DID THEY HIT THE CRAFTe
warships Fire on One of the Spanish Tor
pedo Boats mt Night.

Chicago. June 10. - The Associated
Press has a copyrighted dispatch from
its press boat of Santiago de Cuba de-
scribing the firing by United States war;
ships on 4 supposed Spanish torpedo
boat Friday night last. 1t is absolutely
not known according to this report
whether the torpedo boat was hit. The
story says the boat was first seen by
the New Orleans and later Captain Tall
ger reported that he had sighted Il
sn ali steamer, perhaps gunboat; that
sht lad failed To answer the private
signal, and that he had fired on her. He
believed she had escaped along the
beach, OF had been destroyed. he could
not tell which. That ended the first
experience here with torpedo boats in
naval warfare. 1t was not until the
Porter found the torpedoes that the
danger of the affair was fully realized.
The Porter was s;eaming two miles
from shore and well to the eastward Of
MORO castle when TWO torpedoes were
seen floating on the water.
Ensign Gillis jumped overheard and
swan around them. He tried to un-
screw the war nose. but the torpedo IL.
self turned too easily in the water. He
returned to the Porter and Commander

Fremont rnally got one of the torpedoes
safely on board. The other sunk as he
was getting il in. Commander Fremont
then brought the torpedo alongside the
New York. 1t was a 1i-inch Whitehead
OF modern make. and worth about So
500. 1t was in perfect condition and had
any Of our ships struck it while it
foated it would have exploded and per-
haps sunk the ship. Therefore the find
was not only valuable but most fort
urate.
curious fact is that the torpedo
which sunk had an exercise head on and
had no war nose, and would not have
exploded. This either means that the
Spaniaros are terribly ignorant or care
less about torpedoes. Precautions
against a night torpedo attack have
been distinguishing feature of Ad-
miral SIMPSONS policy ever since the
commencement of the war, and Friday
night proved the efficacy of the ar
ra:gements. Everything moved as
sr.Co othly as If in the case of a day en-
gagement. In spite of the difficulty ex-
perienced in seeing the enemy, had a
torpedo boat ventured anywhere near
the effective range of fire it would un-
deubted!y nave been shot to pieces. 1t
Is possible that there were two torpedo
Boats out, although only one is believed
TO have approached anywhere near our
