ADMINISTERED WATER CURE.
Mai. Glenn Suspended for One Month
and Fined $50.


Washington. July 22.-Secretary Root
to-day sent to the President at oyster
Bay the proceedings and findings in
the court-martial of Maj. Edwin F.
Glenn, Fifth Infantry; Lieut.. Julien
f. Gaujot. Tenth Cavalry, and Lieut..
Norman E. Cook of the Philippine
scouts. Glenn was tried on the charge
of administering the water cure to ma
tives or permitting 1t to be done. He
was found guilty and sentenced to one
months suspension of duty and fined
$50. Lieut.. Cook was charged with
giving orders to kill three Filipino
prisoners. The testimony showed that
he had given orders to shoot the Nris-
oners if they attempted to escape. The
Filipino scouts, to whom this order was
given, thought 1t meant to shoot the
prisoners. Cook was acquitted
In forwarding the cases to the Presi-
dent the secretary recommends that
the sentence and findings be approved.
but that no other action shall be
taken. 1t is not believed that the
President will make any comments
such as were delivered by him in the
case of Gen. Smith and by Gen. Chat
fee in the case of Maj. Waller. 1t is
shown in the evidence and reports that
Maj. Glenn has performed excellent
service and has done much to pacify
the country where he has been in COM
mand.

THE POPE'S GIFTS.
omciaIs Visiting Vatican Find
Themselves i'm a Quandary.

Washington July 22.-Gov. Taft has
acquainted Secretary Root with the
fact reported in the news dis
patches from Rome that the Pope
had rendered several pretty and APP
propriate gifts to himself and the
members of his party, and he has ask
ed whether these can lawfully be
accepted. 1t was at once recognized
that the question thus presented in
volved some very delicate and inter-
esting points, principal among them
being a possible decision, expressly
to be avoided at this stage in the
opinion of the officials as to the tenn
poral powers of the Pope. if these
were decorations or gifts of large value,
then under the constitutional inhibi-
ton they might not be received without
authority of Congress If the Pope is
regarded as having temporal power, as
being a prince, a potentate or a SOW
ereign. Secretary Root has, however,
avoided IN unpleasant decision of this
question Dy informing Gov. Taft that
If these gifts are not of considerable
intrinsic value and are personal in
character they may be accepted as
sonality of the giver need not be a
matter of official inquiry. On the other
hand, if the gifts are of exceptional
YAlue, which is not believed to be the
case, from the newspaper reports, then
they may be deposited in the Smith
sonian Institution in this city.

position to Confirmation.
Columbia, S. c., July 22-There was
great surprise to-day when the public
read of Senator McLaurin's declination
of the judgeship. There was even
greater surprise that he should have
given A newspaper editorial as his rea-
son for not accepting the place. when
there were dozens of similar charges
made weeks before he secured from
the President a promise of the judge
ship. There is a rumor to the effect
that the editorial in question was only
used as an excuse, the real reason be-
ing a threat made to oppose confirma-
ton, and that certain conditions that
have existed from time to time in
Washington would be revealed. The
alleged situation is one that few sena-
tors could with consistence criticise,
but McLaurin is sensitive.

Hanna Now Has the Governmental
Machinery i'm Motion to Extricate
the Young Man From the Hole in
which He Finds Himself.
Washington, July 22.-The State
Department has taken active steps to
save the life of DR.. Russell Wilson,
a young Ohio physician, who is held
under arrest at Bluefields by the Mic
araguan military authorities. Wilson
was member of a filibustering party
which made a landing near Monkey
Point. about four miles from Blue
fields. Most of the party were cap
tured, owing to the inability of the
reinforcements on account of
heavy weather and among
the number was Wilson. The
Nicaraguan general was about to exc
cute him summarily, but was induced
by the pleas of some English-speaking
people of Bluefields to allow the law to
follow its course. This meant trial
by court martial. and it is the under
standing that a death sentence was al
most inevitable. Wilson lives at Mi
Ian, O., and Senator Hanna has in
terested himself in his case. To-day
Acting Secretary Hill telegraphed to
the United States consul at San Juan
del Norte to make an immediate in
vestigation and report the facts at
once. In addition, the consul was di-
rected to use his good offices with the
Nicaraguan authorities in favor of
young Wilson, as Senator Hanna has
represented that he was not a COM
blatant, but was attached to the rev.
