NO WORD FROM EAGAN.
Some Developments In the Case Ex-
pected This Week.

Washington, Jan. 15-Apparently
there were no developments today in
the case growing out of the attack
made by Commissary General Eagan
upon General Miles in the formers
appearance before the war investigat-

will be received by the war investigat-
ing commission from General Eagan in
answer to the letter of that body, sug-
costing the expurgation OF the objec-
tionable part of his testimony. Cen
eral Eagan declines to make any state
ment in the matter for publication at
this time
William A De Caindry, the chief
clerk of the commissary generals office
of the war department, is out in a
card, admitting that he had mailed his
resignation 10 the secretary OF war,
through General Eagan, on the morn
ing after the submission of the latter's
paper to the war investigating commits
SION He says the report that the ten
der of it was due to the action of Gen
eTal Eagan in giving practical super
vision and control of the office of chief
clerk to his military assistant can only
be surmise.

a reference to the denial given last
Friday by Baron Won Bulow. German
minister of foreign affairs, through the
Berlin correspondent of the Associated
Press, to the reports that Germany
had been intriguing in the Philippines
against the Americans:
1T is to be regretted that the ire
spOnsible enthusiasm of some Washing

use of language unnecessarily offensive
to Germany. It may well be believed
that Aguinaldo and the insurgents
would have inclined to establish rela-
tons with Germany, or with any other
power; but whatever views Germany
may formerly have held. it is certain
that she has not the least idea now of
interfering with the plans of the
United States as to the Philippines.
Rather than involve herself in such
difficulties, she is more likely thinking
of the Carolines, which the American
government have advised they refused
to concern themselves about Neither

Victoria, B. c., Jan. 15.-An Associ-

members of the government that no
letter had been received by the British
Columbia government from Lord
Herschell, opposing the bill to exclude
aliens from the Atlin and other placer

here, many merchants thinking that its
passage will be a death blow to the
Quitting trade. So far the amend

that it should be made to apply to
quartz mining, an opinion, however,
which is not shared by some of the
