Commission Will Probably Receive
Word From Eagan.
WASHINGTON, Jan 15.--Apparently
there We're no developments to-day in
the case growing out of the attack
made by Commissary General Eagan
upon General Miles in the formers ap-
pearance before the War Investigating
Commission. During the coming week
the probability is that some word will
be received by the War Investigating
Commission from General Eagan in an
swer to the letter Of that body suggest
ing the expurgation Of the objection
able part of his testimony. General
Eagan declines to make any statement
in the matter for publication at this
time.
The Chief Clerk of the Commissary
Generals office of the War Department
Is out in a card admitting that he had
mailed his resignation to the Secretary
of War through General Eagan ON the
morning after the submission Of the
latter's papers to the War Investigat-
ing Commission. He says the report
that the tender of it was due to the
action Of General Eagan in giving prac-
tical supervision and control of the
Office of Chief Clerk to his military as
sistant, can only be a surmise. The
card continues: '"The reason for the
presence of every provision in the con-
tracts made by Commissary General
Eagan with Swift & Co. for chilled, re-
frigerated or frozen fresh beef for the
army can be explained by me, and, not
being aware of any investigation by
General Eagan as to who drew up the

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Senor
Agoncillo, the representative of Aguin-

The letter and the memorandum
have been listed as official documents
in the State Department and although
The officials themselves have refused
to make them public, they have never
Ineless expressed willingness for Sc
nor Agoneille' to do so if he desired.
The- papers are now in the hands of
Secretary Hay. The memorandum is
along the same lines as statements

seven months have maintained a form
sof government resembling the Ameri-

sof the people to rule; that Spain hav-

treaty of peace possession of only one
port and the remainder of the Philip
pines, except Manila, being in the pos

by relatives of the woman. Word was
received tonight that the Duluth au
thorities had issued a permit to allow
the body to be brought again to this
city. Coroner Downs, with a hearse.
went to the grave and commenced to
open it. While SO engaged mob of
80 Jews of the faction opposed to dis
interment attacked him and he was
compelled to desist. Downs returned
here under close surveillance.
He proposes to go out about midnight
with enough of a following to bring the
body to this city, where DR.. Conklin

ALARGE CLAIM.
A Contractor Who Helped Farragut
in His Operations.

TERRE HAUTE Qnd.), Jan. 10
Captain William Taylor of this city has
forwarded to this city claim against
the Government in the sum of $12,ooo-
The matter will be looked after by Con-
gresham George w. Faris.
During the civil war Captain Taylor
was engaged in building canal from
the Bayou Fuch to the Mississippi
River, near New Orleans. When Far
ragut ran the chain Of forts and enter
ed the river Taylor sought out the naval
commander and offered his services and
the use of his light draught vessels. The
offer was Immediately accepted. for the
presence of pilot who knew the shall
low waters was Invaluable. When
Commodore Farragut returned to
Washington, Captain Taylor was given
passes through the Federal lines and
went to the Capitol to present his claim.
Farragut was mortally i'll and Taylor
was not admitted. He then returned
to the Mississippi River and served as
a pilot for the Federal Government un-
til the close of the war. Several times
he narrowly escaped death at the hands
OF Southern guerrillas and both his par
ents were murdered by them Captain
Taylor has never presented the claim
before, but expects that there will be
no difficulty in securing indemnity for
the vessels.

lose Miro, former Inspector OF Po-
lice and later Captain Of Spanish
guerrillas, has written a letter 10 tue
insurgent Colonel, Alfredo Arrange, In
which he gives particulars or ponce
practices. He says that under spanish
officials, documents were regularly
forged to convicts and for this purpose
a special stamp was made and speclal
paper prepared for forging the docu-
ments. He gives the names OF the
Chief of Police and Inspectors by whose
conniyance this was done. among
them are Cubans as well as Spaniards.
Miro says that. while the CRIMINALS
were deported, false nanigoism was
esta blished. which was used as means
of deporting Cuban political prisoners.
Miro's letter is in the nature OF a con-
fession. The degree Of credence TO pe
given it is uncertain. What he says OF
the deportation of Cuban political pris-
oners as Nanigos is known to be true.
Other allegations affect persons VINO are
seeking employment on the: present po-
lice force. As General Menocal is the
head of the police force. he is IN po-
sition to utilize whatever is true In
