Major S. c. Mills was called to testify
on behalf of the government. He said
he was the recorder of the War Inves-
tlgatlng Commission and was present
and heard General Eagan's testimony
oefore the commission. The manner of
General Eagan in giving his testimony.
he said. was that of n man laborins
under great excitement, but trying to
control his excitement. He recalled
some or the words used by General
Eagan In his testimony. which agreed
substantially with the phraseology used
In the specifications. The witness was

CLEVERLY PHRASED DOCUMENT.
1t is conceded that the document is
cleverly phrased with the intention to
put the United States Government in
the wrong in the estimation of the
world. and It is suspected from the half
concealed arrogance of the demand to
be Informed of the purpose of our gov
eminent in sending reinforccmcnts to
the Philippines that this communica-
ton may mark the adoption OF Il new
line OF policy by the insurgents in the
philippines. The first manifestation Of
this. in case it is decided to resort to

sudden departure of Agoncilio and his
