Eagan's Sentence May Be Modified.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.--There is almost
a positive belief among army officials that
there will be mitigation of the sentence
imposed by the court-martial which tried
Commissary General Eagan. While the
final sentence will be severe, 1t is not proba-
bic that there will be dismissal from the

Mavann to be Renovnted nt Once.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The cabinet to-
day discussed the sanitary condition of
Havana, and General Brooke will be in
structed to proceed as rapidly as possible
in his work of renovating the city. The
question of the wisdom of digging up the
streets to any great extent during the rainy
season has been presented for General
Brooke's consideration, the view of the Cab
met being against 1t.
Secretary Alger has received a telegram
from General Ludlow, governor of the Guy
of Havana, showing greatly improved SAN
itary condition in that city. The telegram is
as follows: Death rate for January reduced
40 per cent. from last year; cause, sanitation

Sing Lee works over his tubs and IRON
ing board early and late, taking only
time enough during the day TO deliver
his completed bundles to their owners
and to prepare his simple meals, which
ure popularity supposed to consist OF II
morsel of rice and an occasional house
rodent as n delicacy. But it is only
necessary to become the least bit intl-
mate with the Chinaman to learn from
him the story of his life-at least as
he interprets 1t, which may or may not
be right-probably not.
He will tell you that he Is son OF
the now famous empress dowager OF
the Celestial empire, and that he is en-
titled 10 a seat on the Chinese throne, or
if not that as yet one very near TO IT.
When asked why he does not go back
to the land of rice and rats he will tell
YOU that he is waiting for the old lady
10 pass over the great line, so that court
life in Pekiug will be more pleasant
than it is supposed to be at the present
time.

/
| where some but eke out a scanty liv-
ing and others become wealthy, dis
credit Sing Lees story and class him
as a base impostor, but still he sticks 70
his tale and claims that time will prove
its truth. In the meantime he may In
vite you In to his back room for smoke,
but he is careful to keep this latter
fact from the police.
But Sing Lees case is not as bad as
that of Baron Curt Won Biedenfeld, OF
Germany, who languishes in Chicago
prison awaiting trial for murder. And
another, Benni Won Hazeldorf, eldest
son of an Austrian baron, is working
as n helper in horseshoer's shop at
Hammond, Ind, just across the state
line from Chicago. Mr.. Won Hazeldorf
is a graduate of Heidelberg and speaks

The moral of all this is that the av-

freedom and order and peace
in the Philippines. The in
surrecion is still existing. AS
long as the insurrection con-
tinues the military arm must
necessarily be supreme. Until

Salient Points Of the rlessage Of President rIcKney
TRADE WITH CHINA

In my message to congress
of Dec. 5, 1898, l urged that the
recommendation which had
been made to the speaker Of
the house of representative
by the secretary of the treas
ury on the 18th of June, 1893,
for an appropriation for a
commission to study the COM
mercial and industrial condi-
tions in the Chinese empire
and report as to the opportu-
mites for and obstacles to the
enlargement Of markets in
China for the raw products
and manufacture of the Unit
ed States, should receive at
your hands the consideration
which it's Importance and
timeliness merited, but the
congress failed to take action.
now renew this recommen-
dation, as the Importance Of
the suggestion has steadily
grown since it was first SUBJ
mitted to you, and no time
should be lost in studying for
ourselves the resources of this
great field for American trade
and enterprise.

Adams Immediately after she had dis
covered she had taken the. poison which
resulted in her death.
Cross-examination, conducted by Bar
low S. Weeks, was long and severe, but
the attorney for the defense failed to
shake the testimony of the witness in any
important respect.
The statement of Dr. Hitchcock at the
time of the coroners inquest was gone
over as though with a fine-tooth comb
and contrasted with the statements made
at today's trial.
The drift Of the questions asked by Mr..
Weeks seemed to indicate that the defense
chung to the theory that Harry Cornish,
who gave the poison to Mrs. Adams,
knew more about the affair than he was
