ATLANTIC COAST PATROL
A Small, Swift Fleet Will Act
as Ocean Scouts.
THE MISSISSIPPI TO BE MINED
Sufficient Explosives VIII BE Placed
to Insure Protection to the Jettjes
From Spanish Nesseis-The Entire
Atlantic Coast Divided Into Dis
tricts-Great Activity Every where.

New York, April 12.-The board of aux
iliary cruisers lost another member today.
Lieut.. Commander Reeder was detached
and ordered to take command of the fleet
that is to be detailed to patrol the fourth
district of the Atlantic Coast.
Some time ago the naval board of
strategy recommended to1the Secretary of
the Navy that the entire Atlantic Coast
be divided into districts, and that feet
composed of small, fast vessels, to be used
as scout boats, be acquired to patrol each
district The idea of this was that should
hostile warship steam up on the coast,
she would surely be sighted by one of
these scout boats. and her presence would
be reported at once
The Secretary of the Navy approved of
the plan and Commander Elmer was de-
tailed to district the coast and recon-
mend the vessels that should make up the
patrol fleet. The names of the vessels he
has recommend for this service have
not been made public.
The boundaries as announced are: The
first district includes the New England
coast as far south as Newport. The Sc
cond district extends from Newport to
Barnegat; the third from Barnegat to
Cape Henlopen, thefourth from Cape Hen
lopen to Cape Hatteras, the fifth from
Cape Hatteras to Key West and the sixth
includes the Gulf Coast.
The commandants of the districts thus
far designated are:
Lieut. Commander W. L. Field, to the
second district; Lieut.. Commander
Charles F. Forse. to the third; Lieut..
Commander Reeder TO tne fourth.
According to the present plan the naval
militia of the different States viii man
the boats that are to guard the coast.
Supplies for the Fleet.
Tampa Fla. April 12.-The steamer
Mascotte, which. for number of days
has been here loading supplies and am
munition for the feet at Key West and
TortugaS, and guns for the forts at those
places, sailed at 8 o'clock last night,
carrying besides her regular general
cargo a number of newspaper cores
pondents and artists.
Supplies continue to arrive here every
day consigned to the fleet, and the trf-
weekly service between Tampa and Key
West by the Plant system, which will
be started this week, viii be severely
taxed to carry the large amount of
freight now being shipped from this point
by the Government.
Sea Terrors I'm Commission.
New York, April 12.-The torpedo boats
Scorpion and Wasp were placed in dry
dock at the navy yard last night, and
today the work of putting 7-S-inch armor
plating on their sides was begun. The
Yankee and the Prairie, recently pur
chased from the Morgan Line, will prob
ably be prepared to go into commission
as auxiliary cruisers without being put
in dry dock The Hornet with Lieut..
Helm in command, went into commission
today. and it was announced by Com
mander Bunce that she would sail at
once for Newport,

ceola and Sioux win be ready to leave
for the South early tomorrow morning.

To Relieve the Refugees.

Mr.. Penrose yesterday offered a joint
resolution in the Senate authorizing a sum
not TO exceed 5000 to be expended out of
the S50OO0 appropriated for the relief of
the destitute and suffering American citi-
zens in Cuba, for the relief of such citi-
zens as have come to this country during
the last few weeks.
Mr.. Penrose stated that the citizens of
Tampa. Fla, were doing all in their power
to provide for such people in that city.

relief was necessary.

The report that Speaker Reed had de-

1t is very evident that the situation is
not changed much by the message. 1t is
certainly not settled either for or against
war. Congress may stay with the Execu-
tive in the peaceful way that he has
chosen. The forces against action may
be too strong. They have certainly been
potent in the past. The general sentiment
is, perhaps, that there will be deter
mined stand by Congress, but the Wall
Street sentiment is not so hopeful. Wall
Street is more pessimistic on any propo-
sition and, more than that. it has had
good information on the Cuban question
all the way through. 1t is, perhaps, a
very good general proposition that the
market is not likely to go down very far
under any circumstances, war or peace.
The people who wished to Hquidate have
gotten rid of their stocks and there is
very little in the market.
The times., 1898-04-13

The stock market had no movement in
particular yesterday and closed at prices
very near the opening. The meaning of
the deafness is very apparent. The street
is not believer in the war at present
and yet realizes that there is enough
chance for it on ''fuke" to make buying
too risky for careful spectators. There
is some little short selling and the people
who are doing so may be sorry for it some
day soon.

Tobacco had remarkable boom yes
terday, partly on real conditions appar
entity, and partly as the result of a pool
that has been most persistent in the last
month and most successful During the
entire Cuban scare since it attained to
it's most acute stage the stock has been
going up. The move yesterday was sew
eral points and landed She stock within
a fraction of no. 1t is said that the
war the trust has been waging on the
plug tobacco question has been settled.
There is also the belief that the earnings
of the company have been good during
the last two months. l am inclined to
think the move has reached it's culmina-
ton. and that hereafter for while the
stock will be more in harmony with the
remainder of the market.
