has been ordered to try Major S. Lit
tleton and w. T Walker and Lieuten-
ant John H. A. Day, of the Marine
corps, on March II, on the charge Of
executing the natives of the Island Of

cious. One native was tied to a tree
and publicly shot in the thigh. The
next day the man was shot in the
arms. The third day he was shot in
the body and the fourth day the native
was killed. Friends of the officers at
tribute their actions to loss of mind
due to the priyations which they suf-
fered in the island of Samar.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 24.-The almost
unprecedented activity which marked the
close Of the local grain market on Saturday
continued today. Wheat and barley adj
vanced several points, eclipsing the best
prices which have obtained since 1898. g.
May wheat opened at SLAP and the
clamorous demand from the bears quickly
rushed 1t to SLABS. December scored an
even greater advance at the opening, the
first quotation being $1.43. The bulls were
in complete command OF the situation. The
Australian demand continues imperative
and ~freights are dragging at bottom prices.
Barley shared with wheat the attention
Of the brokers and a strong deman for the
cash article sent the futures up and De-
cember made an advance of 4% cents over
Saturdays close. May jumped 8 cents. The
advance is attributed to the scarcity Of
cash barley and the large demand for home
consumption.
At the afternoon session December closed
at $1.42% and May went to S1.43 rs. Bar
ley advanced and closed strong at $1.26h
for December and $3.50 for May.

CUTS DOWN NAVAL FORCE
French Minister of Marine Criticised
for Reducing Number of Men
I'm Mediterranean.

PARIS, Nov. 24.--M. Pelletan's admins
tration Of the navy was again subjected to
an attack in the chamber today, when an
Interpolation was introduced criticising his
action in reducing the effective strength Of
the Mediterranean squadron by 1850 men.
This reduction, 1t was asserted, would rem
der 1t impossible for the feet to put to sea
instantly IL this became necessary.
NJ. Pelletan said he was compelled to
economic in some directions, because the
construction OF warships during the coming
financial year would necessitate an expen-
diture Of 81, 600, 900 in excess of 1902. Owing
to the exceptional position occupied by
France in the Mediterranean 1t was a
more urgent matter to expedite work on the
naval port Of Bizerta than to put 100 men,
more or less, on the ships employed in
promenading between Villefranche and
Toulon.
Whatever might be his personal opinion
regarding the colonial %conquests Of France
he would neglect nothing in order to de-
fend the colonial empire, but money was
needed to do this and he was forced to
economic on some points in order to spend
elsewhere. After a brief debate the cham
Der by 2Ss votes to 2O4 adopted an order Of
the day approving the action of the govern
ment.
