Representative D. w. Goss of this city has been directed by the house military affairs committee of which he is . member to report favorably to the house the bill instructing the federal government to turn over to the state of Connecticut the Fort Griswold tract in Groton. The site is one of great historic interest and has long been sought by the state authorities as state park. It Is expected that the house will vote favorably on the measure before ad- journment next month. The senate has already approved it.

Under state aid it will be restored as far as possible and thrown open to the public. It's history dates back to the time of the Revolutionary war. In the War of 1912 1t was one of the few land defenses that the country had against the advances of the British forces along Long Island sound.

NEW GOVERNMENT OF SPAIN STARTS
 ACTION TO-DAY
MOnarchist Cabinet Had Session To-day to Out- line Policies and Plans of the Latest Regime
BY JOHN DEGANDT United Press Staff COrresDont

NOn1tcO ffcSS Stan COrreSpOn0cnt)
 Madrid, Feb 19.-(UP)-Spain's new cabinet headed by Admiral Juan Bautista Aznar Cabanas met to-day to prepare a ministerial dec- laration outlining a new political era after eight years of government without a parliament.
 The confusion which followed the resignation of Premier General Da- maso Berenguer after a year as a dictator was resolved at least tenn porarily when the 7o-year old ad- miral obeyed the order of King AL fonso XII to form a government.
 The monarchist cabinet obvious ly reached certain compromises to end the deadlock and avoid possible trouble. This was reflected in the personnel of the cabinet, including General Berenguer and the two men who forced his resignation, Count Romanones and the Marquis of Alhucemas.
 Premier Admiral Aznar told the United Press that his declaration of policy would be issued to-day. He said that he had no political aspira- tions but accepted the premiership because as a naval officer he owed obedience to the king.
 According to first reports, the monarchial coalition government was expected to call a constitutional assembly and thus adhere to the general demand of the constitution alists headed by Don Jose Sanchez Guerra. It was understood. how ever. that there would be no pro- posals for decreasing the preroga- tives of the crown, which would have been expected if the king had allowed Sanchez Guerra to form a cabinet.
 Some political quarters predicted slight modification of the constitu- tion of 1:76, which the constitution alists and other elements declare is out of date.
 The governments attitude on po- litical amnesty was awaited with great interest, many political prison CTS still are held in Spain, including leaders of the republican and so- cialist parties arrested during the attempt at revolutoin in December.
 The complete list of the new cabi- net follows:-
 Premier-Admiral Aznar.
 Foreign affairs: Count Romanones Public works-Juan de La Cierva, leader of group of right wing conservatives and father of the auto giro inventor.
 Labor-The Duke of Maura, con- servative.
 Justice-The Marquis of Alhuce- mas, leader of the liberal d democrats, center group of monarchists. Warden Damaso Berenguer. Interior-The Marquis of Hoyos, mayor of Madrid.
 Economy Count Bugalla, leader of the extreme right conservatives.
 Finance-John Vantosa, Catalan regionalist.
 Navy-Admiral Jose Rivera
 Public nstruction-Joaquin Cas- con Y Marin.
