Two Lieutenants Already Reduced 10 Ranks

Washington, Nov. 8.-Sec. Bonaparte
stated, today, that the recent occur
renee at the Annapolis Naval Academy,
resulting in the death of Midshipman
Branch, would be thoroughly inyesti-
gated, but at present no further orders
would be issued.
Admiral Sands, the superintendent of
the Naval Academy, today, telegraphed
Sec. Bonaparte that Lieutenants Fitch
and NOyeS, of the cadet battalion. had
been reduced to the ranks for partici-
patton in the unfortunate affair by
which young Branch lost his life. The
regulations provide for the immediate
investigation of the matter by q court
of inquiry, which it is stated at the
department will undoubtedly recon-
mend the trial by COURT martial not
only of the survivor of the prize fight,
but of the timekeeper and the referee
both cadet officers. and perhaps of the
cadet officers who permitted the men
TO withdraw from the supper line last
Sunday evening, to engage in the fatal
encounter. 1t was stated at the depart
ment, today, that while the naval au-
thorities have ample machinery for any
action necessary, they will not throw
any obstacle in the way of an investi-
cation which the local authorities
might desire to make.

COUNT WHITES CABINET.
Forced to Fall Back on the Old and Ex

London. Nov. 9.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Daily Telegraph,
asserts that Count Witte has been COM
PEELED to abandon his efforts to form a
cabinet composed solely of Liberals and

be to extinguish the revolutionary con-
fagration by cashiering all those Off
Gals who by cOnnivance or otherwise,
are responsible for the recent out
RACES and maSsacres.
The correspondent says that General
Trepoff, assistant minister of the in
terror. whose resignation Count Witte
has repeatedly refused to accept, ow-
ing to his ability in keeping the forces
of disorder in check, is now likely to
Insist upon retiring.
