YOUNG M'CONv|LLE RELEASED
IDAHO SOLDIER WHOSE FAITH
Err WAS KILLED.
Will Bring Home the Body of the
Major-Additional Casualties In
the Idaho Regiment.
(SnecisI to The Herald.A

Washington, D. c., Feb. S.-Assistant
Secretary of War Meiklejohn this af-
ternoon, at the request of Senator
Shoup, wired to General Otis an order
for the discharge of Sergeant McCon-
vile of the First Idaho, now at Manila.
This will permit young McConville to
bring home the body of his father, the
brave Major Edward McConville, who
was killed in the fight with the Fill
pinos.
Boise, Ida, Feb. S.-The governor
has received the following self -explana-
tory telegram from Senator Shoup:
"a cablegram has been sent to Man
ila directing the discharge of Harry
McConville and that the remains of
Major McConville be returned in his
charge on the first transport"
The legislature did not, as expected,
adjourn over today out of respect to
the memory of the Idaho soldiers who
fell at Manila 1t will do so tomor-
row, however, the adjournment being
prefaced by memorial services in both
houses.
The official records give the following
information concerning the additional
killed and wounded of the Idaho regi-
ment at Manila:
The name Orian L. Darrass given in
the QlSpaICneS Is undoubtedly lnIenQeQ
for Orrin l.. Darrah of company G. He
was 81 years old at the time of en-
listment. He was born at Crooked Tree,
O., and enlisted from Pocatello. His
nearest relative is given at Mrs. c. L.
Darrah of Pocatello.
James w. Ryan, company Q, was
born at Lowell, Mass, and was 80 years
old at. the time of enlistment. He en-
listed from POcatello. Nearest relative
is r. A. StirkS of Lowell, Mass.
Richard B. Jones, company B, is 29
years aid and was born at Pleasant
Grove, Ia. He enlisted from Coeur
d'Alene and his nearest relative is D. r.
Jones of Urquart, Alberta.
The names of Sergeant William Tel
ler and Private John L. Lutjens do not
appear upon the records here. There
were several men enlisted after the reg
iment left Boise and these may be
among them, though it is quite as likely
that the names have been mixed up in
transmission.
The name of John Switzons came in
the Tuesdays list of wounded. 1t is
altogether probable that it should have
been John II. LuitZen of company b,
who enlisted from Lewiston. His age
is given as 23. He was born at Elk
horn, Neb., and his nearest relative is
William LuitZen of Elkhorn.

Spanish trenches southwest of the Ma
late fort, where the Fourteenth infan-
try is quartered. A few native houses
from which shots have been fired were
burned, but most of the others are
either vacant or marked with white
flags.
SIS p. m.-The provost guard is in
absolute control of Manila. All fears
of native uprising in the city We're
dispelled by the promptitude which
quelled the outbreak on Monday even
ing. The streets were deserted last
evening by 8 o'clock and not light
was to be seen in the native quarter.
EXPECT TO DIE.
The Filipinos, accustomed to Spanish
methods, are constantly inquiring of
the American soldiers when the prison.
ers are to be executed. They seem un-
able to realize that orders have not
already been issued for the execution.
Indeed headquarters is besieged by wo
men anxious to plead for the lives Of
their relatives and friends.
All is quiet at Cavite. Owing to the
lack of supplies in the adjacent village
of San Rogue, Commissary Milliken
has been authorized to sell necesSaries
to those able to pay for them, and
there will be distribution of free ra-
tionS to others. The rebels, it appears,
had loopholed a church tower in Ca
vite, evidently with the purpose of oc-
cupying it with sharpshoOters.
Senor Aguillos, the Filipino ex-com-
missioner, made an unofficial visit to
General Otis today. Tomorrow is the
orders have been issued prohibiting
fireworks

EAGANs LIGHT SENTENCE.
Will Draw Commissary Generals
Paw During His Suspension.

