EAGAN REBUKED.
His Testimony Was Refused and
Copy Returned.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE war inves-
tigation commission has passed resolu-
ton of censure of General Eagan for the
language he used when he appeared to
answer the charges made against the
commissary branch of the army by Cen
eral Miles, and returned to him the care
fully prepared typewriter statement
which he left with the commission after
reading it to that body. Following is the
text of the letter ordered by the war in.
quiry commission to be sent to Eagan:
1--WE respectfully inform you that after
your testimony was read yesterday the
following resolution was unanimously
passed:
"Moved, That the commission receive
General Eagan's testimony without COM
ment; that it be not printed at once, but
held for the consideration of the commits
sion. Carried.
Having considered the question in
volved, we have decided that in many in
stances the vituperative language used by
you is not such as ought to have been ad-
dressed as witness to this board. We
think the personal attacks and irrelevant
statements contained in the papers sub
mitted should be eliminated. and before
receiving it as testimony We require that
you revise the language, if you choose to
resubmit it for our consideration. We
herewith return your papers. Very re-
spectfully, CHARLES DENLY,
"Vice President"
1t was gathered from the friends Of Ea-
gan that he is prepared to accept the sug-
gestion conveyed in the letter OF the war
inquiry commission and will amend his
statement so as to exclude the matter
complained of.
Miles Says Nothing.
When General Miles was seen in regard
to General Eagan's statement before the
war inquiry commission he said:
81 shall pay no attention to man who
seems to forget that he wears the uni
form of the United States army and that
this dignity should carry with it the in
stincts of gentleman. If the secretary
of war chooses to take cognizance of Gen
eral Eagan's language, well and good.
certainly shall not do So"

AMERICAN PRISONERS FATE
THEY ARE HELD AS HOSTAGES.
Name HIVE been Allowed to Escape
otis Has sent Aguinnldo warming
lie VIII lie Held Personally Ike
Sponsible.

New York, Dec. IA special from
Washington says:
Considerable concern has been felt IN Of
fetal circles for some time respecting the
fate of the American prisoners still held
by the Filipino insurgents. This IS due
to an intimation made by Aguinaldo IN
note to General Otis, delivered month
ago, that grave injury might befall the
prisoners if recognition OF the so-called
Filipino republic by the United States
were longer delayed
1t was in answer to this threat that the
president sent message to General Otis
for transmission to Aguinaldo announcing
that if the prisoners were maltreated in
any manner he and his subordinates
would be held personally responsible. At
that time Aguinaldo was believed to be
within the Gordon established by the
American troops reaching from San Fabian
to Isidro.
Considerable concern has been caused
by the fact that although a great many
Spanish prisoners have been allowed to
escape, not a single American has come
through the lines.

Burglar shot His victims.

Racine, Wis, Dec 9.-Rev. d. B. Che
ney, pastor of the First Baptist church,
and his wife were shot and probably fatal
ly injured by burglar who entered their
home.
AT a point of revolver they were
compelled to turn over money and jewelry
and then thinking that they were endeav-
oring to conceal some valuables the bur-
glar shot them both and escaped.
A large posse of police and private cit
liens are securing the country for him.
If he is caught it is believed the law will
be powerless to prevent a lynching. Rev
David B. Cheney is one of the best known
Baptist preachers in the state. A reward
OF $500 is offered for the capture of the
burglar, dead or alive

NOlde and Horst hosiery factory set fire

pletely destroyed. The loss was s25O,OOO,.
600, and the insurance Sl50,000.
There were about 600 girls in the build
ing and these crowded to the roof and
fire escapes. The fire spread with an
alarming rapidity and they were thrown
into a general panic. Many jumped ia
the ground and at least so were injured
it is believed. Some are reported to oe in
a critical condition. Two bodies have been
recovered from the ruins. They were un-
recognizable, being burned to a crisp.
Three girls are reported to be missing
from their homes and the presumption is
they were burned to death.

