villa del Official del cuerpo de telegra-
Cos don Matias Balsera, lego hasta nos
otros un rumor que nos produjo impre'
sion tristisima.
Sc aseguraba que este inteligentisl-
mo Official de telegrafos, honra del
cnerpo 4 que pertenece y de Espana,
desalentado por no encontrar en- ei TO-
bierno la necesaria protection para el
desarroll6 de sus iiltimos inventos, mar
chaba al extranjero q buscarla.
Y ansiosos de saber 10 que en- rela-
cion con el asunto pudiera haber de
eierto. visitamos al sefior Balsera.
Las impresiones que sacamos de es-
ta vista & las que por falta de espa-
clio no conc edemos la extension que me-
recen, no pueden ser mas halaguefas.

No, senior; hasta ahora, bien que
4 costa de no pocos trabajos, he halla-
10 protecci6n del Gobierno, siquiera
no sea mas que la estrictamente nece-
saria.
Ahora voy q Madrid y de alli es cier
to Que marchare Londres; pero, des-
de luego, puede usted asegurar que este
,iaie no esta relacionado con mi IN
yento del torpedo dirigible desde tie
ira.

Influenza del fallecido ex-minlstro Sc

Aesplaza una tonelada, cuyo casco sc
construy6 bajo mi direction en- una
fundici6n de Madrid.
De Eebrero Mario del pr6ximo
ano Sc haran con este buque pruebas
definitivas en- Cartagena.

Els claro que mientras esas prue-
has no se hagan, Y no Sc conozca su
resultado, nada Sc puede enjuiciar con
respecto a 10 mas menos decidida que
sea Ia protection del Gobierno.

-Cobre las 10000 pesetas en- cuatro
plazos. pero ESQ no ha sido obstaculo
para mis- trabajos.

Este invento es una consecuencia
