the physician who is attending
him says that he may be confin
ed to his bed for some time.
It is probable that the court

to convene in Denver next
week for the trial of Chaplain
Mclntyre on the charge of hav,-
ing unfairly criticised the action
of Admiral Sampson and Capt.
Evans in the Santiago naval
battle will oe obliged to post
pone proceedings for several
weeks on account of the chap
lain’s illness. Mr. Mclntyre
says he has not been officially
notified of the nature of the
charges against him or of the
date of his trial, and this has
seemed to worry him consider
ably. He is staying at the house
of Attorney Thomas J. Dunn, a

THE facts given out.
Washington, Sept. 22.—The
attention of Judge Advocate
General Lemly being directed to
the complaint of Chaplain Mc-
Intyre that he had not been in
formed of the charges upon
which he is to be tried by court
martial at Denver ou the 26th
instant, the officer very prompt
ly furnished the papers in the
case for publication,
The chaplain is to be tried
upon three charges, all growing
out of a lecture delivered by him
in thj Trinity Methodist Epis
copal church, Denver, Col., on
August Bth last referring to the
battle of July 3rd.
The first charge is “scandal
ous conduct tending to the de
struction of good morals.’’There
are three specifications under
this charge, in brief that he re
ferred to Admiral Sampson as
reporting himself within four
miles of the Colon when she I
struck her colors in order to get
his share of prize money.
Second, he charged that on
the chase after the Colon the
Oregon met the lowa goi >g to
the rear, and that “Fighting
Bob” took the lowa to the rear
and kept her there during the
battle.
Third, that Eastern made
ships failed to come up to ex
pectations because the builders
received thoir orders through
political pull and “did not care
how they cheated the govern
ment.”
The second charge is “conduct
to the prejudice of good order
and discipline.” It recites the
three specifications of the first
charge with an additional one
based on the chaplain’s “public
and contemutuous” reference to
Capt. Evans as “Fighting Bob.”
The third charge is “conduct
unbecoming an officer of the
navy” and recites the same
jpecifications. i
