NAVAL COAST PATROL
FORTY ARMED SHIPS GUARDING At
LANTIC AND GULF CITIES.
An Outer Picket Line of Formidable
Cruisers Scouting the Ocean for
Signs of Spaniards.

WASHINGTON. June 16.-The Navy De-
partment has now completed its arrange
ment of the Atlantic and gulf coast patrol,
and stretching from Eastport, Me-, around
to New Orleans. there are no less than forty
auxiliary naval craft. including swift
yachts, reconstructed single-turret monitors
of the civil war. tug boats, ferry boats. and
not few large and well-armed merchant
men. These forty ships are disposed at the
several large coast and gulf cities. while
hundred miles or more seaward. an outer
picket line is maintained by four of the
larger and more effective war ships of the
San Francisco class. One of these outer
pickets is maintained as far north as Nova
Scotia. and the southerly picket is off the
eastern coast of northern Georgia. The
largest number of defense vessels is at New
York city, the commerce requiring protec-
ton being greatest at that point Boston,
Charleston and all other coast points have
their share of the auxiliary craft. making as
a whole a naval patrol considered adequate
for any emergency in protecting our East
ern and Southern coast line. The Navy De-
partment has prepared a map. with little
blue flags showing the location of each of
the auxiliary ships. The flags are closely
punched all along the Eastern and Southern
shores, and give a ready answer to public
men anxious to have their local coast line
protected
Along with the organization of this coast
patrol, the Navy Department has been max
ing large number of naval enlistments for
this special service under the general au-
thority of the joint resolution of Congress,
which provides for the enlistment of a
sufflcient naval force TO properly defend
coast points. The men thus far enlisted
have been o. oXCeDtiOnallX grade.
The enlisting officers have found also that
while the men are TECHNICALLY enlisted for
barber defense service. they are willing and
even anxious to get into more active service
on the fighting ships around Cuba. This
feeling among the new men has been so
noticeable that II has convinced the de-
partment large and valuable reserve force
is being gathered together on the harbor
defense patrol. While maintaining this
patrol the naval recruits have the advantage
of frequent drills and are fast brought to
high efficiency as sailors. With this train
ing they will be speedily available for the
fighting squadron whenever there are drafts
from those quarters.
