TRIED TO ENTER THE MAGAZINE
Desperate Attempt Of Ruffians Fooled
by Il Sentry.

Atlanta. Ga, June 9.--An attempt was
made on the night Of May % to enter
the magazine at Fort Philip, Miss. 80
miles below New Orleans. In endcayor-
ing to apprchcnd the two mlScrcantS the
sentinel who challenged them was struck
on the head with Il bar of iron in the
hands of Il hidden ally and seriously in
jurcd. The news Of the affair did not
become known until today.
About half past two on the morning Of
May % the sentinel heard Il suspicious
noise III the direction of the magazine
and on crccpin" mp to the house saw two
men trying to file the locks. He chal-
lengcd them. but they an. and although
hred at managed to escape. one of the
men sending Il shot through the Scntry'S
sleeve rs he left. The sentinel pursued
the two men. and as he neared the steps

guards. aroused by the shooting. came

struck it while it foated it would
have exploded and perhaps sunk the
shin. Therefore the find was not only
valuable. but most fortunate. A curious
fact is that the torpedo which sunk had
IN extra sized head on and had no war
nose. and would not have exploded.
This either means that the Spaniards
are terribly ignorant or careless about
torpedoes.
Precautions against a night torpedo
attack have been a distinguishing feat
ure of Admiral SIMPSONS policy ever
since the commencement Of the war, anu
last night proved the Efficacy OF the ar
rangement. Everything moved as
smoothly as if in the case Of q day en-
ga cement.
1t is possible that there We're two tor
pedo boats out last night. although only
one is believed to have approached any
where near our ships.
The ability Of 4 Spanish torpedo boat
to get out from the harbor is not regard
ed rs Il sign that the Merrimac does not
block the channel leading into it. Tor
pedo boats draw 50 little water and have
so little beam that the sinking Of the
Mcrrimac would scarcely prevent them
from coming out. 1t is pretty certain,
however. that big ships could not follow
suit. even if they wished to, which is
unlikely.
Two curious pictures Of war were pre-
scented yesterday. In the afternoon. the
Spanish chief Of staff was sitting annie
ably in Admiral Simpsons cabin and
saying, over q glass of wine. you know
there is nothing personal in this and 4
lew hours later his torpedo boat tried to
blow the Admiral and his ship out
of the water.

CARELESSNESS ALLEGED.
DIR. Chnppell's Letter ArraiEninG "a
Street Railway Company.

DR.. j. W. Chappel secretary of the Citi-
zens' Northwest Suburban Association. has
addressed Il letter to the District Commits
sioners, calling attention to alleged care
lessness upon the part Of a street railroad
company.
The letter is as follows:
Il believe it is my imperative duty to call
your especial attention to the criminal neg
ligence of the managers of the Tenleytown
and Georgetown railroad in not providing
sufficient brakes for the cars, and to seri-
ously impress upon you the Importance Of
requiring them to remedy the defect at
once.
"Wednesday of this week. as recorded in
The Evening Star of that day, mctorman
lost control of his car, and 1t dashed down
800 street, crossed K street and smashed
into of the boat houses on me river
front. Fortunately, 10 passe ayers were on
the car, and the motorman. who remained
at his post like a MAJ, was not seriously
hurt. This is not the first lime a car has
been wrecked in this manner, and it is
quite a frequent occ Irr2ncc for the cars to
become Interchangeable and ias1 down the
steep grades badly frightening the occu
pants, some of whom aave bean known to
jump from the cars prcciDitately. I think
the managers of this road have had suffi-
Gent warming. but as Is proverbiai of cor
poratiOns, they seem 20 have neither soul
nor conscience. and unless thew are abso-
luteiy forced by law to provide against such
casualties, ! am afraid they will never do
so.
Il, with others, recently signej a peti
ton calling your attention ID the neglect
of the managers of this road to provide
proper brakes for the cars, ma 10 the poor
service in general but the securing of
proper brakes should me- he postponed
twenty-four hOurs-indeed. not another Car
should be allowed upon the road lntii It is

the sentiments of the .nt.re community in

proper brakes for the cars. or. wnat wcnld
