and Alssr-shovt Trials pre-.
d,cted - Specifications.

WASHINGTON. Jan. ls.--The court.
martial for the trial OF General Eagan
viil be convened here at 10 a. m. on
January 25th.
The real issues before the court
~iil be Major-Gcneral Miles and Sec
rstary Alger.
The court-martial OF General Miles
may follow on charges preferred by Al
ger and Corbin.
There is already a strong intimation
that the case against General Eagan
will be handled with gloves
The oiiicial order for the court-mar-
tial was signed this afternoon by the
Secretary OF War. General Alger said
chat the arrest of General Eagan would
not take place until the Judge Advo-
GaAe-General had sent to him the
charges and specifications. These were
prepared to-day, but were not sent Ia
the Secretary Of War on account of the
absence of Adjutant-General Corbin
who returned this evening from New
York. II was necessary that Adjutant-
General Corbin should be present for
Ile promulgation of the detail OF the
court. Had General Corbin been at the
War Department General Eagan would
undoubtedly have been placed under
arrest to-day.
General Corbin said to-day that there
would be nothing sensational or dram
attic in the arrest Of General Eagan.
There would be no rigorous applica-
tiOn OF the rules OF arrest as applied
40 young officers. General Eagan
would be expected To conform to the
n,alitary law, as he Is familiar with It
from experience.
General Eagan will probably leave
mis- Office tomorrow morning immedi'
aiely upon the presentation Of the or
der of arrest. He will retire TO his
home, but he will not be compelled tC
stay there.
The impression Is that the trial vii
be short. The inference from the fac
that General Eagan apologized to th'
committee Is that he may plead guilt!
10 whatever language is charged II
t1se specifications as warranting charg
g Of conduct unbecoming an Office
au,. a gentleman, and leave the cour
10 decide whether the language consti
tutes that offense under the provoca
fion to be alleged In extenuation. II,
will plead not guilty to the charge o
conduct prejudiclal to military discip
Zine and will put in plea Of war
ranted by the criticisms by Genera
Mines of the Commissary Department.
There appears TO be no escape from
conviction on the first charge, the con
sequence of which il ordinarily dis
snissal from the army.
The court may find him not guilt!
OF the second charge, but II is under
stood already that the accused, II fount
guilty OF either or both charges. will
be recommended to Executive clemen
cy.
At present there appears to be nc
doubt that every possible influence will
he exerted on the court TO have Il
palhate General Eagan's offenses.

GAS AND OIL.
Test Wells to Determine Whether 1t

a. d. Swan has secured oil leases
on nearly 1000 acres of land in the
Cuyaboga River Valley, near PENN

when a few certain tracts now being

Both oil and gas have heretofore
been found in the locality, but drill

way, and as soon as gas is found, the

was then in vogue that no oil could
be found where gas was so dominant.

CREDITORS
Have Again Taken Pos
session of Hotel.
Active Career of the PendIeton
Properly In Five Years.

The Pendleton hotel property on
East Market st. for which Henry c.
Wilcox has been appointed receiver
by the United States District court,
has had quite an active career in the
real estate market.
This is the second time the prop
erty has fallen into the hands of
creditors, after its having been sold.
While the present occupant, J. H.
Spuller, has. not made an assign
ment, the proceedings against him
are similar in character to involun-
tary bankruptcy. The receiver has
demanded rent, pending a suit in the
United States District court for fore
closure of mortgages. If the mort
cages are not satisfied the United
States Marshall will in the near
future offer the property at public
sale.
About five years ago the property
was sold by the estate of Joy III. Pen
dleton to Wilcox q Noah. They sold
it to Mrs. Alice Simms, who after
conducting it for a short time failed
and made an assignment. The
property was bought back from the
assignee by Wilcox d Noah. After
its being vacant for a while the prop
erty was again sold, J. III. Spuller,
the present proprietor, being the
purchaser. He has conducted the
hotel for about two years.
Amortgage for So, ,OOOis held against
the property by the Northwestern
Mutual Life Insurance Co. J. Park
Alexander and Ferdinand Schu-
macher, executors of the Pendleton
estate, also hold mortgage for 3d.
coo against the property.
The original value of the property
was $4,000, but a number of building
lots having been sold from it, at
present it's value is estimated at $lO,-
600. The lot on which the building
stands is 200 feet deep with a 1OO-foot
front.

EXCITEM ENT
0ccasioned by Officials Visit to

A party of railroad people were in

says the Reporter.
The party was composed of Penn
sylvania and c., A. & G.. officials, and
although their mission to the Falls
has been guarded, Reporter
representative has learned from a
reliable source that the purpose of
their visit was to inspect the proper
ty of the c., A. & G. and p. d w. at
this place. The railroad situation in
the vicinity of the Glens, and north
of town was also chrefully looked
over by all members of the party.
Our informant states that it is the
intention to carry out the Brice
scheme of trunk line from the west
to the east by extending the North
ern Ohio to Cuyahoga Falls and con-
Meeting with the P. & w. at some
point advisable, which will probably
be either near the Glens or a short
distance north of town.

