Many Spanish Officers Do Not

LONDON, Jan. 19.-The Times prints
from a correspondent in Spain column

correspondent says: The Conservatives
are disunited to greater degree than
the Liberals, and among the latter it has
been openly asserted that unless the
present difficulties are solved by the end

the lead in persuading the people to call
Don Carlos to the throne.
It is surprising to what an extent the

MAY RESULT IN DISMISSAL
President Decides to Court
martial General Eagan.
OFFENSE Is A MOST SERIOUS ONE
Charge On Which He VIII Be Tried II
"Conduct Unbecomlng An Omcsf
and Gentleman"

WASHINGTON, jan. 18.-President
Mckinley announced to the cabinet at
its regular meeting that he had deter
mined to courtmartial General Eagan.
Secretary Alger was not present at the
cabinet meeting, but with Adjutant
General Corbin was at the White House
in conference with the president on the
subject just prior to the cabinet session.
While it was not definitely stated
after the cabinet meeting what specifi-
cations would be made against General
Eagan, it is understood that the specific
charge on which he will be tried will be
conduct unbecoming an officer and q
gentleman. The personnel of the court
was not taken up, that phase of the &C.
ton being held to be not cabinet mat
ter, but one that rested between the
president and the secretary Of war.
It is stated, aud with some degree Of
probability, that Alger will also insist
upon the courtmartial Of General Miles
for his celebrated Porto Rican inter-
view, in which he vigorously attacked
his superior officers. It is well known
that Alger and Miles are at daggers
drawn, and the secretary Of war will
insist that the general Of the army shall
be called to account.
The penalty for the ofense with
which General Eagan probably will be
tried, conduct unbecoming an officer
and gentleman, is one Of the most
severe known in the army, being dis
missal. Article 81 reads as follows:
''Any officer who is convicted Of con-
duct unbecoming an officer and q gen.
tleman shall be dismissed from the

ough and fruitless search of the coast
inside and outside Chandleur Ship and
Horn islands, there seems to be little
cause for hope that the naftha launch

believe that the persons aboard of her

tween Ship island and the mainland
and was heading for Grants Pass and
should have reached Mobile next day.
