EAGAN TESTIFIES.
Tears in His Eyes and a
Tremor in His Voice.
Driven to His Course by Attacks on
Character and Honesty.
Secretary Alger Also TestiHes Before War IN.
vestigajiaa csnaissioa.

p
Washington, Jan. 26.-The feature Of
the proceedings before the Eagan
court martial, today. was the testi-
mony, dramatic. in many parts, in its
quiet intensity. of Commissary General
Eagan himself. Not more than Is or
~ persons outside of the court and a
dozen or SO newspaper correspondents.
were admitted to the trial room. Sew
eral witnesses preceded the chief fig
ure in the trial. Gen. Eagan listened
intently to the testimony of the wit
nesses and occasionally held brief
whispered consultations with his coun-
sci. He was dressed in full uniform.
without sword, and his fiorid face,
white hair and moustache and soldier
ly bearing recalled 10 many the late
Gen. Sheridan to whom he bears a dis
tinct resemblance. His call to the
stand was something of surprise, as
it had been thought that if he testified
at all it would be later.
When his name was called, he rose
and standing before the witness chair,
raised his right hand, took the oath
administered by the judge advocate
and at first related his army career. As
he proceeded in his testimony ii be-
came apparent that the line off defence
would be justification and extreme pro-
vocation. finally bringing on a serious
nervous condition which rendered the
witness unfit for business aud made
him to degree irresponsible for his
acts. 1t was also made evident that
the Presidents order Of immunity
would be relied on as applicable to
Gen. Eagan's testimony before the war
commission. and that therefore it
would be claimed that the cOurtmartial
had no proper Jurisdiction in the case.
When Gen. Eagan began the story
of Gen. Miles aspersiOns on him ne
raised his voice somewhat and spoke
with great earnestness. though with
perfect enunciation. In speaking OF the
criticisms of the newspapers which ne
said had been called forth by Gen.
Miles testimony, his manner was in
tensely dramatic and impressive. His
eyes filed with tears and his voice
trembled and the impression he left
with many was decidedly favorable.
After the court adjourned several
members shook his hand and in a
friendly way asked after his health.
Judge Advocate Davis stated that he
wished to submit formally the testi-
mony of General Miles as read. yes
terday. as an exhibit in this trial; and
with this statement, he said, the pros
ecution rested it's case. Mr.. Worthing.
