Big Guns and Mortars Fired at Tar
gets Resembling Moving Ships.
NEW LONDON, Conn.,, Aug. S1.-At inter-
walls all day the big guns and the mortars
at the forts in this vicinity belched forth
fire and smoke and sent shot several miles
to sea at imaginary targets illustrative Of
moving ships. The conclusion was so great
that it was felt plainly in this city. and it
seemed by the sound as if the guns were at
old Fort Trumbull instead of from seven
to thirteen miles distant.
The U. S. S. Panther, with the Connecti-
cut naval battalion on board. sailed to the
eastward just before noon to-day to join
the attacking fleet, leaving the training ship
Lancaster in the harbor as the sole repre-
sentative of the navy.
Major General Macarthur and General
Greedy, chief signal officer, will be at Fort
Trumbull until after the enemy is sighted
and will then proceed to whatever point
may be considered the most advantageous
for the direction of the movements OF the
ermy forces.
1t is believed that the plan of signals is
the most complete ever established in the
world, and every precaution has been taken
to have substitutes for any system that
may be destroyed or captured by the en-
envy. Searchlights will play an important
part in the maneuvers at night and the
efficiency of those of the army was demon
strated at midnight when the waters of the
entire New London district were completely
covered, every searchlight being used at
that hour and directed a short distance
above the surface of the waters. 1t was
a magnificent sight and the smallest boat,
even the small craft used by the mackerel
fishermen at this season, could be seen
plainly, and with the aid of marine glasses

tifying to the uninitiated.

The naval reserves were distributed to
the warships just before the dinner hour,

Mass, and Company G., of New Bedford,
under command of Captain Burlington, of
Fall River.
