THE M'CALLA CASE.
NEW YORK, May 13.-Herald's Wash
ington special says, although the tindiog
of the court martial in the case of Com
mander McCa!la, will not be officially
promulgated until tomorrow, there is
| good authority for the statement that the
sentence is in the nature of a suspension
of rank. 1t is positively known the SEN

| the verdict IS three years, suspension on
half pay, and to retain his present mum
Der on the navy register during that per-
iod. Naval officers generally anticipated a
| somewhat heavier sentence and many
| looked for dismissal with recommends
tion to mercy. 1t is expected the
secretary, in reviewing the case, will ex-
press the dissatisfaction of the department
at the verdict and will administer severe
| reprimand to the accused.
