| WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The Senate yes
terday passed, as reported from the COM
! mite on military affairs, a substitute for
the general bill recently passed by the
House removing the charge of desertion
| in certain cases. The substitute provides
that the charge Of desertion shall be re-
moved from the record of any volunteer
soldier of the late war, when it shall have
been proved to the satisfaction OF the
Secretary of War, that he served faith
fully until the expiration of his term Of
enlistment or until May 1, 1865, having
previously served six months or more,
who failed by reason of absence from his
command, to be mustered out and to re-
ceive an honorable discharge, or who was
prevented from completing his term Of
enlistment by reason of wounds or dis
ease.
The substitute also provides for the re.
mova1 of the charge of desertion from
the record of any volunteer or regular
soldier in cases where, after the charge
was made, the soldier returned volun-
tarily to his command and served out his
term, or where he was absent on accoun
of wounds or died from those wounds.
The charge of desertion is to be re.
moved from the records of those who en-
listed in the navy or marine corps with
out obtaining discharges from the army
where the re- enlistment was not for the
purpose of securing bounty; provided,
chat the absence from service did not ex-
coed four months, and that the soldier
served faithfully after enlistment.
Any soldier who, after desertion, has
been restored to duty by competent
commander is not to be deemed to rest
under any disability in the prosecution Of
any claim for pension.
The Adjutant- General is to issue to any
soldier restored under sections 1 and
of this act a certificate of discharge.
When the charge shall have been re-
moved, the heirs of the soldier are to re-
ceive the pay and bounty due him; pro-
vided no pay or bounty is to be allowed
for the period during which he was ab-
sent from his command, or in cases where
the soldier served less than six months.
Thecharge of desertion is to be removed
from the records of soldiers who served
in the Mexican war, where the soldier
served out the time of his enlistment or for
six months or more and until July 4, 1S4S,
and left his command without receiving q
discharge, and where the soldier. after
the charge was entered, voluntarily re-
turned and served out his time.
The conditions of the act are not to be
construed SO as to relieve any soldier who
feft his command from Justification or dis.
loyalty: to evade hardships or in the pres.
ence of the enemy, not being sick or
wounded, or while under arrest or under
charges; or in the case of soldier of the
Mexican war who did not actually reach
the seat of war. All applications for re-
lief under this act are to be filed within
three years after July 1, 1889.
