ARMY OFFICERS DEBTS.
Opinion of Judge Advocate General Ap-
proved.

The War Department recently had occa-
sion to define its attitude with regard to
claims against army officers on account of
debts alleged to be owing by them. A case
Of this character, having been brought to
the attention of the Secretary of War, was
referred to the judge advocate general of
the army, who rendered the following opin-
ion with regard to IT:
mo case is here presented for the action
of the War Department. - is entirely cor
rect In his contention that an officer of
the army is as mush entitled to the pro-
lection Of the laws as is any other citizen.
Should the matter of alleged indebted
ness of - be brought before the depart
ment by the attorneys for the estate Of
the late the attention of the latter
should be called to the fact that the War
Department is not collection agency, and
that In matters of private debt an officer
of the army stands on no t!fferent plane
from any other person. The civil courts
are the proper agents to determine whether
or not an Indebtedness exists, and it is
only where the non-payment of an estab-
lished obligation by an officer threatens
scandal TO the service that it becomes prop
or for the military authorities to consider
the case
The views of the judge advocate general
in this case, having been concurred in by
the Secretary of War, may be expected to
govern the attitude of the War Depart
ment with regard to similar cases that may
arise in future.

INSANE MANS ACT.
Shoots His Brother Five Times and
Latter May Die.

NEW YORK, December 23-Becoming
suddenly insane while at the breakfast
table with his brother and their mother,
Abraham Chapkowsky today fired five
shots at his brother Louis, woundng him
probably fatally. The wounded man is a
well-to-do cloth importer Of Lispenard
street. Immediately after the shooting
Abraham seemed to recover his senses, and
dropping to his knees beside his PROSTATE
brother begged his forgiveness.
The brothers were business partners until
four years ago, when Abrahams wife died
and he became insane. For three years he
was kept IN asylum, but about year
ago the untiring efforts of Louis secured his
release The latter was warned that Abra-
ham was possessed of homicidal tendencies,
but scoffed at the idea.
Last night was the anniversary of Abra-
hams wife's death. He became moody and
refused to sleep, so the brothers sat up to-
gether all night.
Soon after they joined their aged mother
at the breakfast table Abraham became
violent and furiously upbraided his brother,
who vainly tried to soothe him. Suddenly
the insane man drew big revolver and be-
gan to fire, at first wildly about the room,
and then at Louis.
Three shots took effect one in the arm,
another in the cheek and q third in the
skull. The mother wrested the revolver
from the hand of the son as the last shot
was fired

PITTSBURG December 23.-The slight

degrees yesterday, but it IS gradually fall

MAY FORFEIT ALLOWANCE.
Crown Princess Louise Violated Com
pact in Visiting Germany.

DRESDEN, December 23-Countess Mon
tigposo, formerly the Crown Princess
Louise, and divorced wife of King Freder-
ick, Augustus, by coming to Dresden and
trying to see her children yesterday has
probably forfeited her allowance of $500,
one of the conditions of which was that
she should not set foot on German soil.
This condition, however, may not be en-
forced, as popular sympathy with the
countess is SO strong already that the
court will avoid anything giving the i'm
preston Of Furnishing her for her natural
womanly feeling.
The version of the countess misadven-
ture commonly believed In the Kingdom OF
Saxony is that she is guiltless OF actual
wrongdoing, and is the victim of an IN
trigue of the center party, which Is describ-
ed as using inscriptions means to prevent
a strong liberal from becoming queen. The
circumstances Of the countess leaving the
court are so overlaid with fiction that the
truth probably will be unl1aown to the pres
ent generation of Saxons.

No Official Confirmation.

Officials of the War Department are nat
urally much interested in the press dispatch
from Manila indicating a renewal of hostil-
tiles on the Islapd of Sarnar, and official
advices on the subject are awaited with
some anxiety. Up to O'Clock this after
noon no confirmation of the press report of
the ambuScade at Dolores had been re-
ceived. II is presumed that the official re-
port is held back to await definite informa-
ton as to the casualties. The press report
says that a lieutenant and thirty seven en-
listed men of the 3Sth Company of Philip
pine Scouts were killed, but gave no names.
