meet her with the operator. One of the
cables controls the boat, while the other
steers her.
She carries two lights which reflect
their lights backward, so they are seen by
the operator only, and not by the hostile
ship, keeping the operator informed as
to the actions of the boat. II one Is above
the other, she is going ahead. If sideways,
she is making for the stern or bow of
warship. No light, the boat has stopped.
She runs with but three inches showing
above the water and can be submerged to
fifteen feet
Extending from her bow is long spar,
with two arms extended. Extended again
from these is a steel harpoon with two
arms lying fiat. The harpoon is forced
through the net, the arms unloosened,
spring upon the inside of the net and
keep it fastened there. The open arms of
the boat strike the net on the outside and
drop the spar back into the boat which
strikes the trigger. The can attached to
the harpoon by a chain falls and is swung
under the vessel to be destroyed. At the
same time, the leather cap is torn off the
tube of the charge can. This action lets
out the potassium. which, on meeting with
the water, ,ignites the rocket, ,expels the gas
from the can, and this explodes the charge
can, the boat backs out of danger and re-
turns to the operator, only minus har-
poon chain and can. The speed of the
Halpine is 10 knots an hour.

Are Likely to Be Low Before the Sea-
son Ends
CHICAGO, May IA vigorous campaign
is to be conducted by the Southern Pacific
against the Canadian Pacific in relation to
eastern rates from California. 1t at first
requested transmissippi lines to join
with 1t in making the reductions necessary
to make the rates, which 1t is alleged, the
Canadian Pacific is making. These roads
expressed their willingness to make the
rates. provided the rebate plan was adopt
ed in handling the tickets and the custom
ary provisions were observed. They did
not believe that the rates should be re-
duced to points on the Mississippi river,
but were willing that the rate to st. Louis
should be lower than that to Chicago by
81. The transmissippi lines were willing
to apply the reductions on their through
business to New York and Washington
providing the reduced rates should be ap-
piled through all gateways and that pro-
visions should be made in the collection
Of rebates for the protection of all the, in
termediate lines. The Southern Pacific
did not wish to be hampered with all these
restrictions and now announces that 1t
has made arrangements with single line
and that 1t will not attempt to do the bus
mess with the transmissippi lines as a
whole.

NEWS FROM The FLEET
Is CONFIDENTLY EXPECTED TO
ARRIVE TONIGHT
IF SPAIN'S SHIPS DO NOT HIDE
The Greatest Naval Battle Of the World
Will Be Fought This
Afternoon
Associated Press Special Wire

Associated Press Special Wire
4 NEW YORK, May IA special to the
World from Washington says:
1--WE expect important news from Ad-
miral SIMPSONS fleet about Sunday
night" said member Of the Cabinet to-
night. Rear Admiral Sampson, with q
number Of his ships, is rapidly steaming
toward the Porto Rican coast. He Is ex-
pected to arrive off Porto Rico Saturday
evening.
The Spanish Cape Verde fleet, which is
believed to be making for San Juan, Porto
Rico, should make it's appearance some
time Sunday. Should the two powerful
fleets meet. as now seems imminent. the
greatest naval battle of the world will be
fought.
The Spanish fleet is considered by the
American authorities as presenting a very
formidable array of fighting vessels, and
the ability Of its commander, Admiral
Villamil, is well known. But the naval
officials have no fears Of the result of a
battle between the two fleets. President
Mckinley and Secretary Long have re-
ceived no information to change their be-
lief that the Cape Verge fleet is coming
this way. Should Rear Admiral Sampson
fail to locate the Spaniards after dill
gent search, it is not positive that he will
attempt to seize Porto Rico. All depends
upon the course of events.
The administration wants first to accom-
plish the destruction of the Cape Verde
fleet. After that has been disposed Of, a
move will be made on Cuba. Havana will
be given twenty-four hours to surrender;
American troops will then be landed.
The President hopes that with two of
her fleets destroyed, Spain will sue for
peace and Cuba will be conquered without
sending an American soldier there.

