OF THE GALENA
Washington, April % Especially -Lleutenant-Com-
mander George A. Bckuell is TO be tried by general
court-martial for neglect Of duty. He was in charge
Of the Galena and the Nina their disastrous trip
from New-York to the Portsmouth Navy Yard, wheh
they went ashore off Gay Head. The recent court Oh
inquiry was detailed TO ascertain what ohcer WAS
responsible for the wreck and reported that Com
mander Biclnen, being the senior officer was ti'e
culpabe person. The question involved Is whether
Bcknell gave directions 10 " steer or 10 mako
certain The commander maintains that nc
ordered Smith, the master OF the tug, TO make the
course, while Smith testified that he was tOld 10
steer" that is to go by the compass without Iesau
TO its deviation, which, in this case, was important
owing TO the presence of two new boilers on the
Galena's deck This misunderstanding resulted IN tiie
vessels going ashore, when those on board had 10
idea OF the danger.
The Department takes the view that Commander
glcne should have seen that his orders were carried
ont or at least that they were perecty uhGers'oou
by the master of the tug Commander bicNIeii
failure in this particular constitutes Scooruine "

charge which the Judge Advocate General brings Is
Through eggenceo suffering two vessels OF the Navy

will be able to offer extenuatng evldchce "ihch Vho
court Of inquiry did not bring out, the purpose OF
that court being merely TO fix the blame and leave 10
the court martial the work Of actual trial.
commander Bickneu has a good record, and MS
s,opdinr as an officer would have weight In any trial
He was on the Asatic station when the Japanese ports
Of Kalo and Osaka were opened and was second IN
