THE ATTITUDE or CORNELL.
Heiiefat Harvard That Disingenuous
Spirit Was Shown

Cambridge, Macs, Jan. 19.-The tele-
gram from Captain F. L. Fisher of the
Cornell crew stating CornelTs final de-
cision not to row Yale and Harvard at
New London has caused regret among
rowing men, but at the same time has
left feeling of relief that the weari-
some negotiations are over What Cor
nell men have termed "dictatorianess'
on the part of the two New England
colleges is here regarded as desirable
frankness in saying just what they
have been willing to concede, and just
how much they have felt obliged to in
sist upon. In deciding to insist on the
race being held at New London neither
Harvard nor Yale has thought to die
tate to Cornell, nor are they inclined to
blame her for rejecting the terms pro-
posed, If her interests require this
course. There is a belief, however, that
Cornell has shown disngenuous spirit
in trying to defer a decision until the
strength of her crew could be ascertain
ed. Any ill-feeling that may exist here
is only due to that belief and to the
curtness which has characterized Cor
nell's side of the correspondence.

| Washington, Jan. 19.-Just before the
close of office hours to-day General
Eagan was served with legal notice of
the ordering of a court-martial for his
messenger from the adjutant generals
Office in the usual course, and it had the
effect to relieve General Eagan from
duty as commissary-gen of the ar
my pending the conclusion of the court
martial The Office was placed in charge
of Lieutenant Colonel George b. Davis,
who has been on duty there for some
time as assistant to General Eagan. 1t
was said at the war department that
the text of the charges and specification
upon which General Eaean is to be tried
will not be made public by the war de-
partment but will be placed in the
hands of the judge advocate of the
court-martial, Colonel Davis, and the
court itself may give them publicity.
General Eagan has not yet outlined
the course he will pursue or the nature
of his defense, if he makes any. He is
at present engaged ip trying to secure
counsel, and it is believed that he has
partially succeeded in securing the ser
vices Of Mr. Worthington, ex-United
states attorney for the District of Co.
lumbia, who ranks very high in legal
circles here. He will be supported by
other counsel here, whose personnel is
not known.

VIII determine upon his plea The pro-
cedure before a military court differs
materially from the civil procedure and
it therefore becomes proper in this case
for General Eagan to return double
plea even under one charge. For in
stance, assuming that the charge is
''unbecoming an officer and a gentle
man he may plead not guilty, though
to the specifications setting out the use
of offensive language he may plead
guilty. In other words he may admit
having used the language while deny
ing that by using it he was guilty of
ungentlemanly conduct 1t will be for
the court to settle that point AS in the
case of the selection of a jury the ac-
cused has the right to reject any mem
ber Of the trial court and this right of
challenge is frequently availed of, the
usual plea for exercising 1t being a pre-
judice on the part of the challenged
member against the defendant. General
Miles is not openly concerning himself
in the matter at all. He left Washing
ton to-day for Philadelphia expecting
to return tomorrow accompanied by
Colonel Maus, a member of his staff.

Havana, Jan. 19.-General Jirnine3
Castelianos, former captain general 81
Cuba, has complained to Governor Cen
eral Brooke that the Cubans in the
province of Santa Clara are numbering
Spanish ex-volunteers. He says that
eight have been killed in one week. al
dispatch from Castellanos. who is now
at Cienfuegos, runs as follows:
Your Excellency-I have received
several communica tions announcing
assaults and acts of violence committed

ing the late Separatist war served in

sANrIAGo,s CUSTOMS RECEIPTS.
Trouble Over Them Is, Apparently, Not
Yet Settled.

| Santiago de Cuba, Jan. 19.-The Unit
ed States military authorities in Fla
vana have cabled the Santiago depart
ment an order directing that not a cent
of the customs receipts CT the depart
ment is to be expended without the per-
mission of Governor General Brooke
The order also directs that the greater
part of the sanitary work performed
shall be done without money pay and
for rations merely. The directions re-
garding the customs funds have not yet
been generally made known. AS most
people, relying upon a recent dispatch
from DR.. Joaquin Castillo, now in
Washington, have regarded this point
as definitely settled in favor of Santia-
go, it has been considered advisable
thus far not to allow the order in ques-
tion to become public, lest there be
revival of the popular excitement pro-
voked by the issuance of the original
order for the concentration Of customs
at Havana. Intelligent Cubans, how
ever. are greatly worried over the situ-
alton, as are also the Americans, as this
and recent orders virtually reduce the
military governor Of the department to
a mere automaton Such a policy as Is
now suggested regarding the work of
sanitation might have been applicable
in July and August last, but certainly
not under the changed conditions to-
day. Very likely the sanitary condi-
tions at Havana now resemble those of
Santiago then. In any event, letters
and dispatches received from the capi-
tai show dense ignorance regarding the
province.
