According to the Information unearthed. William Bartholin la a member ot the noble hcuae of Bartholln-Elchel In Denmark.

When the war waa over he returned to Chicago and married her and la 1873 Wil liam Bartholin, tha present fugitive, waa born. After various vicissitudes tho father died at the Soldiers' homo at Milwaukee.

The only thing that remains la the addi tional armament on both aides, Masaachu- setta' heavy artillery for the shore, and the Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York navy militia tor the fleet. These or ganisations will arrive tomorrow afternoon. Tho artillery will be at once distributed among tho poata at the entrance of Narra- ganaett Bay and alao at New Bedford. As to the naval militia, the gunboats Mayflower and Scorpion will be here In readlneas to receive tha Massachusetts and Connecticut troopa, the New York baval militia arriving on Supply. These three boata will Immediately leave for sea and the militia will be dlatributed among the veaaels ot the fleet. It la expected that the fleet ot Admiral Hlgglnaon will disappear from the coast aome time tomorrow nlgbt Snd will not be heard from again until the attack Is .made. The principal event today In thla vicin ity was the arrival of Major General MacArthur, commander ot the Duiartment ot the Eaat, on a tour 6t Inspection. Ha was received at Fort Adama late in the afternoon and a long conaultation was held this evening at headquarters. After bis Inspection ot three forts defending Narra- ganaett Bay, General MacArthur will leave for New Bedford, probably tomorrow after noon. Where Wlg-Wagglag will Bo Doae. A large number of algnal atattona reach ing from Fort Adams along the aouthern end of Rhode Island, which la practically the city of Newport, have been established by the army. These stations are all in tele. graphic communication with headquarters at Fort Adams. A wireless telegraph ayatem has alao been established between Fort Ad ams snd tho mainland, and alao with the forts on Canonlcut Island and Dutch Island, Fort Wetherill on tho former and Fort Greble on the latter. The main reliance ot the army ot defense In this vlctnty Is the searchlight station at Price's Neck, very close to the life-saving Station. It la hoped that thla atatlon will be able to pick up, by means of Its power ful light, any vessel ot the enemy. It ia also a very exposed point and may be the acene ot an attack, with tbe object of cut- liua Die w u ea.

Outside of the mortar emplacements at Fort Adama a camp has been established for the use ot detachments, so that In case of alarm the guna may be manned In stantly.
