WASHINGTON, April lot Is now GER

authority that the plan adopted Tor the
relief OF Fort Sumter IS substantially as

loss The men-ot-war are TO steam in
and hold themselves in readiness to check
any attempt to intercept the boats by
armed vessels, as wei as to keep the
neIghborhood Of Sumter as clear as posi-
bic from assaulting parties, who can be
easily dealt with by shells from the
steamers, thus leaving Maj Anderson
and his men at leisure to receive rein
iorcements, and if need be, deal fort
Mouitrle and Johnson, which he can 81

plan has been thoroughly considered, and
as all the leaders are men of skill and
courage. success is certain without much.
II any, loss Of life 1t is quite possible
that unforeseen contlnge ncies may cause
an alteration of the programme, but it is
certain that the plan above detailed has
received commentator in high quarters,
and it appears feasible.
