DANG ER TO NEW ENGLAND COAST.
Credence Given RumOrs by CharlestOwn
 Navy Yard Officials.

NaNy ohittuiss
 Boston, May 13.-Officials of high rank at the Charlestown navy yard place considerable credence in the ru- mors that part at least of the enemy s fleet is not far distant from this coast. Their suspicious were strengthened by the fact that the United States cruiser Columbia and the ram Katahdin hur- riedly left this port under sealed orders and that the cruiser San Francisco will leave at once. The auxiliary cruiser Yankee joined the Columbia off Cape Cod and went to sea.
 New York, May 13-Urgent orders re- ceived from the war department within the last twenty-four hours require the commanders of the signal towers on Long Island to keep their men con- stantly on watch for signals from the patrol fleet. The life-saving crews are also patrolling the coast.
