ALL ATTEMPTs FOOLED.
Hattleship Connecticut Object Of Mis-.
creant's Attacks.


NEW YORK, Oct. st has become
known that the United States battle
ship Connecticut, lately launched at
the New York navy yard, has been the
object Of treachery from unknown mis-
creants.
Three times within q half year has
treachery been foiled in attempts to
wreck the battleship. Only on Satur-
day was the last drop of water pumped
from compartment which filled from
a hole bored through the half inch
steel plates of the ships bottom.
The 1900 workmen ut the New York
yard have been informed of these at
tempts to seriously injure and perhaps
permanently damage the powerful
fighting craft. 1t is expected that their
loyalty will assist the care of the au
thorities in frustrating further at
tempts and that their Indignation may
possibly lead to the detection of the
perpetrators of the previous outrages.
The guard on the Connecticut has
been strengthened and the sentinels
understand that If they kill man in
the act of trying to injure the ship
they viii receive the thanks of the
navy department
The story also says that six months
ago it was found that holes had been
bored through the center of rivets. in
the hull allowing leakage. This act
was discovered and new rivets insert
ed.
The second attempt was made when
the ways were INSTRUCTED with bolt
an inch and Il half in diameter before
the launching. This was frustrated
through watchfulness. The third eff
fort TO disable the ship was discovered
soon after the vessel touched water.
In one of the compartments water
was discovered which entered through
hole bored straight through the keel
plate instead Of the rivets The com
partment quickly filed, and immedi-
ately steps were taken to pump it out
So far as Is known the battleship is In
tact.
There is no clew to the identity of
the perpetrators Of these outrages
That they may be discovered is consid-
cred almost hopeless if they do not
again renew their attacks on the ship.
