/ Witness said he became greatly ex-
cited. This statement OF General
Miles, in the opinion OF the witness
had taken away his (Eagan's) charac-
ter. He could not proceed against
General Miles in the courts or other
wise and he felt that he might better
be dead in the gutter.
During the recital General Eagan's
eyes filled with tears, his voice tremb-
led and he spoke very feelingly. His
honor as soldier, he continued, had
been attacked and soldiers honor
should be as sacred as the honor OF a
woman. He had kept his sorrow 10
himself. Soon he found he could not
sleep. He felt that the people OF this
country had come to believe that he
was a dishonest man. My record Is
clean, my uniform Is unsullied, but l
have been slandered and wronged."
In answer to a question by his coun-
sci as to whether he had received any
benefit for any contract he had made.
Gen. Eagan said with great feeling:

I receive. and yet my office has dis

defence of his honor.
During this i,npassioned and impress
sive recital each member of the court
listened intently to every word spoken,
and every eye was fastened upon the
speaker. The incident was dramatic
in the extreme. The witness spoke Of
his mental and physical condition be-
tween the time General Miles gave his
testimony and the time ne himself haI
appeared. He could not get rid of the
thought that the country believed HIM
to be a murderer and for gain. and 1t
drove him nearly to distraction.
Mr.. Worthington then read from g
large number of newspaper clippings.

as scoundrel and demanded hi, dis

SPAIN AND THE TREATY.
The Cortes Will Be at Once Convoked ios
Purpose Of Ratification.

Madrid. Jan. 26.-The cabinet met.
this afternoon. under the presidency of
the Queen Regent. The absence of
Gen. Correa, the minister of war, was
much commented upon and is believed
to have been connected with decision
not yet divulged, reached by the su-
preme military tribunal. relative to
Gen. Jaudenez. the Spanish comman
der. who capitulated at Manila. who
has been in prison since yesterday, and
Gen. Toral. who capitulated at Santi-
ago de Cuba. who is absent from Mad
rid.
Premier Sagasta outlined the govern.
ments intention relative to the peace
treaty. He said that information de-
ceived by the minister of foreign af-
fairs. Duke Almovodar del Rio. had
created the impression that President
Mckinley feared the treaty would be
defeated in the Senate and apprehend.
ed IAN obstinate resistance upon ths
part of the Philippine insurgents
against the Americans, who desire 10
deprive them of independence and de-
base the Spanish government which
are sufficient reasons for triumph of
the anti-anneXationists in the Senate. ;.
Therefore the premier insisted that the
convocation of the Cortes should no
longer be delayed.
The cabinet met again, this evening,
Senior Sagasta presiding. 1t appears
that the evidence before the courtmar-
tial showed that Gen. Jaugenes HAD
sufficient ammunition and food to have
enabled him to resist longer. The court
ordered his arrest, whereupon he sur
rendered himself, attired in civilian
dress and accompanied by his son and
several ministers of state. Gen. Correa
confined the arrest. II is said that the
courtanartial will exonerate Gen.
Toral, on the ground that he acted un-
der superior Instructions. but that Ad-
miral Montojo, who was defeated by
Admiral Dewey at Cavite, will be tried
for the incompetent condition of his
fleet.
The newspapers assert also that Ad-
miral Cervera is awaiting trial and
that. therefore. he will not be able to
take his seat as a senator on the re-
assembling of the Cortes.
1t is understood that at the cabinet
meeting, this evening. Senior Capde-
pom. minister Of the interior, proposed
that the suspension OF the constitu-
tional guarantee should now cease.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1899-01-27

Senator Spooner cited the precedents
to show that the President could hold
information of this character at his
pleasurer and that such course fire.
ouently had been followed in cases IN
which the President deemed it unwise
to communicate facts bearing upon IN
ternational complications when 70 40
so might prejudice the countrys pest
interests and promote the very evils
which it was sought to ameilorate.
The point was also made that the
President might feel more free to
communicate with the Senate II ne
could be sure of privacy in doing so.
No one professed to speak by au-
thority and all the senators VINO were
heard in support of the PRESIDENT
course expressed confidence that the
Presidents action whatever 1t might
be. would be for the best interests OF
the public. Replying to TINS latter
point, Senator Hoar said that no one
could excel him in admiration Tor the
personal qualifications of the President
or in confidence in his patriotism. AT
the same time he cOntended Tor MS
original proposition that the Senate
was entitled to the Presidents full
confidence in passing upon question
of so much Importance as the acqulsl-
ton of territory thousands OF miles
from our own shores and with millions
of people totally unlike our own popu-
lation. He thought there must be some
reason for putting the Philippines on a
footing so different from the footing on
which Cuba had been placed in the
treaty.
The opinion is generally expressed
that the time allowed for debate of the
treaty in executive session will not be
by any means consumed. as very few
senators on either side desire to make
speeches behind closed doors The
friends of the treaty profess increasing
confidence that it will be ratified but
there is some talk of adopting mega
tive resolution to the effect that the
treaty does not bind the United States
to the adoption of colonial policy.
