EAGANs LIGHT SENTENCE.
Will Draw Commissary Generals
Paw During His Suspension.

Washington, Feb. S.-An interesting
factor in connection with General Ea-
ean's suspension from the army was
developed today on inquiry at the war
department. Although General Eagan
has been suspended without rank or
DUTY. he still remains commissary gen.
erai of the army, drawing the pay Of
that office and there is no way in
which he can be displaced until he is
retired. In this the army differs from
the navy. In that branch Of the SER
vice such staff appointments are made
for a. term of four years, at the end Of
which time the incumbent may be
changed or reappointed. In the army
the appointment is for the remaining
term Of service.
This was decided in the case Of Judge
Advocate General Swain, a number Of
wears ago. Though suspended from the
army for twelve years, he continued to
be the Judge advocate general, although
his duties were performed by Acting
Judge Advocate General Liebel, the
present incumbent of the Office, and
his state of things continued for nine
years. during which time General
Swain continued TO draw full paI
while his deputy drew only the pay
corresponding to the lower rank Gen.
eraI Eagan is still in Washington, and
the acting ccrnmissary general. Colonel
John Weston, is sick In New Xarszs

tie, and saw no reason for giving any.
He realized, he said, that General Otis,
being ON the ground and having proved
his fitness, was in better position to
deal with the situation than any one
in Washington. Should the general ask
permission, therefore, to do anything
he would be granted permission imme-
diately.
Should he ask for instructions on
any point" said Secretary Alger, che
will be told to exercise his own discre-
ton
In this view of the case, it will be
seen that no one here can at present
tell how General Otis would deal to-
wards Aguinaldo's application. But
the opinion is expressed by men here
who know General Otis experience
with the Indians, that he will make
the laying down of arms the condition
of dealing with the insurgents at all,
and if that condition is met, of course,
it will mean speedy termination Of
the rebellion.

Washington, D. c., Feb. S.-The Raw

Some men are particularly calculated
