Washington, Oct. 25.-It was in the
ashy blur>of dawn. A colonel Of >infan-
try. with the eager eye, the: cunning
ear and the ready weapon Of scout,
was riding alone in advance of his men.
. There was a hurried but cautious
stir in the jungle ahead. Then seven
slipped into the open. Turning sharp
bend in the way, they vanished; only
the glimmer of a. brown viper in the
leaves and grass. af -.
The colonel galloped forward and got
a wild volley, into the earth. and over
his head, as he swept around the cor
ner. He opened fire, ten bullets to a
ripping noise of the fusilade multiplied
his shots in the terror of his enemies
and they#fed, pinging with their rifles
as they ran-all but one; with arm
crimson and limp at his side, he bur
rowed to safety in a tropical thicket. :,
A lieutenant and two men, splitting
like eats, were ridden down in a field,

The old commanding general Of the

M1DsHIPMAN FOSTERS CASE.
Findings Of Court-Martial Submitted
at Annapolis Yesterday.

=
at Annapolis Yesterday.
The trial of Midshipman W. W. Foster
of the first class at the Naval Academy was
finished quickly yesterday and late yester-
day afternoon the findings were written out
and the thir1sset of charges against MEM
bers of the graduating class were sent to
Rear Admiral Sands.
There is little doubt In Naval Academy
circles that Foster will get his walking pa
pers in due time, like Coffin and possibly
Decatur. In spite Of the fact that the only
definite statement gotten from any OF the
witnesses for the prosecution was as to the
name Of the accused there Is little doubt
that Foster will be found guilty.
The charges against Foster were In eff
feet very similar to the others. Unless the
board Of inquiry sends in more definite &C
tie doubt that the investigation will SIM
ply and quietly pass along for a few days
more and die
In the Decatur case there was specihca-
ton that he made a man do the seventh"
when there was no evidence that such a
thing exists. and q half dozen witnesses de-
clared they knew nothing of any such thing.
Mr.. Theall in his closing argument said he
would take but O. short time to talk and
that he simply asked the court to consider
the presumption of innocence.
''One thing that has impressed me and,
doubtless. the court, Is that no positive
statement has been made on the part OF the
prosecution. AS to hanging from the locker,
Roberts did not know whose hand slgnaled
to him. The same applies to the matter Of
standing on his head fifty times. He did
stunts, but didn't know whose hand it was,
I'VE have Chantry's evidence that eleven

other man there except Mr.. Dick.

the date OF the offense, and until we heard

fact that the voice which ordered Roberts
