of rebels. During the past ten days the
number of these prisoners has been con-
siderably augmented by the receipt Of
struggling rebels captured in the sur
rounding districts. It is not known now
just how many rebels We're thus held
prisoners at Aspinwall, but good authors
ties place the number at about 400.
Authentic information reached this city
last night that on Wednesday officers OF
the Colombian Government selected 100
of the worst rebels imprisoned at Aspin-
wall, and placing them on board a steamer
carried them out into the bay, whore the
entire 100 were thrown overheard and

HAZEN's REPRINIAND.
Text of the Presidents Execution of the
COURT Martiars Finding.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE court
martial proceedings in the case of Gen.
w. B. Hazen were made public to-day.
The sentence is reprimand, which is made
by the President as follows:
The proceedings, findings and sentence in
the case of Brig. Gen. VIM. b. HaZen, Chief
Signal Officer of the United states, are hereby
approved. In giving effect to the sentence Of
the court martial il is to be observed that
the more exalted the rank held by an officer
of the army the greater is the responsibility
own subordination to his superior OIL
GERS an example for all Others
who may be of inferior rank
in the service. To an ofllcer of fine sensibili-
billties, the mere fact of being brought to trial
before court martial must he in Itself q
modification and punishment. In the forego-
ing case the accused, whose high rank and
long experience in the service should have in
spred him with full realization of that re-
spect for the constituted authority which is
essential to military discipline, has been ad-
Judged guilty of indulging in unwarranted
and captlOus criticism of his superior officer,
the Secretary of War, thereby setting a
perniclOus example subVersiVc of the dlRCiD-
line and interests OF the service. SubordIna-
ton Is necessarily the primal duty Of the
foldler. whatever hia grade may be. In
losing sight of this principle the accused has
brought upon himself the condemnation Of
ms brother officers, who examined the charges
against him, and seriously impaired his own
honorable record of previous conduct. 1t is
TO be hoped that the lesson will not be for
gotten. Gen. Iiazen will he released from
arrest and assume the duties Of his office.
The charge on which Gen. Hazen was
tried was conduct preiudicial to good
order and military discipline. The court
found a verdict of guilty and recon-
mended that he be censured in orders by
the reviewing authority.
