There is no kind of naval vessel that

Irritable way But of all the various craft,

Meet there Is none so thoroughly undesir-
abie TO the soarcher after a safe and easy
berth as q torpedo boat
lhe man on the torpedo boat has three
sktecnths of an inch of steel between him
ana the sea that is hungriy watching its
chance to swallow him. The boat could be
cut In two with can opener Not only
would It's walls give way like tissue paner
before the FIRE of great guns, rapid fire
guns ana machine guns, but they would not
resist bullet from hand rife, or even
from good sized revolver.
NO HOPE.
on an ordinary vessel there Is some
chance of getting behind something that
might oonceivably turn projectile The
crew OF torpedo boat is practically in the
open air, ANY shot that strikes the craft
wiz search 1t from end - end like an X
ray.
For all that there is rivalry to shin on a

death. Their mission Is to strike and bring

could have chased the Spanish sduadron
and destroyed them whether the latter de-
sired or not to give battle,
AS It IL, the speed Of the Spanish neo
on this side, is eight knots an hour faster
than our frst-class fighting ships and II
can annoy us almost at its pleasure! This
| is dangerous advantage. The battleshlrs
having to wait for and watch for the enemy
on the sea, are prevented from attacking
| the land Notifications at Havana. The
want OF such an Independent bombarding
feet Is preventing the military occupation
OF Cuba.
What Is the further RESULT The DIS
patches tell us Havana is twice as strong
as three weeks ago, both on the water and
land side. II will cost heavy loss to cap
ture the city by assault now, when II would
have been comparatively easy to acoomplish
such feat without great loss short
while since.
For this condition OF affairs the congress
is chiefly responsible. The spread eagle
patriots for effect, have voted against d.
partment suggestions and requests and
boastfully answered that we could lick
the world and get ready to It after
war had commenced That would be time
We are now on the eve of paying
for this neglect of the Nations interests
aud this ignorant overconiidenco aud dcma,
yogc false economy,
Sun the bureau of naval construction is
not wholly blamoless. Three or four
cruisers might have been built,
rs was suggested by naval officers. for
what a dozen practically useless gunboats
have cost, Cruisers like the Raleigh aud
cincinnati the Columbia and Minneapolis
ought to have waited until the armoiei
ype had been constructed.
But, possibly, 1t takes experience of
actual war to teach US the real needs Of
war. IL we are to play a great part in the
'uture history OF Nations, as sepms de5-
ined for us, this war with fourth.rate
Jower will be worth its cost as practical
esson--if 1t shalt educate and liberalze
'ongrcss' The naval officers aud the mill
airy authorities can be depended on to
quickly learn their part of the lesson.

PRESIDENT DOLE'S VISIT.
Did Not Come to Work for Annexa-
ton. but simply to he ON the
Ground to Advise.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 17--when the
steamer Peru locked this morning Presi-
dent Dole, of Hawaii, was greeted by the
Hawaiian consul and few friends. but
there were no representatives of the Uni
ted States government TO formally wei
come him. Owing to the fact that the
steamer came i'll after dark last night, no
salute was fired.
II was half-past IL o'clock before Presi-
dent Dole and his party had landed and ar
rived at the Occidental hotel. Mr. Dole
promptly received delegation Of newspa-
per men and spoke freely of his mission
here. He said:
Il do not come 10 the United States to
work for annexation. / am merely on a
