A NEW SUBMARINE BOAT
Inventor Firm Claims Wonders for
His Warship.

Jersey City. N J., May 4.-Plans for
new torpedo boat which, 1t Is said. will
be superior to the Holland and other s,ib-
marine boats. will soon be submitted TO
the United States Government by Joseph
!. Firm, inventor of the Straight Line
Press. He has been working on the
plans for some time and has them com
plete but viii not disclose them even to
the Government until he has searched
the patent records of this and other coun-
tries and has made sure that he can
protect his Invention. Firm claims for
his boat that it can stand within one hun
dred yards of the vessel it proposes TO
attack before 1t discharges the torpedo
and that it is absolutely safe from at
tack by the enemy.
The boat viii be submerged, only por-
ton Of the turret being shown above wa
ter. As soon as the torpedo is discharged
the boat will rise automa tically to the
surface and will speed away. One great
feature that is claimed for ii is that no
gun will be required to discharge the tor
pedo and no tide or current can swerve
it from its course. Firm holds over fifty
patents. All his inventions have been
practical and have paid.
He will offer his plans for the torpedo
boat to the Government and will let the
naval authorities build the boat so that
the secret of its construction may be
theirs

spaniards Want Man to Look After
Their Interests in America.

New York, May "A cable dispatch was
received yesterday at the offices of the
Cuban junta in New Street which puzzled
all those in authority there. After look
ing over the message carefully it was de-
cided that it could not have been meant
for this Office and it was accordingly re-
turned to the Office of the cable company
receiving it. The message was simply
addressed THE Junta, New York, and
accordingly ii was sent to the Cubans
The message was in Spanish. The trans
lation as made by a member of the Gu
ban iunta was as follows:
Madrid, April 2, 1Sos.-Jmta, New York-Beg
YOU cable If YOU have found substitute. Ii is
gent for us to have a correspondent. Ii a Span
lard impossible, look for a foreigner, Frenehman
preferred SANTANA.
The Cubans could not in any way under
stand this message. They did not know
whom it was from and the only explana-
ton that could be offered at their offices
was that the message had been sent to
some Spanish organization or council in
as cable address. 1t was suggested that
possibly the message was from the editor
of Epoca. one of the prominent govern
ment organs of Madrid. The editor of
this paner is Senor Santa Ana.
The Cubans arg positive that Spain is
receiving information not only from this
city. but from other important news
centers in the United States.

ally. OF course, the President, the Sec

that some decisive step is contemplated
but what it is can only be conjectured.
The fleet viii probably do one of three
things. These are to meet and escort
the Oregon and Marietta; to go to Porto
Rico, and there meet the Spanish Cape
Verde feet, or take a port in Cuba in
advance of the landing of United States
troops.
There is much concern felt in naval
circles anent the Oregon and Marietta,
and to meet and protect them from the
Spanish fleet seems the most plausible
object of Admiral Sampson.
