John L. Kreiaer, one of the signers
of his proclamation, was tried recently
by al military commission in the
Philippines on charge of treason, and
the records of the court-martial have
just been received at the War depart
ment. The preponderance of proof,
said General Chaffee, in reviewing the
case, was in favor of the contention of
the accused that he was held by the
insurgents as prisoner and took no
part in operations against the United
States, gave no aid and comfort to the
enemy, made reasonable effort to
escape and was compelled by his cap
tors under legal duress to sign the
above proclamation by threats of
violence in case he refused
"While no reasonable intent or
overt act is established against the
accused by competent evidence" said
General Chaffee, sit however remains
to be remarked that it is the duty of
every American soldier to face inn
pending danger of death rather than
sign reasonable proclamation, even
If it be prepared, as was the one in
this case, by the enemy. Nor should
he do any other act that might have
even a semblance of giving the enemy
encouragement. The true soldier not
only takes the risks Of battle, but all
other risks Of life growing out of any
and all incidents OF war, and accepts
the chance of life or death, rather than
do aught to injure his country's cause
or dishonor the uniform he wears"
The military commission found
Kreider guilty of the charge of treason
and sentenced him to CONTINENT al
hard labor for life, but General Chat

BILE sea serpents whose bones have been
strung together by conscientious men?
They Did Exist.
''The biggest sea serpents we know of
lived in the Eocene PERIOD said Curator f.
A. Lucas of the National Museum yester-
day. Take, for instance, the Zeuglodon. He
would tally perfectly with some of the most
sensational sea serpent descriptions which
we hear, year after year.
The Zeuglodon grew SO large as seventy
feet in length and eight feet in diameter.
His head was small and pointed. His jaws
were well armed with grasping and cutting
teeth. Just back of his head he carried
pair of short paddles, not unlike those of
fur seal. He must have reared al least
third of his great length out of the water
to take comprehensive view of his sur
roundngs. His tail must have propelled
him at a speed of from twenty to thirty
miles an hour. Zeuglodons were once very
numerous in the Gulf of Mexico, also the
old seas of southern Europe. They have
been called 'whale-like king lizards" but
in reality were mammals, not reptiles.
Zeuglodon is usually thought to be the an
cestor of the whale, but l think he died
without issue.
There is no apparent inherent impossi-
bility that zeugloden does exist today.
But we don't find him-that is all. If a fish
of such ancient lineage as the gar pike
going back to the days when the zeuglodon
fourished-is SO common as to be a nuis-
ance, why may there not be a few Zeug-
lodons, plesiasaurs or masasaurs some
where i'll the depths of the ocean? But it
can only be said, as suggested, that no trace
of any of these creatures has so far been
found outside of the geologic strata in
which they have long been known to occur
Still, If some of these creatures had been
spared, they might well have passed for
sea serpents. even though zeuglodon, the
one most like a serpent in form, was that
most remotely related to snakes. Along in
1873, when our ship Hassler was sent to the
Pacific coast, quite a scientific outfit was
taken along, and it was suggested that the
naturalists aboard would find some of these
big extinct animals. The National Museum
has obtained the best skeleton of a zeug-

THE SILVER BASS.
A Fish Beautiful to Look Upon, Good
to Eat, but Not Game.

From the New York Sun.
If the white or silver bass were as game
as 1t is beautiful it would be the most VAL
uable fish in America. Unfortunately this
swimmer, which looks like an exquisite
curved bar of metal when lying in the dip
net, has comparatively little courage. Its
pugnacity varies with the waters it inhab-
its. 1t is stronger and more vicious in
cold than in warm water, but it is never
the fighter that the black bass is in any
water which they both inhabit The silver
bass, so called because it has no dark spots
worth mention, is of limited distribution.
1t is not found in the south, though 1t has
a near relative in the great white perch of
the southern lakes, and there are many Of
the eastern and western states in which 1t
is not grown.
1t is probably more plentiful in Wiscon-
sin than elsewhere, as the fish commission
of that state fell in love with its beauty
some years ago and bought millions of fry,
which were transplanted. 1t displayed
considerable eccentricity in its growth. In
some waters it throve prodigiously, soon
outnumbering the Oswego bass by which 1t
was surrounded; in other waters, differing
apparently in no way, 1t died rapidly. Thus
the white bass is taken in quantities from
Lake Mendoza, near Madison, Wis and not
any is to be had from lakes near by,
though they were stocked plentifully. Some
100000 healthy fry were put in the small
Green lake, in Walworth county and two
weeks afterward they lined the shores in a
slvery belt six inches wide, all dead.
The silver bass is taken with the minnow
or spooh 1t is not so gross a feeder as
the black bass and apparently has little
liking for frogs. 1t does not care for craw-
fish or helgramites. 1t dlsdains worms.
With a good fat minnow, however, espe-
cially If it be trolled slowly in siX-foot
water a man may take plenty of them.
Not many are taken which weigh more
than two pounds, but a two-pound bass, IL
X has any character at all, ought to put
up quite fight. Unfortunately the white
bass is characterless. 1t drags a little on
the spoon when first struck and may make
an idle swerve or two behind the boat, but
surrenders Immediately, and may be reeled
up and lifted without further to do. II it
had more temper 1t would be difficult TO
take, as the lining &C !ts n>a1th is not 50
tough as that of the black bass and a good
break or two would tear out the hook. 1t
is in fact, altogether more delicate fish
than its cousin, with less appetite and less
strength.
As a table fish II has no superior. Its
flesh is finely grained, snow white, tender
and eXquisitely Favored. The silver bass
is good, whether broiled. fried or baked,
and in taste is again reminiscent of the
white perch which is the best table fish In
southern waters. The silver bass is a good
thing to have in a state, since IL adds to
the variety of the fish, but anglers do not
commend it.
