Naval Attack Repulsed.

The naval attack upon the defenses Of
Washington which was precipitated last
night by Admiral Dickens's squadron
was repulsed by Forts Hunt and Wash
inglon. This was the first light between
men-of-war and forts in that locality
since the war of 1872, when the battery
at the White House and British vessels
engaged in duel. Many people from
this CITY and Washington went to River
View and Marshall Hall for the purpose
of witnessing the battle last night.
Early in the night there was a PrelIml.
nary conflict, but between eleven and
twelve o'clock the struggle became ter
rife The roar of the cannon could be
heard in this city, and large numbers OF
people repaired to the southeastern section
of the city TO see the glare OF the search
lights and the fash Of the guns from the
forts and the feet. Those who wit
messed the Conflict describe it in
vivid terms, and say it was intensely
realistic from beginning to end.

says At day-break this morning the
shot-riddled hulks of what was left OF
Admiral Dickens's secondary squadron,
ANONYMOUSLY defeated in the attempt to
take the national capital, driited down
the Potomac. Every vessel in the fieet
was "put out of action" by the magnill
cent guunery of the artillerymen IN
Forts Washington and Understanding
to the army version. The only damage
done to the forts by the fire OF the heet
was a window pane-cracked in the COM
man1snt's house. After the engage

stream, supposedly tor further operations
against Fort Monroe.
Fort Monroe, Va, June l4.--Ihe
attack made by Admirsl Dickins shortly
before 10 o'clock last night, was the last
one sustained by Fort Monroe. Nothing
was known of the location of the fleet at

Negroes Fined.

Charles Briggs and Mace Butler, two
negroes, were arfaigned in the Wash
ington police court yesterday, charged
with disorderly conduct 10 swearing en-
street cars. Briggs was fined $25 and
Butler $40. Judge Kimball said that
all such cases of rowdyisn will be dealt
with in the same manner. He said that
he is determined to put check to dis
orderly conduct on the street cars OF
Washington. The action of the judge
will meet with the hearty approval not
only of many Washiugtonians, but OF
Alexandrians who for many years have
complained of the uuseemly conduct OF
certain negroes who enter street cars IN
the capital city for the purpose OF max
ing themselves seen and heard.
