spanish Admiral Admits That Torpedos
g. Were Sent to Cuba.
MADRID, April 12.-N Heraldo de
Madrid publishes an interview with
Admiral Beranger, former minister of
marine, in the course Of which he ex-
pressed his confidence in the ability Of
the Spanish navy to win in the event
Of war with the United States.
'There is no fear" said Admiral
Beranger, ''of our Cuban ports being
exposed to night attack, inasmuoh as
Havana, Cienfuegos, Nuevitas and San
tiago de Cuba are defended by electric
and automatic torpedoes with large
radius Of action.
"The late Senior Canovas del Castillo,
who paid attention to these matters,
decided in accord with myself to send
to Cuba 100 torpedoes which must
have been placed in those harbors.
