Hunt and explained that the object the visit was
to ask the Government to open a road between
Caguas and San Lorenzo thus enabling the labor
ing classes of the district to get a livelihood He
pointed out that at present there no work of
any kind in that district, and that the people
who were wholly dependent upon their daily earn
ings were without bread and suffering
Mr.. Hunt replied sympathetically and promised
that the Government would do all in its power to
relieve the situation.
The delegation Immediately retired, we'll pleased

COURT-MARTIAL.

washington, Aug. 13.-Copies of orders re-
ceived at the War Department contain the
ncauittal Of Colonel James S. Petit, 3lst Volun-
teer Infantry, who was charged with being
responsible for the death of prisoner named
Juan Ramos by turning him over to the Presi-
dente of Zamboanga. The findings and the
acquittal are disapproved by General Mac
Arthur, who says that, notwithstanding the
alleged character of the prisoner, which tended
70 reveal him as guerilla or outlaw, he was
nevertheless entitled to protection and to have
his guilt determined in the regular way by war
tribunal. Although the acquittal is disapproved
there was nothing further for General Mac
Arthur TO do. and he restored Colonel Petit to
his regiment.
A board consisting of five Army officers has
been appointed to make a report upon classi-
8cation of all persons employed in the puonc
service in Manila This is for the purpose OF
establishing a proper uniformity in the COM
pensation Of such employees. Another order

Ventions instead Of by referendum vote. Secre-
