OFFICIAL REPRINAND.
The President to = Judge Ad .ocate of
the Army.

WASHINGTON, March 2O-The President
has made an Endorsement upon the pro-
ceedings OF a recent court martial that will
attract attention in the army. Capt.
Smith. OF the Nineteenth Infantry, for
warded a complaint of unjust treatment to
the Secretary of War direct. without send
ing it through the headquarters of his CON-
manding Off er, against whom he entered
complaint. For this he was tried and SEN
fenced to be dismissed by court OF which
Col. A. G.. Brockett, uf the Third Cavalry,
was President. After es amining the record.
President Cleveland endorsed it as follows:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON March 8, 1891
The sentence awarded Capt Smith in the
foregoing case is remitted. But the Presi-
dent deems it to be his duty to notice the
breach OF propriety and military discipline
on the part OF apt. Smith and to repri-
mand him for his misconduct in forwarding
directly to the War Department the papers
of remonstrance. His reasons for dong
are insufficient, and the suspicious upon
which he acted had no foundation in fact.
On a careful examina ton OF the proceed.
ipgs the Presiden6 is forced to the conclu-
sion that the most prominent fact in this
case is sad exhibition OF official impro-
priety OF the part of the Judge Advocate
Of the Court, whose disregard OF the duties
OF his important Office led him
to appear in the several characters
OF complainant, prosecutor, witness and
adviser Of the Court. It appears in
the evidence that from the beginning of
the former trial to the conclusion of the
present trial Il feeling OF bitter hostility ex-
listed between the judge advocate and the
accused, which last is made the more prom.
inent by the voluntary admission OF the
Judge advocate that he himself preferred
the gravest charge in the specifications, the
only one imputiDg direct falsehood against
the accused. The Judge advocate was
manifestly disqualified and incapable OF
properly discharging his duties OF judge ad-
vocate because of the interest that he took
in the conviction OF the accused. For this
reason he should have requested relief from
a duty which h" could not perform in
justice to himself, the accused and the ser
vice. GROVER CLEVELAND.

himself, as sailing under false coiors nad
made il necessary to prevaricate to shield
himself, and that for the past two years ne

JOHNSON,S CONDITION.
An Affecting Scene In the Court House
Yesterday.

William H. johnson, the demented attor-
ney, was resting somewhat easier in his
place OF confinement in the Court House
yesterday, but was still unable t" help
himself owing to the failure OF the blood to
properly circulate through his legs. During
the forenoon his wife called with one OF
their children, including the boy whom he
has insisted had died and was buried in
the snow out in the hills, he was greatly
affected and the meeting between the father
and his family was very affecting. Dr.
Murray advised Mrs. johnson to give her
consent to the performance OF an operation
upon the injured portion Of Mr.. Johnson's
skull, but with the instincts OF true vile
she feared fatal result, and has as yet
declined to listen to the idea. The physi.
clan, however, is OF the opinion that he
cannot be cured while the pressure caused
by the indenture continues, and considers
that the only positive remedy for his all
ment is in relieving the cause Of the trouble
To-day his case will be brought before
Judge Irvine, and some action will be taken
upon the question Of sending him to the
Asylum. Mrs. Johnson is very anxious to
take her husband to their home and treat
him herself. She says she can take better
care OF him than he can get any place else,
and with true womanly love hopes to re-
claim his partially dethroned reason.

Senator Jones' Other Love Affair.

