CONGRESSIONAL
Resolution introduced in the Senate
Providing for Investigating the
Late Spanish War.
A DESIRE TO TURN THINGS up
One of the South Carolina Senators Oh
jected and the Matter Went Over
The House Discussing the Naval
Personnel Bill

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Allen
introduced resolution for the appoint
ment Of five senator's with plenary pow
ers to investigate the late war. The res
olution provides that Said committee
shall have plenary authority to inquire
and report on the advisability and Sc
lection of places for encampment for
troops by the military authorities of the
United States the time, character and
places of delivery of the commissary
quartermaster's and medical stores, the
quantity thereof and regularity of their
delivery, and into all things in any
way affecting the care, discipline and
health of troops in the field and in camp,
and into all other matters and things in
any manner affecting or bearing upon
the health, regularity and discipline of
the army, and whether there is just
cause to complain of places of encamp-
ment, the food medical stores and quar-
termasters- supplies furnished. An OBJ
lection was made to the immediate con-
sideration of the resolution and it went
over Senator McLaurin, of South Caro-
lina then addressed the senate in oppo-
sition.
THE HOUSE
Under special order the house went
into committee of the whole, and pro-
ceeded to discuss the naval personnel
bill.

LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP.

Colonel Venceslao Jaramillo has to look
after eight applications for legislative
appointments. But as he is young and
strong, he can stand the pressure,
1t is understood that the number OF
employees for the two houses is to be held
down to the same number employed two
years ago in the 3?d Legislative assem-
bly,.
The question of who shall be the
speaker OF the house is being good ma
turedly discussed by the members of the
house. There is no friction and no
animosity.
Applications for legislative positions
galore. So far. however. the counties
of San Juan, Lincoln, Chaves and Eddy
have brought forth no candidates Good
for them.
Hon. A. d. Mcintosh, of Cedar Hill.
San Juan county, who is a member of
the lower house, has so far no one to
recommend for a place among the en-
ployes of the house. Happy Mr. McIn-
tosh. He sleeps well and easily.
Hon. W. G. Sargent. of Ell Rito. treas
urer and collector of Rio Arriba county.
arrived from the north last night and
will remain in the city until after the
opening of the legislature. Mr.. Sargent
is candidate for appointment to the
office of territorial auditor and has much
influential backing and support for the
position.
Th.re seems to be strong disposition
among members of the assembly to tfeat
the question of extra employees tenderly
and to handle it with care This is
proper and right A sufficient number
of employees to do the work well and
efficiently and no more should be en-
ploycd.
There will be, at an early date, bill
introduced for the creation of Sacrament
to county out of portions Of Dona Ana
and Lincoln counties. This matter will
create quite little breeze in legislative
circles when it comes up.
Major Eugene Van Patten, of Las
Cruces, and Mr.. Cesario Pendragon. of
the same place, will be pushed for legis-
lative appointments by the delegations
from Dona Ana and Grant, such is the
rumor in legislative circles.
Hon. Frank Staplin says he has no
bundle of applications for places among
the employees in his pocket, and he is
glad of it. As far as he is concerned,
Taos county and his district will not ask
for too much, which is very commend
able and proper.

was in sickly condition; in fact, the
meat rations were so bad as to general

hardship to my men and reduced the
supply of food below what it was nee

The war investigating commission
will probably close the taking of testi-
mony save that of Surgeon DAILY, who
is i'll, by the latter part of next week.
It's report is expected to be finished by
the last of this month or early in Feb
ruary.
AN AMENDED STATEMENT FROM
EAGAN
1t was gathered from the friends of
General Eagan today that he is prepar-
ed to accept the suggestion in the let
ter from the war inquiry commission,
and will amend his statement so as to
exclude the matter complained of.
WITNESSES WILL BE PROTECTED.
AT today's cabinet meeting a large
part of the time was taken up in dis
cussing Eagans testimony before the
war investigating commission yester
day. Members, however, were unusu-
ally reticent. Nevertheless all men,
bers commend the action of the commit
tee in declining to receive the manu-
script of Eagans testimony until the
Objectionable epithets are expunged.
There is no doubt that the president
deeply regrets the incident
1t is almost certain that official cog
nizance will be taken Of the matter
soon The question was discussed, how
far Eagan may be entitled to immunity
from punishment under the recent pub
lie statement of the secretary of war,
by direction of the president, to the ef-
feet that all witnesses appearing before
the commission would be protected in
their rights and positions, if in the serv-
ice of the United States, regardless of
whom their testimony might be directed
against.
