Fort Hunt, Va. June 1.-THE first
gun in defense OF Washington was
fired by one of he eight-inch batteries
of Fort Hunt last night The target
was one of the units of Admiral Dick

the cruiser type. She had just rounded
Marshalls Point, about three miles be-
low the fort. proceeding slowly up the
river. That she was an enemy" was
indicated by a signal from one of the
forts 60-inch searchlights. After the
initial firing the shooting became gen
eral and was taken up by Fort Wash
ington's l2-inch batteries. Not a re-
ply came from the warship, and when
the required number of shots from the
forts had been fired to constructively
put the ship out of action the firing
ceased.
Later three of Admiral Dicl1ins' tor
pedo boats rounded Marshall's Point
and made a dash for the mine fields.
They we're at once under the fire of
the forts.
The three torpedo boats were fol-
lowed in close order by four monitors
and a cruiser. The action lasted for 25
minutes, during which time a scene of |
battle was enacted that was most pic !
turesque.
The torpedo boat destroyers were
all dark, and they spit spitefully at |

MANY INJURED in

MISHAPs WERE MUCH ALIKE

Trenton, N. J.,June 12.--Sixteen per-
sons were injured in a head-on col
lision on the Trenton, Lawrenceville
and Princeton Railroad, better known
as the Johnstown trolley line. Two
of the passengers, Lang Johnson, of
this city, and Thomas McCue,of Wash
ington, d. c., were the only ones SER
iously injured. McCue had a leg
broken, but JohnsOn's condition is
more serious. He is at Mercy Hos
pital and his recovery is doubtful.
The accident is thought to have been
caused by one of the cars ignoring a
red light. Travel on the road was un-
usually heavy, owing to the Princeton
Yale base ball game.
Among the Others injured were Ray
ConOver, Princeton, cut about the face

student, cut about the body. Howard

1t is worthy OF mOte that we are ap-

lavishness and abundance of food, but
in various attendant eccentricities. Pc

ner' that a bofled calf is brought in
followed by an actor dressed as Ajax.
Stimulating madness, he suddenly rush
es at the calf with drawn sword, slash
es it into slices and then presents a
piece % each one of the astOnished
guests But this is not more absurd
than the dinner OF steamed rhinoceros
recently served at the Hotel AstOr,
not more absurd than the various
monkey dinners "horseback din

we hear from time to time, nor should
we omit the recent ''picnic dinner" at
New York hotel where the guests were
seated on banks OF imitation grass, with
the result that sundry handsome gowns
were ruined by green paint!
Despite the fact that many Of our
rich families would be incapable of
such vulgar Ostentation, it cannot be
denied that love Of show and notoriety
Is a common motive for numbers of
these costly banquefs This is one of |

persons were injured in collision or
the Pottstown & Reading Trolley line
IN the eastern limits of this place.
Both cars were coming to town loaded
with passengers from the base ball
game on the East End grounds. The
first car was slowing down at Rowland
street to det off some passengers, and
another one, in charge of Daniel Arndt
a green motorman, was coming down
the hill to the East End at rapid clip.
Realizing the danger, Arndt tried 20
stop his car, but he lost his nerve, and,
instead of reducing the speed, he put
on the full current. His car crashed
into the one about coming to a stand
still at the crossing with fearful force,
hurling the people on the crowded
platforms into the street and piling
those inside the closed cars on each
other.

NO PEACE OVERTURES
Ia, t,cs Made No Suggestion To
Russia.
WILL TOW FIGHT THE HARDER.
Neither Directly Nor Through The
United States Or Any Other Power
AS Much in Earnest Today as
Ever.

Washington, Jan. 8. Japan has
made no overtures for peace to Rus
STA, directly or indirectly, through the
United States or any other power and
contemplates no such action, and, now
that Port Arthur has fallen, purposes
to press the war in the north all the
more vigorously by reinforcing the
japanese armies at Lao Yang with
the greater part of the troops which
have been besieging Port Arthur
This, in brief, represents the views of
Mr.. Takahira, the Japanese minister
''The fall of Port Arthur" said the
minister, 'is but a step in the war
which Japan is waging for principle
Certainly it is an important step, but
nothing could be further from the
truth than the assumption that be-
cause Japan has captured a strong
hold, the fall of which has long been
expected, the Japanese government
will now make overtures for peace.
Japan is too busy fighting. We are as
much in earnest today as we were at
the outset of the war. We have made
no overtures for peace, either direct
ly or indirectly, nor have the powers
approached US with any idea of inter-
vention."
At the Russian embassy it was re-
iterated that Russia would fight all
the harder in view of the temporary
loss of Port Arthur.
Europe, 1t is learned, is firmly of
the conviction that, however dark the
outlook for peace at this moment,
when the prospect brightens it is to
President Roosevelt that the neutrals
as we'll as the belligerents will look
as the intermediary through whom
peace negotiations will be initiated.
AS a European ambassador said to-
day, the American government is
practically the only government to
which both belligerents will be will
ing to look for assistance in reaching
a settlement when the time comes,
and, aside from this fact, the high re-
gard in which the president is held at
Petersburg and Toxic makes it
all the more probable that through
him, when Russia and Japan have
fought their fight, the powers must
hope for peace.

loving you?"
"Inez, Inezi" 1t was Donna Aware
calling her.
oh" thought Inez, how provok-
ing" But before they went into the
house she whispered, you will come
to see me tomorrow"
"Oh, yes" the captain whispered in
return, but he reckoned without his
superior at the Post.
In the morning IneZ almost wept
when she heard that her captain had
been suddenly called back to the Post
He did not even say farewell to me-"
she walled to herself. But the news
had a mitigating element. Cascaro. the
town gossip, brought it.
"Ah, does the Senorita know, he
said insinuatingly, 'the Gran Captain
has bought himself the Hacienda Do
lores but yesterday. No? Oh, but he
has. And he told me, yes, to me, my
self, that he is going to live there
| alone. Perhaps some Senorita,' the
Captain said to me, will take pity
upon me before long and be my wife.
| Quien sabe? At any rate he had said,
yes, he took me into his confidence, he
said, 4 have one in view, and perhaps
who knows"
Cascaro threw his arms out in ex-
pressive Spanish way and the heart of
Inez beat loudly within her breast.
HE is going to have everything
ready" she said to herself, before
| he asks me-" The fire that she had
| played with burned deep, for she no
longer thought of him in the vengeful
| spirit of that morning when he had
kissed her and called her Nina"
Two weeks later, there was great
commotion in Santa Cruz. The whole
town turned out to welcome the COM
| ing of the cavalry company.
"Ah, there comes the train," some.
one shouted. People 'craned their
necks and every one was excited. The
train pulled and snorted into the sta
ton and the platform was soon bright
with blue uniforms and clanking

The words choked her and she hur-
ried away to hide her chagrin.
