BLoTTING OUT A SPOT.
(Baltimore Americon

Zen years ago Captain Bowman II.
McCalla, u. S. N. was tried by court
martial and convicted of striking n
sailor with the back of his sword His
Tor three years and the loss of ten
numbers in rank. 1t was shown that
the officer was unable to control his
temper, and thus the punishment was
made severe. Though the captain and
his devoted wife made every effort TO
nave congress reduce or remit the SEN
tence, they met with failure, though
PRESIDENT Harrison agreed to q short
ening of the term of Suspension. When
the war with Spain broke out McCalla
saw that the opportunity had come for
MIN TO prove that he was fit to be an
officer in the navy of the United
states. at his own request he was
given command OF the cruiser Marble
mead, and brave work did he do around
santiago and Guantanamo. He was
Tisht IN the thick of the trouble all

rotary OF the Navy, tells how McCalla.
not willing to send the men ashore in
charge of an officer of marines. az he
might have done. took command of
them himself, and led the whole OF the
allied forces on their march of relief
to PelSin. On the way, with McCalla
In command and at the head of the lit
tie band. they met and fought imperial
troops. and in the battle the brave
McCalla was wounded. Fortunately.
the wound was not a severe one, and
the captain is still on duty praised
by the Admiral and honored by all the
men under his command.
After his good work in the war with
Spain Captain McCalla received from
President Mckinley full and uncon-
ditional pardon. which restored him to
his former rank and position. He has
been giving to his country n conspcu-
Gus service. His fault ten years ago
was due to unbridled temper. Severe
ly was he punished for 1t. and the
penalty left a blot upon his record.
That blot has now been wiped out. and
Captain Bowman II. McCalla must
now be counted one of the bravest Of
flcers in the whole navy of the United
States.
