Now that alt our finished torpedo boats aro in commission, several more arc almost teady to go to sea. three hao 'been purchased abroad unci a number of fast yachts have been converted Into torpedo boat destroyers. Ameri can naval officers say we have little to fear fiom Spanish torpedo boats. Everything considered, the American torpedo licet Is today superior to tho Spanish, If the war is to bo conducted In American waters only. Tho torpjedo boat Js limited in its range of action. AA'hllo the new tor pedo boat9 ato seagoing craft, their uaefullness In the open sea Is small. Only nn officer of great daring would volunteer to take the finest torpedo boat on the sens across the Atlantic un accompanied by a cruiser or seagoing battleship. Even when in company with large vessold torpedo craft hao rough times in the open sea. None but those of the lafest type have sufficient coal capacity for a Journey across the Atlantic, and a fow days of loligh weather would piobubly leae even these In mldocean without a lump of coal In their bunkers.
