iTls FORMIDABLE FLEET.
spanish Torpedo Fiotiila WIN BE = Menace
to wArships at Key West.

Key West, Fla. March 26.--It was
not until yesterday that the news of
the departure OF the Spanish torpedo
iotilla from the Canary Islands be-
came known among the naval officers
here. 1t created intense feeling. espe-
cially among the officers Of the tor
pedo boats which are In this harbor.
One OF the most prominent of these
officials said to-day: .'Tf the United
States allows the Spanish boats to get
to Porto Rico II will be the biggest
mistake ever made. They are great
er menace to the safety of our fleet
than IL 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 Span
ish torpedo boat destroyers. The Iowa,
New York and Indiana, lying out there
six miles OF the land. would practic-
ally be at the mercy of say a dozen
Spanish torpedo boats which could
run over from Porto Rico In short
time, should war be declared. We
have protected harbors here and We
have not single torpedo destroyer,
and unless feet powerful enough to
be proof against these torpedo boats is
quickly concentrated in these waters.
or unless the Spanish fiotilla Is warned
10 keep further away, / should Judge
that II would be better to take every
United States warship as far away as
possible from this menaclng force
which Spain intends to concentrate
within such a convenient distance ms
Porto Rico"

Washington, March 27.-Presidcnt
Mckinley talked freely with his con
gressional visitors yesterday. both In
regard to his plans for the future and
his appreciation OF the situation with
reference to Cuba. His program, ;is
thus outlined. is as follows:
To send the report OF the Maine

day. without recommendation and
without explanation on his part. fur
ther than to say that he has acquaint.
ed Spain with the finding Of the court.
To follow this, Tuesday or wednes-
day, with message dealing with the
condition of the non-combatants In
Cuba, and asking for an appropriation
of Soo0.ooo for their Immediate relief.
To present anew this condition to
Spain, asking that country to make
provision for the care of her own help
less people and to come TO some terms
with the Cubans which will be salts
factory TO them and put an end to the
war
This failing. to forcIbly intervene ON
Humanitarian grounds.
The President Indicated TO his callers
an abiding faith that peace still may
be preserved. and n determination on
his part TO accomplish that end II u
may be done with honor to our own
country and without dssrcgardlng the
demands OF humanity. He frankly and
repeatedly avowed to-day his desire TO
prevent n conflict, while at the same
time indicating firm purpose to Sc
cure relief for the starving reconcen-
trAdoes.
Ineeed. i.s latter purpose appeared
TO be the topic uppermost In the Presi-
dents mind. He dwelt upon the
fnct that the recognition OF belllgereui
