CASE OF GEN. J. H. SMITH.
COurt-MartiaI Verdict May Be Re-
turned for reconsideration.

WASHINGTON, June 1O.-Secretary Root
said to-day that he had not yet had time
to consider the case of Gen. ]. H. Smith.
tried by court-hartial at Manila for alleged
violations Of the rules of war In the con-
duct of the campaign of Samar. He added
that as the Smith case was based practical
ly on the transactions which led to the
trial by court-martial of Maj. l.. w. T.
Waller of the marine corps charged with
the alleged unlawful killing of Filipino pris-
oners, he would probably review the receipt
of the record of that case before giving
final consideration to the Smith case. The
Waller case is not expected to reach this
city for several weeks. II is said at the
War Department that the Waller case is
closed incident but the Smith case will not
be legally closed until II has been finally
acted on by the President. The significance
of this statement is that 1t is still within
the power of the President to return the
case to the court for reconsideration of the
evidence adduced, even though the officer
was acquitted by the court, as the press
dispatches from Manila have indicated. The
court could not be legally compelled to
change its findings, however, against its
own judgment; its adherence to a verdict
OF mot guilty" would stand, despite the
disapproval of the President, which in that
case would be simply as a rebuke to the
court without affecting the legal status of
the accused.

The knowledge that he is to be a free man

the Indifferent demeanor he has maintained
since he was arrested. He smiled but
showed no particular interest in the infor-
nation. II have been here nearly twenty
five months" he said. land I'll be real glad
