NEW YORK, July 15.-Capt. Samuel

United States army, recently tried al
Fort Myer, Va, for irregularities grow
ing out of the Brownsville, Tex, mat
ter, was found not guilty and honor
ably acquitted by the court.
Gen. Walter Howe. commander of the
department of the east, however, act
ing as reviewing authority, passed on
the case today and disapproved the
finding of the court.
The papers in the case embodying
the verdict of the court were submit
ted to General Howe several days ago
In passing on the matter today Gen.
eral Howe said:
GENERALS REPORT
"In the foregoing case of Capt. Sam
uel D. Lyon, Twenty-ffth infantry
quite a portion of the record is in re-
gard to a matter of Importance in this
case and not material to the issue be-
fore the court.
''The evidence clearly shows that
Captain Lyon first received the ball
cartridges in question in April, 1905
and that in August of that year he had
not only 800 rounds Gn three original
packages) as reported on his ord
nance returns for the period ending
June go, 1906, but also approximately
twenty rounds per man in the hands of
the men of the company.
PRACTICE FIRING
"From the evidence the only reason
able and probable explanation of the
apparent surplus was that too many
rounds had been dropped as expended
June so, 1906. This surplus was COW
cred by firing in supplementary prac-
tice during the month of October and
not dropping any as expended during
the period ending December 81, 1906,
and by taking up that time 200 rounds
as surplus"
The reviewing authority has no doubt
from the evidence that the exact con-
dition of the ammunition was known
to Captain Lyon, especially after his
inspection following the Brownsville
affair. AS the question of ammunition
entered so largely into all the subse-
quent Investigations, there is no reason
why he was unable before the court of
inquiry to give exact and full informa-
tion thereof, except his desire to cover
up the error in his returns and cefti-
fications.
From the above it is evident that
the accused should not have been hon
orably acquitted and the same is dis
approved"
