TREATY MUST Be
RATIFIED BY SPAIN
Madrid Notified of Its
Adoption.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Feb. THE State
Department was advised to-day by the
White House that the United States
Senate had formally ratified the peace
treaty yesterday. Secretary Hay at
once sent a notice to that effect to M.
Thiebaut, the Charge d'Affaires of the
French Embassy here, with the request
that he communicate the fact to the
Spanish Government. This course is
necessary, as direct diplomatic inter-
course has not yet been resumed be-
tween the United States and Spain.
There is nothing now to do but to
await the action of the Spanish Gov
ernment. The Cortes must ratify the
treaty as did the United States Senate.
1t assemblies this month and it is not
believed there will be much delay. 1t
is said to be impossible under the Span
ism parliamentary procedure for the
treaty to be held under consideration
before the Cortes for any such length
of time as it was before the United
States Senate.
According to the terms of the treaty.
f1nal ratifications must be exchanged
on or before the 10th of June, but il
is expected they will actually be ex-
changed long before that date. The
exchange must take place in Washing
ton and the Spanish Government prob
ably will send an especially empowered
ambassador for that purpose.
some time before the notifications are
exchanged the President must sign the
treaty, thus formally approving the
action Of the United States Senate

time

REPATRIATION OF
SPANISH PRISONERS

WASHINGTON Feb. 7.-Nothing has
been done since last week by the War
Department in the matter of repatriat-
ing the Spanish prisoners in the Philip
pines. 1t was expected on Thursday
that by Saturday General Otis would
supply the department the total num-
Der of Spaniards to be carried home.
and that on the receipt of this informa-
ton the contract would be formally
awarded to the Spanish Compania
Trans-Atlantica. On Saturday General
Otis was otherwise engaged, and the
list has not yet been received by the
Quartermaster Generals office.
1t is said, however, that the military
action in the Philippines probably will
not interfere with the shipment of the
Spanish prisoners to Spain, and NAV
rather accelerate 1t, as the dispatches
from General Otis indicate a number of
refugee Spaniards in the insurgent
ranks, and the presence of a large num-
Der of prisoners of war in Manila makes
that many more mouths, to feed. he
sides diverting large number of Gen
eral Otis forces from an aggressive
campaign to guard the prisoners
against an uprising.

SUSPENSION OF SIX YEARS

Special Dispatch to The Call.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE Presi-
dent to-day promulgated the sentence
in the case of General Charles Eagan.
The court martial sentence was dis
missal from the army and the President
has commuted this to six years sus-
pension from duty, which covers the re-
mainder of the time prior to General
Eagan's retirement on January 1, 1906
The following is the text Of the order
of the President:
The accused, after a trial by courtmar-
tial composed of officers of high rank and
distinguished services, has been found
guilty of conduct unworthy an officer
holding commission of the United States
and obnoxious in the highest degree to the
discipline and good order of the military
establishment. Such behavior is especial
ly deserving of condemnation in an off,
Ger holding his rank in the army and
charged with the performance of difficult
and important army administrative duties
III a time of great public emergency and
from whom, when subjected to adverse
criticism, an unusual degree of restraint
and constant and unfailing self-controI
are confidently expected. The proceed
ings finding said sentence in the case OF
Brigadier General Charles P. Eagan, COM
missary general of subsistence, United
States army, are therefore approved
In view, however, of his gallant con-
duct IN battle upon more than one oc-
casion, which merited and has received
the, warm commentator of his superiors,
and of his long and honorable record of
service. extending over a period surpass-
ing in duration that usually allotted to a
generation, having regard also to the
mitigating circumstances which were de-
veloped during the trial of the case, and
in difference to the recommendation to
clemency submitted in his behalf, the sem
tence imposed by the court is commuted
to suspension from rank and duty for SIX
years. WILLIAM MCKINLEY.
1t was stated by the adjutant general
that General Eagan's suspension car
r1ed him to within a few days of his
retirement and to the age limit. He
VIII be reinstated in time to retire with
the regular rank and pay provided in
such cases. The sentence of suspension,
according to legal officers of the de-
partment, does not deprive General
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, ra-
t1ons and fuel and his horse allowances.
This is quite large financial item.

probable that the threatened

sides, to the inconvenience, nat
urally, of the civilians. All the
public conveniences at this writ
ing have either been impressed or
have disappeared in some manner
or other. Street car traffic, how
ever, has been resumed and the
cars are running regularly,
though the streets are almost de-
serted. There are few natives
TO reopen the shops, and white
flags in the nature of towels, pill
low slips and aprons tied to bam-
boos adorn the windows of the
natives residences everywhere.
But in spite of these emblems of
peace, scores of Filipinos, under
the cover of darkness, fired from
these same windows yesterday
evening on the American patrols.
At 9 o'clock last night there was
a general fusillade in Quiapo and
Binondo districts. The inhabi-
tants of the city generally be-
lieved that a battle was raging at
their doors, lights were extin-
guished inside the dwellings and
majority of the people were in
state of terror. Under the cir
cumstances it is remarkable that
no casualties were reported. Sew
eral shots were fired across the
river during the excitement.
The Americans now have the
railway line to Caloocan, and Goo
marines with four Maxims have
been landed at Fleet beach, north
of the city, near Malabon, and
covering that town.
There are many indications
that Manila is full of desperadoes
who had intended to cooperate
with Aguinaldo. The police are
continually capturing men and
women with weapons concealed
in their clothing. The vigilance
of the authorities in this respect
is highly reasSuring.
Last Saturday about midnight
two Englishmen accidentally en-
countered a gang of armed ma
tives in a dark side street. The
natives, fearing discovery, i'm
prisoned 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
assassinate Americans on the
street, but that danger is now at
a minimum. The natives are ter
ribly cowed and the precautions
taken, especially against incen-
diarism, are admirable.
The American troops are be-
ing promptly furnished with
Supplies of all kinds. In brief,

-Bismark' s brain is, perhaps, the heav-

fifty-eight ounces, or 1867 grammes,

the weight of Bismarcks brain is only
calculated from head measurements, and
therefore, VIZ. cannot affirm thatit makes
the record. Byron had a large brain,
