Acquittal by the Court Disapproved b.
the President.

the FT0S1QenC.
Final action has been taken by the Presi-
dent and the Secretary of War in the case
Of First Lieutenant Edwin A. Hickman Of
the 1st Cavalry. who was one Of the officers
tried by court-martial, by direction of the
President, on the charge of having admin
istered the water cure to certain Filipino
prisoners in order to extort Information re-
garding the movements of native bands of
marauders. The military court acquitted
the officer of the charge.
The President Endorsed the papers with
the simple word "dsapproved," evidently
intending thereby to deprecate the en-
ployment of the water cure without,
however, affecting the judgment of the
court-martial acquitting the officer on the
general ground that it's employment in this
instance was justified by the circumstances.
