General Bates Reprimands the Court
for It's Light Punishment.

1enerni Bates Reprfmands the Court
for It's Light Punishment.
Information has reached the War De-
partment of the trial by general court
martial Of Second Lieutenant Frank A.
Nay, of the Thirtyfrst Michigan Volun-
teer Infantry, that was stationed in the
department of Santa Clara, Cuba
The court was presided over by Lieut..
Col. William C. Bulger, Sixth Ohio In
fantry. The charges against Lieutenant
Nay were drunkenness on duty and con-
duct uDbecoming an officer and a gentle
men. There were five specifications and
the accused was found not guilty of all
the specifications except one, not guilty of
drunkenness on duty and conduct unbe-
coming an officer and a gentleman, but
guilty of conduct prejudicial to good order
and military discipline, for which offence
he was sentenced to be fined one months
pay and be publically reprimanded by his
commanding officer.
In general order issued by Maj Louis
V. Caziark, the Assistant Adjuttant Gen
eral OF the Department of Santa Clara, the
| following remarks are made by command
of Major General Bates, the commanding
officer of the department:
THE reviewing authority, General Bates,
is of the opinion that the evidence justified
a finding OF guilty substantially as charged.
However, rather than have justice wholly
| fail the findings and the inadequate SEN
tence are approved, and the latter will be
executed. No reprimand to the accused
| can be more severe than a simple recital
| of his misconduct as recorded in the evil
| dence. This officer was in command of a
| provost guard in the town of Rodrigo and
/ therefore was directly charged with the
! keeping of public order; and concerning
| the conduct of his guard and himself, was
under especial obligations 10 respect the
weak, ignorant, and helpless of that COM
munity. About p m. this officer started
in full fellowship with one or more of the
enlisted men in his command, more or
! less intoxicated, to seek the companionship
of prostitutes. Pursuing this design he
entered with arms and the use of more or
| less force five or six houses, the decent
| character of whose inmates is not i'm
pugned by one word of evidence, invaded
| the sleeping apartments of women and
! children, and in at least one instance be-
haved with grossest indecency toward
woman lying in bed with her baby. That
men were maltreated and women and chill
dren were terrified admits of no doubt from
the evidence. Even the dead were not re-
spected for the accused, following his
| guide. entered a house where a corpse
was lying and drawing the cloth from the
face of the dead made some edifying re-
marks in broken Spanish. From this con-
| duct the court has attempted in its find
ings to remove the stigma of 'unbecoming
an officer and a gentleman and 1t is the
duty of the reviewing authority to dissent
most strongly from this view and to de-
clare that the courts standard of conduct
is not that of the Army. Lieutenant Nay
Will be released from arrest, and this
court SO unequal to its duty, is dissolved"

C. W. Dove. of New Whatcom, Washing

ing the expansion policy as viewed by
the people on the Coast, he said. last night:
Every business man in California, Ore
gon, and Washington is in favor of the ex-
pansion policy in its largest meaning, in
favor of the retention of the Philippines,
and the extension of the American power
and the American commerce in the Orient
generally. There are one or two opponents
to these ideas, of course, but they are in
such great minority that they will make
no figure whatever in Coast politics. The
Coast people know from actual, profitable
experience what the value OF the new
American policy will be- Already there is
a great and growing business with Japan.
China, and Australia, greater probably
than Eastern people have any idea Of
Washington, as an instance, raised 80 90O,-
000 bushels of wheat last year and almost
the entire crop was sent to the Orient.
Hardly bushei was sold east OF the
Rockies. The Chinese and Japanese are
only just learning what flour is, and they
will make magnificent market for Ameri-
can wheat. Oregon sent the Orient almost
as large wheat crop, not to mention Call
fornia. We are making also very large
shipments OF lumber and of canned salmon
TO Japan. China, and Australia and in each
OF these big products of the Coast States
the trade is growing rapidly. But this
portion of our business is, of course, only
one way in which we would benefit by an
increase of the Pacific trade. Nearly all
the exports of the country would pass
through our ports and cross the Pacific on
our steamship lines"

Jules Pharazyn, of Belgium, and Emilio
Etabelin, of Switzerland, who are return
ing from an extended stay in Mexico, are
at the st. James. Mr.. Pharazyn is the
engineer who has been making extensive
improvements on the Monterey and Gulf
Railroad, one of the chief roads of Mexico.
He has put iron bridges on the entire line
from Monterey to the Gulf of Tampico.
The road is owned almost entirely by Bel
gian capitalists, who have very large prop
erty interests in Mexico. The recent
revival of business in Mexico has inspired
them with the hope that their investments,
which have not been particularly profita-
BILE up to this time, may do better in the
near future. and they are making improve
ments in several directions. 1t is under
stood that an extension of the Monterey
and Gulf road to Mexico City is in contem-
plation. Mr.. PharaZyn said last night OF
the Mexican workmen who came under his
notice: The wages paid are very small.
but living is cheap. At the same time the
condition of he.laboring classes, and espe-
cially the agricultural classes, is most un-
fortunate. In the iron works the skilled
workmen get the equivalent OF so cents to
81 in American money a day. The farm
laborers rarely receive more than % cents
day. But this small pay is the least part
of their troubles. As matter of fact, in
many OF the rural districts they are vir-
tually slaves. The farmers sell them
everything that they use, food, clothing,
and fuel at extortionate prices, and they
are always in debt. The laws side with the
farm owners by making it compulsory for
a laborer TO remain with his employer as
long as he is in debt. In this way they re-
main in debt and unable to improve their
condition from the beginning to the end OF
their lives"
