CUBAN COURT-MARTIAL
SENTENCES A DESERTER TO BE
HANGED
General Wood Makes Remark or Two
and the Sentence Is Not Car
ried Out

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Nov. 5.-An in
cldent has occurred here which is causing
much talk among the Cubans, and may
create i'll feeling. The Cuban general,
Perez, who has half dozen times an
nounced his intention to disband the troops
under his command, but has not yet done so.
recently ordered the trial by court-martial
OF one OF his men on charge of deserting
from the army i'll time of war. The prls-
oner was condemned to death, but before
the sentence was executed notification was
sent to Colonel Ray, of the Third immune
regiment, who laid the matter before Gen
eral Wood, commander of the department OF
Santiago.
General Perez was at once informed that
II the man was executed, he and the firing
party would be hanged as soon as the courts
could legally sentence them. He was in
structed that if a man committed crime
punishable under the civil law he should be
turned over to the proper authorities, who
would look into the case, but was told that
under no circumstances would tribunals like
those OF the present lnsurgent army be al
lowed to try cases and sentence prisoners to
death, or even to imprisonment.
Furthermore, Perez was notified that the
man now under sentence of death must be
turned over to the American authorities if
there was a charge against him, or be re-
leased
