Gen. Hazen's Mild Repremand.

Gen. Hazen was tried for conduct to the
prejudice Of good order and military discip-
line, and the offenses alleged to have
been committed were contained in three
specifications, which set forth-frst,
that in his official report for 1884 he criti-
cised the official action Of the secretary Of
war; second, that he addressed letter to the
secretary in which he claimed that the loss of
life on the Greedy expedition was due to the sec
retary's decision not to send steamer to the
rescue in September, 1888 and third, that with
out permission he caused the purport of said
letter to be published in Washington newspa-
per.
The sentence was reprimand, which is
made by the president as follows:
The proceedings findings and sentence in the
case of Brig. Gen. William B. Hazen, chief sig
nal officer of the United States army, are hereby
approved In giving effect to the sentence of the
court martial, it is to be observed that the more
exalted the rank held by an officer of the army
the greater the responsibility resting on him to
afford, through his own subordination to his SUI
perior officers, an example for all others of in
ferior rank in the service To an officer of
fins sensibilities the mere fact of being brought
to trial before a court martial must be in it.
self a modification and punishment In the
foregoing case, the accused, whose high
rank and long experience should have inspired
him with full realization of that respect for
constituted authority which is essential to dis
pline, has been adjudged guilty of indulging in
unwarranted and captious criticism of his supe-
rior officer, the secretary of war, thereby setting
an example subversive of discipline and the in
terests of the service Subordlnation is neces-
sarily the primal duty of soldier, whatever
his grade may be. In losing sight of these
principles the accused has brought upon him
self the condemnation of his brother officers
who examined the charges against him and Sc
riously impairs his own honorable record of
previous conduct It is to be hoped that the
lesson will not be forgotten.
