L N EAGAN
The Commission Return the Latter's
Statement, Requesting That He Tone
1T Do wn-Miles Waiting for the War
Department TO Take Action

Washington, January 13.-The war
investigation commission today took
prompt action on the sensational testi-
mony submitted to it yesterday by
Commissary General Eagan and sent
the statement incorporating his testi-
ony back to him, with the privilege
of resubmitting it if he chooses to re-
wise it's language. Further than this,
the commission determined it could not
and should not proceed. The commits
sion determined it could not and should
not proceed. The commission regrets
that General Eagan proceeded as far
as he did, and it is explained today
that the vituperative nature of the tes-
timony was a complete surprise to the
commission and that but for the "a
pidity with which General Eagan read
his long statement and the absorbing
vehemence of it's delivery he would
have been checked at the time.
At the time of the creation of the
commission, the president, ~instructing
the commission verbally, assured the
members that all witnesses would be
immune from punishment for what
they might say before that body, but
members of the commission say it
never was intended to indulge such Ian
guage as that given utterance to yes
terday.
Following is the commissions let
ter to General Eagan:
Strive respectfully inform you
that after your testimony was read yes
terday the following resolution was
unanimously passed:
Resolved, That the commission re-
ceive General Eagan's testimony with
out comment; that it be not printed at
once, but held for the consideration of
the commission"-carried
Having now considered the questions
involved we have determined that in
many instances the vituperative Ian
guage used by you was not such asought
to have been addressed as a witness to
this board. We think that the personal
attacks and irrelevent statements con-
tanned in the papers submitted should
be eliminated and before receiving it
as testimony we request that you will
revise it's language and if you choose
submit for our consideration. We here
with return your papers.
Very respectfully,
CHARLES DENLY,
Vice President.
General Miles when asked today
what official action, if any, would be
taken regarding General Eagan's at
tack replied that he had not made any
statement on the subject and did not
intend to forecast the proceedings of the
war department.

SELECTING HIS CABINET
General Brooke hooses Two of His
Acknowledgement Gomez a Disturb.
ing Factor i'm Cuban Affairs

Havana, January 13.-Two of the
members of the cabinet Of civil adyi-
sors which Governor General Brooke
will form will be Senior Deming Ca
pote, former vice president Of the Gu
bar revolutionary government, and
now president of the special Cuban
commission in Washington, and DR..
Jose Gonzales Lanuza, a member of
the commission. DR.. Lanuza wired
from Washington today that he would
probably be detained there for sew
eral days. Seven or eight names are
on the list of possibilities for the other
two positions in the cabinet, among
them Senior Pablo Desvernine and
Senior Adolfo Vanz. Thus far only Ha-
vana men have been considered, but
II seems desirable to make one selec-
ton from outside the capital.
General Ludlow's civil appointments
last evening, to go into eff
-tect at noon tomorrow, please the Gu
oans, but the S~paniards feel that their
element is inadequately represented.
General Maxine Gomez, who is still
in the interior, continued to keep his
programme before the people. It is this
in substance:
1. The island is not yet free and in
dependent.
2. Cubans and Spaniards should
unite in making it so.
3. All the inhabitants Of the island
should give the United States full
credit and Cooperate cheerfully for
h present.
General Gomez has written to the
principal Cuban commanders, instruct
ing them to keep he Cubans, soldiers
and civilians from committing any
outrages upon Spaniards and to aid in
the arrest Inc punishment Of any Gu
ban guilty Of such An ~offense.
Gomez is regarded by the United
States military administration as
scarcely suited to any high civil office.
He is considered a soldier Of fortune,

Between Universities Of North Caro-

Chapel Hill, N. c., January 49,
There will be no more contests on the
gridiron or diamond between the Uni
versity of North Carolina and the Uni
versity of Virginia, or at least not for
some time. The athletic association
of this university through their COM
mittee have severed all athletic rela-
tions between us. This action was
brought about by the conduct of Vir-
ginia last Thanksgiving and because
they have subsequently ignored all pro-
posals for agreement governing future
relations. Early in December the
president of our athletic association
wrote them that unless there was some
binding agreement between us there
could be no further games. Virginia
has failed to show willingness for
agreemnt; therefore, all relations are
severed. 1t is rumored that Carolina
will join the Southern intercollegiate
Association. Next Thanksgiving game
will probably be with Georgia. The
above applies also t base ball.

Especial to The Messenger.)
Raleigh, n. c., January 13.-There
was an extremely interesting hearing
this afternoon before the joint COM
mittee on constitutional amendments.
This hearing was given specially to
negroes, and Isaac H. Smith, of Cra-
Ven, Rev. r. H. w. Leak, Of Raleigh.
and Professor Crosby, of Salisbury.
appeared. Leak made the pithy re-
mark that in the south the negroes are
allowed to work and earn none to-
gether with the whites, but not to
spend it together; while in the north
they are not allowed to make it to-
gether, but can spend it together, and
that he liked the conditions here bet
ter.
Representative Rountree said the ne
gro was unfit for the ballot; that thir-
ty years experience had proved this,
n that the franchise must be cur
tailed. He said negroes at Wilmington
told him the women and church soci-
cites ostracised them if they dared to
wife any save the republican ticket.
Leak said he knew that fusionist leg
islation is to Wilmington was vicious
n that he held to responsibility the
people who brought it about. He said
the negroes were also to blame, for
they put in the men who caused the
trouble He declared he would be sat
isfied with whatever the legislature
did. Il think you are going to do what
is right" said he. He was asked if h
did lot desire some Of the money for
public schools for negroes, set apart
for an industrial school and aid he
liked the idea.
Crosby made an extremely interest
ing talk. He said there age 125, 900 ne
gro voters in North Carolina, and that
of these only %, 900 are qualified to
form an opinion as to suffrage. He said
that no negro can now hope to sus-
tain his position with his race and vote
the democratic ticket. He added that
| 100, 900 negroes always vote the repub-
lican ticket regardless Of anything. He
said: Il regard this solid black vote
as being a great menace to our govern
ment. The negroe are in fact to be
saved from themselves" He said he
had no request to make as to voting
only to ask the legislature to do what
in it's heart it thinks right; that the
majority in the legislature is far see
ing, honest and earnest. You want
. he said, "tO d~iSfranchise enough ne
! groes to make it certain that good gov
| eminent will prevail. Do that and stop
! Do not go to the extent Of persecution
He asserted that the negroes pay, in
! all, SIT, 600 for schools, or $50, 900 less
than they get. He concluded with the
assertion hat educated negroes are
not opposed to the white people.
Rountree then said: "Our main idea
is to conserve good government"
Willard F. Moore, a white convict
who murdered the Guard Shaw at &
convict camp near here, was today
brought here from the penitentiary
and arranged for murder.
