beets because of the removal of tha Texas and Measachutetta from Key West On the contrary the purpose as made known in Washington is that the torpedo flotilla will continue its trip to Cuba and Porto Rico It was stated by one high in navel authority that ne steps had been taken toward intercepting this flotilla or warning it away There baa beea considerable conjecture in this line by navel officers but on the idea that if emergen ey was in feet near at hand it wonld be inexpedient to allow a large torpedo flotilla to rendezvous on this aide The feet that Rear Admiral Sieard haa retailing with him at Key West a formidable squadron is due to the - desire of the authorities to here n strong fleet there when the report of the eourt ef Inquiry is read and the result of the policy to be inaugurated by the president has made itself ap- parent It has been determined by tbe officials v continue tho sharp watch which has heen kept em the torpedo boat flotilla and should they attempt to naovo to Porte Rieo to make a vigorous pretest to Spain looking toward orders for their immediate return to tha Canaries and If Spain should nfuse to comply with thoee manifestations the
