Protection for the Maine Coast.

Senator Hale says that double patrol of
warships will be established by the govern
ment along the Maine coast. The outer
patrol will consist of great ships like the
Minneapolis and the Columbia, already on
the coast. The inner patrol will consist of
smaller vessels that will sail about nearer
the coast in the vicinity of Bar Harbor,
Eastport, Western Bay, the mouth of the
Penobse OF river, the mouth of the Kennebec
river and other exposed points. These
smaller vessels will be purchased and fitted
out as soon as possible. Some of them are
now nearly ready for the service intended
of them. This double patrol will protect
the Maine coast and Maine towns from the
ravages of any Spanish feet that may sud
denly heave in sight in that region.
