Court Had no Other Alternative Than 10
Return a Verdict Of Guilty.
NO RECOMMENDATIONS WERE MADE
President Mckinley May Exercise CIsmency Il Re
Sees FIJI, and Mitigate Sentence Of Dlsmis-
sal 10 One Of Suspension.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-"And the Court
did thereupon sentence him. the said
Brigader General Charles Il. Eagan,
Commissary General OF Subsistence. to
bc dismissed from the military service
OF the United States
This, on reliable information. Is the
closing paragraph OF the court martial
record of General Eagan. 10 which Ma
jor General Merritt, the president of
the court. and Colonel George b. Davis,
the Judge Advocate, viii attach their
signature today.
Gen. Eagan was found guilty on both
churges--"Conduct unbecoming an ofii-
Ger and a gentleman" and conduct to
the prejudice OF good order and milit-
ary discipline" Having been found
guilty of the first charge, the Court. in
accordance with article of war 81, had
no other alternative than TO bring in a
sentence of dismissal.
When the court adjourned the SEN
tence was not accompanied by any rec
ommendation for clemency, and it is
not now considered likely that any such
recommendation will be made when the
record is formally signed. IL Is sun
within the power of the president TO
exercise clemenCy. and 1t Is believed py
many officers that. in view of General
Eagans mental condition. the president
may mitigate the sentence of dismissal
To one OF suspension.
Col. Davis the Judge advocate of the
Eagan court martial, was engaged to-
day in going over the records OF the
proceedings I'm the effort 10 compass
this work and deliver the paper TO the
secretary OF war before the expiration
of the day.
There ia no set led practice regarding
the course 10 taken in these presi-
Dental courts. Army regulations No.
S96 provide "the reports which the judge
advocate general may render upon
cases received by him and which re-
uuire the action of the president Will
be addressed TO the secretary OF war
and will be forwarded through the
commanding general of the army for
such remarks and recommendations as
he may see tit 20 make"
BY one construction of this regulation
the record of this Eagan court martial
would be necessarily delivered by the
Judge advocate general To Gen. Miles
who would transmit it TO the secretary
of war. However, IL may be that the
Judge advocate general may not render
a report upon the case, so that the rou-
tine prescribed win not be necessarily
followed. At any rate, II is the inten'
tion of Judge Advocate Davis TO de-
liver the proceedings of the court, wher
he has concluded with them, directly
to the secretary of war, who may. anC
probably will, refer the papers To the
Judge advocate general for legal re-
view. II is probable that the latter of
ficer will consume about week in th'
examination of the papers so that they
will not come before the president be
fore about February ..