EXPECTATIONOF ATTACK
SCARES THE sPANIARDs IN THE
.CANARIES
Desperate Efforts at Improving De-
fenses Much Interfered With
by the Lack Of Revenue

NEW YORK, May 1.-The possibility of
Canaries has caused an uneasy feeling in
Liverpool. where extensive interests in the
Canaries are held, says the London corre-
spondent of the World.
The Liverpool correspondent of the Daily
Chronicle telegraphs:
II have ascertained that the possibility
of such an attack is by no means discount
ed by well-informed persons. Indeed, 1t is
looked upon rather as a probability than
otherwise.
II find also that Spain will not leave the
Canaries unprotected. There is an enor-
nous quantity of coal there-larger than
that at any time in years past. The mill
tary authorities are taking possession of
buildings belonging to British firms, and,
when asked for payment, neither pay nor
give thank you.'
"In view of possible early complications
it is advisable to state that, although the
majority of the most important places in
the Canaries are held by British capital,
they virtually are Spanish because the
Spanish government insists upon all land
and business being registered under Span
ish name. So, to all intents and purposes,
a British enterprise in the Canaries is
Spanish.
1.-THE Spanish government is making the
most desperate efforts to raise revenue,
how and by whatever means it can do So
The government has sold by auction mo-
ropoly of the gunpowder, arms and ammu-
milton trade, to a certain syndicate at a
fabulous figure.
Another syndicate has purchased a mo-
nopoly of paints, oils, etc. In like man.
ner tax has been levied upon all the silver
mines.
"It is generally believed in well-informed
circles that the Spanish government has
specific designs on the Spanish copper
mines, the most important of which are at
Tharsus and Rio Tintos, worked, in the
main, by foreign capital, and which have
hitherto entirely escaped"
War Munitions
NEW YORK, May IA dispatch to the
World from London says:
A message from Las Palmas, the principel
town Of the Canary Islands, reports the
arrival there, April 2sth, of the merchant
steamship Leon, from Cadiz, with twenty
five tons Of gunpowder and sixteen tons of
fixed ammunition for the Notifications
there.
The Leon has also four ten-inch Hontor
las and four tons of fixed ammunition for

NEW YORK, May 1.-The Halpine tor
pedo boat lies in the shed at the long dock
at Willett's Point all ready for her trial
trip before the engineer officers who are to
pass judgment upon her. She has been
overhauled and put in order during the
last two weeks. Her batteries have been
placed aboard and she stands ready for

The superior merit chained for her by

to reach the Mediterranean through the
Suez Canal if they were ordered to do so.
"There is a great deal Of popular ignor-
ance on this point. AS matter Of fact,
the Suez Canal is open to belligerents. The
principle of the naturalization Of the Suez
Canal was applied by the convention of
six great powers, by the Turkish empire,
Spain and the Netherlands. Strictly
speaking, their action does not bind the
powers that were not powers to the con-
vention but as none is of any Importance
except the United States, and all have dis
tinctly acquiesced in what was done, the
practical result is the same as If the whole
body of civilized nations had formally ex-
pressed their adhesion to it.
1.-THE convention declares that the canal
is to be open in time of war, as well as in
time of peace, to all ships, whether mer-
chantmen or vessels of war, whether bel
ligerents or neutral, but no acts of hostil-
ity are to be committed either in the canal
itself or in the sea, to distance of three
miles from either end of it.
"The entrances are not to be blockaded
The stay of belligerent vessels of war or
their stay in the ports at either end is not
to exceed twenty-four hOurs, and bellig-
erents are not to embark troops or NUM-
tions Of war within the canal or its ports
"By using the canal, Spanish vessels
will be compelled to go only 1900 miles to
reach Manila. The steaming radius of the
Almirante Oquendo, Vizcaya and Infanta
Maria Teresa is 800 miles, going at the rate
of ten knots, and they, therefore, could 10
the entire distance without recoaling. If
necessary, they could take colliers along.
None of Commodore Dewey's vessels has
such a steaming radius and If they should
be sent to the Mediterranean they would
have TO take Golfers along and might be
caught without coal in that sea-

that Spain will attempt to retake the Phil
lppincs.

NEW YORK, May IA special to the

If Spain desires to send fleet to the Phil

Trough the Suez Canal" was the statement
made by a high official of the State De-
partment.
"Of course" he continued "the serious
question of coal supply would greatly ha-
rass her, but If the American vessels can
find dealers willing to take the risk of vio-
lating the neutrality laws OF the nation In

the spaniards, provided the latter pays the
necessary cash.

1t Is more probable, it is said, that the
