This wa demonstrated during the naval review at Hampton Road a few year ago. Nearly every Important navy In the world wa represented there and thousand of Americana Journeyed to the mouth of the Potomac to witness the brave light Among the men-of-war anchored off Fortree Mon roe were the British cruiser Blake, th French Jean Bart and a Russian ship of similar tonnage and gun. A party of vis. Itor desiring to look over these vessels wr "vlsed that they would be welcomed ai any nme axter to o ciocg in tne morning.

An officer stood at the ran aressea in a unirorm which looked a though It had been In service fnf a decade. Grease spot and'dhat were Its conspicuous feature.

The visitor were greeted cordially and war ushered (nto the wardroom; There we discovered scene of disorder which astonished the few American cWcer In the party. Plrty linen waa carelessly thrown upon the "transom while several pairs of shoes were scattered over the floor. . On the dlnlneroom fable were: a half dosen tea cup Containing the cold dreg of tp.e Russian' favorite bever age and aa many liquor glasses contained small quantities of cordials.

Tender uch I circumstances It I hot a cause of Srondef I that th Japanea navy haa already ahown Ita uper1ortty over that of the ear. On tha other hand It la expected by every American officer who haa aeen service In th far east that tha success at Fort Arthur snd Chemutpo will be repeated whenever th two nation com together In the sea clash, because Jspaa haa learned th value of discipline and her "Jacklea" are a n- thuetastio m alacrity and obedience aa their officer are effective in executive ability and of discipline and her "jackles" ar aa en- seamanship. Dest raetlveaess of th Torpedo. Japan haa profound faith In th efficiency of th torpedoboat to deliver a blow and get away under cover of th darkness. In fact torpodpboat rushes seem to be Japan's naval specialty. The great victory won by the little Japanese boata at Port Arthur thla week la a repetition of the triumph of the mikado's torpedoboats at Wei Hal Wei but nine year ago February 8 and 8, 15, will be remembered forever In Japan' his tory, for on those night Japan' most skillful naval officer mad sallies against th Chinese fleet in Wei Hal Wei harbor I - .

There are many naval authorities, not only In this country, but abroad, who doubt ths efficiency of the torpedoboat In tlm of war, but th per formance of these "little devils" during the past week have shaken preconceived no tions most mightily. But to tell the story of the capture of Wei Hal Wei. Calaa Felt It First.

The torpedoboat squadron might reach It when battleship could not' Japanes gun boats begun firing on the Island fortifica tions in th early morning of February I, and under cover of this fir two Japanes flotillas crept through th entrance to th harbor.
