GLIMPSE OF THE FOE
Higginson's Squadron Puts
Out to Sea.
Piilsbury Expected 10 Make His Runin Toward
Land Off Either Portsmouth or
York Harbars.
(By the Associated Press.)


Rockport, Mass, Aug 23.--The line of
battleships of Admiral Higginsons feet
which are defending a lengthy strip OF
New England coast from a foreign feet
tonight, indicating that some news has
been received of Commander Pillsbury.
The weather conditions at ten o'clock
were slightly in favor of the enemy, the
sky being overcast and an easterly blow
prevailing.
At ten o'clock tonight the cruiser Olym-
pia was inside the islands, the Brooklyn
was cruising to seward, off there and
The Decatur was patrolling Portsmouth
harbor.
With Admiral Higginson's battleships
bound northward it would appear that
Commander Pillsbury is expected to make
his run in towards land tonight off
either Portsmouth or York harbors.
This afternoon it was understood that
one of Commander Pillsbury's cruisers
had been reported off Rockland, Maine.
This is a long distance beyond the north
erly limit of the blockade line, but it
was suggested that either the enemy was
making a feint to draw preponderance
of fighting strength Of Admiral Higgin-
sons fleet to Portland so that a quick
counter dash could be made into Massa-
chusetts Bay or else Commander Pills
bury desired information as to the block
ade conditions.
Suspicious signals at Cape Porpoise on
the Isles of Shoals and even here at
Rockport indicate that the blockade ran
ming plan has not been entirely drawn up
at sea.
A signalman of the Blue Squadron at
II O'Clock tonight reports to the naval
base officers that he sighted three large
vessels going to the northward at
fourteen-knott clip, but they were too far
eff shore for him to identify them.
Soon after II two torpedo boats APP
peared off here and it is learned that
they were detached from the battleships
and ordered back to patrol in this neigh
borhood
Tho return of the torpedo boats did
not surprise those who are keeping close
watch on the situation here. Something
appeared to have gone wrong with the
line of communication during the even
ing, rather perplexing the naval intelli-
gence officers. The wires at several
points are reported crossed or cut, and
some messages received were rather
mixed.
An extraordinary effort was being made
at late hour to determine If the breaks
along the line were from natural causes
or are the result of the enemy's plans.
In view of what has happened in the
control station here, there is now some
wonderment if Admiral Higginson will
find the White Squadron at the north end
of his line.

THE PEANUT TRUST.
Looks as If 1t Would Try to Control The
Worlds Trade.
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Norfolk, a., Aug. 23.-More represen-
tatives of the expected peanut trust are
here, and some have left for Petersburg,
Franklin and other points to examine
into the cleaners plants before the con-
solidation.
Apparently their plans are blocked be-
cause the cleaners have not secured con-
troll of this years crop, but a desperate
fight will be made to control the next
crop. There are seventeen plants in the
State which the combine will probably
take in and these handle large part of
the trade Of the world. The consolida-
ton will displace about two-thirds OF the
large travelling force of statesmen.
The organization of the trust means 1T
will control the trade of the world, but
this year it fears the Independent clean
ing plants as they have a goodly share
of this years product to work on, and
would be dangerous rivals.
