Army Claims a Second Vic- tory in Standing Off the Hostile Fleet. P Lh R FORT WRIGHT, FISHERS ISLAND, N. Y., Sept. 2—While the guns of the fort were firing on the fleet to-day Edward Roy was instantly killed by the premature | discharge of a twelve-inch gun; Harry A. Davis was seriously and perhaps fatally injured, and a third man, Samuel Cleven- ger, was severely wounded. Several others suffered slight injuries. All the men were privates of the Second.Company, Coast Artillery, of the regular army. Roy was No. 2 man at the gun and was handling the powder. He had put a thirty-pound charge into the gun and had Just pushed the breech block into place without locking it when the explosion oec- curred. It is supposed that a plece of the burning rag had been left in the gun. Roy was literally blown to pieces. Davis was hit in the chest by a piece of flying bone. DEFENDERS ARE ALERT. NEW LONDON, Conn., Sept. 2.—The de- fending forces in the New London district are to-night on the alert and awaiting an attack by the navy. At midnight no de- cisive movement had been made by the fleet under Admiral Higginson. At that hoyr General MacArthur left his head- | quarters and boarded his yacht, the Kan- awha, for the night, leaving Major Harri- son in charge. The imir(sslun prevails here that New- port is-the point which will next be at- tacked, although the presence of three yessels, supposed to be battleships, at Gardiners bay, caused uneasiness. They can be seen piainly from Fort Wright. The defending force is all at sea in re- gard to the next movement to be made by Admiral Higginson and every possible precaution has. been taken to guard against a surprise. NEW DONDON, Conn., Sept. 2.—The second attack on the island forts - took place at 5 o'elock this morning and as far | as they went the maneuvers were practi- cally a repetition of ‘last night's engage- | ment, though there were different tactical | movements. The army men claim a sec- ond victory. The ships attempted to pass through Plum Gut, but were obstructed by mines, three of the vessels being put out “of action. After the engagement, which lasted over an hour, the ships pro- ceeded toward Block Island. MACARTHUR REPORTS. j At noon General MacArthur, command- ing the army of the defense, ‘made this report te the adjutant general: A At 9 o'clock last night information sent dis- trict commanders by the headquarters that th: eremy’s fleet would divide in squadron, at- | tacking west end line and attempting to force | entrance, other squadron attacking Newport. At 10:15 p. m. enemy's fleet sighted simulta- | neously by Forts Wright, Michle, Terry and Gardners Point. Concentrated and well-sus- tained fire maintained on ships by Michle and Terry for forty minutes, with result as reported by five commanders, that Brogklyn and Indiana | were destroyed. About 4 a. m. the enemy at- | tempted to pass through mine flelds in Plum Gut. Major Murray, in charge of mines, re- ports destruction of Alabama and Puritan by judgment firing and Massachusetts by contact firing. sage of ships through this mine fleld | apparently not preceded by explosion or any at- | tempt made to remove mines. Therefore, report | accepted as conelusive. Soon thereafter enemy retired. At midnight three ships of enemy | sighted off Brenton's reef.

ON RECONNOITERING TRIP. ‘When information came to headquar- | ters Jate this afternoon that a_ portion of | the enemy’s fleet. which had been attack- | ing the forts in New London district w in the vicinity of Montauk Point, Major General MacArthur with Colonel Barry | and sailed on a reconnoitering trip. The | Kanawha went within two miles of the fleet. The ships did not seem to be at | anchor and no reason could be assigned | tor. their presence when they could just | as easily have kept out of sight of land | and also Magee, date with that of Admiral Coghlan and make a combined attack on Fort Adams | and other forts in the Narragansett dis. trict. Fort Trumbull, the temporar; headquarters of the Department of the East, is of course the most important of any connected with the present war game and_to-night there were fears that a | landing force might attempt to capture the headquarters. NEW BEDFORD, Mass., Sept. 2.—The vent to-day at Fort Rodman was the visit of Assistant Secretary of War San- ger, who came over from Newport by train and trolley, accompanied by Colo. nel Dver and Lieutenant Cornelius Va derbilt of the Twelfth New York Regi- ment. The Assistant Secretary reviewed the | evening parade, before the’conclusion of | which he, with his escort, left the field | and hastened back to Newport. VISIT OF THE DUCHESS. WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.—Her Grace the Duchess of Marlborough’s visit to the red fleet on the eve of war, Sunday, was more discussed at the Navy Department than any other feature of the maneuvers. There has been no report of the incident | made to the Navy Department, and there | is no_reason why any should be called for. Rear Admiral Higginson has a per- fect right to receive any one aboard that he desires. Nevertheless it is thought that he will probably voluntarily make some explanation of the matter in view | of the widespread comment aroused when ! Assistant Secretary of War Sanger und] the Duchess and other members of the party came alongside the Kearsarge in| the launch of the Assistant Secretary of | ‘War. { Captain Chadwick has deemed the | stories about the incident of sufficient | importance to send to the bureau of navi- | gation a denial of the report that he had told Rear Admiral Higginson that he had given the Duchess and her party to under- stand that the invitation would be issued by him. He states in his telegram that he went on board to talk with Rear Ad- miral Higginson on the question concern- ing the mines to be used in the man- euvers, Officers at the Navy Department who professed to have direct information to- day said that Rear Admiral Higginson, commander in chief of the red flee should not be blamed for the visit, be- cluse he was placed in a position where he could not well refuse the request to ! permit the party to come aboard his ship. Just what the cireumstances were is not apparent, though officials of the depart- ment are curious to learn. Native Son Is Honored. It is gratifying to Native Sons to know that one of their number, Major G. F. Harrison, was selected by Major General MacArthur to regulate the army and navy maneuvers which are now taking place off Boston hairbor. Major Harrison was_the first native of San Francisco to raduate from the military academy at vest Point, and it can be readily seen that he must stand well with the War Department to be selected as the one to draw off the instructions for such complicated maneuvers as are now being carried out. The major was military in- structor at the State University at Berke- ley several years ago, and was exceed- ingly popular with the students there, much so that his time was extended one year beyond the prescribed period at the universal solicitation of the students. Aged Foundryman Dies. Reese Llewellyn, for many years a resi- dent of San Francisco, died yesterday, at the age-of 69 years. He was born in Swansea, Wales, and was the eldest son of Mrs. G. Liewellyn of that town. He leaves to mourn ‘him his widow, Ann Llewellyn of this city, and his nepnews, William, John and David Llewellyn of Los Ange. les.

