Policeman w. E. Owens of the Anacostia
station succeeded about O'Clock yester-
day evening In arresting the man wanted
for an attempt to crimnally assault Miss
Ada LittIeford of 900 9th street northwest
at Wilson Park, Congress Heights, We'd
nesday night. as published in The Star
yesterday. There Is no doubt that the man
arrested is the right one as he admitted
the charge In part to Policeman Owens
after being arrested.
Assistant United States Attorney Laskey
heard the details of the affair today and
directed that the charge be reduced to one
of simple assault. The trial was set for
Tuesday.

typer by trade. single and twenty-five
While Detective Proctor. who had been
detailed to assist Owens, went with the
lady to Alexandria on what was supposed
to be good clue. Owens took an afternoon
train to Hyattsvilie. and on arriving there
bagged his man in quick order Sheriff
R. FL. Vincent of Hyattsville assisted the
policeman.
Sheriff Vincent brought the party to
Washington in his carriage. The prisoner
at first denied having any knowledge of
the occurrence at Congress Heights but
after short time said to Policeman
Owens:
Yes. am the right man. 1 am wanted
for insulting young lady at Congress
Heights
The prisoner denied having used a re-
volver which is said to be contrary to the
young lady's story. He says he remained
in Pencote woods until a late hour on the
right he was pursued by the police and

"The Victory Belongs to You Boys
Behind the Guns"
RECEIVES A PRESENT FROM THE CREW
His Response When Given the
Teresa's Compass.
THE BROOKLYN'S CHASE

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July To-
There were a couple of curious incidents
today. boats crew with diving appa-
ratus was sent from the Brooklyn to exam
inc the Inftnta Maria Teresa, the flagship
of Admiral Cervera.
Among the terrible wreckage made by
the big guns and the exploded magazines
they found a standard compass, by which
the ship was steered, and which hal tum-
bied down from the bridge. 1t was a heavy
thing. but they brought it over. and by per-
mission of Capt. Cook presented it to Com
mcdore Scney.
1t was curious sight and withal pleas
ing one to see these seamen bubbling over
with affection for the commander, shuttle
on to the quarter deck where Commodore
Schley was reading.
One of the men representing the entire
crew and two men following him and carry
ing the thing. stepped close to the Com
modore and then the spokesman in stam-
mering way, said "Sir, the crew would
like to make you a present.
Presented to SchIey.
Schley was on his feet in an instant, his
glasses in his hand and his paper on the
deck. The spokesman hesitated.
well, my men,, said the commodore
with an encouraging smile.
The spokesman. hitching at his trousers.
continued: I'VE found this compass on the
Spanish admirals ship, and we thought as
how as we would like to give it you to
remember how you whipped them
"WelI, my men," said the commodore,
with a tremor in his voice. 81 am much
obliged to you, but the great credit of that
victory belongs to you boys-the men be-
hind the guns. Without you no laurels
would come to our country. Thank you"
There was a hearty three cheers from the
men, and then Gunner's Mate Donnelly,
thinking that something should be said in
answer, touched his cap and blurted out:
1--WE hopes, sir, that you'll steer a straight
er course than the other fellow who owned
it." and there was another approving cheer
as the men dispersed.
With the usual twinkle of his eye be-
jeweed with a tear, the commodore said
as he turned away: "Pd rather have a
thing like this than the adulations of my
entire country"
Chased by the Brooklyn.
For the first time since the blockade
opened, Yankee commercial ingenuity was
visible today. The lookout on the Brook
lyn saw a steamer on the western horizon
line, and the big cruiser Immediately start
ed on a chase.
A shot fired from a six-pounder hove her
to and Lieut.. Doyle and crew from the
Brooklyn boarded her. When he returned
he wore broad smile, and when he re-
ported to Captain Cook there was a hearty
laugh. The ship was loaded with provis-
| ions and had permission to remain out
| side of Santiago until the city was captur-
| ed by the Americans, when it was expected
| that the populace would pay splendid
prices for the goods. She was allowed to
| remain outside of the blockade line.
