The Brooklyn and Texas caused wild
havoc among the Spanish shore bat

continued until 10 o'clock, when the
Spanish fire ceased entirely and Ad-

Spaniards returned to some other guns
and sent twelve shells after the fleet.
But no one was injured. Throughout
the entire engagement no American

FROM SUNSET TO SUNRISE SHIPS
MUST KEEP OUT OF OUR PORTS.

How the Patrol Fleet Guard Mine Fields
and Keep Independent Merchantmen
From Running Recklessly About Over
Explosives-work For Naval Reserves.
With war and threats Of coast devas-
tation by the Spanish feet came the in
stitution of the harbor curfew. The en-
frances to all the important ports on
the Atlantic seaboard have been pro-
tected by the planting Of submarine
mines or torpedoes. These are for the
enemy. But meantime the enemy has
held aloof, and it is only our friends that
have given us trouble.
If the old fashioned contact mines
were in use, not a ship could safely en-
ter any one Of our harbors at any time.
But the big floating iron pots filled
with high explosives can be rendered
harmless They are all connected by Ca
bles with the shore. When current Of
electricity is turned into these cables,
the mines become active and are capable
Of doing all kinds of mischief, but when
the current is shut off they are dormant
and can be bumped about at will.
The ship masters and steamer captains
know this and take advantage of it. In
all the protected harbors they have been
giving the navy department. lot of
trouble. The captain of a merchant
man, no matter what his nationality,
Is apt to be an independent parsonage
and is prone to hold his own personal
business of higher importance than the
interests of international war. So he
scorns the new harbor regulations and
steams recklessly over the mine fields,
cutting mine cable here and another
one there with his churning screw.
For this reason the harbor defense
mosquito feet has been expanded to
large proportions and is just now very
busy. Admiral Erben has recently been
authorized to equip SO boats and enlist
5000 men. In New York harbor espe-
cially has the presence of larger feet
been needed. The merchant fleets Of the
world, which have been in the habit of
running into the harbor at any and all
times, are slow to learn that war is on
and that the marine curfew is an estab-
llsntu ldCt. OOIlC VI thOAi, COluihS IL
from China and other faroff ports, don t
know anything about the war; Others
know, but don't care. Among the latter
are the Yankee captains. They have
been the worst offenders. They are too
fond Of quoting Farragut and saying:
oh the torpedoes Go ahead ~
There has been too much damning the
torpedoes in New York harbor and the
patrol boats and shore batteries have
several times been forced to use solid
shot as an effective argument in protect
ing the mine fields.
There are score or more of these pa
troll boats in service now scouting about
inside of Sandy Hook. Some of them
are big private yachts which have been
transformed for the service and mount
single pound rapid fire rifles. Others
are mere harbor tugs with nothing more
formidable in the way of armament
than half dozen Springfield rifles in
the hands Of little squad Of naval re-
serves.
1t probably seems ridiculous to some
Of the passengers on big transatlantic
liners to be held up by a mite Of tug.
