It Ik claimed by the invaders that their approach from the south was made^with such tactical and strategic skill /’hat none of the vessels of the fleet of defense was able to get through the battle line or break up the advance of the “enemy.” Under cover of midnight darkness, the fleet of invading battleships steam ed in from sea and headed in a north erly direction against the line of de fense at a point between Block Island and No Man’s Land. Four vessels of the invading fleet, led by tae armored cruiser Washington, acted as scouts and threw a rectangular screen about the defenders. Shortly after midnight the lookouts on the Washington directed the beam of the searchlight on a tiny black spot in the distance. The black spot was a torpedo boat destroyer of the defend Ing fleet. Immediately guns were trained o nthe defender and rockets were discharged to signify broadside flre. Other vessels of the defending fleet were located and theoretically de stroyed in the same w'ay The cruiser Chicago, also of the dt- fnding fleet, was theoretically destroy ed by the invaders as she steamed out, presumably to string mines in the path of the enemy. A submarine attepted to destroy the Washington but according to the offi cers on board the cruiser the subma rine was detected and theorectically sunk before she had come within 1,500 yards of the invader. 2 rain Plunged From Embankment co.^^ 2«.-Tbe Cole rado & Southern passenger train from Denver to Trinidad and south was wrecked at a point eighteen mll^ south of here last night when the en gine, tender and baggage car When The Clock Strikes Ten Ballot Box Closes And The Count Will be Made to De termine the Prize Winners.
