SECRETARY ROOT ISSUES A CIRCULAR Says that Althoaah Smith. Gave th Kill and Barn Order, It Was Hot Carried Ont Save la On Instance. WASHINGTON, July 16. Secretary Root brought from Oyster Bay the case of Gen eral Jacob H. Smith, tried by court-martial at Manila on account of orders Issued to Major Waller. General Smith was found guilty of the charges by ths court and sentenced to be admonished by the reviewing authority. The president has so admonished General Smith and retired him under the law which provides that officers having reached the ags of 62 years may be retired at will by the president. Secretsry Root supplements the reprimand of President Roosevelt in a long circular, In which he explains the condition which resulted In the court-martial of Oeneral Smith and shows that, although Smith Is sued the "kill and burn" order, as a matter of fact very few persons were killed aa a result of that order, the casualties being confined almost wholly to the eleven na tive killed under Major Waller's direction. Approved by the President. Following Is the text of the president's review of the case: 19C4. By the President: The flndlnss and sentence of the court are approved. I em wen aware or me aanger ana great aim cuity of the task our army has had In the Philippine Islands, and of the well-nigh Intolerable provocations It has received from the cruelty, treachery and total dis regard of the rules and customs of civilised warfare on the part ot Its foes. I also heartily approve the employment of the sternest measures necessary to put a stop to sucn atrocities and to Dime tnis war to a close. It would be culpable to show weakness in dealing with such foes or to fall to use all legitimate and honorable methods to overcome them. But the very fact that warfare Is of such character as to afford infinite provocation for the commission of acts of icruelty by junior officers and the enlisted men must make the omcers In high and responsible positions peculiarly careful in their bearing and conduct, so as to keep a moral check over any acts of an Improper character by their subordinates. Almost universally th higher officers have so borne themselves as to supply this necessary check, and with but few exceptions the o (fleers and soldiers of the army have shown wonderful kind ness and forbearance In dealing with their foes. But there have been exceptions; there have been Instances of the use of torture and of Improper heartlessness lf warfare on the part of the individuals or small detachments. Sallied the American Name. In the recent campaign ordered by Gen eral Sralin the shooting of the native bearers by the orders of Major Waller was an act which sullied the American name and can be but partly excused by Major Waller's mental condition at the time, this mental condition being due to the fearful hardship and suffering which he had undergone In his campaign. It Is Impossible to tell exactly how much In fluence language like that used by Oeneral Smith may have had In preparing the minds of those under him for the com mittal of the deeds which we regret. Loose and violent talk by an officer of high rank 1 always likely to excite to wrongdoing those among his subordlnaates whose wills are weak or whose passions are strong. General Smith has behind htm a long career distinguished for gallantry, and, on the whole, for good conduct. Taken In the full, his work has been such aa to reflect credit upon the American army and, therefore, upon the nation, and it la deeply to be regretted that he should have so acted in this instance as to Interfere with his further usefulness In the army. I hereby direct that he be relieved from th active List. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Review of Seeretaj-y Hoot. The following Is the review of Secretary Root: WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, July 12, 1902. To the President: I trans mit herewith the record and procefllnM upon the trial ot Brigadier General Jacob H. Smith by court-martial convened under your order aateu April il, like, and now brought before you as reviewing author- General Smith was found guilty ot con duct of the prejudice of good ortiVr snd military discipline, in that he gave in the fall of 19ul to Major L. W. T. Waller of the marine corps, then servintr with a battalion of marines, under his orders as commander of the sixth separate brlgvle in Samar the following oral Instructions: "I want no rjrlsoners. I wish you to kill and burn; the more you kill and burn the better you win please me. ' And fur ther that ne wanted all persons killed who were capable of bearing arms and In actual hostilities against the Untied States, and did in reply to a Question by Major Waller asking for an age limit des ignate the age limit as 10 years of age. The court sentenced him to be admon ished by the reviewing authority, and the court appended to the sentence th following explanation: Strong; Tails Not Meant. "The court is thus lenient In view ot the undisputed evidence that the accused did not mean everytning that nis unex plained language Implied, that his sub ordinates did not gather such a meaning and that the orders were never execute! In such sense, notwithstanding that a des perate struggle was being conduoted with a cruel anu aavage loe. An examination of the evidence has sat Isfled that th conviction was Just and that the reasona stated for the very light sentence imposed are sustained by the facts. General Smith in his conversation with Major Waller was guilty of intem perate, inconsiderate and violent expres sions, wnicn, it accepted literally, would f grossly violate the humane rules govern ng American armies in the field and if followed would have brought everlasting disgrace on the military service of the Vrfitui states. Fortunately they were not taken literally nor followed. No women or children nor non-combatants were put to oeatn in pursuance oi mem. Mo Bearing: on Waller' Caa. An examination of the record and pro ceedlngs upon the trial of Major Waller, wnicn immeaiateijr prwfuea mai oi uen eral Smith, shows that the Instructions in question bore no relation