WASHINGTON, May 2-An attache Of
the French legation. connected with the
army OF France. but under instructions to
procure naval as well as military informa-
tion for his government, recently applied to
Secretary Herbert for plans and drawings
of the proposed submarine torpedo
boat. This officer had frequently been given
every facility for obtaining information.

for some time, and he was finally told by
the Secretary that the Navy Department
would be glad to furnish him all possible
information concerning the submarine boat
in exchange for like plans and information
of submarine similar vessels to be con-
structed by France. Further. this govern
ment would exchange plans for battle ships
cruisers and other ships of the United

the French navy. The offer was not ac-
cepted, and in conversation afterward the
French officer showed some pique at what
he termed ungenerous treatment.
