Attack of Torpedo Boats on tn,
Flagship Tennessee.

Flagship Tennessee.
NEWPORT, R. l., Sept. 16.-An attack
by flotilla of torpedo boats on the flag
ship Tennessee was made this evening
by the officers from the war college under
Commander Higgins, on which Illus
trated the possibility of protecting a YES
sci at anchor from a torpedo attack when
relying simply on her own resources. TIE
night was dark and thick, a heavy Scotch
mist prevailing at 1880 when the attack
was made. A Gordon of entanglements
had previously been stretched round
the Tennessee by her officers,
which were found to be impervious to the
attacking launches. The defenses con-
sisted OF one complete line of booms and
two lines of hawsers outside the booms.
with torpedoes attached. The following
were the rules governing the attack BY
torpedo boats and defense of United
States steamer Tennessee against such
attack: Any boat, in the opinion of the
Judge, that is under fire for fifteen Sec
Ouds shall be ruled out. Any boat get
ting inside Of distractions within twenty
feet OF hull. will be considered as having
made hit. ANY boat claiming a hit
will blow whistle. and then re-
main in position until decision is
announced. Boats will be as
signed number, and when, in the
opinion of a judge, boat is ruled out, a
signal will be DISCHARGED in the direction
OF the boat, and as soon after as possible
that boat Will answer by blasts of the
whistle corresponding to number of boat
when a boat is ruled ont the officer in
charge of boat will immediately Withdraw
his boat TO a reasonable distance and
await recall. At the termination of the
exercise gun will be fired, when all
boats will assemble alongside; there will
be Judge at each machine gun, and the
decision of the judge to be final, differ
ences of opinion by the judges to be de-
cided by umpires.
The exercise continued for fifty min
utes before the last boat was placed hors
du combat. At the expiration of that
time the signal gun announcing the COM
pletion Of the drill was fired. One boat
only entered clasm to having reached a
position within twenty feet of the hnll,
hut this was totally denied by the officers
defending the ship.

Opinions as to the Proper Method
of Disposing of the Apachcs.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-The War De-
partment is still uncertain how to deal
with Geronimo, the Apache chief, and his
followers. Several kilograms have been
sent TO Gen. Miles for all particulars rela-
ting to the surrender. 1t has been sug-
gested 5y some Of the military officials
here that Gen. Miles agreed to a condi-
tiOnal surrender before Geronimo gave
himself up; that the main condition was
that all the revolving Indians should be
spared their lives, and that the civil
courts should have nothing TO do with
any trial they might be subjected
to. Gen. Miles has not been heard
from on this point. The authori-
ties here are of opinion, however,
that the last dispatch cent him will be re-
Piled to Immediately, as its language Is
very positive. The dispatch demands at
once copy OF all conditions OF the sur
render, il any were made, and an official
report OF the surrender. Gen. Nj lies was
not authoriz d to make any conditions
witt Geronimo. IL has already been de-
cided that they cannot be tried by court
martial even ii the surrender was uncon-
ditiOnal, and the Acting Secretary is not
convinced that a military commission
can take the punishment Of the Indians
in hand. Gen. Crook has many friends
here, among whom is Lieut.. Gen. Sheri-
dan, and II Is said some OF Gen.
Crooks oyer-zeslous friends are endeav-
oring. with success, 10 lessen the inn
portance OF Gen. Miles capture because
OF Crooks failure. IA. Gen. CROOKS rep
utation as an Indian lighter and a soldier
is we'll stablished, it is hardly probable
that he would have any motive tor giving
countenance TO any attack on Miles. An
army officer Of high rank expressed the
opinion today that the civil authorities,
by process OF law. should wrest the lndi.
ans from the military and try them all for
murder, robbery and outrages in the civil
courts. Their otfenses, he claims, were
against the civil laws, and the civil courts
should have jurisdiction over each OF the
cases. This. in his opinion, would be an
easy mode OF disposing OF the difficulty.

