orders already have occurred in Bombay,
Madras, Nagapur. AIahabad and Maspur,
or that rebels have inte-fered with the
departure of native troops, causing the
British troops to retire and subsequently
occupying their barracks and arsenals.

statements. from beginning to end" the

Daniels publicly administered most
unusual yebuke Thursday to members
Of the court which recently tried three

G. Oak, Lieut.. X. L. Hill and Chief
Machinist. Thomas O'DonnelI The
court Originally acquitted all three Of
ficers, but one revision Of its findings
IN the case of Lieut.. Hill found him
guilty. The navy department approx
ed this finding, but in view of the &C.
quittal Of the two other officers re-
moved the sentence imposed on Lieut.
Hill
The department disapproved the
findings in the two other cases and
regards the work of the court as tend
ing to lower the standards of efficiency
in the navy.
The departments coment was as
follows:
The department is unable to dis
cover what motives induced the court
to enter this finding, as il is entirely
IN conflict with the evidence adduced
and furthermore absolves a senior en-
sineer officer on a speed run from any
responsibility for taking prompt and
necessary measures in an emergency
The department informed the court
that i considered that its findings in
Lieut.. Oaks case resulted in "a seri-
Gus miscarriage of justice"
The court which tried these cases
was compo sed Of the following: Capt
j. M. Ellicott, Lieutenant Comman der
