TRIAL BY coURT-MART1AL.
Recommended by Court of Inquir,
for American Officers Az
rested Mt Venice.

Washington, June THE navy de-
partment Saturday morning gave out
the following statement concerning
the court of inquiry which investigated
] the case of the American officers ar
| rested at Venice:
"The court of inquiry recommends trial
by court-martial of Lieut.. John S. Dod-
bridge, U. S. N; Capt Robert F. Wynne,
U. S. M c., and Assistant Surgeon Robert
e. Ledbetter, U. S. N. on the charge of
unbecoming behavior In public, and that no
further action be taken in the case Of
Naval Cadet James c. Kress, ". S. N, and
Private Wilfred Langley U. S. NJ C. Ad-
miral Crowninshield has disapproved the
opinion and recommendation of the court
of inquiry where it is adverse to the officers
on the ground that the evidence is not suffi-
cient."
There will be no further proceedings
in this case, according to the present
intention of the officials. The
grounds upon which Admiral Crownin-
shield disapproved the finding, namely,
theinsutficiency of evidence, would not,
it is believed, give any cause for offense
to the Italian government The ad-
| miral does not find that the Italian
court erred, but he does find that, sit
uated as the Chicago is, it is not posi-
BILE to secure the evidence which would
Justify the assembling of court-mar-
tial
The decision of the navy department
to refrain from carrying the case fur
Their is based entirely upon cabled
and consequently brief report of the
action of the court of inquiry and of
Admiral Crowninshied's disapproval

ing Made,

London, June 7.-Lord Kitchener, in
dispatch from Pretoria, dated Satur-
day, announced that the progress made
in the surrender of the Beers is entire
ly satisfactory. Four hundred and
forty burghers have laid down their
arms at Middleburg, Trarsvaal. They
also brought in pom-pom complete,
with ammunition, and indicated the
hiding place of a howitzer and Maxim
gun.
Two hundred and eighty-nine Beers
have surrendered their arms at Stand
erton, Transvaal, and Lord Kitchener
confirms the report that 255 Beers, Of
whom a1o were rebels. surrendered at
Cradock, Cape Colony.
Many more surrenders were expect
ed Saturday. All the Beers who sur
rendered in Cape Colony expressed
themselves as being rejoiced at the fact
that peace had been arranged.
Capetown, June 1.-THE surrender
Of more than 1900 Beers has already
been reported, covering various points.
Commandant Fouche brought into
Cradock, Cape Colony, his commando,
consisting of SO Free Staters and 219
rebels. Fouche is i'll.
Commandant Conroy's men, on hear
ing that peace had been concluded,
threw their hats in the cir, cheered for
King Edward and sang God Save the
King"

pressed that the Cape Colony COM

peace terms.

them to make the best of the situation
and to forget and forgive the past. He
pointed out the hopelessness Of con-
tinuing the struggle; urged the Beers
to accept and act in accordance with
the terms Of surrender, which he in
tended to uphold. and desired them to
work for the good of South Africa.

themselves. Residents of Brentwood
carried the others to convenient
houses or placed them on neighbor-
ing lawns until physicians arrived.

of the accident. A list of the injured

tas district Saturday. 1t is estimated
that about 500 men are on strike
Other mines are crippled, and only
working with reduced forces. The
miners of the Tug River fields which
are on the West Virginia side have
struck. Several thousand men are emf
ployed in these fields. The Norfolk &
Western officials say they do not con-
slider the strike in this territory to be
of serious nature and expect that the
operations now tied up will resume
work within ten days. Coal was be-
ing loaded in the fields Saturday, but
the shipments were not up to the aver
age number of cars. So far there has
been no reports of violence among the
strikers. "Mother" Jones, the famous
Pennsylvania agitator, is on the ground
urging the men TO quit work and stay
out until their demands are granted.
