SPANS TORPEDO BOATS
MANY or THEM ARE MADE IN
ENGLAND.
Something About the Vessels Compos-
ing the Flotilla Sent to Porto Rico
Their Armament and Engines.

In the torpedo flotilla which left Ca
dir, Spain, March 18th, for Porto Rico
are the destroyers Furor and Terror
and the Pluton. The other vessels in
the squadron are English built. sea
going torpedo boats. \ letter to the
New York Times from Gourock, Scot
land, describes these formidable war
ships of the Spanish navy. The Au-
daz and Osado were launched at
Greenock during February and March
of last year, respectively, and should
have been completed long ere this,
had it not been for the engineers
strike in Britain, which delayed all
classes of ship building. The Audaz,
Osado, Pluton and Prosperina are sis
ter vessels. and in construction are
much similar to the latest class of
British torpedo boat destroyers.
While the British boats are 200 feet
! in length. with an average breadth of
10 feet. and of 800 tons displacement,
the Spanish destroyers have length
of 225 feet. with beam of 22H feet.
and their displacement in tonnage is
close to 400 tons.
OF the torpedo boats i'm the flotilla.
the Arete and Rayo were built at
tnlSWlck IN 1851. lnPN are OF l-O
tons displacement, and their arma-
ment consists of three FOUNDER quick
firing and one machine gun. and two
torpedo launching tubes. The Areta
has engines of 1.630 horse power and
can carry twenty-five tons of coal and
steam twenty-five knots an hour. The
Rayo can speed half a knot faster, al
though her engines are of only 1900
horse power. She can carry the same
amount of coal.
The Azo is of los tons and was built
at Poplar in 1877. She carries the
same armament as the Arete and the
Rayo. with the exception that she
/ has one less three FOUNDER quick fir
| ing gun. She has engines of 1000
horse power, and her speed is 81 knots
an hour. Her bunker capacity affords
| space for % tons of coal.

MALLORY LINE WAS OUT.
lAylrt
Reasons Why 1t Was Not Advised
Of Rate Advances.
The SAME AS THOSE OF LAST JUNE.
Time of The Houston POSTS Flyer
Over the Ray shore Has Been
Shortened.

With reference to what Traffic Manager
Bartholomew of tbs Mallory steamship line
had to say yesterday about an advance TO
be made in the New York Texas rate tariff
May 5, Mr.. c. w. Rein. traffic manager Of
the Southern Pacific Atlantic system, yes
terday said: THE class rates are the same
as those in effect the list OF June, 1897. The
reason the Mallory line representative was
not advised OF the matter is, presumably,
largely due TO the fact that his company
has discontinued their service between New
York and Galveston.
II may also tell you that the rates
northbound. as from Houston and Calves
ton to New York, will be advanced on May
0 to figures in effect in June. 1897, with
the exception OF number OF commodity
rates which have been cut out from the
fac, that they were so low that they could
not pay the war risk. AS general pro-
position, II is expected that the Morgan
line will assume the expense OF the war
risk out of the rates becoming effective
May and .. This line confidently expects
TO run its boats between New York and
New Orleans and may add that 1t Is my
opinion that Houston and Galveston rates
from and to the seaboard will not be ad-
vanced over figures which become effective
May and O. respectively. II will be my
utmost endeavor TO keep these rates in
effect and the differential relations of the
South Texas cities unchanged, so that they
may continue to do their regular business
undsturbed. One thing sure. the Morgan
line will run its boats and take care of its
patrons to the last extremity. But If it
should be forced to discontinue, rail line
connection has been arranged for and the
company will continue 10 receive and de-
liver Texas freight on Morgan line piers In
New York.