Major Burke was well known in Cali- fornia years ago. He came here first in 1869 and was ' interested in mining ven- | tures, - He returned again in 1883 on a | pleasure trip. The major was kept busy all day yes- terday shaking hands with old-time friends and noting the many changes which have happened in San Francisco during the last twenty years. “I am glad to' have a chance of see- ing San Francisco once more,” said the major last night, “and I need not say that I §as given a king’s recep- tion when I arMived here, This is the first time tbat our show has come across the Raocky Mountains and I am sure the people will appreciate our efforts in pre- senting a show that has never been equaled in the world's history.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Sept. 2.— Interest on the Stanford campus at pres- ent centérs on the gridiron and the possi- build this year's freshman and varsity teams. The outlook is' far from encouraging to the cardinal supporters. To pit against the California veterans Stanford has the shattered remnants of last year's team it. From present indications Barnhisel, Thompson, ~ Traeger, Raitt, Hill and Fisher will not be in college this year.

The coach has been all over the civilized world and now it is coming back to the country where it first saw active service. “Buffalo Bill's famous old stage coach has a history that is as weird as It is interesting. It has crossed the ocean sev- eral times, has been held up by Indians and bandits, and after it lived through its stormy career was finally taken charge Wild West Show. “The old stage was built in Concord, N. H., in 1863, and brought out to Cali- fornia by way.of Panama on the clipper ship Grant. For several years it was utilized as a mail and passenger coach to and from the various mining towns and when the railroad was introduced into this State it was taken to Wyoming. “The stage ran between Cheyenne and passengers and treasure from the mines, It was frequently attacked by highway- men and squads of hostile Indians, but always survived the attacks.

The Secretary of the Treasury yester- day notified Customs Collector Stratton that the offer of Mrs. Charles Bottcher and Miss E. McMurtrie of $7400 duties and penalties on goods undeclared, found in their luggage recently, had been accepted, and requested the Collector to pay that sum_into the United States sub-treasury to the credit of the Government, In the case of Mrs. M. G. Green, a society lady of Portland, Or., who, it is alleged, smug- gled a quantity ‘of goods into this port on the Doric on July 5, the Secretary in- formed the Collector that Mrs. Green had ot offered to pay the duty and the pen- es, and requested that official to pro- ceed according to law, which means that M Green will be arrested for smug- gling. —_——— Women Elect Officers.

When the Kidneys go wrong and all the pains and aches of the back make life miserable, it's enough to discourage any man. The tortures of a bad back, the annoyance, the dan- ger of urinary disorders take the nerve out of one about as quickly as anything on earth. Doan’s Kidney Pills cure every Kidney ill, reach the cause of all the aches and pains of a bad back, correct all urinary troubles. Plenty of proof that this is so.

It arrived in Concord on the Fourth of July, 1896, and in’ the pa- rade the Mayor of the town and several of the workmen who helped build the stage forty years before rode in it. It created quite a sensation-at the time and people flocked from all points to view it. “The stage has been driven through the main thoroughfares of London, FParis, Berlin and every large city in Europe and has always attracted 3 whole lot of attention. It will be seen here in the pa- rade next Monday and will be the cen- tral figure in some realistic hold-ups whick will form a part of the attraction of the Wild West Show.” ADVEETISEMENTS.
