Gen-ral Davis, the brigade commander, has approved the finding and sentence of the court. Army officers in the War De partment expressed surpri-e at the lightness of the sentence, the state ment having been made that it was conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, and therefore mer/ed dismissal at the least.

He contended that his only desire was to secure relics, and skeletons were being examined to this end. Since his arrest Captain Duncan has been in confinement and under guard. It is not customary during tne time of war to forward the findings of the courrL-martial tn the office of the Judge Advocate General. They zo direct to the General commanding the brigade, the officer in this case being Gen eral Davis.