to tne acts for which Major Waller was tried and wore not alleged oy him as Justification for those acts. Major Waller was tried for causing certain natives who had acted as bearers or guides of one or nis expedi tions to be Dut to death for treachery without proper trial, and he defended his action not upon the ground of any orders received from General Smith, but upon the ground that as commanding oflicer he was justified by the laws of war. Oeneral Smith's written and printed or. ders and the actual conduct or military operations in Samar were justified by the history and conditions or tne warrare with the cruel and treacherous savages who Inhabited the Island and their entire dis regard ot the laws of war were wholly within the limitations of general order No. 100 of lbo3 and were sustained by prece dents of tne nignesi aumomy. Previous Cases Bronght Vp. Thus In 1778 Washington ordered Gen eral Sullivan In the campaign against the six nations to sees and look to tne de struction and devastation of their settle ments, li wrote: 'But you will not by any means listen to overtures of peace before the total ruin of their settlements is errected ' Our future security will be in their In ability to injure us, the distance to wnu-n they are driven and In the terror with which the severity of the chastisement they receive will inspire tnem. The tort Phil Kearney massacre In 1S64, for treachery, revolting cruelty and the condltlona of serious dsnser which followed It. did not approach the massacre of Ualarslsa in Samar in September. 1901. There the natives had been treated with kindness and confidence, liberty and self government had been given to them. Cap tain cnnnei. tne American commander. waa of the sams faith and had been wor shlplr.g In tne same church with them. Soldier Rnthlesaly Slnashtered. With sll the assurance of friendship our men were ses ted at their meal unarmed among an apparently peaceful and friendly community when they were set upon from behind and butchered and their bodlei when found by their comrades the nex day had been mutllited and treated Willi Indescribable Indignities. Yet there was no such severity by American soldiers In SaKSX as tiouiral Sherman proposed against th Sioux after Fort rhfl Kear ney. It Is due. however, to the srood sense and self-reatraint of General Smith's sub ordinate and their resard 'or the Isw ot war rather than to his own self-control and judgment that his Intemperate and unjustifiable verbal Instructions weie not followed and that he Is relieved from the Indelible stain which would have re sulted from a liberal compliance with them. It Is the duty of a general officer, mhcte sge and experience have brought him to high command, not to Incite his subordi nates to acte of lawless violence, but to so explain to them that the application cf the laws of war and the limitation upm their conduct as to prevent transgressions upon their part and supplement their com parative Inexperience by his wis con trol. Recommends Smith's Retirement. In this General Smith has signally failed and for this he has been justly convicted. Although the sentence Imposed Is exceed ingly light, it carries with it a condemna tion which for an officer of his rank and age Is really a severe punishment. For this reason and for the farther rea son that General Smith has served thu country long and faithfully, has exhibited high courage and good conduct In many battles, has been seriously wounded In the civil war and In the war with ftaln and Is about concluding a long anj r.on- oraDie career as a laimrui and loyal te. v ant of his country, I recommend that the mild sentence Imposed be comlnned. Should you approve the findings nml sentence of the court. In addition to 'this recommendation I feel safe to say further that In view of the findings and sentence and of the evident Infirmities which have made It possible that the faots f und of service that he should continue In his rank. His usefulness Is an example, ai'lde and controlling Interest for the Junior of- ncers or me army is at an end, and as ne la already upward of 62 veara of ate. I recommend that you exercise the discre tion vested In you by law and now retire him from active service. KL.1HU ROOT, Secretary of War. Th Hew Cohan Reunblle.

Holland Enter Denial. An uptown sheet made the assertion In Its Issue of last evening that the Nebraska Telephone company had refused to handle fire alarms for the city since the mayor had declared the office of city electrician va cant. In connection with this item Man ager Holland has this to say: "The Nebraska Telephone company did not on the occasion mentioned refuse to handle a fire alarm. For a number of years past this company has handled all alarms free, all that was needed was to Inform the central office where the ,flre was located and the alarms were turned In from this office. Since the office of city electrician has been declared vacant and the batteries, etc., removed to Ore hall No. 1, It has been found necessary to have telephone alarms turned in direct. In case of fire those de siring to use 'the telephone should Imme diately ask central for No. 60, and the op erator will plug In the number Just tt same as for any other call. It Is true thax phone No. 60 Is not listed In the book; In fact, this number has not been In the book since the "telephone company commenced the handling of alarms, It having been left out purposely to avoid annoyance at the fire hall."

Miss Pearl Bousch, writes: "When I was a baby I contracted catarrh, and was doc tored by several good physicians, but none did mo any good. My mother waa taking Peruna at the time and gave soma ot It to me, and I soon began to Improve, and am, now well and fat aa a little pig. I am II years old. The doctors told mother I bad the consumption, but tt was only catarrh." Miss Pearl Bousch, It is no longer a question as to whether Peruna can be relied on to cur all such rase. During the many years in which Peruna has been put to the test in all forms snd stages of acute and chronla catarrh no one year has put this remedy to greater test than the past year.
