No precaution that ingenuity could de-
wise had been overlooked by the Confed-
crates to strengthen the defenses of Mo-
bile. Fort Gaines on Dauphin Island was
well equipped and had a garrison of S64
men, and Fort Powell commanded the
principal pass 10 Mississippi sound. while
Fort Morgan. the chief fortification, had
three tiers of guns and had a garrison
of GAO men. The ship channel had two
rows of torpedoes. The naval force of
the Confederates was in charge OF Ad-
miral Franklin Buchanan. who had been
commander of the Merrimac at Hamp-
ton roads. He had in the Tennessee an
ironclad even more powerful than the
Merrimac, except that her steering gear
was exposed and her speed was ridicu-
lousy slow. There was no lack OF dar-
ing in Buchanan. Had IL not been for
an accident he might have startled the
world. When the northern feet was

ability of the Tennessee to destroy all
the wooden ships of the blockading
squadron. Once they were destroyed he
intended to capture Fort Pickens at Pen
sacola. Next he would make a dash for
New Orleans and cripple or sink such
Union vessels as were there. Next he
planned to go north and attack New
York, Boston or Philadelphia.

ANOTHER CHARGE
AGAINST the CHIEF
1LLl0TT SwEARS SULLIVAN PROCURED AND
CAUSED TO CIRCULATE FALSE
ALLEGATION.

Elliott says the statement Of the
girl is an absolute and unqualified
falsehood, and that it was made and
is being circulated for the purpose
of damaging him and in an attempt
to discredit any testimony that he
may be called upon in the future to
give against John T. Sullivan or
other members of the police force.
Elliott says that he can show by
six witnesses that the story is false.
He further charges that Chief
Sullivan had one c. S. Chapman, an
old soldier employed as janitor at
the city hall, to take the affidavit
before Reno post, @. A. R., in an
effort to prejudice the minds Of the
members of the post against FL

an investigation of the Elliott case
about to be undertaken by that
body.
