bee has rendered a most important
service to our navy, and, indeed. to all
navies. He has not only deprived
SIMPSONS fleet of an apprehension of
an attack in the rear some dark night
by this vicious little boat, but he has
demonstrated that an auxiliary cruiser
is amply able to take care of herself
against a torpedo gunboat, showing
that the offensive power Of this craft
has been very much overrated.
The torpedo gunboat was an antried
quantity in naval warfare up to this
time. Swifter than torpedo boats, sea-
worthy and possessed of the armament
of which the torpedo boat is void, the
torpedo gunboat had been a terror in
imagination to all naval men. The
presence of such a Spanish gunboat, the
Temerario, in the river Plata, in the
pathway of the Oregon on her cruise
around South America, was for several
weeks a cause for great anxiety at the
Navy Department.
Now Captain Sigsbee has shown that
with an unarmored cruiser. armed with
only 5-inch guns, the torpedo gunboats
are not feared, at least not in daylight.
The Terror is of English build, hav-
ing been turned out at Clyde Bank in
1896. She is low-lying steel craft
with steel tunnels. is of 31O tons, 20
feet long, % feet beam and five feet
six inches draught. The boat IS filed
with engines and boilers her horse pow
er being 5000, capable of driving her
at a speed of 2S knots. While the or
binary torpedo boat carries only lit
tie one-pounder gun, the torpedo gun
boat is armed with a formidable bat
terry for a vessel of her size, consisting
of two 14-pounders, two six-pounders
and two one-pounder, all quick-hring
and having two 14-inch torpedo tubes

of an American cruiser from two Span

ticular enga cement was identified as
the same referred to by Captain Sigs-
bee.
1t is stated at the department that it
is the present intention to start. Com
modOre Watsonfs eastern squadron
from Santiago. This, however, is SUBJ
ject to Admiral SIMPSONS report upon
the condition of the vessels selected and
their needs in the matter of supplies and
equipment for the long voyage ahead
of them. If they need no more than
can be supplied from SIMPSONS fleet
they will start, according to orders,
from Santiago, but if further supplies
are needed, or if the vessels must be
cleaned first then they probably will
be sent north to Hampton Roads.
Meanwhile there is no mistaking the
earnestness of the Navy Department in
preparing this squadron for the Euro
pean service.
