CAPTAIN sTEEDMAN GUILTY.
To BE Rcprimanded and Reduced
Fifty Numbers in Rank.

The War Department has just received
from Gen. George W. Davis, in Porto Rico
n copy of the record of the court-martial
of Capt. Richard r. Steedman, of the Elev-
enth Infantry, who was detailed on spe-
cial service in Porto Rico. Captain
Steedman is son of the late Admiral
Steedman., 1t was charged before the
courtmartial that Captain Steedman had
violated the sixty-frst article of war by
disgraceful and scandalous conduct. but
he was adjudged guilty of conduct only to
the prejudice of the military service.
The specifications alleged that Captain
Steedman on September 16 being in uni
form. rode through a public street of San
Juan with two Porto Rican women, Dolo
res Topia alias Lola, and America Men
deZ. and that he became involved in an
alteration with Porto Rican named
Francisco Soils. which led to a fight in
which Captain Steedman was wounded by
pistol ball from a pistol fred by some
one in the crowd.
1t was charged that the captain assault
ed Soils with his cane, but at the trial it
was shown that Captain Steedman had
been assaulted by several Porto Ricans
and that he alighted from the carriage and
struck one of them with his fist. Captain
Steedman pleaded not guilty to all the
charges. The court adjudged him guilty
of the lesser offence In violation OF the
him to be reprimanded in general orders
and to be reduced in rank fifty numbers on
the i!neal list OF captains of infantry
General Davis, in reviewing the case. re-
marked that It appeared that the officer
might have been guilty of the greater Of
fence. but he supposed that the court had
given him the benefit of the doubt. He
added:
"The reviewing authority had hoped
that the accused would have been able to
prove his entire innocence OF any offence.
but his brother officers have held that his
conduct deserves punishment of a repri-
mand in general orders and degradation
in official standing. The sentence is ap-
proved
Captain Steedman has been in somewhat
similar trouble before and upon a former
occasion he was saved from disgrace and
a degradation by the direct appeal OF his
wife to the President Mrs. Steedman is
said to be now in Boston.

EZEGUI CLAIM SETTLED
Morocco Finally Yields to the De-
mands of America.
Consul General Gunnere Notifies the
State Department That the Moor
ish Government Hns Paid the $5,-
900 Indemnity for the Burning of
n Citizen of the United states.

Consul General Gunnere. at Tangiers.
Morocco reported TO the State Depart
ment by telegraph yesterday that the
Moorish Government has paid the $1,000
demanded by the United States for the kill
ing of Marcus Ezegui, naturalized Amer
ican citizen, at Fez. This disposes of an
incident which threatened to disrupt the
friendly relations between Morocco and
the United States.
Notice had been served on Morocco that
she must pay the indemnity, and three
weeks ago the Navy Department assigned
the auxiliary cruiser Dixie to the duty of
backing up Consul General Gunnere's de-
mand for payment. Later the date Of send
ing the warship to Morocco was postponed
until next February, when the great Mo-
bammedan feast of the Moors, which lasts
six weeks, will be over. It will now not be
necessary to send warship to a Moorish
port.
Ezegui was jostled by Moor in the
streets of Fez the official residence of
the Sultan. He resented this, and in
scuffie that ensued. drew a revolver and
shot man in the foot. A mob seized
Ezegui and burned him to death. The
United States Government acquitted the
Government OF Morocco OF responsibility
for Ezegui's death, but insisted that the
leaders of the mob be punished. Morocco
made no effort to apprehend the offenders,
although they were well known, and this
Government, after sufficient length CT
time, made a claim for S. coo on Morocco
for the failure to bring the leaders to JUS
tice.
The Sultan's Government declined to
pay on the ground that Ezegui had for
feited his citizenship by remaining in Mo-
rocco for a period equal to that neces-
sary for him to reside in the United States
to secure citizenship. There is a pro-
vision In the treaty between the civilized
nations, including the United States, for
the protection of foreigners in Morocco.
that Moor abroad who returns to
Morocco must acknowledge the sover-
eighty of the Sultan or quit the country
after he has resided there for a period
equal to the tine OF residence necessary
to obtain naturalization in his adopted
land.
1t takes FIVE years for foreigner to
obtain naturalization in the United
States, and he had resided in Morocco
on his return longer than that time. The
State Department rejected the Moorish
contention. principally on the ground
that Ezegui had not been called on to
quit the country or acknowledge allie

KNEW HIS BUSINESS.
Knew Something Resides What He
Read In Books.

The wise, up-to-date, modern doctor Is
no longer tied down to the hard and fast
rules Of what his medical books say he
shall use and what he may withhold In
treating his patient.
The successful doctor nowadays is the
one who Is quick to avail himself of any
remedy, new or old, which holds out
chance OF cure. no matter whether It is
Allopathic, Homeopathic or neither one.
DR.. Jennison, in an interesting article on
indigestion and dyspepsia, says: Nine
tenths OF all people, who apply to me for
advice and treatment think they have this
ailment or that ailment. but 1 find on
close examination that their whole trouble
arises from poor digestion.
They have little appetite, and IL they
do have an appetite the food they eat does
them no good. Why? Because it is but
half digested, causing thin blood, weak
nerves. sleeplessness aching bones, pains
in chest, formation of gases. belching, etc.
They tell me they believe they have con-
sumption, or heart disease, rheumatism,
nervous prostration, in fact, most every
disease but the right one.
In reality the whole trouble is in the
stomach and nowhere else. Now what /
do with such people? 1 don't feed them on
pre-digested foods like babies. nor "stom-
ach bitters" nor patent nostrums, which
know nothing about No honorable ply
sician will prescribe a remedy unless he
knows what 1t contains and its probable
effects.
For all such patients / have but one pre-
scription, l advise them to go to the near
est drug store and get a 50-cent box Of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. 1 use them
with remarkable success in all cases OF in
digestion and stomach trouble. because
know what Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets con-
sist of and what they will do. They con-
tain the vegetable essences, diastase and
Government test pepsin, which are the
things every weak stomach lacks to re-
store natural digestive vigor, and II had
dyspepsia myself it Is the one remedy I
should take.
When a patient comes to me complain
ing of dull headaches, sour stomach, bad
taste, nervousness. belching OF gas, or
heart trouble, which is generally caused
from indigestion. l tell him to take one or
two OF Stuart's Tablets after each meal
and as often during the day as he has any
trouble, and feel confident have given
that patient the best advice l could give"
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are large,

tase and pepsin combined with fruit and

THE RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
A New Route to He Established at
Pueblo, Col.

Mr.. Clark, of the rural free delivery
system of the Postoffice Department, is in
receipt of report from Special Agent
Amin in regard to the establishment of
free delivery at Pueblo. Col, which pre-
.sents interesting testimony concerning the
great desire for the service. and the in
direct results obtained in the effort to
procure IT.
The original petition for free delivery,
as presented, regarded a service to be es-
tabiished which would cross an unbridged
stream. The county commissioners were
advised that the service could not be es-
tablished under such conditions. II is now
reported that the county commissioners
have bridged the stream with temporary
structure, and have entered into con-
tract for the construction of fine steel
bridge, for the purpose of securing the
rural free delivery service
1t Is probable that the wishes of the
authorities will be met and that the serv-
ice will be established by the 18th of next
