VALUE OF TORPEDO BOATS,
shown In Sham Night Attack Mt *

shown In Sham Night Attack Mt Key
A dispatch to the New York Herald
from Key West, Fla. says: An illustra-
ton OF the disadvantages which a fleet
at anchor would have when attacked by
n torpedo ilotilla was shown Tuesday
night, when a sham attack was made
upon the fleet by five Of the torpedo
boats here. Seven powerful search
lights played about each ship, and look
outs armed with night glasses kept
vigil from all parts OF the vessels, but
in spite Of this the torpedo boats won 4
signal victory.
The Dupont steamed within striking
distance OF the Iowa before being dis
covered and the Ericsson and Wins
low gained 4 poiE. of vantage between
the Indiana and the Iowa from which
they could have destroyed either or
both battleships, though they would
probably have been destroyed them
selves soon after launching their tor
pedoes.
warning has besn sent out that crafts
playing about these ships at night do so
at their own risk. An guns Of every
vessel, including the big guns of the
main batteries, are loaded at sunset,
and any strange craft venturing c
does Sc at her peril, for the ships are
taking no risks of being Sunk by an ene-
my's torpedo boat at night.
"a news dispatch boat came In from
Havana, her course carrying her within
a mile or so II the anchored battleships.
Searchlights and guns were promptly
turned upon her, and had the suspect
altered her course to head for the ships
she would have been Ired upon before
reaching the Zone where a torpedo boat
can do its work.
The part OF the navy which Is assem-
bied here Is pressing the preparations
for war with undated vigor. Orders
to remove the wooden pilot houses,
floating bridges and all woodwork Of the
vessels not absolutely essential were is
sued, and the work. has been begun.
The removal of this woodwork reduces
danger from flying splinters and the
chances OF fire breaking out on board
during action. The material Is to be
sent ashore and slowed in naval store
houses.
The recent sailing Of Spanish war
ships from C~arthagena, presumably for
Cuba, has created considerable feeling
among many of the officers, as was the
case when the first torpedo fiotilla SAIL
ed. 1t Is insisted thar prompt action
should e taken to assemble in these wa
tiers such a display Of naval force as
thoroughly to Offset SPANS coming

The cable from Dry Tortugas to Key
West has been completed.

That Spanish Torpedo Flo.illa.

The confederation OF the report OF Sat-
urday to the effect that the Spanish 40
tilla had been delayed at the Cape Verde
Islands Is an unexpected favorable ele-
ment in the situation concerning the fac
tors that would appear in the opening of
hostilities in the event Of Immediate war.
1t Is estimated that the storm which
crippled the fotilla SO that 1t was
obliged to return to the Cape Verde Is
lands for repairs. a thousand miles gu;
OF Its course, will delay its arrival for
at least two weeks. This feature Of the
naval problem is therefore eliminated
for the time being. and Is MS cmbarrass-
ing to Spain as 1t is welcome news on this
side of the water. 1t opens up the prob
ability that, with prompt action, the
work Of driving the Spanish nag from
Cuban waters can be expedited, and may
possibly be accomplished before the no.
tllla can become an importan. factor.
There is no doubt that by the close of
this week matters will be in such shape
that the end may not be far off. unless
the signs that Spain may yet be induced
by the European powers to grant the de-
mands OF the United States and avoid
the certain defeat that would come with
war may be realized.

The New York Journal OF Commerce
makes the recent disastrous failure OF
the Chestnut Street tPhiladelphia) Bank
the text for some salutary remarks in
regard to the duties and shortcomings
OF bank directors. A board OF bank d.
~rcctors should be, as their designation
suggests, the directing power and III
thority OF any financial institution. and
not merely an ac1ulescing and perfume
tory and nominal board. In the case OF
the Philadelphia bank they were simply
this latter. The president and cashier
usurpcd them In the interest OF the presi-
dent. ~dlscountlng his paper far beyond
the legal limit OF allowance to any one
borrower. The xcu OF tho cashier
was that the president was a rich man
(%supposed to bc) and n very honorable
man Supposed to be-. and that while
his loans and ovcrdrafts were not each
and all reported to the board Gas they
ehould have been), yet the board were
aware of the general fact that he was a
large borrower and had not demanded
that his accommodations be submitted
to them In advance OF their acceptance
or d%eclination. This was a fatal mis-
take, as also was the cashler's habit OF
allowing the presidents ovcrdrafts TO
80 into the drawer as SO much cash.
Even In his sworn statement. prior to.
the failure. he treated them as cash on
hand, instead Of as q liability. {,
As in all cases where disaster follows
such unbusinesslike methods the dlrec-
tors now appear to very poor advantage
in the eyes OF the business people OF
Philadelphia. And yet, rs the Journal
says. they are but duplicates OF n great
many bank directors the country over.
II puts the case in a nutshell as follows:
What were the cashier and the direc-
tors doing all this time? Well, they
were doing about what they are doing
In a great many banks. No n knows
what they are doing unless the bank
fails, and then II Is usually found that
they are doing what the cashier and the
directors of the Chestnut Street Bank
were doing. The cashier wa doing
what the president told him to do, and
the directors were not doing anything.
Seven Of them have been examined on
oath, and they said they had no idea how
much Mr.. Singerly owed the bank till 1t
failed.
