OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Swain has sub
mitted to the Secretary of War his report on
the petition of Sergeant Mason's counsel for the
release of his client on the ground that he is
illegally confined. General Swain merely re-
views from a military-law standpoint the legal
points raised in the petition, and makes no rec
Ommendation. He adheres strictly to the views
expressed in his original report ON this case
that the proceedings of the cOurt-martial were
irregular and illegal. The case will not be re-
ported to the President until after the return
Of Secretary Lincoln.
