Pennsylvania.
By Jos: Oil.

Washington. April 10.-(Special AT
torney General Knox is, according to the
general understanding among Pennsyl-
wanna politicians, slated for the repubh-
can nomination for governor of that
state. During the last few days con-
ferences have been held between Senator

the result is the lattcr's virtual agree
ment to become the partys candidate.
The outlook has been that the organiza-

of all factions and Knox is regarded an

PROBING OF "BRITISH CAMP. -
Name of Officer Doing Work Will
Be Kept Secret.

Washington, April AT the suggestion
of the attorney general and secretary
of state. the war department has decided
to withhold from publication the name
of the officer selected to inquire into the
actual conditions at Port Chalmette. La,
whence animals and supplies are being
shipped to the British army in south
Africa. II is felt that the officers pur-
pose might be thwarted by publicity at
this stage.

to locate some camp sites for returning
cavalrymen from Cuba. had been charged
to proceed thence to Port Chalmette 10

strictly correct The balance Of testi-

is however. on the other side. The fact

Courtmartial Attracts General Atten-

Just now everybody in Washington is
deeply interested in certain proceedings
at Manila involving this same General
Smith and his operations upon Samar In
line with the predictions Of his friends
that he was expected to to make things
black" The cOurtmartial of Major Lyt-
Teton Waller. Of the marine corps now
being conducted, has developed number
Of sensational features. Major Waller
is one Of the best officers in the marine
corps and | am told is a relative of that
very charming and delightful former res
ident of Atlanta Mrs Kate Waller Bar
rett. The family is one of the most
prominent in the Old Dominion, and Major
Waller has always been regarded a SPLEEN
did representative Of that family. He has
an excellent record in his corps, which
has always played a highly important
part In the military affairs of this coun-
try.
a portion OF the marine corps has been
in operation on Samar under command
of the general of the army. Major Wal
Ter was I'm charge Of an expedition which
went across from Lanang. on the coast
of the island. to BaSey, on the west coast,
and which was only saved from total de-
struction by starvation by the timely
arrival of a relief expedition. The story
of the hardships endured by Major Wal
lers command forms one of the dramatic
chapters in the history of American opera
tions in the Philippine islands. 1t was
one of those experiences which serves 10
show to the American people the terrible
hardships being encountered by American
soldiers I'm these islands Of the Pacific.
The Charge Against Waller.
Scarcely had the story Of the rescue
reached here when the news came that
Major Waller had been ordered before
n courtmartlal upon the charge of hav-
ing ordered the execution of prisoners
The sharp conflict in the testimony be-
fore that court. which is now sitting
al Manila. has served to draw the at
tention of all Washington and whatever
NAV be the result the indications are
that congress viii take a hand in or
deriug further investigation.
Major Waller testified that he had been
commanded by General Smith to kill
and burn that the more he killed and
burned the better pleased the general
would be. and that no prisoners were TO
be taken.
General Smith declared. when before
/ tho court. that the meaning of his order
was that the expedition should not he
hampered with prisoners. but that they
1 should be released
In rcbuttal Major Waller declared upon
/ oath that General Smith had instructed
\ him 10 kIl all over 10 years of age. The
! mnior said that he himself had repeated
/ this command to other of his officers.
