Washington, May IA court of in
quiry has been ordered to meet in
Washington. May 81. composed of Ad-
mirals Rodgers, Cotton and Perry, to
investigate the circumstances attend
ing the shooting by Capt. McGown of
a Filipino near the United States ship
Monadnock in the harbor of Cebu,
Nov. 81 1899, and also the alleged fail
ure of the captain to report the mat
ter to the COMMUNICATIVE chief of the
Asiatic squadron.
The facts in the case as reported to
the navy department are that while
the officer was on the deck of his ship,
a native boat, which had been warned
away, was lowering about. The native
had been attempting to smuggle rum
aboard and the commanding officer
had given orders that no unauthorized
native boats should be permitted to
approach the Monadnock. When this
particular craft failed to make off as
required. the captain himself sought
to brighten the crew by firing a re-
volver shot across their bows. Unfor
tunately. the shot striking the water
was detected so as to pass through
the body of one of the Filipinos. The
wounded man was hauled aboard the
the Monadnock and after first being
given aid. was sent to a short hospi-
tai, where he died.
This incident was referred to in the
press reports from Manila and after
waiting a reasonable period Of time to
be officially Informed. the navy de
partment made inquiry of Admiral
Watson who responded that the mat
ter had not been reported to him
This omission on the part of Capt. Nc
GoWan is one Of the matters into which
the court is to inquire. the other be
ing the propricty of the action of the
commanding officer of the Monadnock
in taking into his own hands the exc
cution # an order u fire instead of
calling upon a marine or sailor to do
so.
Capt. MCGOWAN is broken in health
as the result of service on board of the
monitor in the harbOr # Manila and
has an application to be permitted I'M
der the terms Of the act allowing re
tircmcnt with an advance in grade, but
his application has not been granted,
owing to the fact that the personnel
act does not sanction any more retire
ments Of captains during the present
fiscal year.
