On returning to the country he had so no
bly, served, Commodore Stewart was subject
ed to degrading arrest for one year, and to the
cost of an expensive court martial. An &C
quittal, more honorable than the records of
any naval tribunal can furnish, was the result
accorded to him, under the oath of twelve of
his brother officers, distinguished for their
patriotism, valor, experience, and fidelity to
their country and their corps.
NAVY DEPARTMENT, Sept. S, 1925,
SIR II inclosc TO, you the judgment ofthe
court martial, which the President of the
United States has approved, acquitting you
most honorably ofall the charges which have
been made against you, and of which the go
vcrnment has been appraised, while you com
manded the squadron in the Pacific. The
number and nature Of the charges, and the
character of those who presented them, were
such, that an inquiry was demanded by your
own honor, and the duty, which the govern
ment owed to itself and the interests of the
nation. The result of the investigation has
been satisfactory 10 the Executive, will be
useful to the public, and honorable to yourself
Ii has furnished conclusive answer to pub
lie and private accusation, and redeemed your
fame from reproach-a fame heretofore dear
to your country, and hereafter to become still
more precious.
am, very respectfully, &c.
