The Court of Inquiry Decides that He
Did His Full Duty at Aspinwall.
WASHINGTON, May S.-Admiral Jouett
recently ordered a court of inquiry at
Aspinwall to investigate charges made
against Commander Kane, to the effect
that he did not perform his duty at the
time of the burning of that place. The
finding of the court has been received at
the Navy Department, and is as follows:
''That the American flag was insuted, as
alleged, by the seizure Of the steamship
Colon and the forcible arrest and impris-
onment Of number Of American citizens,
including an officer Of the United States
navy in uniform and Robert X. Wright.
Jr United States Consul at Aspnwall,
which, however. we lind to have been
done on March 30 by sundry forces, which
in our opinion were not revolutionary, but
were part of an armed mob acting under
the orders of one Pedro PTestan, who was
denounced by both existing political par
ties of the state Of Panama as a robber
and an assassin, who called himself
reyolutionist 10 cover his base designs.

'The conduct Of Commander Kane was,
in our opinion. based upon the conc0rdant
testimony OF all lhe Witnesses VINO nave

who have testified by deposition, emil
nently proper. lie acted with Judg-
ment, with discretion. with frmness,
and In accordance With his
orders. Had Commander Kane acted
otherwise than he did there is no doubt
that the lives Of the American citizens
imprisoned by Prestan would have been
sacrificed with no benefit TO Americans

pinwall would have followed the murder
Of Prestan's prisoners, and In all proba-
bility other American citizens would
have been made the victims OF Prestan's
malignant fury"

are eorroborated BY experience; for
diseases Of the throat have In numerous
instances been traced directly to the
shaving Of the beard, the liability dis
appearing with its growth, and vice

dlsregarding fashion, wear boards; for
the Bible and nature are in favor Of It.
