GENERALS AUTHORITY LIMITED.-Major
General F. D Grant has made mistake In miti-
eating the sentence Of an enlisted man who was
retained at Fort Jay, Governors Island, prior
10 being sent 10 the military prison at Fort
Lea venworth The soldier had been sentenced to
a term of Imprisonment there, and this sentence,
imposed by a military court, approved by
General Grant reviewing authority. The mill
tarv rrisnner was not at once sent to his place
of confinement. and I'm the time General
Grant mitieated the sentence In slight degree.
but made conditional upon good conduct while
in confinement The War Department holds that
General Grant had authority 10 act in the mat
ter The fact that the soldier at Fort Jay
made no difference. because, nominaly he was be-
yond the jurisdiction Of the department com
mander. and, while awaiting shipment to the mill
tary prison. he to all intents and purposes in
the prison and beyond the status which could ob-
tain for him a mitigation of sentence except IN
the regular way under tho law. Besides. the mill
tarv authorities consider that the time allowance
Tor good conduct was a sufficient means Of lessen
ing the period Of confinement. The case has at
tracted much attention in the War Department
