ed I'm williamsburg.

WILLIAMSBURG, VA, March S0.-(Spe-
cial.) 1.-The rock and shad fishing this sea-
son on the James river has been one of
the largest and most successful known
for several years. In two "hauls" off the
fish-house tract LEO pounds of fine rosk
We're landed recently. The fish are bar
relied and shipped TO Richmond from the
river landings and from the railway sta
ton here. The shipments now. owing to
the drop in prices, have fallen off more
than half, but very soon sturgeon will
be on the market, the first generally
coming from York river, but they are not
considered as tender as those taken from
the upper James, where the water Is
fresh.

The Spanish Torpedo-Boats.
RhiladeIphIa Recordl

There Is scarcely serious menace TO
our North Atlantic fleet in the reported
sailing OF the Spanish torpedo hotiila
from The Canary Islands for Porto Rico.
IL would not be difficult matter. I'm

10 send these few little craft TO the bot
tom. As a retort 10 the assembling or
the mighty Federal naval armament. I'm
southern waters, the dispatching or
bakers dozen OF torpedo boats TO Porto
Rico seems almost ludicrously made
quate. But In cases of this sort II -
the intent rather than the performance
which is of highest importance and sig
nificance.
Torpedo boats are essentially fighting
craft. designed chiefly for defensive pur-
poses. and they would be sont on such
long voyages as that from Cadiz 20 Porto
Rico only in a grave and pressing emer-
gency. In this instance the emergency
seems TO consist IN the presumed neces-
sity OF making some sort OF counter
demonstration In Cuban waters In View
OF the majestic display OF naval power
by the United States at Key West The
real mischief i'm such n reckless and char
acteristic Spanish move Is In the almost
instant opportunity that would be af-
forded, after the arrival OF the Spanish
fiotila at san Juan. for some hasty and
inconslderate action that might precfpi-
tate hostilities. III is always dangerous
10 let the dogs OF war approach each
other closely. They are apt 10 turn and
rend each other without awaiting the
word q command from their masters.
