Findings of the Court Martial in the Cases
OF the Major and Lieutenant Day
Are Oyerruled.

Manila, May 27-Generai Chaffee
has disapproved the action of the
court-martial in acquitting Major Wal
Ter and Lieutenant Day Of the charge
Of killing natives of Samar without
legal process. General Chaffee says
the verdicts are miscarriage of JUS
tice and the findings are opposed to
the evidence. He holds that while the
laws Of war Justify summary eXecu-
tons in certain cases, such cases did
not arise in this Samar campaign.
A minute review of the record leads
him to decide that justice to the mill
tary service and common fairness to
the helpless natives whom Waller sent
to their death, his acts partaking more
of unlawful retaliation than justita-
bic warfare, make the case one that
should not become an approved prece-
dent for young officers. However, CON
sidering the mental condition of Ma
jor Waller. so much Of the findings as
declare the accused not guilty Of muir
der are approved.
Lieutenant Day is censured because
though he knew Major Walters condi-
ton, he did not counsel delay. In
stead, he seconded Major Walters re-
solve and promptly executed orders
which under the circumstances. he
should have disobeyed,' thus guarding
the honor of the country and probably
preventing one Of the most regretta-
BILE incidents in the history of the
American military service.
