"Spain has been able to induce but
a small number of her people to set

judge from the reports sent back by
our volunteers, we shall not succeed
any better.
"But while the Philippines will
not prove inviting to Americans, we
shall probably draw considerable
number from the ISLANDS to the
United States.
"The emigration will be eastward,
rather than westward. During the
six years from 1889 to 1894 more than
10000 coolies left India. and we may
expect an influx of Malays. 1t is not
strange that the laboring men should
look with undisguised alarm upon
the prospect of Oriental competition
upon the farms and in the factories
of the United States. Our people
have legislated against Chinese
emigration, hut to exclude a few
Chinese and admit many Filippinos

lowing camel.

Montclair, N. j., Jan. 19.-Two men
were instantly killed and more than
twenty-five persons injured by the de-
railing of train at Monks Station, N.
j. The train consisted of one passenger
car and locomotive, and was in charge
of Conductor Ira Pellington, who lives
in Pompton.
The bodies of John Fredericks and
Charles Fl, Rhinesmith were recovered
from the wreckage. The injured were

Biloxi, Miss, jar. 19.-After a thor
ough and fruitless search of the Missis-
sippi sound and coast, inside and out
side of Chandelour, Ship and Horn
islands, there seems to be little cause
for hope that the naptha launch Paul
Jones is afoat, an6 every reason to be-
lieve that the persons aboard of her
have perished. Th , theory is advanced
that the little craft came to grief close
in shore, through the explosion of
naptha gas. The intense anxiety of
the friends and relatives of those
aboard the missing launch is displayed
in the free use of telegraph wires to all
points where news of her would be
likely to be obtained.

Washington, Jan. 19.-The War De-
partment had decided to court-martial
General Eagan. General Merritt will
be President of the &C urt, which will
sit at Washington. On account of the
impossibility of getting enough general
officers to make up the entire detail,
there will be- some officers of junior
rank on the court Gen. Eagan's ex-
purgated statement has been returned
to the War Investigating Commission.
1t was accompanied by Eagan's formal
apology to the Commission for the in
decent language which he used in his
vituperation of General Miles.
On Friday of last week Gen. Charles
P. Eagan, Commissary-G General of Sub
sistence, appeared before the War In
vestigating Commission and read q
lengthy statement>in which he repeat
edly charged that the assertions of
Gen. Miles respecting the operations
of the Commissary Department in the
war with Spain were lies. Gen. Eagan
referred particularly to Gen. Miles
testimony before the Investigating
Commission that the refrigerated beef
furnished the troops was embalmed
beef, and declared that this assertion
was scandalous libel.

GEN. NELSON A. MILES.

At one time Gen. Eagan said of Gen.
Miles: "He lies in his throat, he lies
in his heart, he lies in every hair of his
head and every pore of his body; he
lies wilfully, deliberately, Intentionally
and maliciously." AT another time he
said: eff his statement is false, as
assert 1t to be, then he should be
drummed out of the service and incar-
cerated in prison with other libellers. "
When the character of Gen. Eagan' 8
testimony became known at the War
Department it, t,created a greater sensa-
tion there than it had before the in
yestigating Commission. Officers IA
miliar with army laws said that Gen.
Eagan could not escape a court-martial.
Officers friendly to Gen. Eagan in the
controversy with Gen. Miles expressed
regret that such language had been
used by one officer toward the COM
manding General of the army, and ex-
pressed the opinion that there could be
no excuse for it.
A reporter saw Gen. Miles and ac-
]uainted shim,with the charges of Gen.
Eagan. Gen. Miles appeared much
amused, and, after humming few Sec

czAR's PLANS FOR PEACE.
Russian Foreign Minister on tho Coming
Congress.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 17.-Count Muir
avieff, Minister OF Foreign Affairs, has
addressed another circular to the pow
ers, expressing the opinion that despite
the clouding of the political horizon
since his first circular and the facts
that some governments are preparing
to increase their armanents, the convo-
cation of a peace Congress is still desir-
able. The Russian Government thinks
it possible and advisable to have pre-
liminary interchange of ideas by the
various Cabinets for the purpose of pre-
pairing the way for diplomatic discus
siian,.
Count Muravieff suggests that it is
desirable to arrive at an understanding
on the following points, namely, to
agree not to increase naval or military
forces and the corresponding budgets
for fixed period; second, to endeayor
to find means of reducing the forces
and budgets in the future; third, to in
terdict the use OF any new weapon or
explosive OF a power fuller than now
made: fourth, to restrict the use of the
most terrible of existing explosives, and
to forbid the throwing of any explosives
from balloons or similarly.
Fifth, to forbid the employment of
submarine torpedoes and similar con-
trivances.
Sixth, to undertake not to construct
vessels with rams.
Seventh, to apply the Geneva con-
vention to naval warfare.
Eighth, to neutralize vessels saving
those wrecked in naval battles.
Ninth, to revise the declaration con-
corning the laws and customs of war
elaborated at Brussels In 1874.
Tenth, to accept the principle of
mediation and arbitration in such cases
as lend themselves thereto.
The circular reaffirms that nothing
touching existing political relations
shall be discussed. 1t suggests that
the ultimate conference be held at the
capital of secondary power, probably
Brussels or Copenhagen.

BATTERY X INSPECTED.
Artiiierists Reviewed by the Presi-
dent in Front of the White House

Battery X, 18th United States Artillery
which has been stationed at the Washing
ton barracks for number of years. and
which has been ordered to take station at
Fort Hamilton, n. Y, the latter part of
this week, was reviewed by President Nc
kin!ey this morning in front of the Execu-
tive Mansion. AS it paraded along Penn
syivania avenue the battery attracted much
attention and earned many words of praise
by reason of its excellent appearance.
There We're six five-inch siege guns in line.
Some of the men were mounted, while those
directly charged with the handling of the
guns We're paraded on foot. Everything
was spick and span and businesslike The
national capital has reason to deeply regret
mat the battery must take station else
where.
The President and Secretary of State and
Acting Secretary Allen of the navy inspect
ed the battery, but Acting Secretary
Melkle1ohn was unable to be present.
Battery * is one of Gen. Miles fayorite
organizations. 1t is under command of
capt. CONN, very competent artillery ex-
pert 1T will have more space and oppor-
tuhity Tor maneuvers and practice at Fort
Hamilton. The guns are formidabIe-look-
field battery. and require eight horses to
handle them, even under favorable circum-
stances. Their carriages are four-wheeled,
with special recofl devices. They are fine
guns of their class, but have been rather
discountenanced by the department owing
to the expense of maintenance and the
probable infreQuency of their use.
