WEST THREW THE BOMB.
wouldn't Take Charge of Commits
sary Depot Until He Saw Stores.

washington, April 29.-Copies of Ma
Mia papers a month old have been re-
ceived at the war department, contain
ing stories of the discoveries. OF irregu-
larities in. the matter of commissary
stores. 1t appears fronas these. accounts
that Major West, who was sent to Ma
Mia to be depot commissarg. would
not. accept charge OF the depot until
the stores either were shown upon in
voice-or accounted for. This led TO an
investigation. and some of the enlisted
men and civilians employed about the
conmissarys store house were arrested.
The Manila police made the rounds OF
the city, and found quite large
amount of commissary supplies IN diff
ferent places. Much OF tfffs could be
accounted for by the sale Of savings on
rations, but this saving, &it appeared,
could not be disposed of to general buy
ers, for an order in force in the Phflip-
pines directs the return to the depart
ment of stores of savings, which viii be
paid for at the rate of cost to the. gov
eminent. This would be a much less
profit than could be obtained by dealing
with merchants and contractors. The
papers received here simply enlarge
upon the cable reports.

AT the beginning of the trial. counsel
for the defendant objected to the jur-
lsdictiQn of the court, alleging that I'M
der an act promulgated ia 1901 officers
OF the regular esta blishnent are eligible
as members OF the scOur5martial to try
an officer of volunteers. The defense
Iurtner denied that a state of war ex-
isted in Manila today. and alleged that
the provost marshal, General, George
w Davis, is unauthorized to convene a
general cOuEtTiaftial and intinat ting
that as General Macarthur virtually
preferred the Charges against Captain
Reed, the orders directing his trial by
courtmartial should come from Wash
ingtOn. The defense further objected to
the fact that several members of the
court were Of inferior rank 10 Captain
Reed. All these objections were over
ruled. and the hearing of testimony was
begun.
Mr.. SchindIers$ manager of the AS
nanbra cigar factory testified that IN
November Captain Reed had told him
that Major George Is. Davis, who WAS
the depot eOmTnissaryt before Captain
Reed, but who was sent to the United
StStes on sick leave, and whose name

pot commisSary at Manila.
An officer named Franklin, who was

obtained $1,000 from Major Davis. and
paid this money over to SCHNEIDER.
