The Charges Fails and The
Preacher Must Defend
Denver, Col., Sept. 27. —The
trial of Chaplain Joseph P. Mcln
tyre, of the battleship Oregon, by
courtmartial for the alleged use of
language unbecoming an oflicer of
tne navy and calculated to destroy
the good order and discipline of
the navy, during the delivery of a
lecture in Denver, Augusta Sth,
was begun at 1:30 o'clock yesterl
- The members of life court
are:
Commodore ’■¥. P. McCann,
president; Lieutenant Commander
William 11. Driggs, Chaplains D. j
H. Tribpu and T. A Gill, Lieut
Nathan H. Barber. Lieut. Com
mander C. X. Curtis and Lieut.
Commander J. D. D. Ke ly.
The Judge advocate, Captain C.
11, Lauchheimer, read the changes
and specifications prepar ’d by the'
prosecution. They included alleged ■
extracts from the lecture in which i
the chaplain is made to say that'
Aimiral Sam; sou reported him-'
■elf within four miles of th- Span-'
ish ship Cristobal Colon when she
struck her colors, in order that he
might participate in tlr prize
money, though he had nothing to
do with the battle. He was also
alleged to have said that when
the Oregon went into the fight, if
met the lowa, commanded by
“Fighting Bob”g Evans, to going
rear, where he stayed unit the
battle was over. He was also charge
ed with saying that the Oregon
was the only battleship in the l..vv
that w 6 honestly built.
E 11 Cranston, of Denver, as
attorney for the prisoner, moved
that the charge quashed on the
ground that the remarks were not
of a scandalous character, and on
ly such as are used frequetly m
the public press and by the people
generally. He held that the state 1 -
ments charged could not have af
fected the discipline of the navy .
He also argued that there was j
no denial of the alleged statements j
and no charge of malicious intent, j
and that the charges of fraud in
the building of vessels were against
contractors, and not against the
naval department.
Judge Adyocate Laucbheimer
replied briefly, ?nd the court des
nied the motion to quash.
The prisoner then entered a plea
of not guilty, and the court ad
journed until tomorrow.

the aimy’s start for Cuba. While
there he will aid in the arrange
ments for embarkation and the
work of securing transports,
supplies, medicines and all else
needed by the troops.
The President is determined
that there shall be no such scan
dal connected with the second
Cuban expedition as there was
with the first, and the entire de
partment today is at word se
curing all possible accommoda
tions and comforts for the
troops.
They will be embarked at
Tampa as was the Fifth army
corps, and it is probable that
many of the transports used in
Santiago and Porto Rican cam
paigns will be again employed.
In fact, enough of them are still
in the service of the Unieed
States to supply the demand,
unless some extraordidary cir
cumstances should require the
landing of a very large force at
one time.
As to where the troops are to
be disembarked and how they
are to be distributed throughout
Cuba, Gen. Lee professes pro
found ignorance. lie knows
that he is going to take his men
to Havana, because that has
been thejunderstanding for the
past three months, but he says
he has no idea where the regu
lars or the other volunteers are
to be sent.
It seems safe, however, to say
that at least two regiments will
be sent to the Isle of Pines, and
the remainder will be distribut
ed through the provinces of
Puerto Principe and Santa
Clara, with bases of supplies at
the>eaport cities. There are al
ready enough in Santiago. The
government seems as anxious
to keep its intentions in this re
spect secret as it was when the
army of invasion was ready to
start for Tampa, and there are
some reasons to believe that it
is right.

the Third Georgia was to be sent

anyone who knew anything
about it. No official communi

Much Knife!
The use of the surgeon’s knife is be
coming so general, resulting fatally
in such a large number of cases, as to
occasion general alarm.
Mr. William Walpole, of Walshtown,
South Dakota, writes; “About
three years ago, there came under
ony left eye a little blotch about the
@size of a small pea.
< It grew rapidly,and
shooting pains ran
) in every direction.
I became alarmed
and consulted a
H good doctor, who
pronounced it can-
and said that it
be cut out.

consent to, having
little faith in the
Indiscriminr'.tcuse of the Knife. Read
ing cf the many cures made by S. S.
S., I determined to give that medicine
a trial, and after I had taken it a few
days, the cancer became irritated and
began to discharge. This.af ter awhile
ceased, leaving a small scab, which
finally dropped off, and only a healthy
little scar remained to mark the place
where the destroyer had held full sway.

MAY BE SCHEMM’S LEGS
Bart Or A Human Body Found
Below Niagara Falls.
Niagara Falls, September 26
Peter Anderson this afternoon
found a pair of legs floating in the
Niagara river near Queens’ou,
Ontario. He made search fir the
tiuok in ail the eddies, but it was
not found. There is every reason
to believe that the kgs are a part
of the body of Peter Schemin, of
Philadelphia
There was nothing attached to
thorn, h wever to aid in identifi
cation. The foot took an 84 or 9
shoe and is quite pointed. B >th
legs are badly broken, a> d fasten
ed to the lower part of the abdo
men, which is attached to the kgfc,
is a piece of wire, which leads to
the belief that the body was torn
in two by being caught in one cf
the suspension bridge wrecks in
the river.
A man name! M. B. Marvin, of
Buffalo, has been missing since
September 4, but as he was drown
ed just above Queeaston it is
thought the legs do not belong to
his body.
Undertaker' Morse of Niagara
Falls, South Ontario, has taken
charge of the legs, and tonight he
is treating them with a patent fluid
which acts as a preservative and
will keep them for years. He ex
pressed the opinion that the legs
belonged to a map of med um
height, and that they were broken
by being caught in rocks
If they prove to be Scheinm's
legs Anderson will claim SSOO,
