FAILURE OF THE TORPEDO
Naval Officers Commenting on
the Recent Engagement
in Chile
Another Threatened Revolution
in the Construction of
War Vessels
Sir Mortimer Granville Gables
a Prescription for the Grip
From London

WASHINGTON, April 0-Current events in
our own country have quickened the in
terest felt in naval matters, and the re-
port Of the recent naval engagement in
Chill, when the effort was made TO blow
up the ironclad BlancO, ef the insurgcnt
fleet, was "A subject OF general comment
today among naval officers. The naval
force engaged was small, but in view Of
the fact that modern naval architecture
and plans Of evolution are largely expert
mental, the report Of every battle Is found
to contain some germs Of more or less
suggestive information that is peculiarly
valuable to the officers who are designing
and constructing for the United States
navy that is intended to include ships Of
the finest types in the world.
A fact that once attracted attention
among these officers was the failure Of the
fish torpedo. Our own cruisers are nearly
all furnished with devices for
ejecting these automobile torpcdOes,
but instances Of their practical
utility are lacking, and II was not
comforting TO the torpedo enthusi-
asts 10 learn that the torpedo In this case
had missed It's target and destroyed dry
dock worth probably 500, 900 in which the
insurgents, who were at sea and directed
the torpedo at the foe, were probably
more deeply Interested than the govern
ment forces, which are mostly on land
1t was perceived that these weapons
might, as had been feared by some Off
GERS, prove TO be dangerous bOOmcrangS
that would destroy the vessel that elected
them or another Of their own squadron.
Then, too. the officers who had leaned
towards the belief that torpedo boats
would prove TO be powerful means Of
defending our almost unprotected ports
were surprised TO learn Of the ease with
which a simple slOOp- of war knocked such
a craft all 10 pieces at one brOadsidc
The terribly destructive effect Of one Of
the modern heavy ordnance shells was
also noted with interest, as was also the /
fact that the forts managed 10 chase away /
the sloop Of war with ease. Altogether T.
the engagement has not been without |
profit 10 our naval officers, who are await /
ing with interest an official report uf the /
affair from some Of our own ships at pres /
mt in Chilean Wates.
