,ion To the insurgents.

the results Of his trip and not dis
heartencd as has been reported. He
landed arms for the insurgents and in
the engagement with the Spaniards
killed some Of their men without losing
a single soldier. His return to Key
West and to Tampa is in accordance
with prearranged plans. He alsc
needed certain supplies and the Gus

CAN'T SPARE THEM.
New England Coast Needs
Plenty Of Protection.
Even Though Senator Gray Wants
Ships Sent to South.
Saws There's No Danger. But He Doesn't lo-
cate Spanish Fleet.

Washington, May Ex-senator Gray
and other influential men have maze
strong protests against the cruiser
Columbia and other fine warships beng
kept on the New England coast when
the enemy's ships are in Southern
waters. Senator Gray had business
with the President, today and called
his attention to the matter.
1T is stated that these ships are kept
on the New England coast to allay ap-
prehension," said Senator Gray. We'll,
that is all foolishness. Here these
ships are kept on this coast when there
is not particle of danger while the
Spanish squadron is not far from
Southern shores.
Il do not believe anybody has an
idea that the Spanish fleet would at
tempt to sail 5000 or 1000 miles from its
present position to attack the New
England coast and be without a base
of supplies when it got there.
while our ships remain on the New
England coast, the Southern coast
much nearer to the Spanish, is un
protected SO is the coast of the mid
die Atlantic states. Our ships should
be with one or the other squadrons. ="
1t is said that several New England
senators take the same ground as
Senator Gray.