Washington, Dec l3.-The war depart
ment has received the following from
General Otis:
Manila, Dec. l3.-In Bulacan province
the insurgents had been scattered and
driven east to the mountains. Our casual
ties in that section in the last few days
were 10. The insurgents casualties, in
killed, wounded and prisoners, aggregated
100. Considerable insurgent property,
with arms and ammunition, were cap
tured. Our troops now in the mountains
are in pursuit of the insurgents.
There is no concentrated insurgent force
of any Importance in Luzon north of Ma
Mia.
Two thousand additional Spanish pris-
oners were secured in northern Luzon,
making over 5000 released within the
month. Seven hundred are now en- route
from Vigan and transports will be sent
for the remainder.

Chicago Won.

Madison, Wis, Dec. 1.-THE western
football championship goes to Chicago.
Before at least 10000 people the eleven OF
the University of Chicago defeated the
University of Wisconsin by score of z
to 0 in a game that for desperate play
ing and clean, scientific football, has prob
ably never been equalled ON a western
gridsron.
1t was game between a team which in
offensive playing was perfect, with wealth
er and wind in its favor, and an eleven
whose dense play up to today had been
compact enough to protect the goal line
from all opposing elevens except Yale.
But ChicagO's mass plays were iresisti-
bic, and though the Badgers fought until
they could fight no more through the first
half and again in the second half, the
Maroon backs plunged through Wiscon-
sins line until the ball was carried over
the goal line. Only once did Wisconsin
have chance to score, and that one
chance they were unable to avail them.
selves of, as with the ball on their own
l5-yard line, the Chicago forwards braced
so effectively that on four downs the bal
was only showed forward three yards. In
this respect the Chicago players surprised
their supporters. The defensive play wa:
far stronger than expected, and ever
when Wisconsin had the ball, which wa.
seldom, O'Dea was compelled to kick il
most instances.

SAMPSON-SCHLEY QUESTION
Controversy to which Won San
fiago victory stiII Unsettled.

New York, Dec IA special from
Washington says:
1t is said that the president will soon
send to congress special message regard
ing rewards for officers and men from the
Atlantic fleet who distinguished them
selves during the war with Spain and
whose gallantry has not yet been recog-
nized.
President Mckinley has the same Samp-
sons chley matter under serious consider
alton He is understood to be willing that
bill should be passed authorizing the re-
vival Of the grade of vice admiral for the
benefit of Rear Admirals Sampson and
Schley, the former to be given seniority
of the other. 1t is believed Secretary
Long will join in indorsing this solution
of the controversy.
What will probably cause considerable
criticism among Rear Admiral Schley's
friends is the determination of Secretary
Long to name Admiral Sampson in the
measure he Is preparing, giving the
thanks of congress to the commander-in-
chief of the north Atlantic squadron and
the officers and men under his command.
1t is not believed, however, that the
president will transmit such a resolution
to congress, knowing what determined OPP
position it will meet and the probability
that friends of Schley would have his name
substituted for that of Sampson and pass
the resolution in that form.

BOERS ON MODDER RIVER,
Methuen Has Driven Them From En-

trenched Position on Hills.
Modder River, Dec. l2.-The naval four
seven-inoh battery again took up a posi-
ton north of the camp, while the How
itzer battery was posted to the southeast
on the left OF the Beers. Both opened a
hot fire with Lyddite shells and shrapnel,
to which the Beers sharply responded with
a dozen guns, thus unmasking their posi-
ton, which was the object OF the British
maneuver. After an hours fighting the
Boer guns were silenced. The howitzers
searched the trenches and then threw shell
after shell upon the hills, the explosion of
the Lyddites causing the whole ground
over an extensive area to rise in the air in
dense brown clouds. A Boer long gun
was dismantled. 1t now appears that the
Beers intend that the next fight is to take
place at Magorsfontein. Apparently Spy
fontein is not defended or the Beers are
unwilling to unmask their position there.
