coming an officer and a gentleman. is, by
the siXty-trst article of war, punished 10y
dismissal from the service, ANA the court
martial, having found him guilty of Gio-
lation of this article, was permitted no
discretion as to the penalty.
BY its action the court martial found
that Eagan's language, in which he said
that Gen. Miles lies in his heart, lies in
every hair of his head, lies wilfully, delib-
erately, Intentionally and maliciously,'
was not protected by the immunity sup
posed to have been granted by the Pres-
dent to officers testifying before the com.
mission. The court agreed by direct vote
that the immunity was extended only TO
testimony, and that it did not AIRY with
it any permission to officers tG disgrace
themselves by unSccmly language toward
either a superior or a subordinate.
The court martial having found that
Gen. Eagan made use of language which
was unbecoming an officer and a gentle
man, whatever the provocation, found him
guilty of the principal charge, which, of
course, covered the second charge, with
conduct to the prejudice of good order and
military discipline.
Gen. Eagan's counsel made plea has-
ed on civil practice in favor of immunity
from prosecution, but, in the first place,
the President. who convened the court
martial, by that act apparently decided
the immunity he promised did not cover
Incorporate language, and the court mar
tial so held. 1t took the court about
forty five minutes to decide on the general
form OF their verdict

CANAL BILL PASSES SENATE.
Plan for Building the Nicaragua Ditch
Approved in Upner House

AppfoNcA III upper house.
The Senate passed the Nicaragua canal
bill Saturday. The final discussion of the
measure was had on the amendment of
Mr.. Sifoooer providing that should the
President fail = carry out the instructions
in regard to the Maritime Canal Com
pan1, he may treat directly with Nicara-
qua, Costa Rica or any other Central
American country looking to the building
of an interoceanie canal.
The canal bill fathered by Senator Nor
gan, in a somewhat different form, pass
ed the Senate once before, but failed to
receive consideration in the House The
night which was made on the bill in the
Senate was principally due to an attempt
TO change certain features of it, some of
which changes were secured, whereupon
the opposition Senators allowed the bill
10 pass without Offering serious protest.
One objection raised against the Nor
gan bill was the recognition given by it
TO the Maritime Canal Company, which
is belleyed by many to have no valuable
rights and little tangible properly. As
amended the bill aims to protect the Gov
erllment from excessive payments in this
line. Objection was made also to the part
which the United States Government is
to play in the matter. The bill provides
that the canal company shall have a cap
ital stock of $100,000,000, of which S92,-
ao0,ooo shall be subscribed by the United
states Government. The affairs of the
company are to be controlled by a board
OF Sc zen directors, five TO be named by the
President of the United States and one
each by the Governments of Nicaragua
and Costa Rica. This plan, apparently,
would require the modification of the
Clayton Bulwer treaty. Therefore it has
been contended by some of the opponents
of the Morgan bill that the United States
would better proceed TO secure the modif-
cation If the Clayton Bulwer treaty and
then build and control the canal directly,
instead Of indirectly through subsidiary
corporation.

time, especially in the building of sewers
and until these are in readiness the sys-
tenn of vaults will remain. But a strict
inspection of them will be enforced and
the poisonous leaks will be stopped. To
instance how unhealthy the condition of
life is in Havana the recent experience in
the quarters occupied by Gen. Ludlow,
near the palace, may be cited. There the
air proved so foul that candles were eX-
tinguished by Vt and even cats and dogs,
used as they were to the odors of the
capital, were sIffocated when forced to
breathe it.
In carrying out his reforms Gen. Lud-
low is experiencing the proverbial con
servatism of the Spaniard and for that
matter the Cuban. The Older residents
regard the new health regulations as un-
necessary, and well-to-do and well-inform-
ed persons in making their objections de-
scribe themselves as healthy enough" "
But healthy enough for the Spaniard
does not mean healthy enough for the
American and the sanitary reforms will
be carried through until Havana is made
as clean and wholesome as the average
American city.
OHe loItuHale InlHS Is Hoteu Ny ouA
geon General Sternberg, namely, that the
health of American troops in and near
Havana is good Medical officers, how
ever" adds Gen. Sternbere, generally
apprehend that there will be considerable
sickness as the unhealthy season ap-
proaches, and strenuous efforts are being
made to prepare for large number of
sick in case the military situation makes
it necessary to retain n considerable body
of troops in Cuba during the summer
months.
Orders have been given for the pre-
paration of the Spanish military hospital,
Alphonse Kill, which has capacity of
1900 beds; also for an officers hospital at
the Velado and for another hospital for
infectious diseases"

EXCITEMENT IN WALL STREET
Exchange Has One of the Most Excit-
ing Days in Its History.

All records of volume of transactions
in the history of the New York stock ex-
change were broken Monday. In the five
hours of business the reported sales of
stocks were 1,533, 400 shares, which
leaves far in the shade Feb. IL, 1892, one
of the great days, when the sales were
1.449.S34 shares. In addition nearly &c.
100000 par value of railway bonds were
sold. Commission brokerage firms were
actually swamped with orders, and all
business was subject to delay.
The opening was one of the most excit-
ing in the history of the exchange. 1t was
accompanied by big rises and falls, par
ticularly in two or three stocks. The bus
mess was on such a scale that reports on
orders placed with the brokers before the
opening were. in numerous instances, not
received until nearly q half hour after
ward. Intense excitement prevailed
throughout the Wall street district.

Long Wrang1e in the Senate Over Their

The contention between Sampson and

extent on Monday that the peace treaty
was forgotten and the Senators fought
anew the great battle of Santiago, touch
ed upon pending scandals in the army.
deplored the opening of similar sores in
the navy, and postponed all action on the
Presidents advancement of Sampson and
Schley for period of twenty days. This
conclusion was not reached, however. un-
til the Senate, by vote of 81 to II, or
exactly two to one, over the protests of
Senators Chandler, Hale and Lodge, or
dered the Secretary of the Navy to send
to the Senate all the papers in the case of
each of the commodores who had been
advanced on account of conspicuous con-
duct.
This was the opening chapter of the
struggle between the friends of the two
admirals, and was embellished with sew
eral heated references to. other officers
who had or had not been advanced. The
call for the papers shows that there are
several Senators who believe that no
harm will result from an investigation of
all the facts and the transmission to the
Senate of the information which led the
President to advance Sampson ten num-
bers and Schley only eight.

prepared with great care, and it received
the undivided interest of large number
OF Senators. He was applauded frequent
ly.
Senator Teller of Colorado also discuss
ed the question of colonial possessions,
contending that the constitution did not
apply to any of the territories until ex-
pressly extended by law of Congress, and
quoting from speeches of Webster to that
effect. He cited the act organizing the
territory of Orleans as providing a colo
MAJ rather than territorial form of gov
ernment, and recalled the fact that the
act had been signed by Thomas Jefferson,
who was supposed to know something
about the powers of the constitution.
Senator Clay of Georgia favored rati-
Tying the treaty, and then assist the Fill
pnos in establishing a government, whose
independence should be recognized just as
soon as 1t is found capable of performing
all in International obligations. The Sem
ator thought there should be a declaration
of policy now. He concluded by calling
attention to Gen. Leonard Woods state
ment before the military committee that
1t would require $4,000 soldiers for Cuba
and said: AT this ratio it would require
4oo,oOo soldiers to govern the Philippine
Islands as az American province"
