search revealed the precious volume
lying in a pile of French novels on

Take. Issue with the Published Denial of .
Member of the Nicaragua Canal Com
mission that He (LeBsron) Had offered
to Go to Washington and Explain His
Route to the Commission.

Cleveland, o., Jan. 26.-F. Francis
LeBaron, formerly an engineer con-
nected with the Nicaragua canal, who
a few days ago announced he had dis
covered a route for the canal which
would cost S22, 00O,0 900 less than any
proposed, and which he claimed the
commissioners refused to consider. has
written a statement in which he says
in part: MY attention has been called
to a published denial from a member
of the Nicaragua canal commission of
my assertion that | had offered to go
to Washington and explain my pro-
posed route TO the commission. Such
denial coming from member of the
commission is unaccountable. and |
can only explain it by supposing that
the member to whom | wrote failed to
bring the matter to the attention of
the commission.
WROTE TO PROF. HAUPT.
when the commission was first APP
pointed | wrote to Prof. Haupt, a
member of the commission, and not
only offered to go to Washington TO
explain my proposed line, but to GO to
Nicaragua and point out the line on
the ground.
Moreover, ! have a letter in reply
from the member named. asking me
to disclose the location of the line by
letter. to which | replied that | was
unwilling to do this, as | looked on
the matter entirely from profession
al standpoint, and, while | had no
route to sell, and did not ask or ex-
pect the government to pay me any
commission or large bonus | considered
it more than fair that | should be
paid for my time as an engineer, and
if the commission called me in consul
tation and | was able to Indicate a
line straighter and more feasible. and
that would effect saving in the cost
of constructing the canal, of 500. 000.-
600, or even half of it. | would expect
to receive a suitable fee as consult
ing engineer"

TOOK HIS CUE FROM GEN. ALGER.
Gen. Alger had replied that under

Gen. Miles could not be held response
bic for the language before the COM
mission. The newspapers then took
ii up and goaded Gen. Eagan almost
TO desperation. He had come to be-
at large had accepted the accusations
made by Gen. Miles as true. and the
condition of his mind, in consequence,
grew worse and worse, until he was
in a state bordering on distraction.
The language which Gen. Eagan used
under these circumstances was the
natural outburst of an honest man
suffering under an unjust accusation.
In closing Judge Worthington said
that Gen. Eagan could not be held ac-
countable for his language before any
tribunal in this country, civil or mill
tary and particularly under the presi-
dents order of immunity.
TAKING TESTIMONY.
Maj. S. c. Mills was called to testify
on behalf of the government. He said
he was the recorder of the war investi-
eating commission and was present
and heard Gen. Eagan's testimony be-
fore the commission. The manner of
Gen. Eagan in giving his testimony, he
said. was that of a man laboring under
great excite .nent. but trying to con-
troll his excitement. Witness was
shown copy of the specifications and
identified the language there quoted
as having been used by Gen. Eagan.
Judge Worthington interrupted to say
that Gen. Eagan did not deny the lam
guage quoted. and had not the original
statement been destroyed after the OBJ
jectionable words had been expunged
he would willingly produce it here.
Maj.-Gen. McCook, retired, a mem

was that Gen. Eagan must be labor

He recalled some of the language used
and it agreed substantially with the
testimony as published. He was shown

fled some of the language as having
been used by Gen. Eagan.

THE TREATY WITH SPAIN.
The Situation Informally Discussed
by the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations.
ARE OPPOSING SENATORS IN EARNEST?
Are They as Anxious for . Vote as They
Profess to Be?-Opinion Generally Ex-
pressed that an Early Vote Would be
sought-PracticaiIy Decided to Accept
Senator Germans Proposition.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The senate
committee on foreign relations dis
cussed the situation of the peace
treaty in an informal way, giving espe-
cial attention to the proposition that
vote should be taken Immediately
There was apparently a division of
opinion whether the opposing sena-
tors are really as anxious for a vote as
they profess to be, but the declara-
ton was made by the friends of the
treaty that they were not opposed to
an early vote, and while no formal in
struction was given. the opinion was
generally expressed that an early vote
would he sought.
TO PRESS CONSIDERATION.
The opinion of the treaty supporters
on the committee was, however. unani-
nous that the committee should hold
the matter of fixing the date in its
own hands. Chairman Davis was in
structed TO press consideration and to
allow no time to be lost.
The members of the committee say
the vote should come soon, but they
name no specific day.
The committee decided practically
to accept the proposition formulated
by Senator German to take vote at
the expiration of ten days debate. but
determined to hold the decision of the
matter in its own hands. 1t was con-
sidered probable that there would be
more speeches than could be made
within this time, and Mr.. Davis was
authorized TO extend the time so as to
permit reasonable opportunity for
debate
CONFIDENT OF RATIFICATION.
The committee supporters of the
treaty still generally express the opin-
ion that when the vote is taken the
treaty will be ratified They admit
now that there is apparently ma
iority against it, but express the opin-
ion that some of the opponents will
change front before the vote is taken.
No disposition was manifested in the
committee to accept a compromise on
the treaty.

AIRY 9.

has agreed unanimously to take a
vote on the peace treaty on February

impending trouble at Manila has been
