OUR TORPEDO FLEET.
SIX CRACK LITTLE WARBOATS WITH
A LONG CRUISE AHEAD.
Winter Maneuvers Will Work Them Grad
ually Southward Details of the Cruise.
Probable Purpose of Uncle Sain Officers
Claim They Are Merely at Practice.
The strangest fleet which ever sailed
in the waters of tho Atlantic is the
American torpedo flotilla now cruising
and ready for the order south iu pursuance-
of the department's plau for the
winter maneuvering.
It seems as if it were only a year or
two ago that the United States had a
toipedo fleet consisting of the old ram
Ahum "Porter's Folly" and the
woodou Stiletto. And even after our
white squadron had become famous
the almost 'indispensable torpedo boats
were urt provided.
Uncle Sam has, however, "come to
his senses. " Six splendid torpedo boats
aro now ready for service the Gushing,
Ericsson, Porter, Fcote, Dupont and
Rodgers. Two more are nearly complet
ed tho Wiuslow and Rowan. Six more
are half finished the Davis, Fox, Tal
bot, Gwin, Mackenzie and the subma
rine boat Plunger and work has been
commenced upon tho Dahlgren, Craven,
Farragut, Morris and McKee.
Nineteen boats of the highest speed
and greatest eflicisncy are therefore
assured us, with a promise of many
more to follow, and, since torpedo boat
work requires special training, the navy
department is making haste to prepare
a force of officers and men for the work
of manning the "mosquito fleet " The
first flotilla has Lcvn designated as fol
lows: Gushing, Lieutenant A. Gleaves
commanding; Ericsson, Lieutenant N.
fL Usher commanding; Porter, Lieu
tenant John C. Fremont commanding;
Focte, Lieutenant W. L. Rodgers com
manding; Dupont, Lieutenant S. S.
Wood commanding, and Rodgers (unas
signed, probably flagship). Lieutenant
W. W. Kimball will act as admiral of
the miniature fleet.
The coml,;uatiou of great manes in
the fleet will strike the least observing.
Gushing, Gleaves, Porter, Foote, Usher,
Rodgers, Dupont and Wood are all
names famous in naval annals. There
has been srareely ever put together such
a combination of swift, resistless ma
chinery aud brains, good American
blood and scientific knowledge. Lieu
tenant Kimball is an expert in ordnance
gunnery aud torpedo work, and the gov
ernment's confidence iu his ability is
shown by virtually making him an ad
miral, with powers given few admirals
of squadrons.
Leaving New York not in summer,
observe,-but iu the season of ccol weath
er add brisk gales -the long, narrow,
.grceuishwgray. fliers dash out into bluo
water and disappear. Where they will
next be seen is uncertain. No life in
surance company would care to insure
the lives of tho hardy sailors. If no ac
cident happens, they will reappear at
Cape May, Hampton Roads, Charles
ton, Havannah or Key West. Lieutenant
Kimball can take his fleet wherever he
pleases provided ho goes steadily south
ward, and the tactics of a flotilla in
wartime arc likely to be practiced.
When winter conies, tho flotilla will
be in the gulf of Mexico, conveniently
close to Havana at just about the time
when Weyler may "hear somethin
drap." Tho north Atlantic squadron
may also find it convenient to go to
warmer latitudes at about that season,
and if the flotilla happened to meet the
squadron n one would be surprised
and Spain would have no just cause for
complaint. The programme of the cruise
also includes a trip up the Mississippi,
to give the 12,000,000 people in tho
valley a chs ace to see war vessels, and
a return voyage to Hampton Roads next
spring.
All this may bo for "practice," and
again it may not. Time alone will telL
With the tariff out of the way, an exec
utive with backbone and a congress im
bued with sturdy Americanism sitting,
any number of things may happen next
winter, and as the old warfime rebel
used to say, "Victory goes to them as
gits the mostest thar fustest." New
York Press.
A Despised Doc Law.
So unpopular at Hagerstowu, Md.,
is the dog law, under which 125 ani
mals havo been impounded, that the
people have determined to try ridicule
as a means to bring about its abroga
tion. They purpose to erect a tablet to
tho dogs' memory and place on it the
names of the mayor and the councilors
who favor tho law and figures of a
mastiff rescuing a child mid an ordinary
dog that ha just blown out tho gas and
died.
