Naval Officer's Opinion of Spanish
Torpedo Flotills’s Movement.
WARSHIPS AT THEIR MERCY
Dfllcer Says the Flotilla Bound for Porto
Rico Could Destroy the Big Battle
Ships Now in the Vicinity of Key
West.
Key 'VVest, Fla., March 26.—It was not
until yesterday that the news of the
departure of the Spanish torpedo flo—
tilla. from the Canary Islands became
known among the naval officers here.
The feeling created was of a hostile
character, especially among the officers
of the torpedo boats Which are in this
harbor. One of the most prominent of
these officers said:
“If the United States allows the
Spanish boats to get to Porto Rico it
would be the biggest mistake ever
made. They are a greater menace to
the safety of our fleet than if the entire
Spanish navy was brought to these
waters. At Porto Rico they will be
nearer to Key \Vest than Havana.
Only two torpedo boats in our navy
would have any chance of getting away
from the Spanish torpedo destroyers.
The Iowa, New York and Indiana, be-
ing six miles off land, would practical-
ly be at the mercy of, say, a. dozen
Spanish torpedo boats which could run
from Porto Rico in short time should
war be declared. We have no prep
tected harbors here and we have not
a. single torpedo destroyer, and unless
a. fleet pOWerful enough to be proof
against these torpedo boats is quickly
concentrated in these waters, or un-
less the Spanish flotilla. is warned to
keep further away, I should judge that
it would be better to take every United
States warship as far away as possi-
ble from this menacing force which
Spain intends to concentrate within
such a convenient distance as Porto
Rico.
“It is all very well to talk of peace
and no probability of war, but at the
same time, while international rela—
tions are strained, and, as a. torpedo
boat expert, I must say that if every
ship in the 'United States Navy was
brought into these Waters it would be
none too formidable a display when
the strength of the Spanish flotilla is
considered.”
FLOTILLA MUST STOP.
If Spanish Torpedo Boats Do Not Hnlt at
Porto Rico “'ar Will Begin.
Xi'ashington, March 26.—Although the
President considers the invasion by the
Spanish torpc lo flotilla. as ve1y soil-
ous, it is claimed the t he does not ‘xiew
it uith the same degree of apprehen-
sion as naval <~flicers, who desire to in-
tercept the Spaniards before they reach
their destination.
He considers that when the flotilla
reaches Porto Rico it will still be 1.200
miles from our nearest cities, and if it
leaves that island it will be time to
exhibit alarm. The flotilla. can hardly
cross the Atlantic in less than ten days
or two weeks, and by that time a clear—
er insight into the Spanish motive will
have been obtained by the most posi—
tive diplomatic instructions, if neces-
sary.
The right of Spain to send troops or
war vessels to her colonies is recog—
nized by the State Department, but if
her preparations pass the limits of
mere defense, this country will present
the signal for immediate action of a.
forceful character.
In many quarters there have been
suggestions that the fleet should
be intercepted in mid—ocean, but
they will be disregarded. There
will be no suggestion to Spain
that we are aware of the only pos-
sible purpose that Government can
have in sending such a squadron to
these shores or to the Antilles, but
when the flotilla reaches Porto Rico
there it will stop or war begin.
No one here is in a. mood to sit com—
placently by and, out of a desire to
comply with the equivocations of dip—
lomacy, permit another danger to place
in jeopardy the lives of American soil—
ors. The navy particularly is not. It
is ready and willing for action, and
much rather would go upon the ocean
and intercept this flotilla than await
the hour when another external and
malicious agency would claim the crew
of some other of our ships. It is not
believed that the temper of the nation
will justify any action which would
permit the Spanish fleet to leave Porto
Rico.
The subject, however, is sufficiently
remote to.give time for thought as tc
the best wya of meeting the danger.
Assuming good weather and mu pro-
gress, the flotilla need not be expected
to reach Porto Rico within twelve. days.
Before that time events probably will
have shaped policies into somtthing
like definite form, but, whethe 1 01 not
prudence will dictate some cou1se of
action with reference to this fleet which
is crossing the ocean on no mission
other than hostile, the na\ v mean. to
be ready to stiike, and to strike of
fcctiv cly.
SPANISH MINISTER’S STATEMENT.
An Authoritative Disavowal of Any Un-
friendly Intentions.
‘Washington, March 26.—Senor Polo
y Bernabe, the Minister of Spain, made
the following statement to a. reporter
last night:
“It was decided to send a. number of
small craft belonging to the Spanish
navy to Porto Rico about three months
ago. There was nothing to mar the
tin-iced writers, on topics which they,
gsion, Captain Villamil, the commander,
have made their life study.
Illustrations of old fashioned imple-
ments.
A vast amount of practical infor-
mtion.

sire to stimulate production and profit.

PARIS COSTUME 0F CLOTH 0R DUCK FROM HARPER’S B‘AZAR
Coal and Skirt Costume of Cloth, Serge,
or Duck.
Simplicity and elegance are wonder-
fully combined in the models of the
spring, and one observes that there is
a return to styles in vogue some years
ago. Nothing is more interesting than
to» note how periodically the wheel of
Fiishion revolves, and how certainly
the modes of the grandmothers come
back from time to time. Daintiness
and crisp freshness characterize the
fashions of this spring, and they are
wonderfully becoming to all wearers.
A coat and skirt costume for rough-
and-ready wear is suitable for serge,
whipcords, or any firmly woven wool-
lens, as well as for duck and pique of
all kinds, as the style admits of its be—
ing made up with or without a. lining.
The skirt is snugly shaped about the
hips, the lower portion being a circular
flounce, pointed low in front, and curv-
ing high toward the back, which has a
middle scum. Bands of stitching are
the only trimming.
The jacket in open fronted style,
with rather large rolling revers, has
close coat sleeves of the latest out. The
correct cut of the gown can be obtained
from the cut paper patterns furnished
by Harper’s Bazar, where it appears.
Suggestive of spring is the hat in
sailor form, simply trimmed with a.
massive ribbon bow at one side and a.
perfumed bouquet of white and purple
French violets.

wide, 7 yards; silk lining, 14 yards.

Other certain symptoms
are pains in the small of the back; the staining of linen when urine touches it;
frequent desire to urinate, especially at night; scalding pain in passing water,
and inability to retain the urine in the bladder. Favorite Remedy overcomes
all these troubles when nothing else will.
It corrects the bad effects on the

distressing cases when the attending physician had given up hope.
