,hinery Of the several torpedo-boats
md torpedo boat t-destroyers was pur-
posely disabled by the engineers of the
various crafts. Captain Barnett says
he received this information from ab-
solutely reliable sources. A plot was
entered into by the several engineers
to do the work, and successfully it was
done. The engineers, crew, and many
Of the officers did not relish the trip
across the ocean in torpedo boats, and
finding the Spanish government de-
termined to make them CO. as last
resort crippled the machinery. In
proof that the machinery was purposely
disabled, none of the engineers of the
torpedo fotilla were allowed to repair
it, the work being done by local ma
chine shop at Las Palmas.
Captain Barnett says he obtained ii
from an unquestioned source that the
torpedo fotilla did not want to en-
counter United States fleet if it could
be avoided. They will likely keep out
of the track of our vessels, and may
content themselves with picking up an
occasional prize.
The torpedo fotilla left Las Palmas
March 30, and its destination was un-

HAVANA WILL BE BOMBARDED.
SPANISH STRENGTH.
Has Now Fifty-Eight Ships in Cuba aud
Porto Rican Waters.


A special from Washington says :
Resistance attempted by the Spanish
vessels now in Cuban and Porto Rican
waters to the blockade instituted by
the North Atlantic squadron will be
followed by their destruction.
Although Spain has total of fifty
eight ships distributed in Cuban aud
Porto Rican waters, no doubt exists
in official circles of the ability of the
North Atlantic squadron to easily
destroy those which it will meet in the
vicinity Of Cuba.
OF the Spanish force the largest
cruiser, the Alfonso XII, 5000 tons
displacement, lies in disabled con-
dition in Havana harbor and it is ex-
pected that it will remain there until
the American flag displaces that Of
Spain.
Spain's next largest ship in Cuban
waters is the cruiser Reina Mercedes,
of 5000 tons, built in 1887, which is
regarded as very good vessel of her
type. The only other ship which
American en-of-war have to fear are
seven torpedo vessels: The Filipinas,
of 750 tons and twenty knots; the
Jorge Juan, of 935 tons and thirteen
knots; the Nueva Espana, of $50
tons and 1876 knots, and the Galacia,
the Marquese de Molins, the Martin
Alonzo and the Vincente Yanez, each
of 571 tons and 1876 knots.
-Four cruisers of between !, 100 and
1900 tons are distributed around the
island. In addition to this force,
Spain has stationed in Cuban waters
large number of gunboats, ranging in
displacement from 500 to 90 tons.

Gen. Stewart L. Woodford, United

some exciting experiences. The Span

police for capture on the ground that
he is subject of Spain, but the at

Valladolid the Unitd States minister's
train was attacked and stoned. Win
dows were broken and the civil guards
compelled to protect his carriage with
drawn swords. The Spanish police
made determined eff1rt to get Mr..
Moreno, but Gen. Woodford stood in
the doorway of the carriage, declaring
he should only be removed by force.
A detachment of police accompanied
the train from Toloso to San Sebastian,
where the police officials left, on see-
ing that the general was determined
to maintain his rights.
