(Received January 25, 1 a.m.) LONDON, January 24. Major. Archer-Shoe, m a letter to tho newspapers, referring to tho Prometheus and tho Torch, declares that the whole fault lies with the present Government. During their years of office they had not built a single ship to take the places of tho small cruisers on the Capo, East Indies, Australian, or Pacific stations.
