it came toward the boat When they saw that
it~was balloon with man in the car they
made ready 20 assist him.
Allen mOtioned to the fishermen from a height
of seventy-fve feet and shouted to them that he
desired to descend After some difficulty the
balloon pulled down by rope the aerOnaut
threw to the men in the dOry, and the wicker
basket was safely placed in the dOry. The men
in the other dorles went TO the assistance of the
first boat. and in a short time the big 1O0-fOot
balloon slowed the forward part of the
schooner.

was cool at all times and would have remained
over the land had he not lost his bearings in the
clouds and run into storm after passing over
Atteboro Wednesday afternoon.
About dark Wednesday night he passed over
PrOvincetOwn. but not at q great height. He was
unable to make landing, and the wind shifted
to the northward, carried him down the outer
Cape Cod coast. Mr.. Allen said tonight:
l knew l was over the water, and I knew I
was pretty low, but Ii was terribly dark and /
could not see thing. l lei cut all the drag

About an hour after this met tug with

l was about one hundred feet above water.
The rope and anchor were still in the sea, but
the balloon is a big one, and the wind con-
tinued to blow stifiy ! went tearing along at a
pretty good pace i'm spite of the drag. AT this
time had the balloon under perfect control and
felt danger. About 4 80 o'clock Thursday
morning l sighted fishing schooner and was
rescued.
Allen said that when the men in one of the
dOries made his rope fast the balloon pulled the
dOry to distance, but when he let the gas
out there was no difficulty in descending. Allen
thinks he was nearer Block Island than he was
to Chatham when he was rescued, but the fish
ermen say they took him on board about twelve
miles south OF Chatham.

TO GUARD CHESAPEAKE L
Jopan's Harbor Defence Plan Fd-
UOred as MOdcI Here.

Washington. July 6-Plans for an artificial
island in the channel between Capes Henry and
Charles for the defence of Chesapeake Bay,
Hampton Roads and all the rivers which empty
into them. will be modelled after the island fort
Japan has constructed for the defence of Toxic.
in case the Japan government will permit Briga-
dier General John P Story, L. S. A. former
chief of artillery to inspect the Notifications in
Toxic HarbOr.
General Story is now in Japan on leave, and
while in the Orient will make special study OF
fortifcations looking to the framing OF plans Tor
extensive works in this country, in accordance
with the action of the joint army and navy
board on Notifications
The general scheme as outlined by that board
for the defence of the Virginia capes contem-
plates the Installation of 14-inch guns on the
proposed island between the two capes as well
as big guns on both Cape Henry and Cape
Charles The only gun the artillery has used
in this country which is larger than twelve inch
is the great 16-inch piece installed at Sandy
Hook That is a curiosity. and is regarded as
freak rather than effective weapon.
It is likely that the proposed island, with it's
immense guns. will be located much nearer to
Cape Henry than to Cape Charles. as the water
is shoal near Cape Charles Between the capes
the channel which can be ravigated by large
ships is only about five miles wide The other
water Is so shoal that no defence of It is neces-
sary.
The defences Of Toxic are regarded as of ex-
ceptional merit, and the island constructed for
the defence of the harbor of that city closely
meets the requirements of the entrance to the
Virginia canes

Boston, July G.-After one of the most remark
able experiences in the history of ballooning,
James X. Allen the aeronaut who made bal
loon ascension at Providence on the Fourth Of
July, brought to this port tonight on the
fishing schooner Francis V. Sylvia. Allen was
picked up at sea, twelve miles off Chatham at
7::S0 o'clock yesterday morning. eighteen and a
half hours after his departure from Providence
Allen had narrow escape from death by
drowning. the winds that prevailed Wednesday
blowing his balloon a long distance from shore.
Until news of his arrival here became known it
thought that he had met his death. as II
was known that the last time he was sighted on
Wednesday evening he was travelling out to sea-
That Allen is alive tonight is due wholly to
a fortunate shift of the wind. When he made
his ascension at Providence on Wednesday the
wind blowing briskly from the south
west. The aeronaut was carried in his balloon
i'm a nOrtheastery direction and passed over the
town of Attleboro. He had his balloon under
perfect control at that time. and while near
AttlebOrO descended twice.
From Attleboro the airship travelled in the
direction of Brockton, and the last seen of the
aeronaut by observers on shore was when he
passed over Scituate early in the evening
At that time the balloon was headed straight
out to sea. When Thursday dawned without
any news being received from Allen, and it be-
came known that the last time he was seen was
when he was on the shore headed out to
sea, it was believed that he never would return.
After Allen passed over Massachusetts Bay his
plight more perious. Wednesday night he
was Provincetown. At this point of the
voyage the wind shifted from southwest to
northeast, and from Provincetown the balloon
voyaged down the outer Cape Cod coast At
S:30 the aeronaut rescued twelve miles off
Chatham by the fishermen of the Sylvia. The
balloon saved in good condition, and was
brought to Boston on the schooner. During his
flight Allen covered total distance of about
two hundred miles. nearly half of which was
the water. The point where he was picked
up is about seventy-seven miles from PTOvi-
dence in a straight line.
The schooner Francis V. Sylvia LEFT Province
town a week ago on a fishing trip Tonight the
English speaking members of the crew, all Of
whom are Portuguese gave an interesting ac-
count of the rescue of the aeronaut Allen
About dawn yesterday morning, they said, while
the members of the crew were in dories south
of Chatham two men in one of the boats were
startled to observe an object floating in the air
The fishermen could not tell the nature OF the
object and there was much speculation until

GUERILLA WAR BEGUN.
Government, Troops Attack Rebels
In SdntO Domingo.


Washington, July 6-Advices have been re-
ceived at the Navy Department from Conn
mander Switzerland. in charge OF the American
naval forces in Dominican waters. relative to
the status Of the revolutionary movement in the
northern part of SantO Domingo. He says:
A representative OF the government is now in
Monte Christi comforting with leaders of the
rebei1ous forces there in the effort 70 effect a
peaceable settlement of the difficulty. but so
on retaining absolute control of the city and
province of Monte Christi the government abso-
lutely rejects these terms, and orders have come
from President Caceres to attack the rebels i'm
mediately The government force is made UP Of
about three hundred men enrolled in Monte
Christi. and as many more brought from the
interior, making total of six hundred soldiers
who are about to attack the rebel force Of five
hundred men. The government also has a gun
boat at Monte Christi ready TO assist the SOL
diers in the attack.
cable dispatch received at the Navy De-
partment later in the day from Commander
Southerland was follows:
The government leaders have attacked the reb-
els, but are being met by guerilla tactics and
the prospects are that if these tactics are con-
tinued the government forces will be worn out
The leaders of the old revolutionary movement
are endeavOring to return to the country.
In case there is conflict between the antagOnistic
forces in the island of Santo Domingo it is the
duty OF the United States. according a high OFF,
cial, to see that the Marquis Of Queensberry
rules are observed" The inference is that the
United States government will not interfere unless
the interests which. under the existing modus, q
feels bound 10. protect disturbed.
1t is evidently the belief of officials here that
hostlties cannot proceed far without making
necessary the landing of marines from the Amerl-
can rshirs, to that of the agreements
which have been made with the Santo Domingo
government violated.