Washington, Feb. S.-An interesting
factor in connection with General Ea-
ean's suspension from the army was
developed today on inquiry at the war
denartment Although General Eagan
has been suspended without rank or
DUTY. he still remains commissary gen.
erai of the army, drawing the pay Of
that office and there is no way in
which he can be displaced until he is
retired. In this the army differs from
the navy. In that branch Of the SER
vice such staff appointments are made
for a. term of four years, at the end Of
which time the incumbent may be
changed or reappointed. In the army
the appointment is for the remaining
term Of service.
This was decided in the case Of Judge
Advocate General Swain, a number Of
wears ago. Though suspended from the
army for twelve years, he continued to
be the Judge advocate general, although
his duties were performed by Acting
Judge Advocate General Liebel, the
present incumbent of the Office, and
his state of things continued for nine
years. during which time General
Swain continued TO draw full paI
while his deputy drew only the pay
corresponding to the lower rank Gen.
eraI Eagan is still in Washington, and
the acting ccrnmissary general. Colonel
John Weston, is sick In New Xarszs

tie, and saw no reason for giving any.
He realized, he said, that General Otis,
being ON the ground and having proved
his fitness, was in better position to
deal with the situation than any one
in Washington. Should the general ask
permission, therefore, to do anything
he would be granted permission imme-
diately.
Should he ask for instructions on
any point" said Secretary Alger, che
will be told to exercise his own discre-
tion.''
In this view of the case, it will be
seen that no one here can at present
tell how General Otis would deal to-
wards Aguinaldo's application. But
the opinion is expressed by men here
who know General Otis experience
with the Indians, that he will make
the laying down of arms the condition
of dealing with the insurgents at all,
and if that condition is met, of course,
it will mean speedy termination Of
the rebellion.

UINTAH IRRIGATION.
Senator Rawlins' Measure Attached
to Indian Bill.
Especial to The HeraldO

(Specldl 10 lie I16I eAAu-(
Washington, D. c., Feb. S.-The Raw
Inns amendment opening the waters of
the Uintah reservation for irrigation
purposes, has been added to the Indian
bill and will become a law.
Senator Carter this afternoon offered
an amendment to the river and harbOr
bill, appropriating $5,00O.0O0 for reser-
voirs, canals and other Improvements
in the arid and semi-arid states.
Senator Mantle this afternoon secured
a favorable report on his amendment
to the sundry civil bill, appropriating
a sum sufficient to purchase a site for
the Butte public building. If this
amendment and the building bill itself
can both become laws, the Butte fed
eral structure will have q great start.

Especial Correspondence

Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. S.-Russell Ma
son, manager of the Fremont Hot
Springs company at Alcova, Wyo., who
has advertised the fact that his COM
pany would put up a purse of $50, 900
for the Sharley- -Fitzsimmons prize
fight, and stated that the fight would
be pulled off at Alcova, this state, to-
day received the following letter from
Governor De Forest Richards:
Replying to your letter in relation
to your proposed prize fight at Alcova
Hot Springs, will say that 1 have no
sympathy whatever with anything of
this kind, and do not think the ben
efits you suggest will in any way COM
pensate for the damage it would do the
fair reputation of an American state in
allowing such contest within it's bor-
ders. I would say, further, that the
laws of the state will be rigidly en-
forced in case anything should be done
toward bringing about a prize fight
within our limits"

Manila, Feb. 8, II a. m.-The Filipinos
at CaIoocan opened fire last evening
just before midnight upon the Kansas

occasional shot from two big guns for
about twenty minutes. The Americans
did not reply.
The enemy fired at long range and
nobody was hurt. All was quiet along

change in the American position dur
ing the night.

ROUGH RIDERS WANTED.
Butte Cavalry Captains Response to
War Department.
Especial to The Herald.)

Butte, Mont, Feb. S.-Captain D.
Gay Stivers of troop L, Third United
States volunteer cavalry, under Colonel
Melvin Grigsby, today received a tele-
gram from the war department at
Washington, making inquiries as to
what number of the original troop was
available for immediate service, and if
sufficient new enlistments could be Sc
cured to fill out the troop.
Captain Stivers replied that if wanted
for active service the troop could be
filed and ready for duty on a days no.
tice, but that for garrison duty not five
men in Butte would enlist. From the
fact that the query came direct from
the war department, it is surmised that
the situation in the Philippines is the
cause and demands quick action.