MIR. BAYARD's INTENTIONS.
What is to be Done in the Matter
of Mexico.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-There is good
reason for the statement that IL is the in-
tention of Secretary Bayard to use the OPP
portunities given by the Cutting case for
very important negotiations with Mexico.
he is full of the matter still; talks warm
ly to all visitors who bring tie subject up
in speaking with him, and manifests a
resolute determination to secure substan-
tlal notifications of the Mexican laws.
Exactly what course this country will
pursue II Mexico should prove reluctant
TO yield to the demands ofthe United States
In regard to the desired changes OF
laws cannot be said of course. Appa-
rently, however, MIR. Bayard hopes to &C
complish his purpose in friendly and
kindly argument addressed TO the self
interest OF the Mexican people, rather
than by resortlng to any clustering bra
vado. he will be firm in his demands,
but there will be no thought of intimida-
tlon or suggestion of war. 1t may per-
maps be intimated that failure upon the
part OF Mexico to bring itself up to the
level of the other great civilized
nations OF the world in this respect
might force the United States to
treat Mexico in all matters Ofinteroourse
as such countries as China, Japan and
Turkey are treated. Their system oflaws
does not give foreigners sufficient assur-
duce OF protection. All the great nations
require that their citizens shall be tried
before consular or international courts.
Mexico will undoubtedly be made to I'M
derstand that not simply respect to its ex-
traordlnary claim of u right TO try aliens
Tor alleged offenses committed outside of
toe territory of Mexico, but in a great
many other respects, its code of laws
IS not in accord with the spirit of to-
day.
The argument addressed to the Mexi.
can government is so enlightened and
progressive statement that President
Dlaz will readily appreciate it. He will
De told that free intercourse between the
United States and Mexico requires either
the proper modification of his own laws or
such provision for the protection of cIti-
zens of the United States as the semi-cly-
lllZed countries afford. Mr.. Bayard, con-
versing with the correspondent OF the Re-
publican, stated plainly that he hoped to
persuade the Mexican officials and
Mexican people that so long as INSULT
Client protection to property and life was
given by Mexico the class of Americans
who go into that country must neces-
sarlly be those who go taxing their lives
In their hands. They are adventures,
and hardly represent that better class OF
American citizens which Mexico must
most certainly want, and who will do
most to enrich Mexico and develop it's re-
sources. This argument he plainly ex-
poets TO be appreciated and effective In
accomplishing the desired notifications
Of all Mexican laws.

The horseman is never mistaken for the

clubs are easily distinguished about

ionable TO pursue the aniseed bag over
the country to tie music of the yelping
hounds and the frequent crack of the shot
gun in the hands of the honest farmer.
They are good borsemen and admirable
athletes, these bunting men, and they
evidently don't care rap tor ridicule.
All OF them are sbglomaniacs; they are,
indeed, the leaders of the craze, and their
coats are short and trousers wide, while
their hats grow small at the top. The
badge of the order Is the single glass and

CURRENT THEATRICAL GOSSIP
Nym Crinkle Among the Plays and
Players.


NEW YORK, Sept. 1s.-Tbe prevailing
clamor Is mainly caused by Mr.. Dixey's
manager, who arrived from Europe day
in advance of his star in order to pave the
way for a reception.
Mr.. Rice told me himself that the heart
Of the nation stood still in expectation.
This is true, but in expectation OF what
Mr.. Rice and not what MIR. DiXey will do
next.
The outburst OF "Theodora" took place
at Niblo's Garden on Monday night. It
| proved to be an astonishing and Intricate
| spectacle. Public interest was height
ened in the event owing to Bernhard1s
success in the play abroad, and on ac-
count OF the enormous amount spent here
in the production by Miss Lillian Alcott
and her syndicate. The play itself ia q
ponderous one, with three novel and
strong situations, but it's chief appeal at
Niblo's was through the eye.
On the night of its production Mr.. Nat
Goodwin appeared at the Bijou in his
new piece, Little Jack Sheppard"
which. aside from Mr.. Goodwin's share
in 1t, proved to be rather dull, and at the
Windsor Mr.. Fred BrytOn opened with
his play Of FORGIVEN" or these three
works Mr.. Bryton had the call, as the
managers say.
While the psychologists and critics
were at Niblo's the populace were at the
Windsor.
Still, Theodore" is an interesting the
atrical event. 1t reproduces for us with
appalling accuracy the life. debauch-
cry, extravaganza and passion Of the
sixth century as they have never been re-
produced on the stage before.

hundreds Of people dressed In real armor
and genuine silks and satins, wondered
at the opulence of the modern stage. In
the matter of historical accuracy of de-
tail 1t surpasses anything that we have
attempted OF late years, and you know
what mints OF money Robson and Crane
and Hill and Barrett have poured upon
the boards.
The management from the first has been
actuated by an ungovernable desire to
nave everything real The jewels upon
one OF the stars tresses would build a
theatre, and a cOstumer told me that the
brass shields used by the supers cost
hundreds OF dollars. She has thus man
aged to com bine the interest of museum,
panorama and play with the ANNA
ton of torchlight procession and the
humor OF an Irish funeral.
Mr.. Nat Goodwin deserves a good play.
he Is one of the best comedians in the
country, but he Is wasting his talents in
burlesque. He never can be a DiXev, for
be is an actor, and he has no Ed Rice to
manage receptions. 1t is doubtful if he
wants any. What he really needs is
sterling play.

pearance than she did by her debut. She
