Out in the bay four United States
torpedo boat destroyers are at anchor
ready to act on orders from the navy
department. Mare Island navy yard
was beehive of activity and repairs
were being rushed on all vessels in
dock there to the end that they may
be put into service quickly should they
be needed by the government.
FORTS CLOSED TO VISITORS.
The four forts which guard the en-
trance to the Golden Gate-forts Barry.
Miley, Baker and Winfield Scott-were
closed to visitors this afternoon and
an especially close watch was main
tanned on the points where the big
disappearing guns are located. Sim
ultaneously special guard was
thrown around the big government ar
senal at Benicia, 20 miles up the bay
from San Francisco. The headquar-
ters in this city OF Major General J..
Franklin Bell, commanding the west
ern department Of the army, remained
open until late hour tonight.
Cots have been installed there for
officers and clerks so that should an
army crisis come, 1t will not be nee
essary for the men in charge Of move
ments of troops to leave their quar-
ters. 1t was declared tonight by an
officer close to General Bell that no
orders Of any kind bearing on the

Meanwhile the United States revenue

lector of the Port Davis to watch the
four German ships interned in the
bay, the Scraps, Ottawa, Neptune and
Atlas. to see that no attempt is made
by their crews to escape with the
ships through the Golden Gate. In ad-
dition heavy United States guards
were also maintained on all these
ships.
One noticeable effect Of the break
ing of diplomatic relations with Ger
many has been the rush Of German
and Austrian citizens to take out first
citizenship papers. Nearly 100 such
applications reached the United States
district court today.
