CAPT. NEUMANN DISMISSED.
Result of Recent Court Martial Pro-
ceedings at Pensacola.

Captain Bertram s Neumann of the Ma
rine Corps has been dismissed from the ma
val service as a result of court martial
proceedings. He was recently brought to
trial at the navy yard, Pensacola, Fla, on
four charges, namely: Scandalous conduct
tending to the destruction of good morals,
disobeyng the lawful order of his superior
officer falsehood and conduct to the preju-
dice Of good order and military discipline.
The first charge was supported by eight
specifications. the first seven Of which al
legged Irregularities in the financial trans
actions of Captain Neumann in his capac-
ity as post treasurer of the barracks at
Pensacola and on his personal account The
eighth specification alleged that Captain
Neumann concealed and withheld from his
relief the books in which were entered the
receipts and expenditures of the company
funds, thus removing the evidence of his
transactions as post treasurer.
The court found the specifications proved,
with minor exceptions in some Of them, and
found the accused guilty of the charge. The
second charge was supported by one speci-
fication, which alleged that Captain Neu-
mann disobeyed an order to forward the
company fund books to his superior officer
at once He was found guilty OF the charge.
The two other charges related to the same
transactions, and the accused was found
guilty of both. The court sentenced the
accused to be dismissed the service, but
recommended clemency the part OF the
reviewing authority in consideration of the
excellent professional record OF the accused
and also because of his mental condition,
which. the court stated 'incapacitated him
for proper appreciation of his responsible
ties and obligations"
Secretary Moody approved the proceed
ings, finding and sentence OF the court and
ignored the recommendation for clemency
on the ground that no evidence had been
introduced at the trial to show that the
accused was suffering any mental impair
ment or that he was not entirely responsible
for his acts. Integrity" says Mr.. Moody,
is needed at every point of responsibility
In the public service, and the want of IL In,
in my opinion, inexcusable. This case, as
II Is presented to me, shows a corrupt be-
trayal of public trust, which for the inter-
ests and honor of the service should be
deemed an unpardonable sin
The case was presented to the considera-
tion of the President, and he added the
simple but significant Endorsement "Ap-
proved, whereupon an order was issued by
the Navy Department for the dismissal Of
Captain Neumann.

ANARCHIST PLOT AT MADRID.
Police Reticent About the Arrests
Made Yesterday.

MADRID, May 19.-The police here are
extremely reticent regarding the discovery
of the anarchist plot. Several OF the papers
really entertained the intentions attributed
to them. 1t is said that the authorities on
getting an inkling of the purchase of dyna-
mite, ordered inquiries made concerning
each purchaser and the existence OF the
conspiracy is thus thought to have been
confirmed. Nevertheless, the Liberal to-
day, declares that, as a result of the pre-
liminary investigation, probably only Ga
Driel Lopez, an employe of an Insurance
office, and Francisco Suarez. the we'll
known anarchist. VIII be brought to trial,
although the others are still detained.
Lopez's wife. when questioned by the po-
lice. admitted that her husband had fire.
quent mysterious visitors recently.
Lopez has fairly good antecedents. Prior
to the present trouble he professed to be a
federal republican. Lopez and SuaroZ were
again confronted today, with a result SINH
lar to that OF yesterday, when Lopez de-
clared that SuareZ gave him the dynamite
cartridges found in his possession. and told
him to throw them as the royal coach
passed through the Carrera San Geronimo.
The case is in the hands of prudent mag
istrate, who, it is believed, can be depended
upon not to give exaggerated Importance
to the affair.
A dispatch from Madrid yesterday says:
An anarchist plot against King Alfonso
has been discovered, and several arrests,
including that of Gabriel Lopez en-
ploye of an insurance company. have been
made. Dynamite cartridges were found on
the premises where Lopez was arrested.

MARTINIQUE IS DOOMED.

Chicago, Sept. 5.-"I am seriously
alarmed at the news of the renewed ac-
tivity of the Martinique and st. Vincent
volcanoes" said Louis Il. Ayme, United
States consul at Gaudeloupe, who is in
Chicago on sick leave. SHOULD Mont
Pelee blow its head eff, the loss of life
consequent upon the production of
great tidal wave would be appalling.
With Pelee as a center, chain of is
lands extends northwestward, embrac-
ing population of some $1,000 persons.
Almost without exception, the cities and
villages are situated along the coasts,
and but slightly elevated above the sea.
A tidal wave 40 feet high probably
would destroy half million lives before
it dashed against the shores of Porto
Rico with its million inhabitants.
''There is also apparently grave dan.
ger that other long extinct valcanoes
may break out. The great Souffriere of
Gaudeloupe has been active for centu
ries, discharging vast column of sui
phur charged with steam from the old
summit crater. This may have acted az
a sort of safety valve, but if, as report.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Sept. Elm striking con-
trast to the hue and cry heretofore
raised against convict labor coming
into competition with free farm
labor, the farmers of the neighboring
county of Copiah in mass meeting
assembled have passed resolutions
strangely condemning the PROPOSE
tion to lease the county convicts to a
contractor, and urging that small
farm be purchased on which the
conviets shall be employed under
the direct supervision of the county
at agricultural pursuits.
For several years the state con-
victs have been raising cotton and
corn, and the warden OF the peniten-
tiary is now the largest farmer in
the state, but the system has caused
no protest worthy of mention, and
the average farmer is much pleased
with the fact that the system has
proven highly renumerative, and
there are some prospects that the
handsome revenue derived from the
convict farms will eventually result
in reduction of the state tax levy.
The farmers of Copiah evidently
take the same view on the subject in
expressing the wish for the establish.
ment of the farming system.

Of the Legislature to Repeal the
Insurance Law.
1T WILL PROBABLY FALL THROUGH
Opinion is that Insurance Compa-
MES are trying a Bluff Game.
Special to the Daily Progress.

OPeCldA 10 tue Odlly ETOBT6SB.
Jackson, Sept. 6.-Very few replies
have yet been received to Governor
Longino's circular letter addressed
to the members of the legislature
asking if they would vote for par
tial or total repeal of the valued pol
icy clause of the insurance laws in
case the body is convened in special
session, and 1t seems the lawmakers
are going to manifest the same reluc-
tance in expressing an opinion on the
subject as was the case when the cir
cuIar letter was sent out on the same
subject by special committee ap-
pointed by the business mems con-
vention.
The firm belief that has fastened
itself on many minds to the effect
that the insurance companies are
working a bluff in declaring that
they will not write cotton risks I'M
less the valued policy clause is re-
pealed doubtless has much to do with
the manifestation of reluctance on
the part of the Legislators, and the
belief is strengthened by the an
nouncement of home insurance
company that it will write policies
under the old blanket form, and the
fact that one of the largest of the old
line companies is now secretly TAX
ing cotton risks over the head of it's
local agents. The chances for Sc
curing a special session are even
more remote than they have been at
any time since the remarkable agita-
ton was started.
