With thick and stormy, weather along the coast, it would seem as If the attacking fleet under Rear-Admiral Sands had the best possible condition today In which to win the war game by evading the defending squadron under Rear-Admiral Barker and estab lishing itself In some one of the numerous little harbors of the Eastern Maine coast. But at a late hour tonight nothing had been heard from the "enemy," while the reports from the defending squadron dur ing the day were somewhat meager. Sev eral of the swift torpedo-boat-destroyera ran Into Penobscot during tho day, and a naval tug came Into Bar Harbor for tho mall. The main portion of Admiral Bar ker's fleet, however, kept well off shore, and. It Is believed, continued the work of patrolling the coast between Eastport and Cape Ann. Admiral Sands has still about three days in which to make his dash for the coast. and it Is believed he will wait until the last moment In order to give the defending squadron plenty of practice in patrolling and take advantage of any relaxation In the vigilance of their work. m t A foreign liner brought In today the last word of the attacking squadron, the entire fleet being sighted several hundred miles i off shore on the evening of August 4. At that time the fleet was steaming in an easterly direction. EWEN GIVEN HARD NAME Witnesses In Fend Case Sny He Is Untruthful and His Morals Bad. CYNTHIANA, Ky.. Aug. 6. H. E.
