SUSPENDED FOR TWENTY DAYS.
The Sentence in the Case of Police
Officer Phillips.

The Committee Found that the Charge of
Bribery Was Not Sustained but that
the officer Was Guilty of Using Undue
yioIence-In Addition to the Suspen-
mand by the Mayor and the Loss of the
Officers Vacation.
After several sessions the committee on
police reached decision yesterday in the
case Of Police Officer Phillips, who wa
accused by Mrs. Cora B. Leighton of
accepting bride of five dollars from her.
The committee heard the evidence Of
Mrs Leighton Officers Phillips and
Haggett, Janet Johnston and Ralph
Hyde. Miss Johnston is table girl and
Hyde is the cook at the house of Mrs.
Leighton ON Commercial street. While
the testimony did not sustain the charge
of bribery, it did show, in the opinion of
the committee, that Phillips while in Mrs.
Leightons house used violence towards
the man who was found there intoxicated.
1t was on this account that the sentence
was imposed. Officer Phillips was called
tefore 1.-The committee after the decision
had been reached and it was read to him
as follows:
tVoted-That from the testimony
presented to the committee the charge of
bribery against Officer Phillips was not
sustained, but in view of the evidence pre-
sented, we find him guilty of using undue
violence in the discharge OF his duty and
contrary to rule 80 of ths rules and regu-
lations of the Portland police department,
and that hs be reprimanded by his honor,
the Mayor, in the presence of the COM
mittee and that he be suspended from
duty for 20 days, and that he be deprived
of his annual vacation.
The Mayor then reprimanded the officer
commenting ON the serious nature of the
offence committed by policeman who
uses unnecessary violence in the dis
charge of his duty: The suspension of
Phillips deprives him of pay for twenty
days. It is to date from the time he was
suspended by Marshal Sylvester about
week ago, pending the investigation.

VOLUNTEER AID.
News Received of DR.. o'Neilrs sicknes

News Received of DIR, O'Neill's Sickness.
At the meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Volunteer Aid association
in Brown block yesterday forenoon it was
announced that DR.. O'Neill of Portland,
surgeon with the First regiment now at
Chickamauga, was sick, having been
overcome with the enervating climate and
the multiplicity of cases he has had to
attend to of late. The sickness is not
believed to be of a dangerous character,
probably only touch of malaria, but he
is obliged at the present to be relieved
from his duties, and it is hoped good
news of his complete recovery will be
learned in few days. DR.. O'Neill and
his assistants have had over 100 men on
the sick list recently and have been kept
pretty busy.
Typhoid and malaria have more victims
than battles often have, and as the divis.
ion hospitals are full. as many as possible
are treated in the regimental hospital
which depends largely upon the Portland
Volunteer Aid association for medicines

MILITARY EXPEDITIONS.
Difficulties Which Were involved In
Sending the Troops to
Manila.

It was on the first day of May that
Admiral Dewey destroyed the Spanish
ships and defenses in Manila bay.
Twcnty-four days later the first de-
tachmcnt of troops sent to reinforce
him sailed from san Francisco.
There we're some expressions of inn
patience because of this delay, and
also because more troops were not
sent. But those who criticise the gov
eminent Oh this account, says the
Youths Companion, can have little idea
of the difficulties involved in sending
q large military expedition such a
distance.
From San Francisco to Manila is
favorable conditions, takes about four
weeks. Ships had TO be chartered and
made ready in haste, TO convey not
Tic troops only, but their weapons,
field artillery us well as rifles, horses
and their subsistence, tents, bedding,
hospital stores and miscellaneous
equipments, together with rations for
the whole force sufficient for the voy-
age and for some time after.
1t was ncct JSary also TO carry out
large quantities of ammunition and
supplies for Admiral Dcwcy's squad
ron. for ships carrying on operations
TOGO miles from their base Of supplies
need many things.
To secure the ships and prepare them
for such a voyage. and to accumulate
ard got on board of them all the r"cd.
ed supplies in n little more than three
weeks, was really n remarkable
achievements.
