New York, Aug. 24.-Edward Drake
OF Cottage place, Plainfield, N. j., who
welded Miss Anna Belle Snyder at the

Thursday afternoon, was held in 5000
bail by Justice Mosher yesterday to

Margaret Cassidy by proposing mar
riage. Drake was arrested on Satur-
day night.
Drake met Miss Cassidy three years
ago and paid attention to her up to
Few weeks ago. Miss Cassidy says. she
gave Drake $125.35 in sums varying
from 10 cents to $25 at time to invest
for their joint benefit. Drake made no
attempt to deny that he had received
the money, but set up a claim that the
girl had become so infatuated with him
that when he was out of work she
forced the money into his hands to
spend as he desired. He said that he
had called on her few times, but as
for loving her enough to make her his
wife, he never did.
A letter was produced in court, which
was written by Drake to Miss Cassidy,
asking for $25. Miss Cassidy sent the
money, and 1t was upon this that the
complaint was made.
Miss Cassidy said she had been

Chicago. ILL.,, Aug. 4.-Admiral Mat
soumaga of the Japanese navy is regis
tered at the Grand Pacific Hotel. RE
Is accompanied by j. Takenouchi, a
paymaster in the navy, and is en- route
10 England. where he will superintend
the construction of the two Japanese
battleships building there.
Discussing the recent American naval
victories and the causes he said: "You
Americans seem to have mastered the
art of constructing most effective
pattiesnlps. The most magnificent
record or the Oregon Is an example.
You seem to be able to fight your
ships pretty well, too. Your navy has
made splendid and. may say, a sur
prising record, for the world did not
expect to see such superb fighting as
was done by the ships under Dewey
and Sampson.
1T was a triumph of the new methods
over the old.
There are many valuable lessons to
De learned from the war, not the least
of which is that personal courage.
when misdirected and when opposed by
cool and skillful foe, is of no moment
whatever. From technical point
or view, perhaps, the most impressive
lesson is that expert gunnery Is. above
all things. the most important factor
in naval conflicts. Your country un-
doubtedly possessed ships which were
greatly superior to those of Spain, and
they were manned better in every re-
spect, but II was your greatly superior
gunnery which. for the greater part,
gave you such crushing victories.
. Another impressive lesson is the
need of non-combustible material in
the construction of warships. The SUI
periority of vessels Of high speed was
also clearly demonstrated. AS the re-
suit Of this there undoubtedly will be
constructed in the near future more
vessels of the Brooklyn class. One of
the most striking lessons OF the war
was the remarkable effectiveness
which the rapid fire guns were shown
to possess when effectively manned.
Much has been said to the effect
that the war has demonstrated that the
torpedo boat and destroyer are not the
instruments they were
thought to be. / do not fully agree
with this view. 1t does not seem to me
that fair test was made or the merits
Of these boats. still believe that un-
der proper conditions and efficiently
manned they are capable OF most eff
fective work"

STORMS WORK
AT MONTAUK

New York, Aug. 24.-The auxiliary
cruiser Yale. now being used as a
transport, arrived off Montauk late last
night, just before heavy thunderstorm
set In. The Yale has on board detach-
ments of various troops.
The storm continued for four hours.
and was, in the opinion OF the men. the
worst experienced by them since they
enlisted. The wind blew down many OF
the soldiers tents, twisted the wires
about the camp. blew down the Red
Cross hospital tent in the general hos
pital and caused havoc generally. Five
unoccupied tents in the detention hos
pitai, which had been fitted up to re-
ceive sick soldiers. were shattered and
their wrecking will prevent the landing
OF some of the sick men on the trans-
ports.
The big Y. M. c. A. tent. in which the
soldiers spent much of their time writ
ing TO their relatives or reading. was
also leveled by the gale.
Secretary of War Alger. who arrived
last night from Washington. left at 7.4O
O'Clock this morning for Canap Wikoff
the quartermaster's department, and
Maj. Hopkins, assistant adjutant gen.
eral.
The regular army men today received
delicacies from the Woman's War Re-
lief Associations. Many soldiers have
been discharged from the hospitals, but
there are other sick TO take their places
as soon as they vacate.
Three hundred men of the Twelfth
Regular Infantry have disembarked
from the Breakwater and have gone
into the detention camp.
Secretary Alger arrived at the camp
on special train. To the newspap-r
correspondents Secretary Alger stated
that he hoped TO make a thorough In
spection OF the camp. lie rode with
the army officers who met him at the
depot to headquarters. and as soon rs
he was recognized by the volunteers
and regulars the secretary was loudly
cheered. Secretary Algsr intiinatcd
that President Mckinley was much
concerned I'm the matter OF properly
caring for the sick soldiers.
The secretary will make complete
tour OF the big camp before he returns.
He viii also be fully informed when he
leaves as TO how the volunteers feel
about being mustered out. For this
reason he will spend considerable time
in the camps OF the Rough Riders aud
the Sevenfy-firsf Regiment.
