ALLEGED DISCLOSURES.
FOUR PEOPLE ARRESTED.
By Telegraph— Press Association— Copyright. (Received July 12, 5.5 p.m.) New York, July 11. The editor of a San Francisco magazine, C. K. Field, an aviator named Fowler, and two others have been arrested on a charge of disclosing military secrets. Fowler made an aeroplane flight over the Panama Canal forts, and afterwards wrote an article pointing out the inadequacy of the defences against an air attack, which Field published. The Department of War ordered the arrests, which arc the first prosecutions of the kind ever heard in America.
