Fears Of a Rebel Cavalry Raid on Washing
ton-Rebel Army about to Assume the
Offensive.
NEW YORK. Nav Ia

NEW YORK, May IA.
The Post says the latest rumors from Wash
ington, current to-day, are as follows: Fears
of a rebel cavalry raid upon the Capital are
entertained in Washington, and for some days
the planks have been removed from Chain
bridge, and full battery has been stationed
at Aqueduct bridge.
Sunday night rebel cavalry force made
dash through our lines, and up to Chain bridge.
This evidently was a mere act OF bravado.
Gen. Stoneman is at head quarters OF the
army of the Potomac, and Col. Fitzpatrick has
been ordered to report there.
Gen. Lee has detained all nurses and sur
geons who accompanied ambulance trains
across the river, and placed guns in position
at the U. S. ford and Banks ford; from which
fact, it is supposed, he intends TO assume the
offensive, and cross the river to attack our
forces.
1t is quite certain that Gen. Hooker ordered
portion of the army across the river some
days ago, but the plan was disapproved by
Gen. Hallack, who countermanded the move
ment. Gen. Butterfeld has said a movement
cannot be made for some day 1t seems not
unlikely that Gen. Halleck contemplates as
Stunning command.
