COL. JOHN s. MOsBY.

1t has been q matter of keen disap.
pointment and deep regret to Col.
John s. Mosby, now of San Francisco,
and who gained fame in the civil war
as the leader of the famous guerrilla
band which bore his name, that his
sword remained sheathed during the
recent unpleasantness with Spain.
The gray old eagle was spelling for a
scrap, and if the war had been pro-
longed, would undoubtedly have got
into the midst of a few cavalry Skin
mishes.
It was all the harder for Col. Mosby
to keep clear of martial entanglements,
for from all part of the country he re-
ceived letters applying for permission
to serve under him, in the event of his
forming troop or regiment. Now,
the old war horse says he is glad that
peace has been declared, and he wants
to hear no more of organizing military
commands. He is thoroughly disgust
ed, and his feeling is entirely the re-
suit of q letter he received from an en-
tbusiastic admirer in Nebraska.

writer, 'as member of your gorilla
band ?"- San Francisco News Letter.

TUESDAY EVENING, AUG. 30 1898.

IT appearing that the court martial
that tried an officer of the U. ,. army
for Decorating a Confederate grave
near Manassas was not sentenced to the
penitentiary, as was reported, the eu-
tborities of Fairfax county have taker
him in custody, and will try him or
the indictment the grand jury OF that
county has already found against him
The penalty of his offense is conhne-
mept in the penitentiary for ten years.
and. as a warning to all others who may
feel disposed to be ghouls in order @
find "rebel" relics, it is hoped that
that penalty may be meted out to him
in full measure. His villainous crime
has ether been ignored or glozed over
in the North; but if q Southern officer
had robbed the grave of a federal sol
der. that whole section would
have been aroused by the enormi'y O.
his offense, and the people OF the
the South been accused OF savage
barbarity aud malignant spite sgains
those who overwhelmed them thirty
odd years ago.

CHARGES AGAINST THE WAR
DEPARTMENT.

In another interview with Gen. Miles
at Porto Rico he makes the following
charges against the War Department.
Sending a secret dispatch to Gen
Shafter saying that Miles was not in
command at Santiago while sending
orders to Miles as general in command.
Mutilating and even suppressing parts
or the whole of messages when making
them public, and so.conveying wrong
impression TO the people and putting
officers in a wrong light before the peo-
Pile. Disregarding his (Miles) recon-
mendations as to moving troops from
Santiago in order to prevent fever.
Allowing the plans of the Porto Rico
campaign to leak out and to become
useless,

The Peace Commissioners

MADRID, Aug. 30.-.Premier Sagasta
this morning denied the truth
of the report that the Span
ish peace commission had been
formed. There was yet plenty of time,
he said, for selecting the members OF
the commission. The press, however,
reproduce the names of the probable
commissioners as cabled yesterday with
the exception that the name of Gen.
Zibala is replaced by that of the Duke
of Nsjera.
EiLiberal commenting upon the
names OF the members OF the Washing
ton commissioners says that they salts
fly the programme which demanded
Two or three really good men, the
others being merely of ornamental ma
terial"
FL Liberal considers Messrs. Day,
White and Reid as the important mem
bers of the commission and speaks high
ly of their Intellectual qualities. The
Inclusion of Justice White in the COM
mission is attributed to the influence of
Archbishop Ireland with President Nc
Kinley.

The President.

CLEVELAND, o., Aug. 80 President
Mckinley announced at noon that he
would leave here for Canton Thursday,
stopping there two hours. He will pro-
coed directly to New York, remaining
there long enough to get train for
Montauk Point. He intimated that his
presence at the camp might be required
Tor period of more than two or three
days. The President arrived last even
ing and drove direct to the home OF
Colonel Herrick. Several detectives
have been detailed to guard the Her
rick residence from suspicious intruders.
The President declined to discuss the
c ndlion OF affairs at Montauk Point or
charges of Encouragement in the con-
duct of the war. He did say that any
charges made would be thoroughly in
vesiigated and if any one were guilty
he would be punished

DUNCAN is A PRISONER.

Surgeon l. G. Duncan, the alleged
grave robber, who was turned over to
the civil authorities by the military at
Thorouehfare, was taken to Fairfax
Court House Sunday by Sheriff Gordon.
and is in jail awaiting trial. He has
retained R W. Moore as his attorney,
and an effort is being made to get bail.
The case of Captain Duncan will come
up in the County Court for trial on the
third Monday in September on the
charge OF desecrating Confederate
graves at Bull Run, near Manassas. 1t
appears that DR.. Duncan, whose case
has now become famous, was not SEN
fenced to FIVE years Imprisonment, as
reported in dispatch from Camp
Meade, Pa. but escaped much more
lightly at the hands of the military
court. The first charge was conduct
unbecoming an officer and gentleman. l."
DR.. Duncan was acquitted of any
completely in the despoiling of the
Duke grave. The second charge
was conduct preiudicial to good
order and discipline" The specifica-
lions were % that he participated
in the Dissertation of the grave of one
Humphreys, and (2) failed to exercise
his authority as an officer in not stop
ping the Dissertation and putting the
men so engaged under arrest. On the
first specification, that of having par
ticipated in the Dissertation, he was
acquitted, but on the second specifca-
lion the court found him guilty. The
finding of the court-martial, approved
by Gen. Davis, was that Surgeon Dun
can be deprived of his rank for two
| months, be confined to regimental
camp, and forfeit half his pay for the
same length of time, and that he be
reprimanded by the commanding gem
eral. How DR.. Duncan is to be con-
fined TO regimental camp for two
months when he is now the prisoner of
the sheriff OF Faifax county is difficult
to understand. DR.. Duncan on Sunday
consulted ex-Congressman E. f Mere
| dith, at Manassas, with a view TO en-
gaging his services as consel, but made
no definite arrangements with him.
The penalty for despoiing grave un-
der the Virginia law is Imprisonment
for not more than ten years and not less
than five years.
