ROCKFORT, Mass, August 21—~'i‘he battleships of Rear Admiral Higgin- son‘s squadron, defending New Eng- land coast from an imaginary attack by a fleet under Commander John E. Pillsbury, were plainly to be seen in the clear atmosphere from this point this morning. The other vessels of Admiral ivliggluson‘s command were scattered along the horizon, or in View at nearer points, maintaining guard of the coast. The night passed without unusual incident and no trace of the enemy was reported from any of the signal stations along the shore. All conditions at the beginning of the day Were considered as favoring the defending host. as apparently it would he inviting detection were Com~ mandcr Pillsbury to attempt to :ap preach the coast under the cloudless sky, and with absolutely no mist or base to obstruct vision for miles and miles at sea. guard ships were on the move early in the morning. on towards Cape Cod were the Brooklyn and the Olympic. The battleships Kearsarge, Massachu- setts and Alabama Were outside Straits. mouth,.thcir position being at about the center of the line of defense. The Mayflower and Scorpion were on duty off the isles of Shoals and the other vessels were. standing at more distant. points or were moving to and fro act- ing as patrols along the picket line. Just after 8 o'clock the torpedo boat Bugley was sent into port here to get despatchcs. 'l‘hc telegraph and telephone wires were very busy today with the trans mission of reports from various signal stations. There. is not a point here- abouts where extended sea obscrva tlon can be obtained but what is man- ned with watchmen from the vessels of Admiral Higginson. Each station has been heard of from time to time and those in charge of the central na- val station here are satisfied that the signal system is as nearly perfect as it can be. Not only are the important points occupied by men from the war- ships but in some cases marines and signal men are with them and they have the cooperation of the lighthouse keepers and of the. various life saving crews. All reports received .up to noon today were the same, to the of- tool that nothing had been seen of the ncmy. As far as possible these. in ' charge of the central station here are maintaining conditions of actual war, fare. Ensign Berry and Midshipman Fitzpatrick receive reports handle dis~ patches and direct affairs. Today Cap— tain M. E. Holmes. of the Kcnrsurgc. was at the station for the purpose of getting an accurate Innd view of the vessels as they moved about at sea. With his great battleships and his cruisers and his smaller vesdcls for scouts and dispatch boats and his ei- aboratc and reliable signal system, A‘d‘ miral iiigginson is viewed as having everything in his favor. There is evidence today that Com- mander Pillsbury has adopted the daring step of stationing spies at the main points included in the operations for the defense of teh coast. The first intimation of anything of this sort from Providence where im'as suspect- ed that an olhcer had he landed. in- vestigation led to the belief that at other places and evén at'this station such spies had been sent. This prompted to even closor‘sccrccy. if possible than had been maintained be. fore and to orders that sharp watch be kept for suspicious persons. At ll o'clock this forenoon a num- ber of marines came ashore from the Kcarsargo. They reported that the diameter had disappeared, going to- wards the south. HIGHLAND LIGHT. Mass. August 21-'l‘ho cruisers Brooklyn, Olympia and Montgomery and a torpedo boat were lying off Race Point at the on- irance to Provincetown harbor early today. Shortly before 6:80 the Brook- . lyn steamed across the hay heading towards Plymouth; and at the same tithe a Iarnsvenscl. known to be the Alabama, was, steamlnd in rapidly from the southeast.” HIGHWAY CONTRACTS AWARDED. ._I;Ilihwa ‘ Com loner Macdonald has await all , ntract for the ma- cadarnlsiug 01’ 97 Join of. highway in the town, oi (i hurry to, the Lane.
