costing them nearly $40. To the justice OF

thereof, but while occupying the house on

OUTSIDE THE LAW.
No Punishment for Jap Found Inspect
ina Fort Kosecrans.

Washington, July 12.-Oficials of the
Judge advocate generals office today said
they did not recall any statute covering
the act of an individual who may be de-
tected making drawings of a fort or 9TH
er government buildings on military
reservation. They said however, that
such reservations, being under the control
of the secretary of war, are subject to
such rules and regulations as that Off
cial may promulgate. Anyone who may
be on the reservation without the right
to be there is a trespasser, and if found
doing something that the regulations for
lid is liable to ejectment or to any other
punishment which may be approved.
These observations We're suggested as a
result of the reported arrest of a Japan
csc at Fort Rosecrans, Cal, while engag-
ed in making drawings of the defences
there. The arrest is said to have been by
Major Gatchell of the coast artillery, but
he has not yet reported his action to the
war department. according to the state
ment of the officials here.
The Japanese embassy officials say they
have no information regarding the arrest
of one of their countrymen at Fort Rose
Grams. The upshot of the incident is the
probability Of some recommendation to
Congress making it a penal offence for
anyone to attempt to sketch or photo
graph Notifications in violation of the
r7ries of war in tafe ,irpafrnrent--
The orders of the war department are
very strict respecting the admission of
persons to visit the coast and lake de-
fences. ana it is provided that neither
written nor PICTORIAL descriptions of these
WORKS are to be made for publication
without the authority of the secretary OF
war. nor is any information to 10 given
concerning them not contained in the
printed reports and documents in the war
department. Commanding officers at posts
which are termed lake or coast ,efcuce.,
