MAY PASS THE MINES AT NIGHT.
Capt. Gillette MOdifes the Harbor
Regulations.

Regulations.
Capt c. e. Gillette has issued an order
modifying the regulations for the pass
ing of the mines in the Savannah river, so
as to permit vessels TO pass through the
mined channels at night.
The regulation, which has been in force
since the mines We're put down prohibiting
vessels from entering or leaving the river
between o'clock p. m. and 4 O'Clock a. m,
practically barred the navigation of the
river az night. The regulation interfered
considerably with the arrival and depar-
ture Of coastwise vessels. The companies
liza not protest, however, as the mines and
the rules governing their use We're consid-
cradle a part of the protection of the har-
Dor. Recently the war department directed
the engineers in charge of the harbors in
which the mines were located to remove
them or modify the regulations concerning
them in their discretion, and as the in
terests of commerce demanded.
