A GREAT MENACE
Key West, Fla. March 25.-It was not
until today that the news of the de-
parture of the Spanish torpedo fiotilla
from the Canary Islands became known
among the naval officers here. 1t Gre
ated intense feeling, especially among
the officers of the torpedo boats which
are in this harbOr. One of the most
prominent of these officers said today:
IF the United States allows the Span
ish boats to get TO Porto Rico 1t VIII
be the biggest mistake ever made. They
are a greater menace TO the safety OF
our feet than if all the rest Of the
Spanish navy was brought to these
waters. At Porto Rico they Will be
nearer Key West than Havana. Only
two torpedo boats in our navy would
have any chance of getting away from
the Spanish torpedo boat destroyers-
The Iowa, New YORK ana 1uuldues
out there six miles off from land, would
practically be at the mercy of dozen
Spanish torpedo boats, which could run
over from Porto Rico in short time
should war be declared
NO PROTECTED HARBOR-
I'VE have no protected harbors here,
and we have not a, single torpedo boat
destroyer. and unless fleet powerful
enough to be proof against these tor
pedo boats is quickly concentrated IN
those waters. or unless the Spanish
fotilla is warned to keep further away,
I should judge that it would be better
10 take every United States warshlp as
far away as possible from this menac-
ing force which Spain intends TO con-
centrate within such a convenient dis
lance as Porto Rico.
WHAT SHOULD BE DONE.
1T is all very well to talk of peace
and 10 say that there is no probability
of war. but. at the same time; while
international relations are strained, dis
plays of force should be met with alac-
rity. and as a torpedo expert 1 must
say that if every ship in the United
States navy was brought into these
waters. it would be none too formidable
a display when the strength or ths
Spanish fiOtilla is considered.

ties of the bank are about $1,000. 000.

is solvent.

When the possibility of arbitration and
the ensuing ENHANCEMENT were suggested
to him. Rear Admiral Sicard said:
1.-The Maine case is nothing in COM
DarisOn with the Alabama claims. Then
we We're opposed to a powerful COM
mercial rival, but now we are dealing

The officials here refuse to say why the
Mangrove left so suddenly for Havana,
but it can be stated positively that the
object of her visit is to bring the Amer
lean officials here.
Whether conditions on her arrival at
Havana will justify a fulfllment of the
mission. or whether her orders may then
be changed, is matter of surmise.
Washington. March 25.-At the White
House it was said that official advices
here did not bear out the suggestion of
a pending crisis in Havana, and that
there were no dispatches from there of
a -disquieting nature. AS to the movement
of the Mangrove, il was said that her
departure was merely in line with orders
issued several days ago to go to Havana
and return with the remaining officers
of the Maine now there.

LOGIC oF THE JUNTA.
SPANS Consent to Uncle Sans Cuban
Charity Explained.

New York. March 25.-HoratiO s. Ru-
bens. consul of the Cuban junta, says in
regard to the sending of supplies to Cuba:
THE sending OF relief supplies to Cuba
is not so much intervention as assistance
to the Spanish government II enables
Spain to spend for munitions of war TO
fight the Cubans and possibly the United
States. the money which humanity dc
tates should go to the authorization of the
condition of the recOnsentradcs-
That these unfOrtunates should re-
ceive relief is beyond question. Such Is
the earnest desire of every man with a
spark of humanity. but the only true
remedy is as General Proctor says. 10
allow them to go back to the fieldS. Even
in the present desOlated condition OF
Cuba. the insurgents live on the country
and so could the reconcentrados. That
would also relieve Spain of the obligation
to feed them. you may say. but the pres
ent kind of assistance must be continued
indefinitely. or so long as Spain holds
the reconcentradOs. She does it because
she knows that the reconcentrados are
Cubans and that their return to the coun-
try would aid the Cuban soldiers So long
as we feed the reconcentrados they will
be held as such by SPAIN We must feed
them or Spain will starve them, or else
we must intervene.
