Admiral Higginson made a dash on the Newport forts about 10 o'clock tonight and ran by them with five of his ships so quickly that it will he a marvel If the arbitra tors who determine the result""bf the ac tion do not give him' an unqualified vic tory. It was the m3t brilliant action in dash and skillful, maneuvering of all the week, and furnished a spectacle sucn as will not be seen again In many a day. It had been the general expectation after the desultory fighting of . the af ternoon that there would be a night at tack, but It Is doubtful If any one in the forts thought it vould come as soon as it did. The searchlights were kept at work in a perfunctory way, however, and a little before 10 o'clock they picked up the ships standing Into'the harbor under a full head of steam. They came close in by the Narragansett Pier, and it waB not until they had, passed Beaver Tall Point that the forts.,dctected them. The Brooklyn was leading. Behind her came the famous Olympla. Then followed the JTfnrsargc, Admiral HIgginson's flag- : the Alabama, and the Massachu- 0n at Top Speed. At top speed they came on and held their fire until the .forts opened on them. Instantly .the Brooklyn replied with her forward turret guns. It was just 10 o'clock. The forts fired with tre mendous rapidity. Tho searchlights were kept constantly playing on the ships, and the ships began to work' their own searchlights as soon as the firing commenced. Each one came Into action an soon as the forts' opened, firing with the starboard batten' at Fort Adams and with the port battery at Fort Weth erell. With almost Incredible speed the ships came on, and the xnar.of the fight filled the city. The-fortsiwcre firing with all the speed they cij'ljd muster, but the snips nau tiiem,-. at great advantage in the number of their guns, as well as In the caliber. WAR BETWEEN BLUE AND RED NEARS END Official Advices Indicate Complete Vic tory for Army Defenders Most Vigilant. XEW LONDON, Conn., Sept. 5. The war between the Blue defenders of the United States and the Red tleet of the Auranians is drawing to a close. Beaten in every effort to force a passage Into Long Island Sound, the enemy sailed toward Newport this morning, and later in the day tried to silence the guns of Forts Adams, Greble, and Wetherlll. Official advices iudieatu a complete victory for the defenders. The Auran ians were driven back in each move ment, and were finally repulsed after the loss of several battleships. The lnttle this afternoon was not de cisive, however, as the defenders fouud it necessary to protest against a de cision of the naval umpire that the signal station on Price's Neclt was put out of action. The war will, be over tomorrow noon. The indications are that neither the Auranians nor the defenders will he en tirely satisfied with the decision of the board ot arbltiation, aud it is believed that at some time in the future there will be another declaration and renewal of the hostilities.

There will be an ex change of compliments, and Admiral Higginson will tell General MaoArthur that never before lias an American fleet faced such terrific and destructive lire from shore de'ences. All along the line of defense from Fort Terry to Newport the enemy lias bombarded and pounded tho fortifica tions. That tliay have been unable to I penetrate the weal; points has been due first of all to me vigilance or tin; de fenders and the excellent system of com munication established by General Greely, and Capt Abner Russell, or the Signal Corps. The attack upon Nau port today wa.i fully expected, in view of the fact that heretofore the enemy had concentrated Its efforts upon the race oil Fisher's Island, the weak point in the defense line. Toniglit Colonel Hasbrouck, eoni manding the Narragansett artillery, dis trict, sent a mes'sage to General Mac Arthur from Fort Adams, which said: "Attack was made this afternoon on outside stations. Fleet beaten at all points excopt that tho Puritan, Massr. ehusets, and Indiana bombarded from off Easton's' Beach without any possible op position from us. These ships could do us no damage from this position. Ail ships put out olfaction by the mortar batter at Adams and the twelve-Inch battery at Fort Wctherlll, except the Puritan. "Hot fire was opened upon Prico'rf Xeck by three gunboats, followed by on attacf. by a landing party, rne naval umpire decided that the landing party was repulsed, but that the station was put out of action for one hour from the effect of gunfire. "Protest agaln-u decision because gun boats were put out of action by mortar battery shortly after they opened fire. Fleet returned about C p. m., and now reported five miles south of Point Judith." At a late hour lonight it was an nounced at General MacArthur's head quarters that a battle is imminent at Newport. Colonel Hasbrouck reported that at 9:30 p. jn.
