HOWGATE ARRESTED.

Xkw Yoiik, Sept. 2t. Capt. Henry W. Howgate, formerly chief signal otlicer, and a fugitive from Washington, 1). C, since the winter of ls$l, was arrested at 111 a. in. yesterday in thin city, charged with embezzlements and forgeries aggregating $370,000. lie was committed to Ludlow-street jail by United States Commissioner Alexander. There are no less than seven indictments hanging over Howgate, each containing a number of counts. The ollenses charged are alleged to have been committed for several years previous to 1SS0, when the indictments were found. Capt. Howgate. when arrested in 1SSI, asked permission to go into an inner room In the weather department, lie disappeared und bus not since been seen ami identified by any United States officer. He was known to have left Washington with a pretty woman, not his wife. He had a family nt that time. He now has a daughter, who lives at Xewburyport. Mass. The woman with whom he lied from Washington has long since left him. Howgate was, when he fled from Washington, an active, black-haired man in the prime of life. He is now 00 years old, bent and broken, and with gray hair and beard. Though the United States officers have been hunting all over the United States for Howgate, lie has been living quietly here in New York city as a denier in second-hand hooks. His( place of business was at .so Fourth avenue, in a basement. 11c has had cards printed bearing the name of "Harry Williams." and by that name he has for years been known to the book trade of this ami other cities. Howgate's cards announce that he deals in "old magazines, reviews and periodicals." His residence was at lt'.l West Tenth street, when he had "bachelor lodgings' and kept any amount of stock for his store. Four months ago Detective Drummond, of this city, learned that Howgate was in the book business in this city or Drooklyn. A systematic hunt of all the book stores in the two cities was made. It was believed that he was an employe, as no bookseller named Howgate was known to the trade. Whenever any of Drummond's agents learned that a man resembling Howgate in appearance had been found in a bookstore, that employe was shadowed. His acquaintance was formed und his private life fathomed by conversations. A week ago Drummond tried the plan of haunting book sales auction rooms. It was a happy thought. A clerk from the war department in Washington, who knew Howgate, made the rounds of the book auction rooms everyday. On Monday the clerk saw Howgate enter an auction room on Hroadwny near Tenth street. The clerk was not certain. Howgate had changed, weighing 100 pounds he be a dried up old man however, as from a man had grown to of about 11.1 pounds. The clerk went again to the book sale on Tuesday and entered into conversation with Howgate. From Howgate's manner of speaking the clerk was certain that he stood before the fugitive at last. Drummond took the midnight train for Washington on Tuesday, and on Wednesday got a bench warrant from Judge Miugham of the district supreme court. He returned yesterday morning, when Howgate was arrested. He was given a hearing before United States Commissioner Alexander and held in 810,000 bail each on two nominal charges, one for obtaining S2,,100 on a forged receipt, and the other embezzling $:w,0()0. As ball wr.p not furnished. Howgate was committed to Ludlow-street jail, pending advices from Washington. Tin Arret of dipt. Ilotrenti Crtri it ScnRiitluii In Wunliliiutiin. Washington, Sept. 2. Washington has not known such a sensation for years as that which followed the announcement of the arrest of Capt, William II. Howgate in Xew York city yesterday. Hy the older residents of the capital, and particularly by those In official life, he is well remembered. During the few years which precede? his arrest he spent lavishly the large sums of money .stolen from the government. It is said, and the correctness or falsity of the story will now probably be known, that much of this money was squandered on his mistress, Xettle Hun-ill. Capt. Howgate. had served creditably during the war in a Michigan regiment, anil at the time of his defalcation was the disbursing officer of the signal corps with the rank of captain. Tliis gave him an assured prominence in society, and as a result, his associates included the most prominent men in public life. One day the town was startled with the report that Howgate had been arrested for embezzling government funds amounting to $.70.000. covering a period of several years. The truth was so convincing that the most loyal of his friends were forced to believe it and public sympathy ran strongly in his favor. In his long hiding from justice, Howgate and his crime were almost forgotten. BADLY BURNED. A YiiuiiK I.mly'n Clothing Ignited From mi Unruly Lump.

The Tokio correspondent of, the Central .Ni-us te'egraphs that Admiral I to, who was command of the Japanese licet di'Mi" the battle olT the mouth of th, Vu In river, has sent an officer l make a verbal rep rt of the engag. ment to the emperor, who is now Hiroshima. According to this officer report, after acting in concert with U t army nt the Tal-Tong river, the prin. pal Japanese squadron, comprising eleven war ships and thu packet Saild i Marn, left that point ou September! At dawn on the 17th they passed Ha.-Yan-Tan and sighted Takusl.ad bay u. Manchuria in the forenoon. Tlt found four Chinese warships and s v torpedo boats. The Chinese fle, steamed out of the mouth of the river in battle formation, and when distant 4,000 metres opened fire. The Japanese, fearing that their fire wouh do little execution at such a distance waited until within 3,000 meters of the Chinese ships and then brought theii guns into piny. The Japanese main tallied their line of battle but the Chinese after a short time broke their formation. The action was extremely hot at times. The Lai Yuen, of the ( bines, fleet, sank first, .stern foremost, and her bows rising, .stood for a minute and a half out of water. The ClnhYuen was the next vessel to go down, aud she was followed in a short Um by the Chno-Yuen. Many inemlk'rs of the crews of the sinking vessels clung to the rigging as their ships settled and cried for help. It was a pitifu sight. The Yang-Wei was next disabled and then the Japanese packet SaiknvMaru. The steering gear of the SaikioMaru was disabled by the exp!s; m of one of the enemy's shells, and that vessel was obliged to drop out of line She was pursued by the Chitn-st . snj.i was forced to pass between th- powerful Ting-Yuen and Chen Yu. n uitli.r. a distance of eighty metres, 'fin-commanders of these vessels thin;: ng ) was her intention to rain Hu tu, steer 1 off, leaving the packet room ti fcajM The Chinese discharged two l ish t.irpedoes at her, bat they were aimed tu low and passed beneath her. doing n.i damage. Shortly after the mishap to I'm- u'.-kio-.Maru the llagshjp Matstishiuia" forward quick-firing gun was m nickby a shell, and many casualties nsuited. The ship also was so severe! -, injured as to necessitate her with drawing from the line of battle, an-' Admiral I to shifted lib tlag to tL. Hashidate. Another of the Chinese shells exploded in the sick bay of the U'tu t. killing and wounding many pers.'nincluding the surgeons, and setting the ship on lire. She, too, !eft Online of battle to extinguish the llamt and transfer the wounded, which injf done she returned and again took part in the light. Cant. .Sakamato, of the Akago, was aloft, watching the torpedoes and signaling to the other vessels of the Ueet their location, when the mast was cut away by a shot from the enemy and he was killed. The Yoshimo's forward batterv waslightly damaged. All the ships of the Japanese squadron carried new guns, and they did excellent service. Tney used no torpedoes, all the damage sustained by the Chinese -vessel being inflicted by shot. In view of this fact, the sinking of doubie-bo'-toined vessels like the ICai-Yuen is remarkable, and it is the generally-expressed opinion among nautical a thorities that the work of the Japanese was the most successful thing since the time of Xelson. Toward the close of the light great confusion was observed on board tl e Ting Yuen, King Yuen and Ping Ytier These ships appeared to be on fire. At sundown the Chinese llect were in fu retreat.
