EAGAN'S SENTENCE.
Professor Munro Says Its Commuta.
tion is a Disgrace.
Statement Made In Address 10 Junior Class
In History at Brown.

Prof. Wifred II. Munro Of the history
department OF Brown University spoke
this morning to his junior class Of the
history of the commissary department
from the time of Richeheu and WaId-
stein i'm tie Thirty Years War of Ger
many TO the tine OF Eagan. He said:
1T is a remarkable thing that with
such a fine development of our COM
missary department In the Civil War
we should have made such failure
and become the scorn of he world.
Nothing for years has brought more
discredit upon the American people.
The commutation of the sentence by
the president on the man who SO bitter
ly attacked the head of our army is
disgraceful. 1t is such things that make
people doubt the success of our form
OF government" The professor was
heartily applauded I'm his remarks by
the students.

HIS ACTION APPROVED.

Washington. Feb. 9.-The refusal OF
Gen Otis to grant Aguinaldo's request
for "A cessation OF hostilities and a par
ley Is heartily approved by the Ad-
ministration. He is pursuing just the
kind of campaign that the government
desires, following up every advantage
and scattering the demoralized Filipino
army I'm every direction. Agunaldo's :
declaration of war. to which Gen. Otis
refers, gives the American commander,
II is contended in military circles. the
right to treat the Filipino leader as a
rebel or a prisoner Of war. Gen. Otis
says that the influence of Aguinadn
lin this section" has been destroyed, |,
and with the willy and bombastic
Filipino suing for peace, the Admins
tration regards the backbone of the in
surrection as broken. Everything IN
Manila and the country nearby is in
the hands OF the Americans. and a de-
cisive result of the vigorous campaign
of Gen. Otis is expected shortly.
