LAPPED SHAFTER'S FACE. iylvester Scovel Will Be Only .< Punished For His Disgraceful Conduct. Washington, July 2^.?The use of Sylvester Scovel, the ewspaper correspondent, who is aid to have slapped Shaffer's ( ace at the raising of the United c itates flag over the captured city f f Santiago de Cuba, has not yet ^ icen made the subject of an oficial report to the war departnent. The circumstances of the 1 lleged insult are particularly ag;ravat?J, and it may go hard with ( he reckless newspaper man if ; * }en Shaftcr desires to punish ' lim. \ It is said at the war department 1 hat the matter is entirely iu the * innds of Gon Shaftor and that if o disposed he could impose a aprtal ponalty on Scovel. As ? >ne official expressed it, the ofcnse was committed in the ene- , ny's country, during the exisence of martial law, against the >erson of the officer in supreme ominand. The fact that Scovel a a civilian gives him no immulity from the operation of miliary law. Tbe character and ex- s ent of his punishment rests en- 1 irely with Gen Shafter. llir al-1 eged offense is one of the most , erious known to military law. { t was mutinous in its character < nd micht, iumUi- th? existing , onditioOs at the time, hare led to ] k serious uprising against the ( lewly installed authorities. That ( t was followed by no serious \ onsequonces is due probably to , he prompt action of the officers \ rith Gen Shatter at the time in i tutting his assailant under imtne- t liate arrest. Although it is a<l [ uitted that General Shatter has j. ull authority to impose the death a icnulty after conviction by courtlartial, there is no likelihood ^ hat he will resort to any such r xtremo measures. tThe impression here is that at-, t or he has undergone a short im- I irisonment Scovol will be drum- s ied out of camp in disgrace and ^ << orbidden to return to Cuban ter- fc itory as long as it remains under f he government of the United < dates.
