marine k-2.
Admira! Little told Mr Daniels that he
felt that the original date set for the con-
veninS of the court. October IS. did not
give him sufficient time to prepare n de-
fenSe. The Secretary thereupon ordered
a postponement &c November l. The
cour; will convene at Boston navy yard.
and Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske will
act as president of the court.
Mr.. Daniels yesterday made public the
partment's letter to Admiral Little.
quoting Admiral Littles own statement.
which is the chief basis of the charge
against him. The publication of the let
ter was decided on by the Secretary in
