The healthy copdition Of our town

Of cur town. The Dunn school, under

Giving heed to the mental attitude of
Major Waller, as much of the findings
of the court as are to the effect that
Major Waller is not guilty of murder is
approved. But the reviewing authority
is at loss to understand why the court

the acquittal as it appears in the record
of the proceedings, is disapproyed
Referring to the case of Lieutenant
Day, the reviewing authority says:
Tho accused knew that for three weeks
Major MAILER had undergone a test of
his mental and physical endurance,
such as few men are called upon to suf-
fer While fully conceding the grave
responsibility assumed, by a subordinate
officer in Wilfully disobeying an order of

must be conscientiously regardful of the
unquestioned legality of his agency in
taking the lives of his fellowmen, above
and beyond all personal considerations.
officers must guard the name and honor
of the country. Had Lieutenant Day been
actuated by such considerations he would
probably have prevented one of the
most regrettable incid nts in the annals
Of the military service of the United
States"

MORO DATTOS FRIENDLY.
with the Exception of One Robbes
Chief Who VIII Have to be
Brought to Terms.

Manila, May 19.-Gen. Chaffee re
turned here yesterday from Lake
Lanao, in the interior of the ISLAND
of Mindanao. He said he saw several
Moro dattos while there, and had
most satisfactory interviews with
them. Nearly all the dattos, and es.
pecially the surviving s%ultans, claim
to entertain friendly feelings to
ward the United States.
In view of a cablegram which Gen
Chaffee received yesterday from Gen.
Davis, who is in command of the
American forces on Mindanao, and
in which it appears that Datto Ruty
has apparently refused to return the
animals he captured from the Amer
lean army, Gen. Chaffee is not pre-
pared to say that there will be no
more fighting in Mindanao.,
Gen. Davis reports that Datto Ruty
says he is ready to fight, but Gen.
Chaffee believes that, although it may
be necessary to bring this datto IL
terms, his resistance of the Ameri-
can forces must necessarily be slight.
Datto Ruty's forts are situated on
a high hill. They could be surround
ed by a line of American skirmishers
who would prevent the datto from
obtaining water and who could thus
force a practically bloodless victory
in a few days.

formed. Last Tuesday evening his
majesty was holding an informal re-

theater at Weisbaden, between the
acts of the opera, "The Merry Wives
of Windsor" when he turned to Prof.
Uphues, the sculptor, and said:
"Uphues, l want you to make an
other statue of Frederick the Great"
II should be delighted, your majes-
ty," replied the professor.
This was the first the sculptor had
heard of the project and it was, APP
parently, the first that anyone had
heard Of the emperor's intention. His
majesty then told Prof. Uphues that
the statue was for presentation to
the people of the United States, and
his cablegram to President Roosevelt
on the subject was written and sent
the next day.
