The Case of sergoant Holtnorth.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O.-General Hazen has
returned to the War Department the charges
preferred against Sergeant Otto Holtnorth, of
having rihed Lieutenant Greely's papers, pre-

this course that court ordered by him would
be merely garrison court, with power TO n

rank and short Imprisonment The charges
against Holtnorth, ifproven. should be followed,
in the opinion of General Hazen, by more sum-

impose.
