the scene was most affecting one.
The execution took place within the

the Sherifs party entered the reception
room and waited while the ministers were
with Wagner. When the time came for the

WALES SENTENCED
To Suspension From Rank and Duty
for Five Years.

What Secretary Whitney Says---Some
Important Appointments Made
Yesterday.
GENERAL WASHINGTON DISPATCHES.

WASHINGTON, July 3l.-The findings of
the naval court martial, before which ex-
Surgeon General Wales was tried, as
public to-day. The court sentences him to
suspension from ranks and duty for five
years on furloguh pay, and to retain his
present number during that period. DR..
Wales was tried for culpable ineficiency
and for neglect of duty. He was found
guilty on both charges. In approving SEN
tence the Secretary Of the Navy says
"In expressing its approval Of the
proceedings, finding and sentence in
this case, the department. deems it
proper to state that no dishonest act or cor
rupt motive involving any breach Of per-
sonal integrity on the part of DR.. Wales as
Chief Of the Bureau of Medicine and Sur
vey was alleged against him, nor is there
any evidence which would have justified
such charge, or which tends to cast any
reflection upon his personal honesty. 1t is
equally proper to remark that charges sot
culpable ineficiency in the performance of
duty and neglect of duty are fully sustain
ed by the evidence"
The Country's POrtihcations.
WASHINGTON, July 3l.-0ficers Of the
corps of engineers in charge Of improve
ments upon the Notifications Of the country,
have made their annual reports. On ac-
count of the small appropriation made last
year but little work has been done. The
