British Torpedo Vessels Weak.

NEW YORK, oct. PA cable to the
journal from Portsmouth. England,
says: Six Of the eight torpedo boat
destroyers which were sent on a cruise
with the reserve squadron have been
disabled during the past fortnight. The
mishaps have aroused much adverse
criticism of the construction of these
boats, and they are referred to AZ a
"tin-pot" fleet. The remarkable state
ment has been made that OF the entire
destroyer fleet thirty per cent are COM
PEELED to lay up for repairs after every
cruise. even when the cruise is made in
the fairest Of weather.
beginning with the Cobra, which
sank with heavy loss of life, several of
the destroyers have buckled, and but
for the fact that they reached port soon
after the accident happened. more lives
would doubtless have been lost. Now,
TO ap'the climax. comes the report OF
the disabling OF most OF the destroyers
in the recent cruise. That these mis-
haps will cause an Admiralty scandal
Is expected.
