OTIS Is MERCIFUL
TO CONDEMNED MEN

WASHINGTON, Aug. PA report just
received by the War Department from
General Otis gives details of the court
martial proceedings in number of
cases.
In one case three officers of the Span
ish army in charge of the Presidio of Ma
Mia were accused of embezzling large
amounts. The commandant of the Prest-
dio, Carlos Aymerich, was acquitted, but
Captain Zorita was found guilty of en-
bezzling s10,54S and Adjutant Ruiz was
found guilty of embezzling like
amount. They were sentenced to con-
finement at hard labor for three years,
but General Otis reduced the sentence to
six months, owing to the confinement
they had already served. One of the
Spanish prisoners of war, Rafael Albert,
was convicted of having brutally muir
dered another soldier and was sentenced
TO be hanged. The sentence was disap-
proved on technical grounds and the
Spanish soldier continues TO be held
One of the court-martial cases gives
the acQuittal of an American volunteer
officer and several soldiers on the charge
of having looted a house at Iloilo and
taking furniture and crockery, silver
ware, jewelry, etc, at the time of the
occupation OF. the city. In another, case
a Filipino native was found guilty of kill
ing a Chinese and sentenced to be
hanged, but General Otis disapproyed the
finding.
General Otis in general order No. 9 di-
rects that the troops give particular at
tention to furnishing full protection TO
the lives and property of all German in
habitants of the Islands. AS the Consul
of Germany is looking TO the security Of
the Swiss, Austrian, italian and Portu-
guese residents, injunction was given to
furnish similar protection to these peo-
pie.
General Otis desire TO prevent disorder

HERBERT SPENCER Is
OPPOSED TO WAR
Shooting Down of Beers Placed in the
Light Of Unnecessary
Murder

NEW YORK. Aug. PA Journal ca
ble from London says Herbert Spencer
is known to have views that arestrong-
ly opposed by those of the British Gov
ernment regarding the advisability of a
coercion policy in the Transvaal Thus
far, however, all efforts that have been
made by his radical friends to place be-
fore the public an authorized opinion
on the subject from England's greatest
thinker have been unavailing.
Mr.. Spencer can easily plead the
breakdown of his health as a good rea-

ciple, Aubron Herbert, who is versed
in the mind and beliefs of the master,
has spoken out regarding the question
in a letter issued to-day. He writes
quite in the vein of an American anti
imperialist, and says:
We have come to this point that
the Government is looked on as the
owner Of everything in a country, in
cluding the minds and consciences,
bodies and material possessions, and
with almost Eastern resignation we al
low it, unchallenged and unquestioned,

Suppose the Government succeeds in
committing US to this war Then when
we are engaged in shooting down a race
who have many real virtues, and whose
faults are chiefly the old-time faults
Of narrowness, prejudice and that be-
lief in privilege which has existed
everywhere in every nation from the
days of the Greeks, who rested their
republic on slavery, up to our own day;
suppose it should gradually dawn upon
us that the shooting down of these men
was d bit of unnecessary murder just
one more blood-stained blunder in the
game which our restless and unscrup-
ulous politicians play?"

the Island of Jersey, but this story
proved to be without foundation. Early
this morning the gendarmes were still
posted outside of the residence of Cen
eral St Germain, military commander
of this district, with whom General
Mercier has been staying during the
trial. Their presence indicated that he
was still there, and in reply to ques-
tions they declare that they had not
seen him leave the grounds.
This afternoon he was undoubtedly
at home. although he declined to re-
ceive callers. No one who has studied
his character and methods believes that
General Mercier would flee at the pros
pect of arrest. He has altogether too
much doggedness in his composition.

Georges Clemenceau, said to-day:
Thus far the trial has been used as a
vehicle for personal justifcations. OBJ
viously most of the witnesses felt the
necessity OF justifying Themselves before
the public, and frequently in vain effort
to do this have lost sight Of the main
issue.
up to the present the obvious Scotch
verdict not proven applies to the case.
The only result thus far is to show the
weakness Of the prosecution and perhaps
settle both parties more violently in their
respective attitudes.
The court, being composed Of laymen,
approaches the case in a different mental
state from lawyers. Laymen admit senti-
ment to cases. Lawyers invariably ward
off all that is immaterial to the question
at issue. If this principe were applied
to the evidence adduced at Rennes
microscope would be needed to find what
remains.
If Dreyfus be fairly tried by the exist
ing legal machinery the trial should
satisfy all Dreyfus is legally innocent
until legally proven guilty. Thus far there
is no such proof. Should he be recon
demned the Court of Cessation can again
review the law of the case and decide il
there has been any legal informality in

has decided to prosecute the Eclaire for
the publication of the "Canaille de

ments secretly communicated to the
Dreyfus court-martial of 1894 and which
has been shown not to refer to Captain
Dreyfus at all. The object of the Gov

is that the communication was made by
Colonel Du Patty de Clam, or possibly
by General Gonse. The publication oc-
CURED three years ., but under the
law prosecution may be maintained at

years.
The Government has issued orders
for the prosecution of a contributor to
the Eclaire and NJ. Hassard, director of

with having printed perversion of the
"Canaille de D." document as that
beast Of a Dreyfus is really becoming
too exacting.'
