GERMAN VIEW or SITUATION.
Papers Think Samoan Trouble May
Take q Serious Turn.

Berlin, Jan. 19-The news from Samoa
has been received as foreboding. The Lo-
kal Anzeiger says:
All this doubtless signifies an appreci-
able quarrel, and with the uncoremonious-
ness which the Americans haye affected
lately toward us, it may easily take a
serious turn. The Samoan condomnium
has always involved a lurking danger"
The Vossiche Zeitung says:
The situation will become even graver
when the American warship arrives at
Apia. 1t is said that the Washington de-
partment of state has instructed the Unit
ed States consul general there, L. w. Os-
borne. not to trust the German consul
Evidently the United States, who are
least interested in Samoa among the three
powers do not mean to respect Germany's
paramount interests. Germany Will have
to show frmness, all the more so, as our
position is made the worse by the evident
desire of England to help the United
States so as to retain the latter's friend
ship"
1t was stated at the state department to-
day that dispatches had been received
from United States Consul Osborne at
Apia but as to their nature. the officials
had nothing to say beyond that they went
to confirm the news dispatches printed
this morning. Admiral Kautz, the COM
mander of the Pacific station, is now on
board his flagship, the Philadelphia, and
it was stated al the navy department that
he would accompany that ship to Samoa.

THE CHARGES AGAINST EAGAN.
SPECIFICATIONS QUOTE LARGELY
FROM his STATEMENT.

Charged With Conduct Unbecoming
an officer and Gentleman, and
Conduct PreiudiciaI to Good order
and Military Discipline-Has Not
Outlined His COurse-Can Plead
Not Guilty to Charge and Guilty
to Specification.
Washington, Jan 19.-The charges and
specifications in the court-martial of Com
missary General Eagan have been drafted
and are now in the hands of the Presi-
dent.
The charges are conduct unbecoming an
officer and a gentleman, and conduct pref
JUDICIAL to good order and military disci-
pline. The specifications quote largely
from Gen. Eagan's statement attacking
Gen. Miles before the war investigating
commission.
Gen. Eagan was served with legal notice
of the ordering of a court-martial for his
trial just before the close of office hours
to-day. This notice was delivered by the
messenger of the adjutant general in the
usual course. and had the effect of reliev-
iiI5 NIGIl I4dSdI liOiIA auly as NClAiAAl99eAA y
general of the United States Army, pend
ing the conclusion of the court-martial.
The office was placed in charge of Lieut.
Col. George b. Davis, who has been on
duty there for some time as assistant to
Cen. Eagan.
It was said at the war department that
the text of the charges and specifications
upon which Gen Eagan is to be tried will
not be made public by the department.
but will be placed in the hands of the
judge advocate Of the court martial, Col.
Davis, and that the court-mdrtial itself
may give them publicity.
Gen Eagan has not yet outlined the
course he win pursue or the nature of his
defense, if he makes any. He is at pres
ent engaged in trying to secure counsel,
and it is believed has partially succeeded
in securing the services of Mr.. Worthing-
ton, eX-United States attorney for the Dis
Tract of Columbia, who ranks very high
in legal circles here. He win be supported
by other counsel here whose personnel is
not known. After he has conferred with
these he win determine upon his plea.
Can Make Double Plea.
The procedure before military court
differs matrially from the civil procedure
and 1t therefore becomes posi- bic an this
case for Gen. Eagan TO return double
plea, even under one charge. For instance
assuming that the principal charge is con
duct unbecoming an officer and a gentle
man." he may plead not guilty, though
to the specifications setting OUT
the use of the offensive language, he may
plead guilty. In other words, he may ad-
NIT having used the language. while deny
ing that by using it he was guilty of un-
gentlemanly conduct 1t Will be for the
court 10 settle that point.
AS in the case of the selection of a jury
the accused has the right to except to any
member of the trial court, and this right
of challenge Is frequently availed of, the
usual plea Tor exercising it being preju-
dice on the part of the challenged member
against the defendant.
Gen. Miles is not openly concerning him
self in the matter, if at all. He left
Washington to-day for Philadelphia, ex-
pecting to return tomorrow.

THE KEELEY MOTOR A FAKE.
Tubing Found by Which Natural
Forces Could BE EmpIoXed.

Philadelphia, Jan. 19.-The Press to-day
publishes an article covering, with Illus
ratons, over page in space. giving the
details of an invest tigauon made by that
paper of the dismantled workshop of the
late John w. Keely which investigation
the Press contends clearly proves the
mysterious Keely motor to have been
delusion and deception, and that its allas-
ed mysterious forces were the result of
trickery.
In the investigation, which has been in
progress over a week, the flooring OF the
workshop was taken up and a brick parti-
ton waIl was removed. The Press was
assisted in the work by Prof. Carl Herring,
a consulting engineer of experience; Prof
Arthur w Goodspeed, assistant professor
of physics Of the University of Pennsyl-
vania; Prof Lightner Wilmer. professor of
experimental psychology at the University
of Pennsylvania, and DR.. NJ. G. Miller,
who has had special training in explora-
lion and research in the way of mound
digging, and accordingly superintended
all the digging operations.
Clarence B. Moore, son of Mrs. Bloom
field Moore, was an interested spectator.
The statements in the article, which are
substantated by signed statements of the
above named scientists, are 20 the effect
that tubing was found concealed in the
brickwork and under the floor of The lab
oratory. This, it is claimed, laid bare the
possibilities of deception, as the tubing
is of the kind calculated to stand high
pressure, and could have been used in
connection with the great steel sphere
found last week in the laboratory which
the experts intimate was used as a res
ervoir for compressed air or compressed
gases, and the tubing could thus form an
agency for the forces that moved the mo-
tor in the exhibition room.
The contention of MIR. Keely and his
friends for many years has been that no
tubing of any kind was needed to work
his machines. The views of Mr. Herring
and Prof Goodspeed are that the presence
of the tubing and sphere indicates the
use of normal forces and possible decep-
tion on the part of Keely. In this view
Clarence Moore concurs, and Prof. Will
mer feels that the possibility of trickery
confirms the diagnosis that most phychol-
ogists make as to the delusive character
of the Keely mystery.

BRooKE's PERMISSION FIRST.
Customs Receipts Cannot he spent
without His Consent.


without His Consent.
Santiago, Jan. 19.-The United States
military authorities in Havana have ca
bled the Santiago department an order
directing that not a cent Of the customs
receipts of the department Is to be ex-
pended without the permission of Gov
Gen. Brooke. The order also directs that
the greater part OF the sanitary work per-
formed shall be done without money pay
ment and for rations merely.
The direction regarding the customs
funds have not yet been made generally
known As most people relying upon a
recent dispatch from Or. Joaquin Castillo
now in Washington, have regarded this
point as definitely settled in favor Of
Santiago it has been considered advisable
thus far not to allow the order in question
TO become public, lest there be a renewal
OF the popular excitement provoked by the
issuance of the original order for the con-
centration Of customs at Havana.
Intelligent Cubans who are in possession
of the facts, however, are greatly worried
over the situation, as are also the Ameri-
cans. for this and other recent orders vir-
tually reduce the military governor Of the
department to a mere automaton.

The Glendower left Philadelphia Dec q,

Dec. 2S. Shortly afterward the Glendower

fury, and enormous seas boarded the YES
