Washington letter Of Thursday: "On
account Of his attendance upon the Presi -
dent, Judge Advocate General Swoin has
been unable until yesterday to attend to his
duties ut his office. 1t devolvcs upon him
to roview and report upon number of i'm
portant cases, among which is Cadet Whit
takers caso. That work was commenced
yesterday. 1t was found that the record
of tho late court martial in Whittaker's
case not only fluids him guilty of cutting
his own ears, but Of lying about it. Tho
court recommends that Whitaker be dis.
missed tho service. The Judge Advocate
General will concur in the report, and
Whitaker will get his discharge as soon
as tho President is sufficiently reoov-
cred to finally dispose Of the caso."
