SUBJECT TO ARMY RULES.
Major Armes Can Now Be Pun
ished for Insulting Scho-
field.
An Opinion by the Court of Appeals
Reversing the Judgment Rem
dered in the Case.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 6.-The
District Court of Appeals to-day handed
down an opinion in the case of Colonel
Henry w. Chosen against Major George
A. Armes, reversing the order of Judge
Bradley of the District Supreme Court,
discharging Armes from the custody of
the military authorities and remanding
the case to the court below with directions
to issue its warrant to the Marshal of this
district for the rearrest of Major Armes
and to remand the appellee to military
custody.
This leaves the Military Department free
to visit any measure of discipline it may
think proper against Armes for his alleged
violation OF army regulations in writing
an exceedingly Incorporate and improper
letter to General SchofeId, then command
ing the army, charging HIM with having
dealt with him (Armes) in an unfair man
ner, and vigorously denouncing him for
alleged grievances, etc.
The court in its opinion said this was
not the case of civilian ruthIessIv i'm
prisoned by arbitrary authority, but an
officer of the army, subject to statute rules
and articles Of war, and that the force of
the statute was not broken by the fact that
the duties of a retired officer, such as the
appellee is, are of exceedingly limited
character.
Unless appealed to the United States
Supreme Court the Judgment rendered by
the Court OF Appeals will give the whole
case again into the hands of the military
court.

ing in pursuance Of his own plans
and was surprised by Spanish force
and killed no complaint can be made
against the Spanish Government for
his fall
The facts that General Weyler will
not permit any news to 90 out as to
the army operations except such as
he approves and noes not permit any
correspondent OF independent news
seeker to get within the lines in field
operations, throw discredit upon all
news that comes from Spanish
sources, and the public will not at.
tach any credit hatever to the semi
official statements made by the Span.
ish Minister as to the death of
Maceo. The whole world is well
advised that the truth as to the war
in Cuba has been studiously sup
pressed, aud that no reliable infOr-
nation comes from Spanish sources.
The fact, also, that the surgeon of
MaceO's staff, who is gravely accused
of aiding in the betrayal and murder
of MaceO, has been carefully guarded
by the Spanish authorities in the
face of the notice that everyone con-
nected with the insurgents in that
province had been Outlawed by Wev-
ler's proclamation and subject to
death if captured, strongly corrobor-
ates the theory that Maceo was be-
fCray ca ~1ttn the knowledge of the
Spanish authorities and that he was
simply assassinated. In addition to
this strong evidence against the fair
treatment Of Maceo, we have many
circumstantial statements from in.
surgent sources detailing how he
was betrayed and murdered, but
these must also be received with
great allowance.
Congress should not take any step
on the Clban question until the facts
are clearly ascertained, and if it shall
be shown conclusively that the Span
ish authorities in Cuba violated the
most sacred principal of civilized
warware to have Maceo betrayed
for assassination, this government
should take a stand at once and de-
mand that the war in Cuba shall
stop, even though it should produce
war between Spain and the United
States; but so grave a step cannot
be taken upon any doubtful informa-
ton.
We must be fully advised that
Spain is thus glaringly at fault be-
fore we can attempt to force the |
laws of civilized warfare. All ac-
ton, therefore, in adya nee of posi-
tive information on the vital point
at issue must be condemned by the
considerate judgment of the Ameri-
can people. Let us wait until we are
sure of the truth and then act as the
laws Of civilization and humanity
demand.-Philadelphia Times.
Milford chronicle. [volume] (Milford, Del.) 1878-1974, 1896-12-18

The murder of Maceo by the SOL
diers of Spain in Cuba, If true as re-
ported, should cause the most con-
sentative of all men in Congress and
out to condemn the foul deed in the
strongest and most effective manner
possible. Congress should hasten
to know the truth and if the killing
gassftf0i3s 'uider flag of truce moth
ing less should be done by this-Ccy
try than the demand upon Spain that
her troops be removed from the Is.
land of Cuba within thirty days and
that not shot be fired during the
time. The massacres in Armenia
are not any more horrible than those
in Cuba. In Armenia there is not
a war and the murders there are not
OF the same nature as those Of Cuba.
Let Europe look after the Armenians
but at the same time let the United
States take up the Cuban trouble
and tell Spain to stop now. The Is
land is being devastated by Weyler,
and murder,and worse than murder,
is of daily and almost hourly occur
renee. The present Congress should
act without Cleveland's wishes in the
matter, and act promptly and in a
manner that will be effective, even
though it means war with Spain. 1t
is true Spain might do some damage
to our coast cities, but Cuba and all
SPANS possessions on this hemis-
phere would pay for such damage. |
Let the war cease, and cease at once,
in Cuba, and let it cease because the
United States DEGREES it.

Never has Marcus Hook:witnessed
more singular spectacle than on
Monday night, when Weyler, the
Spanish general was burned in effigy.
Hundreds of men and boys marched
up and down Market street dragging
the efligy by rope around its neck.
Gray-bearded men stepping as lively
to the music of AndersOn's Fife and

for Cuba and grOaning as deeply for
Weyler as the no.siest street a rab.
When Market place was reached
the eiiigy was placed on the funeral
bier and the match applied, As the
flames consumed the rag stuffed body
the citizens danced madly around
until the bier was consumed and the
embers grew black.
