A BIG NAVAL VICTORY.
War Ships Steamed Into Newport
Harbor Unobserved.
cunners IN Forts After Working the
Big Guns For a Few Minutes Had
to Desist and Man the Sec.
ondary Batteries.

Newport, R. l., Sept. 6.-Two cruis-
ers and three battleships of Adm. Hig-
ginsOn's fleet ran the guns Of Forts
Adams and Wetherill Friday night, get
ting within broadside range for all
their guns before they were picked up
by the searchlights of the forts. The
fact that the Brooklyn got to the
mouth of the harbor before it was
picked up by the searchlights is con-
sidered by naval men here to be q vic
tory Tor the fleet.
From afloat and ashore, when the
cannonading was at it's height, the
scene was one Of grandeur. The racket
woke up Newport as it was never be-
fore. The gunners in the forts, after
working the big guns for a few min
utes had to desert them and quickly
manned the secondary batteries. The
rapid firing guns made as great din
as the big ones, and If anything made
the picture a livelier one. The five
vessels kept in almost under Fort Ad-
ans until within short range Of the
torpedo station and then they appear
ed to anchor. The firing stopped and
it was supposed the great battle was
ended. In half an hour the ships sud
denly steamed out of the harbOr in
the same order as coming in, the
Brooklyn leading. The ships did not
fire a gun, but Fort Adams gave them
a few broadsides, and when the Brook
Ign and Olympia we're abreast OF Bea-
yer Tail light, Fort Grebel opened for
the first time Friday night. The feet
escaped, if such was the idea, toward
Rock Island.
During the battle the smaller craft
were in squadron formation to sea-
ward and did not attempt to enter the
harbor. The Puritan and Indiana were
not seen. AS there was not time for
communication between the shore and
the ships the maneuvers of the feet
was mystifying. The army claims that
not only would its guns have swept
the ships but it's mines would have
wrecked some of them in the narrow
channel as the escape would have been
impossible for any that reached the
harbOf.
New London, Ct., Sept. with the
night attack on Fort Adams closed the
warlike mancuvers in the game which
has been played in the New London
and Narragansetts districts. The
grand finals will be witnessed Satur-
day afternoon when the ships will pass
in review before the forts which have
been attacked, beginning at Fort Rod
man and ending at~FOrt Terry.
Although hostilities did not cease
until Saturday, it was thought at the
headquarters Of Gen. Macarthur Fri
day night that the war was over and
that the morning would be utilized in
getting rested and ready for the re-
view. The rules governing the ma
neuvers have been so changed that
there will be no exchange of salutes as
the ships pass by Forts ROdman, Weth-
Grill, CREDIBLE, Mansard, Wright, Niche
and Terry. The review will end off
New London harbor and it is quite
likely that most of the vessels will re
main in this vicinity for several
days.
Gen. Macarthur and Adm. Higgin
son will probably exchange courtesies
either before or after the review and
it is understood that this ceremony
would take place at New London.

United States and Great Britain Was
Not Warranted, and Both Countries
Are Responsible for Losses.
Washington. Nov. 1S.-By previous
arrangement between the principals
there was yesterday published stimuli
taneOusiy in Washington London ana
Berlin the full text of the decision
given his majesty, King Oscar ii. as
arbitrator between the three countries
named of certain claims on account OF
the military operations conducted in
Samoa in the year 1889. The decision
is long and abounds in whereases. and
conclusions. and in substance It has
been announced heretofore in the cable
dispatches from Stockholm. The pre-
ceding publication. however. did not
convey to the officials here a full reali-
zation of the complete victory viln by
Germany in this arbitration. for it ap-
pears that on every single point the
arbitrator adopted the most extreme
German view in opposition to the
United States and Great Britain.
The arbitration grew out Of claims
by Germans or British subjects or
American citizens for compensation on
account Of losses they alleged they had
suffered in consequence OF unwarranted
military action on the part of German.
British or American officers in Samoa
between the ist OF January. 1899. and
{ the 18th of May following. The Ques-
/ ton really at issue was whether or not
the British and United States Govern
ment should be considered responsible
/ for the losses.
The arbitrators recite that the United
States steamship Philadelphia and the
British ships Porpoise and Royalist.
March IS, 1889. opened FIRE across the
town of Apia. Samoa, directing the
same against the forces Of High Chief
Mataafa' that the same vessels brought
the newly appointed king OF Samoa.
Malieto, and his forces to Mulinuu
Point and supplied them arms and am
munitOn for the ensuing struggle
against Mataafa.
The decision concludes as follows:
THAT the military action in question.
viz. the bringing back of the Malieto-
ans and the distribution to them OF
arms and ammunition. the lombard
ment the military operations on shore
and the stoppage of the street traffic,
cannot be considered as having been
warranted And that. therefore. his
Britannia majosty@s government and
the United States Government are re-
sponsihle under the convention OF tho
9TH of November, 1893. for losses caus-
ed by said military action. while re-
serving for a future decision the ques-
ton as to the extent to which the two
governments, or each OF them, may be
considered responsible for such losses. d"
