FEWER COURTS-MARTIAL.
Report of the Judge Advocate Gen.
eral of the Army.


Gen. George B. Davis, judge advocate
general of the army, has submitted report
Of the operations of the judge advocate
generals department during the past fiscal
year. 1t shows that during that time there
were 6,065 trials by courts-martial a re-
duction of 800 compared with the record of
the previous fiscal year. OF this years
/ cases 16 were commissioned officers, Of
whom 10 were convicted. OF the enlisted
men tried, 1906 were regulars and 1,167
were volunteers.
The number of men sentenced to dishon-
orable discharge was 2,22S, of whom ,S95
were regulars and 333 volunteers. Death
sentences were imposed by sentence of
court-martial in the cases of six enlisted
men, four Of whom were charged with
murder and two with desertion. Except in
one case of murder, the death sentences
were commuted by the President to dis
honorable discharge, forfeiture Of all pay
and allowances and Imprisonment for life
in three cases. for seven years imprison-
ment in one case and for five years i'm
prisonment in another case.
The records of military commissions in
the Philippines during the year show that
9SG persons were tried, OF which number
723 were convicted; 202 were acquitted, and
the sentences in 40 cases were diSapproved.
Death sentences were imposed by military
commissions in about 242 cases fnearly all
natives of the Philippine Islands) on con-
viction Of the more serious crimes, and the
sentences were executed in about 1Ol cases.
In most of the remaining cases the SEN
tences were conimutedf to Imprisonment for
terms varying from fifteen years to life I'M
prisonment, while In q few cases the SEN
tences were commuted to Imprisonment for
from five to tensyeafss and in few cases
the sentences were disapproved or set aside.
A table OF the charges against persons
tried by courtSfhartia during the past
year, which accompanies the report shows
that the charge of nairder leads, the num-
Der of such cases being BIZ Violation of
the laws and usages of war follows, with
151 cases, while thef charge of robbery
comes next, with 1O6 cases.
Upon the Recommendation Of the depart
ment the eighty4third article of war, which
defines the jurisdiction of the several in
| ferfor courts in efespect to their power to
| punish, was amended iby the act of March
2, 1901, in such, a way as to permit those
| tribunals to impose sentences of three
months forfeiture of pay or three months
| confinement at hard labor, or both, at the
| discretion of the court. Gen. Davis says
| the operation of this enactment has been to
| simplify the administration of military JUS
| tice and to make it unnecessary to refer
| a considerable number of cases to general
| courts-martial for trial. which, prior to the
| adoption of the amendment. were exclusive
| ly trfable by such tribunals. In this re-
| spect it has fully justified the expectations
which were entertained as to its necessity
| and propriety when the matter was pre-
sented to Congress.

ed to the mayor OF Pisa that Cooks
circus from England would pass
through the town aud that ! desired
him to announce 1t by bulletin on the
Marie and any points where the pub
lie would see the notice, that they
might extend to the troupe q hearty
welcome.
Not suspecting Joke. the mayor
did as l suggested, aud when we ar
rived, entered the coaches and drove
in procession through the town the
streets were thronged with spectators,
who now and then sent up dellrious
cheers and shouted 'yivas' in demon
strative fashion. Mr.. Cook Il rode in
his carrlage) was astounded at the
enthusiasm OF the Inhabitants and was
puzzled to know how they knew the
English tourists were coming, rs he
had only communicated with the sta
ton master regarding the vehicles.
"Of course. MS the author OF the little
comedy, could not enllghten him. and
when my American friend and called
on the mayor to thank him for his
courteous attention to my requests he
gently inquired where the horses were.
as the inhabitants would prefer TO
have seen us mounted My Yankee
partner in the sell was equal TO the
occasion, and. as he spoke n little Ital-
ian. he informed the official that the
horses were so numerous they would
come on by later train.
THE secret was well kept, and. as
Mr.. Cook and none of the tourists were
llnguists and as we only remained in
Pisa three hours. they all departed in
wondcrmcnt rs to why their advent
had earned such extraordinary e1-

The Belgian Hare.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
have read with some little interest the
remarks made by Col. John g. Egan Of
Seattle on the Belgian hare mania The
interview shows great ignorance OF the in
tents and purposes Of the industry on his
part, and a number Of the friends Of the
Belgian hare In this city have asked me
to make reply to it.
= Mr.. Egan says: 1.-THE craze has died out
as suddenly as 1t commenced, and the
hares that once commanded fabulous prices
are now being killed for food" He evil
IDENTIFY does not know that the only value
that has ever been claimed for the Belgian
is as a meat supply. 1t is very produc-
tive source of the finest meat now obtain
able, excelling beef and rivaling the finest
chickens, quail and frog saddles. 1t Is due
to this fact the breeding animals bring
such high prices. What value is there in a
Shorthorn or Hereford BULL except as a
meat producer? And yet, individual speci-
mems of these two breeds brought from
81, 900 to 5000 each at the mid-continental
show held in Kansas City last fall.
Mr. Egan says that the fad started a lit
tie more than a year ago, and that soon
after few ambitious souls imported pedi-
greed hares from Europe. There have been
fine pedigreed imported hares in California
since 1897, and as there were none In this
country previous to that time, they were,
Of course, imported. Mr.. Egan is correct
when he said that hundreds were added to
the ranks of Belgian hare breeders every
day; all Of the people that live In that part
Of the United States are not mossbacks, II
