. fortunately for the country, is progressive and patriotic having been the first one to take m step to strengthen the army by providing for two new artillery regiments. To cap the climax of western Influence in tinpresent crisis, it is worth noting that the two committees on foreign affairs which sunervise the diplomatic ne tlatlonsk leading up to hostilities and which would have direct control of a proposition to declare war are under the leadership of Senator Cushman K. Davis of Minnesota ami Representative Hitt of Illinois. Took General l.ee The return of the cruiser Montgomery to Kc West baa caused much speculation, which the authorities have declined ro end by giving reasons. The real reasons are interesting, and show how grave the situation is. The accuracy of this statement cannot be questioned. The Montgomery was ordert i to return from Havana harbor at the suggestion of Consul Central Lee. He pointed out to the authorities that the retention of the cruiser in Havana harbor was the source of circulation of rumors, and a menace rather than a protection in case of an outbreak. She could not land sufficient lore to be much, if any protection to American interests, while the was not sufficiently powerful to cope with the guns of (he forts and the Spanish warships, in ease of a sudden declaration of hostilities. In view of these circumstances General Lee recommended the withdrawal of the Montgomery and the substitution of the Pent, or some other vessel of the same character. The Pern can perform equally good services as the Montgomery in the event that General Lee or othr Americans have to leave Havana in a hurry, and the Fern stsnds in less danger of being fired on than would a vessel of war. Wlcy the Iowa Wn Held Rark. General Lee recommended the sending of the Iowa to Havana to bring back the court of Inquiry- 1' U! be remembered that a rumor was printed that the administration had decided to send the Iowa to Havana to Impress the Spaniards with the power of our navy. This was at General lien's suggestion. He told the government thai the Spaniards could not be made to !- lieve that we had a formidable navy unless they had an ocular o'jmoni ration of the fact. The Spaniards, he reported, believed the Maine was the t'mct ship in the American navy and that her destruction made it Impossible for the United States to think about fighting Spain. Tooarrect this impression General Lee suggested that the Iowa should go to Havana harbor, take the court of Inquiry on board, and speed out again, an operation whicli would give the Spaniards sonn- mate: ial for sober reflection. When the faci of this recommendation came to the Knowledge of a very high naval offic r. who is familiar with every word of vidence brought en? by the court of inquiry, he made a vigorous protest, and objected most strenuously to the governments taking any risks in sending the tinest battleship of the navy into Havana harbor. He gave reasons lor making this protest, and pointed out the dangers that might be incurred. The del ails would not be proper. h i only necessary to add that the armaments ad v alu ed by this distinguished naval officer were so urgent thai the Iowa .-.as not sent to Havana.
