partment since the outbreak of the war; No
dispatches had come over night, and it was
said that none was expected. The situation
at Santiago is such, in the opinion of the
officials, that no startling developments are
to be expected Immediately. and the next
news that is to be looked for from that
quarter is from the arrival of troops. As
far as can be gathered, in spite Of all re-
ports to the contrary, these troops have not
yet started and the naval officials are inn
patiently awaiting for the movement. 1t
is possible that a small advance detachment
has gone forward, but il is felt here that
even that composed of engineers and the
battalion siege train is lying off Key West.
There is much dissatisfaction at the slow
ness and slender means of the appropriation
and chronic difficulty encountered in getting
anything down there in a hurry. In army
circles it seems to be expected that Samp-
son is to furnish sufficient force to con-
voy the troop transports, but 1T is not
known whether he is to supply this force
from his own squadron off Santiago or
whether he will call on Commodore Watson,
off Havana. to perform this work. In the
first case there would be considerable delay
owing to the length of time required for the
war ships to make the passage around from
Santiago to Key West.
The officials do not credit the cable re-
port that troops nave been landed at Point
Cabrera, half a dozen miles west of SAINT
tago bay and they are inclined to the opin-
ion that if there has been any landing in
that vicinity it was confined to the supply
of arms and food to the insurgents abound
ing in Santiago province.
The Navigation Bureau of the Navy De-
partment closed up for the day before noon,
because there was nothing to be done
at present. Acting Secretary Allen spent
some time in going over his mail and in
conference with Superintendent Rogers,
chief of the board engaged in the selection
Of auxiliary vessels for the navy, who came
over from New York for the purpose,
bringing much data about number of
small craft that have been examined by
the board. Secretary Long is still confined
to his room, and passed restless night
with his strained leg, which now shows
signs of infammatory rheumatism or some
kindred ailment.
Commander Hawley has just returned to
the Navy Department to consult officials
before proceeding on another tour of the
lake ports in search of sailors for the navy.
The commander has left $50 men at Norfolk,
from Chicago, mostly naval reserve men.
He will proceed to Detroit, then to Sag
inaw Mich, where he will be met by Chief
Engineer Webster and a surgeon.

louisville & Nashville road for Montgom-

TAMPA. The Eleventh Infantry took the
same route during the afternoon. and the
camp of regulars is no more. Five regi-

officers that there will shortly be centered

THE TORPEDO PROBLEM.
Twelve Attacks Have Been Made
Since the PrOjectiIe Was First Used.

Chicago News.
Among the most interesting problems 10
TO be settled by the present conflict is
the one defining the actual value of the
torpedo an engine for the destruction
of vessels of war. The torpedo that has
been most extensively adopted by the
riouS nations is known as the White
head" and it is the one used in the Amer
lean navy, although it has been somewhat
modihed as the result of study by our de-
signers. This device is automobile and be-
fore it is discharged it's direction and speed
After 1t has left the vessel it is not possible
to change its course or increase its velocity
and 1t will be seen that a very small vara-
ton in it's bearing would cause il 10 90 wide
of target 800 or 1900 yards distant. From
the frequency with which the torpedo is re-
ferred to and the general fear in which 1t
Is held, one would suppose that no engine
of war was better understood or in more
common use, but since the invention of the
projectile in the '70s there have been few
wars in which it has been used and not al
ways then with success. n Washington
paper recently said naval records show mat
in all only twelve actual torpedo attacks
have been made" since 1871 when an En-
glish vessel launched one without apparent
success against a Peruvian ship. In these
recorded twelve attacks seventeen. torpe-
does were used; six of the assaults sue
ceeded and the same number failed. But II
is noticeable that the cases of success were,
nearly all of them, instances where the OBJ
JectiVe vessel was at close range or was not
in motion.
SO far the use Of the torpedo. while adj
mttedly a dangerous affair if it hits. has
shown that the chances of effectiveness
when vessels are in motion are somewhat
remote. The compressed air that moves 1t
is sufficient to propel it 1900 yards or more,
but the movement is comparatively slow for
such a distance. But propelled at a speed
Of twenty miles an hour ship five hundred
yards distant and in motion would be more
likely to escape than TO be hit by torpedo
To be uniformly effective the torpedo must
be used at short range. and the inability
of torpedo boats to stand the fire of modern
guns makes the chance of successfully
launching the missile from them uncertain
especially in daylight.
Probably the present war may show tne
defects in the Whitehead torpedo so that
it be improved and made much more
certain in its destructiveness than it now
is. and while it is 10 be dreaded even as AZ
present, 1t is more likely TO fail than to ac-
cnrnnlish its ends

1t is apparent to the department officials
that the call for volunteers did not extend
beyond the two ships New York and Merri-
