CAPT. CARTER COURT-MARTIAL.

appears 10 deserve acceptance, the record
and findings OF the Carter court-martial.

Of the Secretary of War. to whom they
had been sent in due course by the judge
advocate-general to be in turn transmit
ted 10 the President, have been for a
month past in New York, in charge OF
eminent counsel employed by the friends
of Captain Carter. The judge-advocate-
general can give no information about the
case in any way. His duty was dis
charged when he went over the trial and
findings to see whether the accused officer
had had a fair trial.
If the sentence of dismissal from the
service. Imprisonment, and heavy fine re-
ported to have been imposed Wefe hy him
regarded as unjust or excessive, he proba-
bly so reported. The Secretary of War,
on receipt Of the findings, had but one
duty 10 perform. II Captain Carter was
sentenced TO dismissal and the advocate
general considered the sentence justified
by the evidence the Secretary pf War was
expected merely 10 indorse the findings
and send them to the President for his
approyal, as without this the sentence of
dismissal would De imperative.
The remarkable surrender OF the papers
TO the accused. TO be held by him for
more than a month, strikes many persons

GOMEZ REMOVES GARCIA.
LATTER Punished for That Letter OF
His to Shafter.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA August 3i.-
General Garcia has been relieved Of his
command by General Gomez. acting un-
der instructions from the provisional gov
ernment.
This is owing to disapproyal Of his ac-
tion during the Shafter incident and in
view OF the fact that Garcia is persona
non grata to the American Government.
At the commencement of the war the
Cuban officers were ordered to put them
selves under the orders Of the American
commanders, and the letter of Garcia to
Shafter is looked upon as breach Of dis
cipline.
His resignation is not accepted, but he
is relieved Of his command. General Iiod-
riguez commanding in the East under
Gomez, will succeed him.

FELL THROUGH THE sKyLIGHT.
Terrible Death of IL SiS-Ycar-0ld
Roy,

The deadly skylight caused little Johnny
Signaigo, the 6-year-old son of Mr.. James
Signaigo, to lose his life at No. S2l east
Broad street, yesterday afternoon.
Johnnys parents reside on the second
floor of No. Sl9 east Broad. and ne and a
little companion were playing in the Sc
cond story, while some paper hangers
were at work on the same floor OF No.
s2l One Of the workmen called to Johnny
10 bring him a broom. The boy climbed
over the railing of the porch. and on 10
the roof OF the house next door. This
front portion Of the house is three stories
high. but the roof onto which Johnny
climbed covers the back portion, which
is only one story. He handed the broom
20 the workman, and in stepping back
went too far and onto the skylight.
Though his weight was slight 1t was
too much for the fragile glass. II gave
way with a crash, and the boy was
hurled TO the floor below. a distance Of
about twenty feet.
Passersby on the street could see him
lying on the floor at the rear end Of the
storeroom. and crowd quickly gathered.
several fremen from the BrOad-Street
Engine House rushing over. There was a
delay OF ten or fifteen minutes in effect
ing an entrance to the building, which
was locked. having recently been vacated
by the Trading Stamp concern. The
glass of one OF the doors was finally
broken in and willing arms lifted the
bruised and bleeding body and bore ii
next door to Mr.. SgnaigOs rooms.
The ambulance, with DR.. Brown In
charge. was quickly on the sence. An
examination showed the injuries were
such as would certainly prove fatal The
skull at the base OF the brain was crush
ed in. one arm was broken near the wrist,
and his entire body was more or less cut
and bruised.
The accident occurred at few minutes
before 2 o'clock. and at o'clock Johnny
was dead without having regained con
sciousness.
Johnny was the eldest of the three
children of Mr.. and Mrs. James Signiago
and was a boy Of unusual intelligence
His father is the billiard marker AT Muir
phy's The funeral will take place from
ST Peters Cathedral this afternoon at Q
o'clock. The interment will be made IN
Mt. Calvary Cemetery.

ALGnR NOT INDIFFERENT.
He IL Only Fearful Of Eject Of Com
pIainfs on Europe.


WASHINGTON, August SIT cannot
be said that Secretary Alger is Indifferent
to the many sensational stories that are
being printed as 10 the conditions that
prevail in the great military camps, for
his first interest lies in the welfare Of the
individual troops. But he said to-day that
with n full knowledge Of the lack Of
foundation for most Of these stories, he
deprecated such publications, not because
Of fear that the American people would
be mistaken i'm their understanding Of the
actual facts. but rather from an appre-
hension Of the evil effect such publica-
tions would produce abroad.
There, the people, who with their full
military training. knew just what hard
ships must be encountered BY troops i'm a
campaign. and especially in military
camps and manOeuyres, would regard with
amused surprise the innumerable COM
plants that are pouring in upon the gov
ernment here. upon preteXts that would
be disregarded entirely in Europe, and
they could scarcely fail TO gain the i'm
preston that the American people are
lacking in soldierly qualities.

CHICAGO MANS APPETITE.
Ate Thirtv-two Meals i'm One Day and
Accused wife of starving Him.

Chicago. March 15.-August Kemp
ner, of this city, ate thirty-two meals
in one day, and then, 1t is said, up
braided his wife and family because
they allowed him to starve. Kempner,
according to the evidence produced in
police court yesterday, spends consid-
erable of his time in a saloon near his
home, but frequently he takes time to
rush to his home and call for his meals.
This happened so frequently during the
day that his wife has time to do moth
ing else but prepare meals for her hus-
band. While others sleep Kempner still
eats, and then he complained that his
wife and his son and daughter were
slowly starving him to death.
Yesterday Kempner again proceeded
to eat everything in the house, and
when all was gone he grew angry. and,
il is charged, attacked his wife, smashed
half dozen windows, hurled lighted
lamp across the room. and did other
things. Justice Dooley ordered him
placed in a cell to remain there one
week,
