SPAIN GETS CLAIM
FROM SHIP BUILDERS
(special to The Times Dispatch

Special to The Times Dispatch.)
EDINBURGH, February l9-The High,
Court to-day awarded the Sjanish Gov
eminent $4,000 damages against the
clydebank Shipbuilding and Engineering
Company for failing to deliver four tor
pedo boat destroyers on time. These
boats should have been delivered before
the outbreak of the Spanlsh-American
war and the Spanish Government al
legged that the failure to furnish the boats
was a serious disadvantage to 1t in the
naval battles.
The Judge. Lord Kyllachy. said it was
probable that If the Spanish Govern
ment had, in the spring of 1897, been In
position to establish really effective
blockade of tho coast of Cuba against
the unloading Of munitions of war, the
insurrecton might have been crushed and
American intervention avoided. He
thought that Spain's claim of R6O0 per
week for the 1876 weeks delay in the de-
livery Of the boats was not exorbitant.
