eAGAN'S SENTENCE COMMITTED
To "A Torn of Only Six Years This Will
Allow His retirement at That Time.

Washington, Feb. THE President to-
day caused to he promulgated the SEN
tence in the case OF Commissary General
Charles n. Eagdn. The court martial SEN
tence was dismissal from the army, and
the President has commuted this to six
years suspension from duty, which COM
pletes the remainder of the time prior
TO Gen. Eagans retirement in January,
1908. After the court martial had sent in
its report to the President it became
known that the sentence was dismissal.
1t was stated, however, that the officers
, of the court had recommended Gen. Ea-
, gan 10 the, mercy of the President
The offense Of the commissary general
of the army was his fercely abusive I'll
rade against Gen. Miles before the war
investigating commission. He called Gen.
Miles many kinds OF a liar and used filthy
expressions.
The following is the text of the order
of the President:
The ..ccu-e-l, after a trial by court
marital. composed of officers of high rank
ana distinguished services, has Deen found
guilty Of conduct unworthy an officer
holding commission of the United States
and obnoxious in the highest degree to
the discipline and good order of the mill
tary establishments Sucn behavior is es-
pecally deserving OF condemnation in an
officer holding high rank in the army and
charged with tho performance of difficult
and important administrative duties in
time of great public emergency and from
whom. when subjected to adverse crti-
cism an unusual degree Of restraint and
constant and unfailing sef-cOntrol are
confidently expected
The proceedings, findings and sentence
III the case of 'Br1g.-Gen. Charles II. Ea-
gan, commissary general of subsistence
of the United States army, are therefore
approved. In view, however, of his gal
liant conduct in battle upon more than
one occasion, which merted and has re-
Ccived the warm commendation of his su-
periors. and Of his long and honorable rec
ord Of servte, extending over period
surprising in duration that usually allot-
ted to general, and having regard also
10 the mitigating circumstances which
were developed during the trial of the
ton to clemency submitted in his behalf
the sentence imposed by the court is
commutod to suspension from rank and
duty for six years.
(SignedD WILLIAM MCKINLEY.
February T. 1899.
II was state, by the adjutant general
that Gen. Eagans suspension carries him
to within IL few days Of his retirement un-
der the age limit. He will be reinstated
IN time to retire with the regular rank
and pay provided in such cases.
The sentence OF suspension according to
the legal officers of the department does
not deprive Gen. Eagan of any part Of his
pay. but as the sentence reads without
rank and duty" he loses his allowances
which include Communication of quarters,
rations and fuel and his horse allowance.
This Is quite large financial item.

Washingt On, Feb s-Thorc was an al
most complete release to-day of the ten
sion under which the rapid occurrence of
events in the Philippines has held the Of
icials of the administration since the
iirst startling news from Manila Saturday y
night. This was brought about through
the receipt Of a bulletin from Gen. OTIS
summing up the latest results of the fight
Ing he has had with the natives. The
statement that Aguinaldo'S influence had
been destroyed and that the Filipino lead
er was seeking for "A cession of hostilities
and for conference was most acceptable
and was interpreted as an admission he
had realized his terrible mistake.
1t is entirely improba BILE that he will be
able to restore anything like the statu
quo or obtain anything like the same
terms as were possible last week. No one
here now knows just what Gen. Otis in
tends to impose in the way of terms Sec
retary Alger this afternoon repeated his
statement Of yesterday that he had given
the general no instructions since the bat
tie and saw no reason for giving hin,

being on the ground and having proved
his htness, was in better position to deal
with the situation than any one in Wash
ington. Should the general ask permission
therefore Sto do anything he would be
granted permission Immediately.
ShouId he ask for instructions on any
point said Secretary Alger, "he will be
told to exercise his own discretion"
In this view of the case 1t will be seen
that no one here can tell at present how
Gen. OTIS will act toward Aguina.do's ap-
plication. But the opinion is expressed by
men here who know Of Gen. Otis exper.

A WEEK IN CONGRESS.
Ratification OF tho Peace Treaty the
Nost Important business.

