JOE MEYER, :,%y If War Mast Come. Washington, D. C, Sept. 25— The frequent allusions to the fight ing strength of the United States by foreign newspapers aud officials in the event this couutry should become involved in war with Spain, part of some of the military men of Europe that Uncle Sam would suffer heavily at first, is getting to bea subject of general icterest among the higher government people here. If there is a war, the heavy fight ing, for a time, at least, will be oa the water, and it is the opinion of mapy naval experts that the torpedo part in the earlier engagements than the big telchivg battleships. The torpedo boats Uncle Sam bow owns, and others which are nearing completion, wil compare certainly supericr to any that Spain now bas in service.
