EFFECT ON SUMMER RESORTS.
Those Along the Seacoast Make a
New Form of Lease.

New York, March 25.-The Herald
prints the following:
Seaside summer resorts as rule
have only been slightly affected by the
talk of war between the United States
and Spain. Along the Jersey coast the
hotel men and real estate agents re-
port applications for the coming season
in some cases exceeding in volume
those of last year.
War clauses, cancelling leases in case
of hostilities, are insisted upon by some
cOttagers, and in Atlantic Highlands
the timid talk of the effect of a bonn
bardment of Sandy Hook
Depression is felt along the Connect
cut shore, which is attributed in some
measure to the uncertainty.
Interior resorts are expecting to reap
profits from fugitives from the coast
in the event of war.

Says Her Boats Can Run Over
From Porto Rico
And Destroy the Whole Fleet
as Matters Stand.
SHOULD BE STOPPED
Or Immediate Measures Taken
For Proper Protection.
Every Ship in the Navy is Need
ed in Cuban Waters.

Key West, Fla, March est was not
until today that the news of the de-
parture of the Spanish torpedo fiOtilIa
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, it will
be the biggest mistake ever made. They
are greater menace to our fleet than
if all the rest of the Spanish navy was
brought to these waters.
At Porto Rico they will be nearer
Key West than Cuba. Only two tor
pedO boats in our navy would have any
chance in getting away from the Span
fSh torpedo boat deStrOyers. The Iowa,
New York and Indiana lying out there
six miles off the land would practically
be at the mercy of a dozen Spanish tor
pedO boats which could run over from
Porto Rico in a short time, should war
be declared. We have no protected
harbOrS here and we have not a, single
torpedo boat destroyer, and unless a
fleet powerful enough to be proof
against these torpedo boats is quickly
concentrated in these waters, or unless
the Spanish f1otilla is warned to keep
further away, 1 should judge that it
would be better to take every United
States WarShip as far away as possible
from this menacing force, which Spain
intends to concentrate within such a
convenient distance as Porto Rico.
TT is very wen to talk of peace and
say that there is no probability of war,
but at the same time, while interna-
tional relations are strained, displays
of force should be met with alacrity
that if every ship in the United States
navy was brought into these waters,
it would be none too formidable a dis
play when the strength of the Spanish
fOtilla is considered

United Ireland conducted a pretty

He was not here for the purpose of
obeying the Sheriff's instructions or or
ders, his orders being from Governor
Tanner. The militia are patroniZing

remain during their stay.
