The Stanley Court Martial.

Iu0 OGdul0y COllTU MdrUlal.
WASHINGTON, May 1S.-The record of the
court martial in the case of Gen. w. S. Stan
ley, on charges of conduct unbecoming an
officer and gentleman, and preiudicial to the
service, in charging Gen. William B. Hazen
with cowardice, has been considered by the
judge acknowledgement of the army, and it
has been decided to issue an order reconvening
the court at Governors Island, New York har-
Dor, for the purpose of making and prese nting
more specific findings in regard to the conduct
of Gen. Stanley. The private opinion of all
department officers seems to be that Stanley
has sustained his charges against Hazen, at
least to very great extent, and that he has
not, in any way, dishonored himself in bring
ing them, but it is considered that the interests
OF the service requires that Stanley should be
specifically admonished against bringing
charges, writing letters and adopting the
course which he has taken during the past few
years, in order to expose and humiliate Gen.
Hazen.
Military Affairs at the West.
Gen. Sherman has received advices from

of restleSsness. There are exports of some steal
ing by Indians on the Yellowstone, but the
thieves are thought to be reservation Indians.
Gen. Sherman says military affairs were never
SO well arranged in the West as now, and Gen.
Sheridan has reduced everything to a system.

Crop Prospects in Iowa.

BURLINGTON, May 17.--Crop prospects from
over 100 points in Iowa show an increase in the
area of wheat and corn and both these crops in
excellent condition. The season has been drv
which has enabled the farmers to plough lands
that are not tillable in a wet season. In a few
localities the drought has done some damage
but as rule the recent rains came in time to
tions more rain is needed within asweek or ten
days to keep the crops in good condition. Oats
and hay will fall short of the yield of last year
owing to the decreased average of oats sown
and the dry season. Others crops promise a
good Weld.

Coal Breakers Burned.

WnKEsBARRE, May 1s.-The breakers at the
Stanton shaft of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre
Coal Co. were burned early this morning. The
fire was caused by an explosiosion of gas in the
shaft The origin of this mornings confagra-
ton, it is believed, was caused by the accidental
ignition of gas which has been issuing from the
shaft in great volumes since the explosion
above mentioned. The original cost of the
erecting of the breaker and sinking the
shaft was $250,000. The breaker was insured
for $4,000.
