SPANS Flotilla Sails,

Washington, D. C.-Spain's action in
starting her torpedo flotilla on its way from
the Canaries to Porto Rico is regarded here
as limiting more directly at a possible
severance of friendly relations with this
country than any other step taken by either
nation since the destruction of the Maine.
AS is well known, the Spanish fotilla, GER
tainly the most formidable which has vet
been collected for active service, left Cadiz
for Porto Rico more than two weeks ago.;
but by subsequent orders from MADRID was
detained at the Canaries, its first stopping
point for coal and supplies.