Washington Letter in the Baltimore American.
Now that all the world is laughing at
Senator Jones, OF Florida, and his unsuc.
cessful attempt at winning bride, it may
be interesting to know that this is his Sec
ond attempt at laying siege to young
lady's heart by storm. was talking to q
Bostonian the other day and he told me
about similar exploit in which the Florida
Senator figured. There happened to be a
very pretty young lady OF Boston who Wis
tied this city several years ago and she met
Senator Jones. OF Florida. He fell in love
with her and grew quite attentive. The
young lady, however, did not care for him
and told him so when he asked her if she
did. So persistent did he become that she
left and went home. Several days after
her arrival he turned up in Boston. She
first learned OF his presence by receiving an
immense bouquet OF forget -me-nots and his
card. Then he called. For days he con-
tinued his devotion. She tried every means
to get rid of him, but he persisted. 1t was
during the recess Of the Senate and his abb
sence was not missed. Finally the young
lady went away to the seashore. The Sem
ator fingered, but at last gre" tired or his
better sense returned and he left Boston
and forgot this love.

ARTHUR IN HIS BED.
Some Doubts Whether the Ex-President
Will Ever Get Up Again.

New YORK, March 2l.-It is sad but
in very critical condition. His closest
friends are now for the first time forced to
admit that it is doubtful whether he ever
again leaves his bed. He has not been q
well man at any time since he left Wash
ington, and his bodily ailments have fn-
ally had their effect upon his usually strong
nerve centers. But this need not necessa-
rily mean that death ia approaching. Gen.
Arthur is only about 81 years old, and un-
der the usual conditions would have the
constitutional strength to overcome al
most any ordinary disease, but in taking
account OF his stock of vitality, it must be
remembered that the ex-President has for
twenty five years been a very high liver.
Perhaps no man in the country has en-
joyed the fruits OF the table and the COM
panionship of interesting people more law
ishly than Chester A. Arthur.
An intimate friend of his said today
that with all his trading i'll politics and
manipulation of men, he was a welcome
guest in many OF the best circles OF New
York long before he became the Executive
OF the Nation. They say that while hand
Ii, politics he made close friends with in
dividuals who did not rank with bankers
OUuCI Wt.diCHy ar VIII DO "'oAA
those who did, yet, when he became the
Executive of the Nation he rose to the
dignity of the position and warded off
many OF the men who had heretofore been
conspicuous figures OF not only his politi-
cal but his social life. Since he returned
many of these men have not helped to
make his life pleasant. He felt the loss OF
their friendship.
Then again, his stay in the White House
was to him an exceedingly expensive one.
He spent his salary in giving those memora-
BILE entertainments that were broader in
scope and more enticing in character than
any that have ever been given in the Execn-
tive Mansion by any OF the Presidents. His
life for more than three years was ro-
maEce of pleasure, as well as of useful work.
The failure Of his party to give him the
chance of another four years OF fame made
him moody and distrustful. He thought
it his due and forgot in his chagrin that he
only did not work for the place, but per-
mitted no one who could speak with
authority to labor for him.

A FOOL OFFICER.
Lieut.. Maus' Refuses to Surrender -GerO-
nimO.

TOMBSTONE, Arizona, March 2O.-A
soldier stationed at Mud Springs under
command of Lieutenant Wheeler arrived in
this city to-day, and from him was learned
OF the surrender of Geronimo to Lieutenant
Maus. The facts leading to the surrender
are reported to be as follows: Yesterday
afternoon about ten miles south OF San
Bernardino the Apache camp was attacked
by Mexican forces and hot skirmish en-
sued. During the skirmish two Apaches
were killed and the forces Of Geronimo
were completely routed. Geronimo and
his band fed in the direction OF
Lieutenant Maus' camp for safety and
surrendered Internationally. The Mexican
troops followed across the line into Maus
camp and demanded the prisoners, claim.
ing that the fight occurred on Mexican soil
and the victory was theirs. Lieut.. Maus
refused to give the prisoners up, which
incensed the Mexicans, who threat
ened to take the prisoners by force
Gen. Crook is hourly expected in the
camp, but at last accounts had
failed to arrive. Two dispatches have
been received from Lieut.. Maus at Mud
Springs appealing for troops and assis 'ance.
The situation is critical in the extreme,
and the massacre of Lieut.. Maus and his
command my occur at any moment.
