FOREIGN WAR FLEET SEEN
COMING TO AMERICAN COAST
Captain of Russian Freighter
Reports Sighting Cruisers
and Destroyers Passing
His Ship Off Cape Sable,
N. S. Bound Southwest.

Boston, Oct. ia fleet OF foreign
cruisers and destroyers is off the
American coast, according to Captain
Linderoos Of the Russian steamship
Hesperus, which arrived here today
from Huelva, Spain. To the pilot who
boarded, his vessel, Captain Linderoos
reported that "a lot of cruisers and
destroycrs'' passed mis- vessel off Cape
Sable. NJ s., on Wednesday, heading
southwest At their rate of speed, he
said, they must be off the coast by now
The Hesperus' captain had not heard
of the German submarines raid on
Sunday as there is no wireless equip
ment on his ship.
His report was coupled today with
that of pilots who were. in Massachu-
sets bay yesterday that three torpedo
boot destroyers cruised off this coast
all day One pilot said he thought
they were British vessel. Another SAID
they were American. Ashore, 1t was
believed they were American destroy
ers on patrol duty.
Belief that they were British de-
stroyers was held by many waterfront
authorities who connected their ap-
pearance with the fact that 1t was
only yesterday that British vessels at
this port moved out, after being held
since the submarine raid off Nantucket
Sunday. The British destroyers, they
commended, came here to act as con-
vows for ships of that nationality.
Three British steamers went out
asst night and today the Lord Crom-
or and Marengo prepared to sail.
The Kansan Of the American-Ha-
vaiian Line, under charter to the
France and Canada Steamship COM
PAW. and laden with war munitions
and horses for the allies, was eX-
pected also to sail today for st. Ma
zaire France, and Genoa.
The Kansan was the first steamship
to encounter the U-boat last Sunday
but was allowed to proceed after ex-
animation of her papers.

of the British and French governments
to the American protests against, in

all that though President Wilson was
of an opposite political faith, he was
still the chief executive of the United

The seaward dash of eleven de-

aroused much speculation. At least
one other United States destroyer is
known to have been on guard outside
New York since the German sub

destroyers ranged from reported
discovery of foreign submarine base
to rumor that a liner had been
driven into Bar Harbor by a German
submarine stationed off Rockland,
