WHITE SQUADRON FAILS.
the Enemy's Fleet off the New
England Coast.

Naval Manouvcrs End in the Capture OF
the Eneny's Fleet off the New
England Coast.
Rockport, Mass, Aug. 25.-The
naval search problem on the New Eng
land coast was terminated at $40
yesterday morning by the signal "sur-
render; demand and unconditional"
from Rear Admiral Higginson's flag
ship, and the reply Accept surren-
der" from the fore truck of the Prairie,
Commander Pillsbury's flagship. The
battle between the blue, or defending
squadron, and the white or attacking
squadron was thus quickly ended. The
white squadron was trying to make
Salem.
The destruction (theoreticaD of
Pillsbury's squadron occurred at n
point just within the outer limit of
Gloucester harbor.
Commander Pillsbury was asked re-
garding his movements, and said that
when he left Provincetown last Tues
day his fleet steamed directly to sea,
running off some 400 miles about
southeast Of Cape Cod. His plan was
to lay off there until Saturday night
and then try for Salem harbor. Com
ing on the coast Saturday night he had
first thought of making feint with
one of his ships in the direction of
Portland, hoping to draw off Admiral
Higginson and the big ships of his
command in that direction, but as a
heavy sea was running and as his
ships were slow of speed and their
bottoms foul, he decided not to do this
and made his run direct for Salem
harbor.
The only ship of Admiral Higgin-
sons fleet he saw during the entire
period was the torpedo boat Barney,
which he sighted just about the same
time he found he was discovered by
the remainder of the fleet.
