It is only another exhibition of Amer

heavy guns could not go, light machine
guns could and did; where artillery,
With it's comparatively slow fire of un-

decisive and controlling factor, COM
pletely taking the nOw-impOSSible func-
ton of artillery, and performing it bet
ter than artillery ever did in history
so well, in fact, that not even a score
of men were hit during the actual
charge upon what was essentially an
of the infantry occurred during the de-
ployment by the flank under fire, and
not during the actual charge, which
was of only eight and one-half min
utes' duration, and in which there was
practically no loss.
A comparison of the losses at San
Juan ridge, where the charge was COW
cred by maehine-gun fire, with that at
Ell Caney, without this aid. but with
plenty of artillery, makes the deduc-
ton as to the value of machine guns
very striking. At Ell Caney the heavy
losses were during the last 500 or 600
yards of the approach to the enemy.
AT San Juan nearly all of the losses
occurred before the SO0-yard point was
reached, because the machine-guns
went into action there, drew, and ST.
fenced the enemys fire, while the
troops, taking advantage of the mo-
ment, were over the intervening ground
and upon the hill before the Spaniards
realized the situation This view Of
the final charge there is supported by
all the officers who participated in 1T.
and is undoubtedly correct 1t is also
supported by the testimony of the
Spanish officers who survived the
dreadful slaughter of that eight and
one-half minutes and were captured at
the surrender.

SUES FOR HALF A MILLION.
j. X. Watts Action Against Weston
Brothers for Breach of Contract.


New York, Oct. 15.-Suit has been
brought in the United States circuit
court by James R. Watts against Walter
Weston and Alfred ]. Weston to recover
$500 coo for alleged breach of contract.
Watts is large wholesale coal dealer
in Elizabeth, N ] .and the Weston broth
ers are wealthy residents of Yonkers.
The complaint in the suit states that an
agreement was made between the firm OF
Caldwell, Weston & Co.. of which tie
present litigants We're partners, and Caleb
r. Knevals. as trustee. TO lease lands
from the Delano Land Compsny. near
Mahanoy City Pa. under the name of the
Primrose Coal Company.
Under the terms Of the agreement Caid-
well, Weston & Co. were to handle the
entire output of coal, and this agreement
was for the term of twenty-five years, to
terminate in 1901. The firm of Caldwell
Weston & Co. was succeeded by that Of
Weston Brothers & Co., and this in turn
by ]. r. Watts & Co.
The present suit is brought under the
terms of a modified agreement, and the
damages are estimated on the amount of
coal shipped since, as it is alleged the
contract was broken by the Primrose
company.

last week detectives had been at work
investigating Nellie Malcom's" past life
in this city and elsewhere, with results
that were made apparent by the cross
examination
Just before Recorder Brown opened
court summons and complaint were
served upon Mr.. Maxim in an action for
divorce instituted by his alleged wife to
compel him to pay her alimony. Charles
Morschauser, counsel for the complainant,
placed the alleged Mrs. Maxim on the
stand. She made substantially the same
statement which was published at the
time of Maxim's arrest. She said that at
the various places where she lived with
Maxim he always introduced her as his
wife. Their baby, she said, was born in
April, 1879. and was taken away from her
when il was three or four years old.
Under Mr. Weeks cross-examination the
, woman became much confused. She could
remember nothing about the place where
her alleged marriage with Maxim took
place. She could not remember whether
the man who performed the ceremony was
young. old or middle-aged, or how he look
ed. except that he had a mustache. She
did not know whether he was a magistrate
or clergyman.
Mr. Weeks drew from the woman the

and that at one of them she went by the
nickname of Tug Wilson.

barded with questions by Barlow s.
Weeks for two hours in the police court
here yesterday, and at the conclusion Of
her cross-examination it was announced
by her lawyer that the charge of bigamy

Mr.. Maxim was arrested in New York

with abandonment and bigamy. The war

The motion was denied and Mr.. Weeks
then took up the affidavit made by Helen
Malcolm on August %, in which she
swore Maxim was married to one Jaye
Budding in Boston prior to his marriage
to her.
After much cross-examination the wit
ness admitted that she had since learned
that he was not legally married. and that
her deposition in that point was therefore
untrue.
Thereupon her lawyer stated that he
had received confirmation of the fact. and
announced that the charge of bigamy
would not be pressed. The abandonment
proceedings were then adjourned to next
Friday, when Maxim will present evil
dence to prove that no form of marriage
ever took place between Helen Leighton
