LoVE-MAkING on GUARD DrTF.
Naval Court-5Iartial Decides That 1t Il
Not n Violation of Military Inv.

WASHINGTON. July 20.-A naval court mar
tial. the record OF which has just been re-
ceived at the Navy Department, has decided
tho question whether an enlisted man on
guard is ncglncting his duty in making love to
girl. Corporal Tom Scanlon OF the Marine
Corps was the accused man. Corporal Scanlon
was marching his beat outside OF an officers
residence at the League Island Navy Yard.
near Philadelphia when a servant maid in the
officers household joined him. The officer
came upon the couple suddenly, much TO the
confusion Of both as Corporal Scanlon had his
arm around the maids waist. Charges OF un-
soltierly conduct and neglect Of duty were
preferred ny the officer against Corporal Scan
Ion. A court martial was ordered. much to the
an IrishmRn and a soldier, could not under
stand why he was not privileged to make love
to a pretty girl at all times.
Several interesting questions were Involved
In the case. Was 1t uusodierly to make love to
a girl while on guard? Was Corporal Scanlon
protecting public or private property in stand
Ing guard before an officers residence? Can a
soldier keep his arm around u girl and his eve
on property which he is charged with guard
ing at the same time? The court did not un-
dertake to qpswer these questions except by
guilty on all charges and specifications. which
that lovemaking and guard duty at the same
time are not ncOns istent with military law.
The department evidently ipdorses this View
as Secretary Long has approved the verdict OF
the court martial and ordered that Corporal
Scanlon be restored to duty.

WASHINGTON. July 29.-President Mckin-
leys approval of the conduct OF Major Gen.
Otis has caused great satisfaction in military
circles. The Presidents despatch was trans
mitted through Secretary AlRer and part OF it
was substantially as foows
The President directs mo to say that he Is
perfectly satisfied with tho work you have nc
complshed, and believes you have done as well
as could have been done under tho circum.
stances"
In answer Gen. Otis sent a long despatch.
Officials are willing to make public onlya small
portion OF 1t. That PORTION was practically in
these words:
Il appreciate very much the confidence the
President has expressed in me. and assure tho
President that l have no other ambition or
thought than to fulfil the Presidents instruc-
tions. With the plans now Eaturcd l believe
that We can suppress the rebellion In rea-
sonably short time with honor to tho United
States and satisfaction to the President"
Gen. Otis also referred to the cruelty OF the
Filipnos in warfare and their inability to
recognize the benefits OF republican institu-
tions. He said that military operl lions were
suspended solely on account OF tho weather
and the exchange Of State troops for regulars.
and that his colleagues on the Philippines Com
mission supported his views in civil and mill
tary matters.
