mony taken before the senate commit.
tee on military affairs fails to identify
the guilty parties, is the opinion of
eight members of the committee. Four
members of the committee voted
against this decision and one member
| did not vote.
The resolution declaring the guilt OF
the negroes was submitted by Senator
Lodge and was adopted after five res.
olutions by Senator Foraker, one by
Senator Dupont and one by Senator
Scottsall of which were offered as sub
stitutes, had been voted down.
The vote was reached after pro
longed investigation extending over
two sessions of congress and evidence
had been taken covering thousands OF
| pages. Practically every negro of the
three companies of infantry dishonor
ably discharged by President Roose
welt testified in his own behalf Evi
dence in support of the president was
given by many army officers and citi

plans have beeG directed by Senator
Foraker. In the final vote in the com

members came to his support. The

gratitied at this, as it was apparent
from the outset that all of the Demo
cratic members we're convinced tha
the negroes did the shooting.

SOUND MACEDONIA WARNING.
Parliament Raises the Question I
ln~ Both Houses.

London, Feb. 26.-The Macedonian
difficulty was raised in both houses
of parliament Tuesday night.
Sir Edward Grey, secretary for for
eign affairs, made a statement in the
house of commons on this subject,
and Lord Fitzmaurice, under secre-
tary for foreign affairs, did likewise
In the house of lords, the gist of both
statements being that because of the
Porte's obduracy matters had reached
critical pass, that the government
deprecated any isolated action, but
was doing it's utmost to preserve the
concert of powers and press Turkey to
an acceptance of the reforms. Sir
Edward Grey said that in discussing
the Macedonian question, the govern,
ment was not far from the Turkish
question, which more than once had
led to European war. They were
rapidly nearing point, he said, where
the concert of powers must either
justify or stultify itself, and II the
concert disapproved 1t was impossible
to foretell what misunderstanding
might arise. II Macedonia continued
TO be neglected, he added, as a note
of warning, it must sooner or lateI
provoke a catastrophe. 81

NAVAL EXPERTS At PROBE
ADMlRALs CONVERSE AND cAPPs
GIVE TESTIMONY.
Talk Before Senate Committee Inves.
tigating Charges Against the
United States Navy.

Washington, Feb. 26.-The experts
in naval construction-Rear Admiral
Converse. retired, president of the
board of construction, and Rear Ad
miral Canps, chief of the bureau of
iconstruction and repair. were before
the senate committee on naval affairs
Tuesday, in the investigation OF
charges against the navy made by
Henry Reuterdahl in a recent maga.
zine article. .aE.
The charges were taken up in the
order they appeared in the article and
at the conclusion of the extended refu.
tations by Admiral Converse it was
stated by Senator Perkins that the
apologies of the committee were due
the officers for having called them to
answer such charges. Chairman Hale
assented to this view and no member
of the committee took issue.
This incident at the conclusion of
the first days proceedings is thought
to indicate that the inquiry will be
short. 1t has not been determined
whether the committee will enter
upon an investigation of any subject
except those embraced in the criti-
cisms of battleship construction, but
Ii other questions are taken up it is
certain no long-continued discussion
will be permitted. 1t is likely that the
entire inquiry will be concluded be-
fore the naval appropriation bill is
taken up. ,
The development of principal inter
est in the testimony of Admiral Con
verse was that two of the charges
made by Mr.. Reuterdahl were in Ian
guage similar to that used by Lieut.
Commander Sims, naval aide to the
president, and Lieut. Commander Hill,
on duty with the general board of the
navy, in articles which they prepared
