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.. Johr
A. Day, of the marine corps, for eN-
ecuting natives on the island of Sa
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:
1.-THE sending of the natives in ques
ton to their death partook more OF
unlawful retaliation than a 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