BR0GKE'S ACTION CORRECT.
Regarding Cuban Arms-Havana
Was In Ferment Again.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-It was de-
MED here that Secretary Alger was in
dignant over General Brooke's action
regarding the Cubans laying down their
arms. General Brooke did not violate
the presidents order, but asked the ap-
proval of the president of his plan to
allow the Cubans to deposit their arms
with the mayors instead of i'll the care
of the United States authorities, as or
dered by the president. General Cor
bin Went to Hot Springs, it was thought,
to ask the president to decide the mat
ter. The presidents decision was not
announced.
1t was said at the war department
that should the Cuban leaders refuse to
accept General BroOke's proffer, whether
1t was conditioned upon the surrender
of arms to United States army officers,
or to Cuban mayors, that will terminate
the efforts of the governor general to
come to satisfactory arrangement with
these leaders. For, thereupon, General
Brooke will proceed to address himself
directly to the Cuban private soldiers.
He Will have his agents-United States
army otficers-pay off every bona tide
Cuban soldier who is willing to comply
with the conditions laid down by HIM,
and this will be done without further
reference to any of the malcontent
leaders, who have so long retarded a
settlement.
HAVANA, May 2O.-Havana was in
ferment again over the idea that the
washington administration had deter
mined to take the terms of the Cuban
troops and to retain them in military
possession. This view of the latest
news from Washington had been tele-
graphed to the various cities.
Unless instructions to the contrary
are received from the Washington adj
ministratiUn the governor general S or
der respecting the distribution of the
$4,000, 900 as modified will be issued to-
day. The secretary of war was in
formed as to the substance of this order
i'll the usual course of business.
The mayors are the appointees of the
governor general, and when the mill
tary assembly dissolved they were made
its representatives to receive the arms.

CONDEMNED THE WAR.
Opposed Reference to Dewey. the
War. Etc. In Reports.

NEW YORK, May 20.-A somewhat
marked the second day of the annual
session of the Reformed Presbyterian
church synod. held i'll this city, The
Rev. 5. NJ Killough of Madrid, N Y,
i'll his report of the committee on signs
of the times, referred in glowing terms
to the recent war and of the good
results it had brought to the country.
Elder W. DEAFNESS of Cincinnati op-
posed the report, saying in part: ''Any
man who reads approvingly of Dewey's
dolngs or those of his fleets should
pie of Christianity. Uniformed men
are disgrace to any Christian coun-
try and it is time we learned to civil
ize men without killing them This is

our approval upon. any war the iustif-
cation of which is in grave doubt. We
should approve no war except one
brought in strict self-defense. l move
that all references to the war be elimin-
ated from the proceedings of this
synod. -
Then followed a report by the Rev.
w. H. Giley for the Philadelphia pres
bytery suggesting the giving of thanks
TO God for the victories of the United
States on land and sea- A lengthy de-
bate followed and Mr.. Dearness moved
that the reports be ''prged of ali poll
tics and poetry" The reports We're ac-
cepted, but the secretaries We're auth
orized to strike out anything not bearing
on synod affairs.

LUNA REPORTED STILL HOSTILE.
He Was Said to Have Arrested Two of

MANILA, May 20.-10:45 a. m.)-Two
military and two civil Filipino commits
sioner, appointed to cooperate with
three citizens of MANI III negotiating
terms of peace, arrived here about S:15
a. N. today.
They submitted no new proposition,
but wanted an armistice pending the
session of the Filipino congress.
Major General Otis refused to enter
tain the proposal.
MANILA, May 20.-General Luna was
reported to have made desperate efforts
TO restrain the educated Filipinos within
the limits of his self-appointed jurisdic-
tion from communicating with the
Americans. even TO arresting Encamino
and Herrera, two of the most inf1uen-
tial officials, while on their way to
MaloIos TO join these who We're coming

This and the removal of the seat of
government TO Tarlac, about 80 miles
north of San Fernando, it was thought,
might lead to complications and delay
in the pacification. But 1t was gener-
ally conceded that further opposition to
American sovereignty was useless and
ridiculous. Neither General Luna nor
General Pho del Pillar had sufficient
force to resist or compel submission.
General Wheaton was relieved of the
command OF the second division fer
special assignment and General Fun
ston was assigned to his brigade.
A board consisting of Colonel French
of the Twenty second infantry and Ma
jor Cabell and Captain Randolph of the
