EAGAN WILL DRAW HIS PAY
His Suspension Does Not Affect His
Title or His Place on the Cow
ernment Fay Roll.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-An interesting
fact in connection with General Eagan's sus-
pension from the army was developed today
on inquiry at the War department. AL
though General Eagan has been suspended
without rank or duty, he still remains COM
mssary general of the army, drawing the
pay of that Office, and there is no way in
which he can be displaced until he is re-
tired.
In this the army differs from the navy
In that branch of the service such staff ap-
Dointments are made for a term OF four
years, at the end of which time the incum-
bent may be changed or reappointed In
the army the appointment is for
the remaining term of service. This
was decided in the case of Judge
Advocate General Swain a number of
years ago. Though suspended from the
army for twelve years he continued to be
the judge advocate general, although his
duties were performed by Acting Judge Ad-
vocate General Liebert, the present incum-
bent of the office, and thia vtate of things
continued for nine years, during all Of
which time General Swain continued TO
draw full pay while his deputy drew only
the pay corresponding to the lower rank
General Eagan is still in Washington and
the acting commissary general, Colonel
John Weston, is sick in New York, never
having been able to take his place in Wash
ington.

REGULARS NOT YET RELEASED
Soldiers Enlisted .for the War" Must
Await the Exchange of Peace
Notifications

WASHINGTON, Feb. Sit was said at
the War department today that the decision
respecting the status quo in the Philip
pines and the restrictions imposed on Ameri-
can operations there also covers the ques-
tion of the disbanding of the army. There
is quite a large proportion of the increase
OF the regular army that was mustered in
for the war" with the specific pledge that
on the return of peace these men, although
regulars and mustered in nominally for
three years, would be given their discharge
at any time on their own request.
II advantage were generally taken of this
pledge by the department 1t would seriously
deplete the American forces in the field, but
the time for the redemption of the promise
has not yet arrived, and. according TO the
ruling OF the department the war continues
until after the exchange OF ratifcations of
the peace treaty by the two countries.
After that the end OF the war in all
probability will be formally announced by
executive proclamation, as was the declara-
tion OF the war last spring.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The War In

held a session today that extended we'll
into the afternoon, going over details. To.
morrow the members OF the commission will
meet at the old Offices. formally attach their
signatures to the original document and
proceed in a body to the executive mansion

who hold the newly created Offices OF ad-
visers to the War department on colonial
affairs
The report OF the commission is vo-
luminous document OF $50 printed pages.
Each member has been provided a printed
copy to retain and arrangements have been
nade that the president will have as many
printed copies as he wishes when he makes
the document public.
The report makes an important feature OF
the beef issue and dismisses as a general
proposition the charges that have been made
against the beef furnished the army. 1t
finds, 1t Is understood that most of the
beef was such as could be properly fur
nished as an emergency ration pointing out
that the evidence showed it never was in
tended to be anything but an emergency
ration. 1t says there were only two wit
nesses who really testified against the beef,
General Miles and Major DAILY, the chiet
surgeon, who made the report regarded as
the most sensational, forwarded to the COM
mission by General Miles.
AS to the testimony of these two wit.
nesses. the commission, 1t is understood,
goes on to point out the mass of evidence
submitted TO the contrary, as offsetting this
testimony AS to such of the canned beef
as was found TO be Objectionable, the COM
mission points out the effect OF the trop-
ical climate in producing liquefaction of the
fat in the meat and the consequent render
ing Of the contents unpalatabe Most OF
the beef. though, was found to be satisfact-
ory for emergency use where fresh beef or
beef on the hoof could not be procured.
The structures of General Miles made pub
lie on the beef and his public expressions
in other ways it is understood, are sub
jected to a severe criticism. The methods
and manner of loading the transports in
General Skaters Cuban expedition are
also discussed and responsibility placed for
the results.
The report says the evidence shows
that Secretary Alger exercised proper dill
igence and supervision and that his sub
ordinates also were efficient, experienced
and faithful The commission is a unit on
its report and there is no minority report.
AT the outset the committee divided it.
self into subcommittee for the considera
ton of branches of the main subject OF in
quiry. The sub-reports will be added to

LARGER OUTPUT OF SMALL ARMS.
Present Facilities Insufficient to the
Needs of the ARMY.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Provision for in
creasing the supply of small arms to 1000
stands a day undoubtedly will be made in
the army appropriation bill. The matter
was considered today by the military COM
mlttee Of the house, which is framing the
bill. and Major Shaler of the ordnance de-
partment explained the proposed increase of
facilities. AT present the armory at Spring
field even on double appropriation and
double time cannot supply small arms as fast
as the army requires.
The War department therefore recon-
mends an appropriation of s35OOOO for the
equipment of a small arms plant at the
Rock Island armory. The buildings and
power are already there and with the ma
chnery and fixtures the government output
of small arms can be brought up to 1000
