OF that command under, arms ready, for imu.e-
date action. The 18Th, l4th and 2Sth Regi-

posses the eastern district ferries in small PARTIES
so as not to attract .atsen,ion and force an en-
entrance to the Yard ,onS the Flushing Avenue

Information of the anticipated attack was sent
to the police authorities, ip this city about four
o o'ciock in the p. m. Superintendent Kennedy
was out OF town, and che duty Of deposing tie
police in the emergency devolsed upou Commits
Sioner Bowen and Inspector Carpenter. A plan
of operations was promptly decided upon, and

The harbor police boats, fully manned with arm
ed crews, wele ordered to rendezvous at WailI-
bout bay. A force Of loo patrol men from va
rious wards VAS concentrated at head quarters,
ready to march at moments notice. One of
the Catharine street ferry boats was chartered
to transfer this force 70 the Navy Yard, and mt
8 O'Clock information was te.egraphed from tie
4th Precinct that the boat was In readiness for
that purpose. The men were immediately form
ed in marehingorder aud we're to have taken up
their quarters on the boat, where they were TO
remain till wanted by 4 preconcerted signal from
the Yard that their services were necessary.

departure from head quarters, a despatch was
received from Superintendent Bowen who had
,tort,
orders, and representing that every thing was
quiet. Captain Foote iIe xprsssed himself highly
gratItied with the, measures adopted by the po-
lice authorities to reIiIe him assistance, but he
