NO ATTACK ON AMERICAN PORTS FEARED
BY THE GOVERNMENT.

BY THE GOVERNMENT.
washinrton. July 1.-THE Secretary Of War
has ordered the removal Of ali the submarine
rr,nes which now protect the harbors OF the
United States against the entry OF hostile ships
This action was decided upon at to-days Cao'
net meeting. For weeks past-n fact. almost
sncs the beginning OF hostilities-the War De-
partment has been delused with protests from
the commercial interests OF the country against
the continuance Of these mines, which operate
to the great detriment Of commerce. In certain
cases influences were brought to bear that Sc
cured an abatement OF the rules. but this only
Increased the dissatisfaction ia localities where
they were rigidly applied Practically II has
been impossible for shipping to enter or leave
any OF the harbors Of the United States for the
last two months between the hours OF sunset
and sunrise The decision Of the Cabinet to re-
move these mines now is one OF the most signal
manifestations Of the supreme confidence OF the
Government that United States ports are ex'
empt from an attack at the hands OF any hos
tile Power.
After thoroughly considering the subject u
has been decided by the engineers that the SAL
est and quickest means Of removing the mines -
BY exploding them. and orders TO do this have
been prepared for transmission to all the ens''
neer officers IN charge OF harbor de'ences
throughout the country.
The order Of removal. 1t Is said. Is TO apply 70
localities where the interests of commerce de-
mand It, In cases where 1t Is safe. an e1ort VIII
be made to remove the mines instead OF ex'
ploding them. Wherever there is any douo'
they will be exploded. The action OF the sea IN
some instances causes the dynamite In the iron
ellipsoidal vessels to ooze out through the screw
threads where the plug is inserted AMI unless
the greatest care is taken the removal OK inc
plug may cause explosion. 1t Will be SONS
days before the actual removing or exploding I"
the mines can be put in operation. and the que'
ton as to whether the interests OF comme1o
