MAKE GOOD THEIR ESCAPE Bclltvri nit Atttapt Wu Mas t Bis the Villi I Pieces -Extra (marts tint Beta StadosN il Ike CtsMttry. CANTON. O., Sept. SiX-Prlvate De prend. who waa doing guard du:y be side th viult ta' which the body of President McKlnlcy rests. was mys teriously attacked l.it nigh; by two men. Captain Riddle, in command of v the company o( regulars, thinks an at tempt as made to blow the vault to piece, aa one of the men carried a white package. While one of the strangers engaged the a'.tention of the sentinel the other struck him over the head and also attempted, to tab him. It was nearly S o'clock when Guard . Deprend saw prowler in the rear of the vault behind a tree in a shadow. Upon being challenged by the soldlex the man remained motionless behind a tree- He waa then about forty feet from the soldier. Deprend advanced, made a second challege and brought bis kun ready to fire. The man in th meantime had dodred to a aecond tree bout 10 feet distant from the first. The soldier renewed his challenge and fired, but as he did so a bard blow was glv?n thte gun and his aim missed. A second man had stealthily come up to the soldier and dealt the blow. At the same time No. t struck the soldier wi:h a heavy instrument In the bark and at tempted to stab Wnk A gash, "L" sbaoed and about two inches long each way. was cut through the clothing. In cluding the overcoat, and a small scratch was made on Deprend's body. The blow was so hard that Deprend was knocked down a small hill and was unable to regain his feet before the men escaped In the darkness. Lieutenant Afhbridge, who was officer of the day, as) soon as he heard the challenge and shot, ran !o the issuance of the guard. He was followed by other soldiers. The sentinel attacked, however, was In th reir of a vault on a hill and be fore the relief force had climbed the till the men bad escaped. A hum was made for the prowlers, but no trace could be found of thn. The vault is but a short distance from the west edge of the cemetery and the men evidently escaped from there Into the fields and woods nearby. The man who dodged about the trees, DeDrend savs. carried a shining weapon In one hand and a package done up in white In the other. He says he could recognize the man if ever seen again. The man who attacked him was masked. That Captain Biddle believes that an attempt was made to blow the vault to pieces Is shown by the fact that he put on an extra guard around the vault an.j In various portions of the cemetery the balance of the night. All the men of the company. 75 in number, were or dered to be ready to turn out on tbe first alarm sounded. DRPREND DECEIVED HIMSELF. Supposed Attack as Related by H m DM Not Occur. CANTON. O.. Sept- 30. Officers and men of Company C. Fourteen :h United States infantry on duty a; West Lawn cemetery, guarding the resting place of President McKliley. worke diligent ly today Investigating the strange story in which Private De?rnd fig ured so prominently. All tbe men seen today expressed the hellee that Private Deprend acted 'n rood faith and that he rela:ed only what he believed ti be reil facts. The most common b-Il-f is 'hat the s-ntlnel was overwrought by the Sonelln.ss of his position and that his nerves were overtaxed, and that Imagination con tributed some of the details related In good faith. Captain BldJ!e authorized this state ment: "I think the sentinel deceived him self on the occurrence. I do not think sn actual attack as related by him occurred. When Jayllght came there was no evidence found of a struggle. NORTHERN COUNTRY IS RICH. Lieutenant Cartwell H-u Favurabi port to Make to Department I.f- SAN FRANCISCO, f5pt. 30. Liuun ant J. C.

Sept, SO Discussing the -uith African situation. ;h IaiihIoii ooir.'sp.indent of the Tribune any; Very little has been heard about Sir Charles Warren since ho was recalled from S.nith Afrlc.i after hi disastrous 1 defeat at jSplonkcp, The October num.- Ivr of t.V Satlon.il Review will, how ever, publish n article which hV h writ.i entltKsl. 'Some Lessons From the South African War." Sir Charle criticise the preivration that were made by the war office and aa.-vrta th.it the eftVienvy tvf the army was limited to bringing troot Into the flelit TV what extent mistakes In the conduct of the war had been caused by the cabinet now and again taking direct control iif the army operation ha, he say. mt yet been aA-ertalnevl. but It Is known that political question hive In sonv Instance overruled military ex- pedlency. A well-organlied army should be capable of adding It operatKii to the ever changing view of th cabinet, although these change may lead to lavish expenditure and greatly deferred success. The Increased number of troops required was due to Impfect training of the British soldier and the absence of regulation defining the du ties and function of tbe genera) offi cers In their several grades. Sir Charles Warren, probably sneak ing from personal experience, point out that tbe keeping of an officer second in command of a battalion on tenter hooks for four year may so sap his character of the most essential quali ties for command that he may when his turn come be of leas value when selected for command than he would have been under a system of seniority. YEOMEN NOT RE-ENLISTED. Those for Whom Call Was MaJe not Satisfied With Terms. NEW YORK. Sept. JO Explanatory of the enllstmen; problem, the London correspondent of the Tribune says: The re-enlistment of the Imperial yoe men is not procee,Ung at a rate to suit the military authorities. Very few sound ni-n are forthcoming and I: U doubtful whether the order will have any real effect. Number of unfit men have offered to rejoin, but, as Lord Kitchener doe not want them, the war office ha had to refuse their service. During the l.vt 'ourteen days only 100 men of the old yeomanry do not tnlnk the terms 5 shillings a day good enough, as there Is no separate allow, aice for families. Medically unfit yeo manry have been arriving in shoals from South Africa, every transport bringing ne home. Out of 16.000 men over 13)0 have been sent back as use less. No doubt when the parJes respon sible for passing these men are found. censure will be very severe. There seems to be no doubt that Lord Kitehener has refu--ted IS.OOO more m-mntd m"i and larger powers for d-aling with the Ifcier In the Bell. All s irts of rumor are in circulation and h Is even i!l that the king summoned a m-tinic of the cabinet to consider the qu-stlon of Lor I Kitchener's position, and that he rl.ey questioned Mr. Ilr.-l.-ri.k In regard to the recruiting, which h.i fallen ,ff so much of late All that is known definitely Is that the riritl-h commind'r is eager to bring hostilities ti an .-n 1 a quickly is pos sible THE IRISH AND TUB ISOBR3.
