DlsApPRovsp TIE FINDINGS.
The Verdict Of the Court Martial on MAJ
Waller and Lieut. Day Not
Satisfactory. -

Manila, May 26-The official find
ings of the court-martial which tried
Maj. L. W. T. Waller and Lieut. John
A. Day, Of the marine corps, for ex-
ecuting natives on the island of So
mar without trial have been made
public. The reviewing authority OF
the court, Gen. Chaffee, has ex-
pressed disapproval Of the courts
findings in both cases.
Referring to the case of Maj.
Waller, the reviewing authority says:
"The sending of the natives in ques-
ton to their death partook more OF
unlawful retaliation than justifi-
able act of war. In justice to the
American military service the find
ings of acquittal demand that they
shall not meet with unqualified APP
prevail"
Referring to the case Of Lieut.. Day,
the reviewing authority says: 1.-THE
accused knew that for three weeks
Maj Waller had undergone test OF
his mental and physical endurance
such as few men are called upon to
suffer. While fully conceding the
grave responsibility assumed by a
subordinate officer in willfully dis
obeying an order Of his commanding
officer, still, the weighty reasons re-
lated with which Lieut.. Day was
acquainted, so tainted Maj. Walters
order that Lieut.. Day should have
been prompted to positive disobedi-
ence. An officer must be conscien-
tiously regardful Of the unquestioned
legality of his agency in taking the
lives of his fellow men. Above and
beyond all personal considerations
officers must guard the name and
honor of the country. Had Lieut..
Day been actuated by such consider
atoms he would probably have pre-
vented one Of the most regrettable
incidents in the minds Of the military
service Of the United States"

THE MINERS STRIKE.
4 Circular Of President Mitchell
Read In the Churches.
MEETINGS OF RAILROAD Men Held.


cular which President Mitchell, of
the United Mine Workers, sent out
Saturday warning the Polish, Slavish
and Lithuanian miners to remain
away from the bituminous region Of
Virginia and West Virginia, where
strikes are now in progress, was read
in many of the churches where the
foreign miners attend services. Some
Of the clergy made remarks urging
the strikers who belong to their con-
gregations to be law-abiding and be
guided by their leaders SO long as
the leaders were faithful to the trust
reposed in them.
Secretary Mullahy, Of the Station
ary Firemen's union, reported yester-
day that the poll Of the men en-
ployed at the various collieries has
just been completed and that over
90 per cent. of the men will quit
work on June +? unless an eight-hour
day is granted them. Another officer
Of the union admits that the per-
centage Of engineers who will quit
work will not be as large, but very
nearly so. What percentage Of the
pumPmen will ooms out is not as
yet known. II the local operators
are to be believed, II will be small
and there will be no trouble in filling
al vacancies that may occur.
The strikers here are inclined to
look with favor on tho action Of the
mine workers conference At Hunt
inyton, W. Va, in ordering . strike
Of the miners in Virginia and West
Virginia. They think 1t will hasten
the crisis In the anthracite region.
Meetings Of railroad men to discuss
the ACCESSIBILITY Of refusing TO handle
non-qnion and bituninous coal dur
ing the progress Of the miners strike
were held In Wilkssbarre, Kingston
and Ashley yesterday afternoon.
All three meetings were secret. The
Ashley meeting Endorsed the miners
strike and will render financial aid.
The railroad brotherhood, with head
quarters in this city, VII also give
financial assistance, but it is said
will not resort to . sympathetic
strike.
Rev. J. ]. Curran, in q statement
issued last night, says a general
strike OF bituminous miners would
bring about crisis in the anthracite
field and the operators would have
to treat with their employees. Rev.
Mr.. Curran is also Of the opinion
that no matter how the present
strike ends the miners union is des
tined to 60 on until every miner in
the country is a member Of one com
pact brotherhood.
Three Labor Unions In Joint Convention.
Denver, Col, May 26.-Three labor
conventions, the Western Labor
union, the Western Federation OF
Miners and the National Association
of Restaurant and Hotel Employees,
will meet in joint session to-day.
President Boyce, of the Miners fed
Grafton, will call the meeting to or
der and state its object, which is
practically the adoption of socialism
by the labor unions. President Com
pers, of the American Federation Of
Labor, is not here, but in his place,
Thomas |. Kidd, third vice president
Of the federation, and Secretary
Lawrence have come and will try to
patch up the differences between the
American federation and their west
ern brethren.

AFFAIRS OF EVERETT AND MOORE

Another Statement from Chairman
NewcOmb, of the Cleveland Com
mittee of Bankers.

CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 5.-The bankers

of the affairs of the Everett-Moore syndi-
cate will resume its session tomorrow
No meeting of the committee was held to-
day. the members simply summing up the
work done during the past three days. Of
the future Chairman Newcomb said:
Between taking matters up with indi-
vidual creditors the work of sitting the
condition of the different properties will
continue. We are rapidly finding how much
Indebtedness, If any, there is on the differ
ent traction companies and If members Of
the syndicate have individual obligations,
and If so what the nature of them is. This
work probably Will take up something like
two weeks On Saturday night we con-
cluded our investigation of the affairs Of
the Detroit United Railways. This proper
ty is in splendid shape and is pronounced
unquaifedly by the committee as being a
magnificent investment.
ANY statement of the amount of money
over liabilities that may have been re-
ported was not official and did not have the
sanction of the committee. No such state
ment can be given out for some time. Be
fore the committee of seven took charge
of the syndicate s affairs a cursory eXaml-
nation showed that from 81 100000 TO 5000
600 could be expected in equities after all
obligations have been Cancelled. But this
largely depends on the keeping of mar
ket prices. 1t is for this that an extension
of time is asked. and which we now be
lieve will certainly be accepted.
Men who are looking for great bargains
in bonds will be doomed to disappointment.
There is no disposition to sell syndicate
securities on the part of banks, and we
do not expect any to be thrown upon the
market. In this case the bargain hunters
will get left and will have to go home
empty handed. We expect TO get the re-
port of the experts in the telephone proper
ties of the syndicate the last of the week
The committee will then Immediately begin
their own discussion of the properties"

DENVER is THUG.RIDDEN
AND CITIZENS HAVE DETERMINED
TO PURIFY THE CITY.
'.Committee of Safety to Patrol the
Streets and Protect the People
from Criminals.

DENVER, Jan. 5.-Ths city will present
a decidedly martial aspect if plans adopted
at a mass meeting of citizens this after
noon are carried out, and the temper of the
meeting would indicate that they will be.
Because OF the many crimes that have
been committed here within the past year
or two. which have brought terror to Den
yer residents, the latter have organized
committee of safety for the purpose of pro-
tecting the people against criminals. The
streets are to be patrolled during the night
by armed citizens who will be expected to
keep the town free of the criminal class.
All persons on the streets at night will be
expected TO give an account of themselves
when called on, and. failing 10 satisfy the
challenger of the suffciency of their rea-
sons for being abroad. will be arrested.
Police magistrates will be urged to make
punishment for crime so heavy as to deter
even the most desperate.
For months past thugs and thieves have
overrun this city. Women have been GRIM
inally assaulted in their own houses, and
on the streets hOld-ups and robberies have
been of almost daily occurrence. and even
murder has been committed at times when
the occasion, from the standpoint of the
vicious, demanded it.
A resolution was also adopted at the mass
convention asking that bill be passed by
the City Council providing for an additional
force of one hundred policemen.
