WASHINGTON. Mach 1!>.—The president deej net expert anything in the nature i f u preliminary report from the i curt of Inquiry into the can of the Maine disaster. On (lie e m trary, liis expectation Is that the report when I conus will be compute In all respects, ultbongh, following Hie usual course, It Is within the power of the secretary of the navy to order the body to continue l;s Investigation along certain litis should he believe furher information Is dealtnble. No official notice of the stoppage of the Spanish torpedo boat flotilla at the Canary Islands, and their turning hack from that point, has reached our government as yet, so that any hh rtiniptlon that the movements of that flotilla have Influenced the navy de paitment to withdraw the ileet at Key West Is said to he without basis of fact. The navy department In no man ner hiii suspended Its efforts to ob tain possession of desirable warships abri id and In no dlncilnn Is tb 'e vbdblc liny relaxation of the steadily pursued purpose of the navy and war department* to provide for the d fens,, of Hie country against hostile attack. The formation of the now equr.d on at Hampton Hinds Is In It self one of the latest manifestation of iictlvlly in this direction, being the outcome ef th" dc'lber-'i'r* of the strategy board, which Inis he.n sitting almost daily at tin- navy department for some time past. Another conclusion of the hoard, which ll Is desired to put In force as form ns possible. Is Hint the navy mu i lie iTinrrm-i ii Iiy a numl or or tor pedo I it destroyers, and not torpedo boats. Thr.se are vessels of about lido ton- displacement, arid able to k p the sea almost as well as a cruiser. Wiih the enormous speed of thirty knots per hour, and an offensive arm ament of quirk firing guns equal lo the aveiagc gunhoat, It Is said that the power of such craft Is certainly very great and perhaps that may prove to he the Ideal naval craft. One distin guished naval officer, an expert *n ord nance matters, expressed th° opinion today that two sueh torpedo boat de stroyers might annihilate the bigg, st battleship In the world, If they stood ready to run (lie risk of being sunk themselves. All that would be ion - wary for them lo do, he said, would be to hold the battleship In sight during the daylight hours, which they could do easily, owing to their superior speed, and when darknens had coni' to attack the battleship :—', oppo site directions siinultan ously at full speed with torpedoes. Such considerations as these have influenced the policy of the hoard to recommend the procurement of as many of these boats as possible, and as soon as possible, fto far the* de partment has been unable to buy any abroad, and while four torpedo host* of the largi r class of thirty knots speed, almost equal to the Destroyer type, arc building In this country, they cannot lie completed for many months to come. The representative of one of tlv largest English torpedo boat firms now In Washington criticised our gov ernment today as having been too narrow minded In allotting money fur sueh boats. Senior Hawley of Connecticut called at the navy and war depart ments this morning with Thomas K. Rowland, whom he introduced to ihe officials as the builder of tin first mi nitor cn the Ericsson plan. He re called the fact that tie vessel was an experimental one, and he had to ov r eome the opposition of the naval offi cials, owing to the radical departure from established Ideas. The war department ha i mad" an other allotment for the engineering branch of the service. This consist ed of OT.'i.unn, and wa ■. charged attains: the special appropriation of $."0,000,000 made las' week. I' was stated at the department that ’h" money would lie exp'jpicd In carrying on' nio plans mr tne tot; ut< at ion or the road already perffclrd. uni! an - ! noiin'eii in the luh' unnuid re part of | the chief of engincrs No new fortl i lleatlon will lie ehtal/lisli d from this appropriation. i Steps have hern titkin hv the engi neer's oliii.' fi r the exp nditure of the . s.'i Dofi iiiHi originally idlotted out of the $.ali.O(Mt.tgM> defense fund for the ml tlinmtloe of the Imprnvemen' of va rious works of fortlfli aliens I'ru t| rttlly till of It will he dev (ted to ihe Atlantic and titllf roasts While the | expenditure will le* under the gen.rul stipervislon of the engineer's I'flle- at W ishlngtott the ilet til. i inti" <il therewith.

As far as I can see, this is the only ques'lon in dispute between the farmers and ourselves. They want us to accept an -’ beets tiler see fit to supply ns with whether thev cun lie manufactured Into sugar i profitably or not. The principle, if we are to yield to it. would mean the closing of both our factories In a short time, It seems absurd to me to hear people who know nothing about the rentilrenientx of the Indus try, attempting to tell us what we should do. These people cannot con vince ns against facfs which we know, and all the talk which I have seen in the newspapers for the last month or two. convinces me In my belief that "a little knowledge is a .id tlid"'.
