dent that II Gen. Leonard Wood had been
In command of the forces at Manila there
would have bs,n no war; or, II there
had been, 1t would not have lasted more
than six weeks. This statement was
made TO the President before the report
OF the commission was witt n, which
Admiral Dewey signed and which de-
clared among ether things tnat the war

Washington Star Is misinformed or Ad

FLOGGING SILL IN THE BIRTHS
NAVY.
(From the London Truth


On Sept as Thomas MoGeshan. lats
seoond-olass leading stoker on her Msjes-
ty's ship Doris. was logged at Simon's
Town for the offense Of inAlingering.
The report OF the circumstances, which
appeared In The Western Morning News
of Oct. "a, is not very lucid, but gather
from 1t that the malingering took placs
while the man was undergoing q sem
tenos of Imprisonment on the Penelope
for striking . chief stoker. A "medical
survey" was first held on the accused.
which presumably resulted In q finding
that he had ben shamming sickness. On
this board of three officers sentsnced the
man to eighteen lashss. "After receiving
eleven lAshes." said the report. "the pris-
oner became insensibIe. and the medical
officer present (ths stat Surgeon of the
Monarchy stopped the cruel proceeding
and the wretchsd man was borne bleed
ing and senssless to his cell. There
docs not appear. therefore. to be any
suggestion that he was malingering this
time.

one possessed of ordinary human feeling

whether In the navy or elsewhere. for
certain peculiarly brutal CLASSES of
crime, opinion may differ. But the Idea
of logging q man senseless fer suoh a
trumpery offense as that Of pretending
sickness In order to svade prison disci-
pline 10 rsvolting to the most elementary
feelings of justice and humanity. The
reader will note that this poor wretch
was sentenced (by three officers com :
manding her Majesty's ships and with
the approval of the comm andsr In chief
on tine station) to receive eighteen lashes.
and what that punishment would have
meant, had it been carried out, may be
judged from the fact that the man had
become sensleess from pain and medical
officer had to interfere before two-thirds
of the sentence had been executed. Suon
q result considered In conjunction With
tn, paltry character OF the "orime" for
which this mIrderous penalty was I'M

1t is quite true that the United States

that 1t intends TO stay there. The fat
shat such declaration can be repealed
constitutes no argument against 1t, any
more than did the fact that our declars-
tion of policy in regard to Cuba could be
repealed makes that OF no value. The

that one is apt to fe,l that nothing new
can be written about 1t. But Mr.. John
