THE JAPANESE CRUISER.

New Warship Will Have Her Speed Trial Tomorrow.

Portsmouth, N. H., July 10.—The Japanese cruiser Kasagi dropped anchor off Portsmouth at 6 o'clock this evening. The big cruiser came around from Philadelphia without stopping, merely circling around between Delaware breakwater and Cape May to adjust compasses. The Kasagi left the breakwater at about 10.30 Saturday morning, and made an average of 18 knots until midnight Saturday, when she ran into a dense fog, which compelled her to slow down. The Japanese minister did not come aboard, but the secretary of the legation, M. Kumahasshi, Naval Attache K. Narito, Chief Engineer H. Kurahashi, Naval Conducting Engineer S. Takakura and Naval Constructor T. Ito were on the trip. The big cruiser behaved splendidly, all of the Japanese being much pleased.

The cruiser went over the course today, to see that the buoys are in proper place for her trial on Tuesday. Her flues and machinery will be cleaned tomorrow.
