MAY MODIFY HIS LANGUAGE.
| Course i'm the Eagan-MiIes COntrO-
versy Depends Upon Engan.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE key to the so
luton of the difficulty between Gen.
Eagan and Gen Miles was to-day in the
hands of the former.
The next affirmative action must come
from him if there is TO be action. The
war commission having called upon him
to modify his statement, nothing can be
done until he either has revised his first
declaration or has notified the commits
sioners of his refusal to do so.
IL is confidently expected by the best in
formed officials that the commissary gen
eral will modify his statement to meet
the criticisms of the commission. He him
self will make no statement touching his
purposes.
Opinions still vary as to whether the
withdrawal of the offensive statements
will end this incident. The weight of opin-
ion seems to be that the President him
self and Secretary Alger, In whose hands
the cabinet rested the whole matter after
its consideration yesterday, have not yet
made UP their minds as to what course
they shall pursue. Probably much de-
pends upon the expression Of public opin-
ion

William J. Bryan's views on

William Bryan'S views on
on McKinley's message may be
briefly summarized as follows:
He is not surprised at the
tenor of the document, for moth
ing else could be expected from
Mckinley, who, he declared. was
the exponent of the party that
has ever fostered trusts, and that,
in waging wars Of conquest, ever
operated on the memory that
right is might. On the money
question, Mckinley has adopted
the views of Wall street, while
Oh trusts he confines himself to
q general condemnation Of them
without suggesting a remedy.
In discussing the Philippine
question Bryan declares that
Mckinley plants himself on the
strong monarchical ground that
the strong have divine right to
take care OF the weak and kill
the weak if they object, In re>
gard to the House currency bill,
Mr.. Bryan says it is part of the
gold standard plan and he hopes
it will be defeated.
