it was believed that ser.ons work was about

ade a great outrage especially as they had
seen several OF their supply vessels sent back.

Fort Pickens, and says
..Tiere Is a difference among military men
and civilians too as 10 the policy OF an at
tack upon Pickens. even with the certainty
Of lis reduction. The reason for an attack is
that the United States flag insults while il
flies over a soil declared TO be independent
Of the government il emblems. and that hon
or demand, It should be expelled at every
cost. This is true. but il is also true that it
Is no more insulting 10 day than It was two
