THE SPANISH TORPEDO FLEET.
Its Coming Westward Viewed with Con-
Germ Among the officials of the
Navy Departments.

WASHINGTON. March a6.-Interest
bordering upon concern is manifested
among officials of the navy department
over the movement of the spanish fleet
of torpedo boats from the Canarics To
Porto Rico. The iotilla is one OF the
most formidable of its kind afoat. and
the sending OF it to the West Indies at
this time is regarded as IN indication
of SPANS endeavor to be prepared for
any emergency that may arise in or
near Cuba
Time Required to Make the Trip.
Naval experts are OF the opinion that
under ordinary circumstances it will
take the fiotilla about ten days to make
the journey. but il is exceedingly like
ly that it will actually require several
days longer The liability Of the boats
to accident = great. particularly If
they should encounter rough weather.
Then. too, if they should be accom-
panied by a collier. the speed OF tac
fleet would be red uced To that of the
coal boat

Correspondence with the spanish Minister
IL is understood that some CORE

the torpedo boat notilla is not unlikely.
The statements made Thursday to
the effect that this government
might regard the sending of the
fiotilla to West Indian waters
as an unfricndly act, inasmuch
as it was evident that the boats were
not intended for use against the Gu
bans. and, as matter of fact, could be
employed only against a hostile fleet