A notable speech was made in tho SEN
ate Thursday by Mr. Spooner of Wiscon
sin, upon the Issues growing out of the
war. He could not SEQ how this country
could honorably escape taking the Phil
ippines from Spain. but hoped the islands
would soon be free, as permanent Ameri-
can control would be disastrous for this
country. In the House the River and
ifarbor bill was passed by vote of $50
to I Every effort to amend in any inn
portant particular was defeated.
The Senate spent Friday In discussing
expansion and the peace treaty In the
House the conference report on the diplo-
matte appropriation bill was adopted.
Expansion oratory occupied the at
tention of the Senate On Saturday, Mr..
Chiffon urging the establishment of
Philippine Republic, over which this
country should exercise such care as 1t
gives to Liberia. Mr.. Wolcott made an
eloquent appeal for ratification, warmly
praising the President for his conduct
of the war and the Peace Commission
ers for their services at Paris. The
House passed the Military Academy
Appropriation bill, and then listened to
eulogistic speeches on Thomas Benton
and Frank =. Blair. whose statues had
been presented by Missouri for erection
in Statuary Hall. The House Committee
on Invalid Pensions on Saturday report
ed favorably the Senate bill granting n
pension to General John NJ. Palmer. of
Illinois. the amount being reduced to so.
The treaty OF peace with Spain was
ratified by the Senate Monday, the vote
being II in favor to q against. Later an
ofrort was made to pass n joint resolu-
ton declaring o policy for the Philippines,
hut the debate occupied so much time that
the resolution went over. Efforts to-
amend the resolution in line with the
sentiments of the opponents of the treaty
were voted down. In tho House Mr..
Grow proposed n constitutional amend
ment providing that peace treaties shall
be ratified by a ma iority vote of the Sen
ate. The Census bill was passed
An effort was made Tuesday IN the
Senate to fix a time for a vote on the
McEnery resolution. but objection was
made. 1t is thought that no resolution
on the Philippine question will come to
a vote while the strained relations be-
tween the Americans and insurgents at
Manila exist. Progress was made in the
consideration of the Indian Appropria
ton bill. The House spent the day in con-
sidering bills for public buildings, the
committee having reported rs bills for
buildings in 80 States, and authorizing ex-
pcndtures of over s14, 00,01o
The Senate confined !tself to routine bus
mess Wednesday. The House considered
public building bills and passed one.

SITUATION RAPIDLY IMPROVES.
Aguinaldo's Influence Lost and He Now
Asks For Terms.

Washington, Feb. S.--The war depart
ment to-day received the following des-
patch:
Manila, Feb. S.-The situation is rapidly
improving. a reconnaissance east to south
several miles to Lagunade Bay and south
east Is driving the struggling insurgent
troops in various directions. and encount-
ering no decided opposition. The army
has disintegrated and the natives have
returned to the villages, displaying n flag.
Near CdlooCan, six miles north. the
enemy made a stand behind the entrench-
mcnts charged by the Kansas troops. led
by Col. Funston, a close encounter result
ing in the rOut of the enemy with heavy
loss. The loss to the Kansas regiment
was Lieut.. Alfred killed and six wounded.
ON the fourth Aguinado issued a flying
proclamation charging the Americans
with the initiative and declared war and
III sunday ISSUED another calling all to
resist foreign invasion. His influence
throughout this section is destroyed and
he now applies for a cessation of hostil-
ties and conference but we have declined
to answer. The Insurgents expectation
of a rising in the city on the night of the
fourth was unrealized. The provost mar
shal general with his admirable dsposi-
ton of the troops defeated every attempt.
The city is quiet and business has been
resumed. The natives are respectful and
cheerful. The lighting qualities Of the
American troops was a revelation to all
the inhabitants. (Signed) OTIS.

man having drawn blood on Enrisht on
one or two occasions. 1t was during the
second round that the mishap which
closed the exhibition occurred. Dunn was
landing an upper cut on Enright when he
parried it with his left arm, which recent

blow broke his arm just above the wrist
