FAILED IN HIS DUTY.

bv Court Martial.

0Y CoufC-N1ArCl0l.
Capt. Frank Skievaski of the Philippine
Scouts was recently convicted by court
martial convened at Malabang. p. l., OF
the charge Of failing to suppress mu-
tiny. He was sentenced to forfeit $50 Of
his pay per month for six months and to
be reprimanded.
Gen. Bliss. commanding the Department
of Mindanao. approved the sentence with
the qualifying statement that he believed
it to be entirely inadequate to the grave
offense Of which the accused was found
guilty. In his review OF the case. Gen.
Bliss said:
1.-THE evidence presented to the court
shows that mutiny existed among cer-
tain members Of the 9th Company, Phil
ippine Scouts. the plain purpose OF which
was to avoid compliance, except under
condition imposed by the mutineers with
an order for temporary change OF sta
ton. Instead of exerting his utmost ef-
forts in the use OF the ample means at
his disposal to promptly suppress this
mutiny.' the company commander. Capt
Skievaski, to all intents and purposes, de-
|liberately\ permitted the mutineers to at
tain their object. Capt. Skievaskfs con-
duct on this occasion shows q degree OF
weakness of will. want of decision and
Judgment, a shirking Of responsibility and
an utter lack OF appreciation of the re-
quirements of discipline Incompatible, un-
less these DEFICIENCIES can be promptly REM
ledied. with the proper exercise of the COM
mand that has been intrusted to him."
