THE PRFsIDENT,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-The case of Captain
John A. Kress Of the Ordnance Deparmentwas disposed
OF at the War Department to-day. Captain Kress was
tried by courmartla charges OF dsobeylng orders
and neglect OF duty. 1t specified that no
dsobeyed the orders OF the Chief OF Ordnance in
structing sorehouse at San Antonio at expense in
excess OF the appropriation made therefor and also In
excess OF the estimates by himself after having
received express orders not TO exceed the estimate
The court found the facts stated attached Grim
inality thereto, and therefore acquitted him.
In promulgatng the proceedings OF the cOurtmartial
the Secretary of War makes the following remarks and
orders: "The record I'm the Of Captain
Krcss having been submitted TO the President
no has given his approval to the proceedings except
much relates to the action OF the court in sustaining
the demurrer submitted by the accused officer to the
first charge and its specifications which Is disapproved
The findings disapproved The ruling made that the
accused not acting under orders Is credtabe neither
to the court that made it the officer
who permitted such defence to be presented
II is not encouraging to find that court martial
posed OF officers OF the Army OF experience does not think
proper even 10 officer, who though without
criminal intent, has conducted important business
matter intrusted TO him IN a manner which
would not be tolerated by a private employer
IT Ia pot expected that any officer will do impossible
things In erecting buildings otherwise but the Govern
ment Is entitled to the exercise OF his best judgment in It's
service and his supeOs entitled to truthful reports
Captain Kress will be released from arrest and restored TO
duty"
