Have to Pay the Death Penalty for an
UnseemY Display Of Temper,
Washington, D. G.. July 10
General Shafter has not notified the
war department of the disgraceful
conduct of Sylvester Scovel, the
New York World correspondent,
who slapped his face during the
ceremonies incident to the occupa-
tion of the governors palace in
Santiago and the raising of the
United States flag over the capitu-
lated city, but it is believed here
that the dispatch printed in the New
York Herald is reliable. Assistant
Judge Advocate General Morrison
says the offence is a most serious
enc and that it is punishable by
death
According to information obtain
able here, the American of1icers,
accompanied by regiment Of regu-
lars, entered the city Of Santiago
with the vanquished Toral and his
staff and took possession Of the
palace. the seat Of municipal govern
ment There was much pomp and
display, both fitting the occasion,
and at sharp noon Captain McKit

tenant Miley assembled TO the cupola
to unfurl the American flag.
Scovel, in very offcious manner,
ATTEMPTED to make himself part of
the commission assigned to raise old
glory. The guards forced him to
retire This so angered him that he
pushed his way through the crowd
to General Skaters side and insult
ingly slapped his face.
The general was ignorant of SEQ
vel's treatment at the hands OF his
soldiers, and was at loss to know
the cause of his conduct He ordered
the correspondent arrested, however,
aud the latter is now said to be in a
strongly protected guardheuse.
Scovels fate rests entirely in
Skaters hands so long as he is
within his Jurisdiction If Scovel
should escape it is probable nothing
could be done with him, but il
Shafter elects he can order sum
mary court martial.

I felt the American rise IN me, and,
tearing the led cross of my arm, l
snatched up the gun and cartridge
belt OF one of our men and went TO
shooting just like the rest OF them. >

respondent, that your mission was
to save souls and not to send them

chaplain replied:
