| Naval Personnel Bill WINS Discussed
Trouble with Germany Predicted.
i Washington, January 13-The house TO-
Z day entered upon the consideration OF the
naval personnel bill II developed much
less opposition than was anticipated and
the indications are that 1t will have a
large majority when II Is placed upon Its
passage tomorrow. The last vestige Of OPP
! position to the measure from the line Of
( fcers OF the navy was removed today
when an amendment was adopted designed
to prohibit staff officers, upon whom the
/ bill confcrs positive rank, from exercising
command save IN their own corps. The
committee also asserted their purpose to
offer an amendment tomorrow to repeal
the law giving prize money to the navy.
and this announcement met with warm APP
proval. The speeches on the bill today
were filled with glowing illusions to the
glories Of cur naval victories In the late
war and Mr.. Berry (tKy.) created a great
deal Of enthusiasm by his culogy of Schley
as the hero Of Santiago.

special order adopted on Monday last the
house went into committee OF the whole
on the naval personnel bill Mr.. Hopkins

the consideration OF the naval appropria-
lions bill. An effort to fix time for the
conclusion OF the debate failed and Mr..
Foss (Rep,. III, who was in charge OF
the bill, took the floor with general argu-
ment In support OF the measure Since 1882,
he said we had devoted ourselves to build
ing new navy, but little or no attention
had been paid to the personnel OF the navy.
Men were az important as ships. The basis
OF the present bill was bill drafted by a
board OF naval officers, at the head OF
which was then Assistant Secretary OF the
Navy Theodore Roosevelt and composed
of officers oil the line and staff This pro-
posed change in the personnel Of the navy
was revolutionary. he admitted. but It
was necessary to keep pace with the Won
derful evolution In the construction and
nature of our modern warships The in
crease in the number OF officers provided
by the bill was ninety nine. We had nc
quired 1913 additional vessels during the
war with Spain. Besides fifty-fve chips
were now under construction. These yes
selG must be Differed.
Nj. Foss gave notice that he intended at
the proper time TO offer an amendment TO
abolish prize money In the navy. The
voluntary retirement feature was REIN
forced by the experience OF the var. Its
purpose was 10 give officers command
rank at 4J. Dewey was go al Manila. but

would tend to strengthen the navy and

GENERAL EAGAN
Will Not Be Dismissed from the
Army, but Will Have No Further
Connection With It.

WASHINGTON, D. c., February T.
The President to-day caused to be pro-
mulgated the sentence in the case of Gen
Charles P. Eagan. The court-martial SEN
tence was dismissal from the army, and
the President has committed this to six
years suspension from duty which covers
the remainder of the time prior to Gen
Eagan's retirement, in January, 1905.
1t was stated by the Adjutant General
that General Eagans suspension carries
him to within a few days of his retire
ment under the age limit He will be
reinstated in time to retire with the reg
ular rank and pay provided in such cases.
The sentence of suspension according to
legal officers of the department does not
deprive Gen. Eagan of any part of his
pay, but as the sentence reads without
rank and duty he loses his allowances
which include Communication of quarters.
rations and fuel, and his horse allowance.
This is quite a large financial item.

MANY DESPERAOOES
Among the Natives Who Still Infest Manila.
Efforts to Assassinate Americans

Among the Natives Who Still Infest Manila.
Efforts to Assassinate Americans.
Manila, February is p. m.-There
are many indications that Manila is
full of deSperadOS who had intended
to cooperate with Aguinaldo. The po-
lice are continually capturing men and
women with weapons concealed in their
clothing. The vigilance of the author
tiles in this respect is highly reassur-
ing.
Last Saturday about midnight two
Englishmen accidentally encountered a
gang of armed natives in dark side
street. The natives, fearing discovery,
imprisoned them until morning and
threatened to kill them unless they
maintained silence.
Many native clerks, employed by
mercantile houses, are missing. AS it
is impossible that they should have
passed the lines, the inference is that
they are hiding in the city.
Several Attempts were made to assas-
sinate Americans on the streets, but
that danger is now at a minimum. The
natives are terribly cowed, and the pre-
cautions taken, especially against in
cendiarism, are admirable.
The rebels who have been swept in
every direction like pheasants in a
battue, die by the hundreds in the
trenches-for the most part passively,
except the Ygorotes, who charge des-
perately and uselessly.
The rebel prisoners declare that their
attack was unprecedented; that the
outposts fired and then everybody fol-
lowed in accordance with a sort of
general understanding

ton.
Gen. McArthur's division advanced
beyond Gagalangin without loss, the
enemy retreating upon Caloocan.
The Americans now have the steam
car line to Malabon, and six hundred
marines, with four maxims, have been
landed from the feet on the beach
north of the city.
The T-ird artillery, on the main
road, and the Utah battery in a ceme-
terry, covered the advance of the Kan
sas troops.
Among the important points captur-
ed was a strong embrasured earthwork
within sight of Caloocan.
There was considerable firing from
the upper windows of the houses in
the native quarter of the city last night,
but no casualties have been reported
as the result.
The signal corps were compelled to
run their lines along the firing line
during the fighting and consequently
there were frequent Interruptions or
communication, owing to the cutting
of the wires, and the signal men were
ordered to kill without hesitancy any
one who attempted to interfere with
the lines.

BLUEFIELD ROASTED.
Congressman Handy, of Delaware object
ed to $50. 600 Public Building.

Special to the Register.
WASHINGTON, d. c.. February T.
Congressman Handy, of Delaware. made
a severe attack in the House to-day on
the bill providing for a public building at
Bluefieldd, w. Va, which is in Mercer
county, and in the congressional district
of Representative Dorr, member of the
Committee on Public Buildings. 1t was
urged that ten years ago Bluefield was
nothing but a cross road. a town that had
not attained the Pine shanty stage" and
that it had seemed necessary to declare
in the report that there was "one brick
building in the town. 1t is a center for
coal mining, and the report recommended
$4,000 for a public building. Congress
man Dorr made no reply. and the bill
passed the House.
No action has vet been taken on the
bill for the enlargement of the Wheeling
postoffice.

the constant Outrages and taunts
which have been causing misery to the
Manilans," and refers to the useless
conferences" and contempt shown for
the Filipino government as proving
'premeditated transgression of justice
and liberty"
The rebel leader also refers to the
former losses of the Filipinos, but says
Slavery is bitter" and calls upon them
to sacrifice all upon the altar of honor
and national integrity" He insists
that he tried to avoid, as far as pos
Sible, an armed conflict, but claims that

Der that efforts are not to be wasted
that ends may be gained. 1t is indis-
pensable to adjust our actions to the
