whence it is to run in Southwesterly
direction to Carabslle, in Florida, on the

WASHINGTON, January 17--President MoKin.
ley announced to the cabinet at its regular meet
ing to-day that he had determined to courtmar-
tial Gen. Eagan. 81. . + 1850
Secretary Alger WAS not present at the cabinet
meeting, but Adjt. Gen. Corbin was at tho white
house In conference with tho President I'm tho
subject just prior to the 'oabinet session. The
order for tho courtmaz!ial was made thi, after
noon.
The decision which was reached only this
morning, notwithstanding reports that court
martial had been decided on yesterday, met the
unanimous approval Of the members of tho
cabinet. Three of the Presidents official ad-
visels, Secretary Alger, Secretary Wilson and
Postmaster General Smith, were absent but In
each instapce their views are known to coincide
thoroughly with the Presidents decision.
While 1t was not definitely stated after the
cabinet meeting what specifications would be
made against Con. Eagan, 1t is understood that
tho specific charge Of which he will be tried
viii be conduct unbecoming an offlcer and q
gentleman. The personnel OF tho court has not
yet been made public. ... ., .. o.
just prior to the cabinet meeting Gen. Miles
made q rather unusual call upon two of the
member8 OF tho cabinet, Secretaries Hay and
Long. He had just returned to the city from
Now York and when spoken to with reference to
the Esgan case adhered to his original doclara-
ton that thts was not time for him to act IL at
all, leaving the implications that If the COM
mission did not act, or tho administration, It
would than be time for him to take some steps.
The commissary general was on duty rs usual
| al i,is Office and business wac apparently going
along In tho usual way, rltholgh it was noticed
that there were moro callers upon Gen. Eaasn
of tho official ciass-namely: Ofilcers Of his own
corps. This 10 not usually the case ..-
TO the President this morning he said that he
was prepared to accept Loyalty whatever action
tho President might decide to make.

Sampson or Schley.

WASHINGTON, January 13.-The House
to-day entered upon tho consideration of
the naval personnel bill.
In the course Of his remarks Mr.. Berry
made the first allusion on the floor of the
House to tho mooted question as to who
was to be credited for tho victory over
Cervera's fleet at Santiago. ~
~ believe the bill will remove conflict,
and ii there Is any country whore there
is q necessity fox tho removal OF conflict
in the army Or the navy it is tho United
States Uaughter.) think we had q
magnificent phase of q conflict in tho
armed gervice of the United States in tho
papers this N morning, and whether it viii
end In duel or not I do not know, but
1t shows there is o very considerable
amount Of friction In tho army of the
United States. There was some conflict
then among the officers in the navy In
tho greatest battle of tho war, the great
est battle of modern times, because IL de-
monstrated the character of the men and
the vessels that were engaged In 1t, and
there la no doubt in tho minds Of tho
American people who Is entitled to tho
credit of the victory. But there are peo-
plo who are trying to steal away from
Schley the credit of the glorious triumph
he won on che third Of July, 189S."
In this connection MFR. Berry read the
following poem amid whiriwind OF
laughter and applause:
"When tho Spanish heot with full head

Dashed out of Santiago Bay, .,l
Taking tho chances of death and wreck,
Who stood on a Yankee quarter deck

Husband Resents on insult TO His wife
With Eatal Consequences. G


Husband Resenfs an INSULT TO His wife
With Fatal Consequences.
b SPARTANBuRG, s. O., January II .---
News reached here to-day Of .
bloody battle which occurred about
midnight last Sunday at the home
Of Houston Ruppe, in Polk county,
NJ O., near Inman. THE faots OBJ
tainsble are these: .,{Ssiii,.
Tol McCreary, a well, known young
white man, was very much under the
influence of whiskey, and gave o
mortal insult to the wife Of Robt.
tiuntslnger, who Immediately, in-
formed her husband. Then followed
q fight to the death. 1.5s j%&
Huntsinger found MoCreary, and
without hesitating attacked him.
Knives were freely used. 1t appears
that the husband, was somewhat
worsted in his bout with McCreary,
and Mr.. Ote Durham interferred.
McCrary started toward him, making
threats, whereupon Durham pulled
his pistol, and fred three shots at
his advancing antagonist. Each bu.-
let took fatal effect, and a few hou.s
afterward, McCreary was dead.
During the firing Mr.. Durham's
pistol went off accidentally, and the
ball took effect in his right leg, rang
ing downward. His wound is ex-
ceedingly dangerous. q
MeanwhileMr. Huntsinger was CAR
ried to his home, where he suffered
terribly, and to-day he died, in spite
of the most persistent effort of DIR.
King to save him.
Mr.. Durham at once gave himself
up to the sheriff Of Polk county, of
which he was a citizen, and there
quietly awaits the result of his pre-
llmlnary trial. -s."
CoRoNER's INQUEST HELD.
INMAN,S. c. January 2O.-Yes-
terday Coroner Bishop held an in
quest over the dead body of Robt.
Huntsinger, at the home of Dock
Brady, near New Prospect, where
he died.
The evidence given to the jury
did not differ materially from the
particulars in the above dispatch.
The verdict rendered was that
deceased came to his death from
wounds inflicted By q knife in the
hands Of one McCreary.
Huntsinger was a young man,
having been married only about q
year, and leaves young wife to
mourn his death. His home was at
Arlington, i'll this county.
AS soon as Huntsinger learned
that the Sheriff was after him, it
appears he left his home and went
to that of his friend, Dock Brady.
