Army 0ffIcsrs and Others Consulted Before
He Decided on His Course.
MATTER CONSIDERED BY CABINET.
President Took Lille Part In Discussion Details
Of keJon Left 10 Secretary Of wsr-Gsn-
snl Not Yet Relieved Of OutL

washington, Jan. fS.--The president
yesterday announced to the cabinet
shortly after it assembled for its regular
Tuesday session that he had decided TO
order q court-martlai 20 try commssary
General Eagan for the abusive and vio-
lent language he had used respecting
General Miles while on the witness stand
before the war investigating commission
last Thursday.
Ever since the sensational event tho
president has been carefully celebrating
over the matter and has had frequent
consultations with army officers and
others regarding the steps that should
he taken. for he was convinced from the
outset that the question for considera-
tion was what action should be taken
and not whether any disciplinary meas
ures at all should be had. A determina-
ton 10 take some action was vigorously
expressed al the last cabinet meeting.
but the president reserved final de-
cision. Just before the cabinet session
yesterday he held conference with the
secretary OF war and Adjutant General
Corbin. IL was not of long duration,
but the action, TO follow General Eagan's
utterances vas decided. and when the
cabinet met tle president announced
that he had reached his decision i'm the
matter. He said he had determined that
there was only one course to adopt, and
that was 10 order a court martial 10 be
convened at once 10 try General Eagan.
The decision which was reached only
yesterday morning, Notwithstanding re-
ports that court martial had been de-
cided on Monday, met the unanimous
approval OF the members Of the cabinet.
Three OF the presidents official advisers.
Secretary Alger. Secretary Wilson and
Postmaster General Smith. were absent.
but their views are known TO
coincide thoroughly with the presidents
decision. v -.
There was some discussion following
the presidents announcement, i'm which
the case was threshed over 10 some ex-
tent, though the president himself took
little part i'm this discussion. The de-
tails of the action ere left TO the secre-
tary of war. who had withdrawn just
prior 10 the session, 10 return To the war
department to put in motion the ma
chinery for the convening OF the court.
While it was not definitely stated after
the cabinet meeting what specifications
would be made against General Eagan,
il is understood that the specific charge
on which he Will he tried will be conduct
unbecoming an officer and a gentleman.
The personnel OF the court was not taken
up. that phase of the action being held
TO be not cabinet matter but one that
rested between the president and the
secretary of war.
General Merritt. formerly commander
ln-chief OF the Philippines, has been men
toned as likely TO preside over the court.
and cabinet official said he would not
be surprised at General Merritt's desig-
nation.

AFTER MANY YEARS.
Navy officers win BE Pleased by Pas
sage OF the Personnel Bill.

Navy Ofiicers Will BE Pleased by Pas
sage Of the Personnel Bill.
Washington. Jan. 1s.-The house yes
terday passed the naval personnel bill
without division OF the final passage,
thus accomplishing what the officers
OF thenavy have striven for during more
Nhan decade.
Bv its provisions the line and the en-
gineer corps are welded into an amai-
Eamated line. staff officers are given
positive rank. but their command is
limited 10 their own corps, and sys-
tenn OF voluntary and compulsory re-
tlrement on three-quarters pay as or
the next higher rank of 40 officers a year
Is established. which is designed TO re-
move the congestion in the lower rank.
The bill also practically equalizes their
pay with that OF army officers Three
important amendments were adopted
One creates judge advocates corps,
another abolishes prize money, ana
third provides for the retirement on
three-quarters pay OF enlisted men and
petty officers i'm the navy after 80 years
service.
But the most important change in the
bill as reported was the adoption after
a hard fight. OF a substitute for the
organization OF the marine corps, by
which the corps is to consist of 5000 en-
listed men and petty officers. with gen
eral officers and staff. This Will In
crease the marine corps by 1900 men, and
increase the cost of its maintenance by
81, 800, 000. Several unimportant bills
We're passed by unanimous consent be-
fore the personnel bill was taken up.
Almost the entire session of the senate
was devoted TO consideration OF the
pending Nicaragua canal bill. Speeches
were made in support OF the measure by
Mr.. Chiffon OF Texas and Mr.. Turner OF
Washington, and in opposition TO II by
Mr.. Spooner of Wisconsin.
At O'Clock consideration of the bill
under the l5-minute rule was begun and
was continued 10 the close OF the session.
The first vote reached was on an amend
ment offered by Mr.. Rawlins OF Utah,
which provided that the United States
should have absolute control of the canal
for military or naval purposes, with
power TO dictate the use OF the waterway
during the existence OF war. The friends
or the bill rallied against the amendment,
and il was defeated by the decisive vote
OF 3S 10 9. A clause was inserted in the
bill providing that no more than $1,000
900 should be paid the Maritime Canal
company for it's concession and work al
ready dore on the canal When ad-
journment was taken the substitute
measure offered by Mr.. Caffery of Louis
lana was before the senate.
The executive session of the senate
was devoted to discussion OF the ad-
vancement Of Admirals Sampson and
Schley and other naval officers because
OF gallant conduct In battle, over those
officers who were not actively engaged
I'm the war. The proceedings were based
upon a resolution OF inquiry asking the
president TO supply the senate with his
reasons for the promotion of these off,
GERS. This resolution was opposed by
Senator Chandler and other members OF
the naval committee, and the matter
went over until the return OF Senator
Hale. chairman OF the committee.
