BRANDED AS COWARDS.
Officers of Seventy first New York Re
ceive a Severe Sentence.


As a result Of the court of inquiry which
investigated the conduct of the Seventy
first New York regiment in the Santiago
campaign, the fact is developed that Maj.
Smith, who was lieutenant colonel of the
volunteer regiment Capt. Whittle, who
was major in that command, and Maj.
Austin of the staff of Brig. Gen. Smith,
who commanded a company in the regi-
ment, were all guilty of cowardice when
the order came to move to the front.
1t will be remembered that the refusal
Of the Seventy-first's officers to move for
ward under fire, from the Spanish in
trenchments was a signal for the rough
riders, who charged through the New
York regiment and on toward the muzzles
of the enemy's guns. While the report Of
the court is severe on the officers named,
it exonerates the soldiers, every man Of
whom was ready to move on the enemy.

Trial OF the Peunsylvanisn Resuits In

The jury In the case Of former United
States Senator Quay, on trial for conspir-
ing to use for his own unlawful gain and

guilty" Following quickly upon the YER
