HIS ACTION NOT DUE TO POLITICS.

TO RETIRE FROM THE CATHOLIC
CLUBS PRESIDENCY

The announcement that ex-Justice Joseph f. DAILY
will not be a candidate for recollection 10 the
presidency Of the Catholic Club at the annual meet.
ing tomorrow night has given rise In some quar-.
ters to the impression that Justice Days attitude
toward Richard Croker had something to do with
his decision. Judge DAILY was not In town yester-
day. but an officer Of the Catholic Club told
Tribune reporter yesterday afternoon that politics
had nothing TO do with the action which Judge
DAILY had taken, and that so far from any pressure
being brought TO bear him to give up the presi.

urged to remain In Office

QUIET SUNDAY IN MANILA.

CURED the Sabbath.

Contrary to Expectations no Fighting oc-
Cured the Sabbath.
Manila, Feb. 14-Contrary to gener.
al expectations, all was quiet along
the line Sunday, nothing having hap
pened to disturb the peace of the Sab
bath in Manila. The inhabitants have
generally recovered from the alarm
occasioned by the fear of native up
rising and are resuming their ordinary
business. The shipping interests are
naturally suffering, since there have
been no clearances for Philippine ports
for week, but on the other hand for
eign shipping has increased, especially
for Hongkong, every steamer bound
thither being crowded with timid
refugees.
Last week there was not single
day without fighting, but the Ameri-
cans steadily advanced, carrying every
thing before them.
1t is now known that the Filipino
loss is fully $500 killed, with wounded
vastly in access of that number, and
thousands are held prisoners. All this
has been achieved at the cost of 65
Americans killed and 276 wounded.
There were twenty-fve Americans un-
accounted for.

JAPANESE REBELLION.
Rebels In Formosla are Gaining Strength
and Looting Many Cities.

Victoria. B. G. Feb. i1.--Advices
from the Orient state that the Chinese
rebels in Formosia are rapidly gaining
strength, and many cities are being
looted. About the middle of January
a battle occurred between the Chinese
insurgents and Japanese troops at
Taipehfu. The engagement resulted
in victory for the rebels, who after
succeeding, by their flank movements,
In dodging the Japanese Are and com
ing to close quarters, fought hand to
hand three hours Hundreds were cut
down, and when the Japanese were
finally beaten back they left between
$50 and 400 dead on the field. The rebel
loss did not reach 100. Advancing
after their victory, they captured Tuz-
Ian, about seven or eight miles from
Torpeh The inhabitants were terror
lied, and there was rush to Annoy for
safety.

General OTIS Plan Is to Keep the InsuR-

Washington, Feb. l2.-Iloilo is now
being bombarded by portion of Ad-
miral Dewey's fleet unless the natives
have surrendered on the demand made
by General Miller, who is in command
there.
General Otis advised Secretary Alger

infantry to reinforce General Miller
and the commanding officer of that
organization carried instructions to
him to demand the evacuation of lloilo
by 0 o'clock Friday morning,
If this demand was not complied
with Immediately the instructions were
to begin the bombardment of Iloilo
and continue it until the rebels ran up

The navy will, of course, cooperate

service and it will cover the landing

once and have the unpleasant duty

way drive all thoughts of renewing

Judging from appearances the Filipi-
nos are being reinforced by better
drilled men from the northern prov

as thick as swarm of bees.
The American troops feel the heat
at midday in the open, but they are
anxious to proceed. The soldiers are
impatient of restraint, while in sight
of the enemy.
The Filipinos are still entrenching
themselves on the left of Caloocan.

WHAT THE COMMISSION FOUND.
Many Offenses, But no Offenders Except
Miles and His Surgeon

Washington, Feb. 4-Following is
Synopsis of the report of the war in
vestigation commission, which has
been made public;
There was lacking in the general ad-
ministration of the war department
during the continuance of the war
with Spain, that complete grasp of the
situation which was essential to the
highest efficiency and discipline of the
army.
The commission finds that the in
spector generals department was not
as efficient as it ought to have been.
The condition of the railroad conges-
tion during the early portion of the
time Tampa was occupied by troops
seemed unparalleled, showing almost
inexcusable lack of executive ability
on the part of those charged with the
loading, unloading and handling OF
trains.
The transportation provided for the
Shafter expedition was insufficient, the
vessels were overcrowded poorly equip
ped and not loaded Systematically.
The army was painfully deficient in
land transportation.
General Miles was guilty of derelic-
tion of duty in failing to report to the
war department his belief that the re-
frigerated beef had been chemically
treated.
The commission is of the opinion
that no refrigerated beef furnished by
contractors was subjected or treated
with chemicals by the contractors or
those in their employ
The nursing force during the
months of May, June and July was
neither ample or efficient, for which
congress was responsible.
At Camp Wikoff there was some
lack of proper attention to matters OF
sanitation, and to the sick, and with
out doubt cases of distress, it may be
neglected, but there was much exagger-
alton in what was written and said
about Camp Wikoff.

TROUBLE IN SAMOA.
1t Has, According to Washington Diplo-

lt itas, according TO washington Dipio-
mats, Assumed New Phase.
Washington, Feb. 10. The Samoan
trouble is assuming Il somewhat new
phase, according to the views of lead
ing diplomatic authorities, and one
likely to bring about an adjustment
on lines not heretofore contemplated
This is in part foreshadowed in the
official statement of the parliamentary
secretary In the house of commons, to
the effect that further information
would be awaited before considering
the recognition of Mataafa as king of
Samoa.
Mataafa is not the claimant who has
thus far received the support of the
British and American authorities, as
they have upheld Malietoa Tanus, who
had been declared by Chief Justice
Cham bers, an American, as rightfully
entitled to the throne.
While the announcement in the
house Of commons is open to various
interpretations, In yet it seems to show
quite clearly that the recognition of
Mataafa. who was upheld by the Ger
mans, may be taken into consider.

RETIRED FOR SIX YEARS.
This Is the Sentence Commissary General
EagAn Receives.

Washington, Feb 9.-The president
mas caused to be promulgated the SEN
tence in the case of General Charles p.
Eagan. The court-martial sentence
was dismissal from the army, and the
president commuted this to six years
suspension from duty, which covers the
remainder of the time prior to General
Eagan's retirement in January, 1905.
1t was stated by the adjutant gem
eral that General Eagan's suspension
carries him to within few days OF
his retirement and to the age limit.
He win be reinstated in time to retire
with the regular rank and pay pro-
vided In such cases. The sentence OF
suspension, according to legal officers
of the. department, 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 quar-
ters, rations and fuel, and his horse
allowances. This is quite large
financial item.
