Premier Sagastn Outlines the Gov
crnment's Plans.
Madrid, Jan. 2S.-The cabinet met
Yesterday afternoon under the persi-
dency of the queen regent. The alb
sence of Gen. Correa, the minister of
war, was much commented upon, and
is believed to have been connected
with a decision, not yet divulged,
reached by the supreme military TIL
bunal relative to Gen. Jaudenez. the
Spanish commander. who capitulated
at Manila, and who has been in prison
since yesterday, and eGn. Toral, who
capitulated at Santiago de Cuba, and
who is absent from Madrid. The pre-
mier, Senior Sagasta, outlined the gov
ernment's intentions relative to the
peace treaty. He said that informa-
ton received by the minister of foreign
affairs. Duke Almodevar de Rio had
created the impression that President
Mckinley feared the treaty would be
defeated in the senate and appre-
hended an obstinate resistance on the
part of the Philippine insurgents
against the Americans, who desire to
deprive them Of independence and de-
bas the Spanish government, when
are sufficient reasons for the triumph
of the anti-annexationists in the SEN
ateate. Therefore the premier in
sisted that the convocation OF the
cortes should no longer be delayed.

2S.-The Republica, the official organ
of the Filipinos. announces that the
congress at Malolos has adopted the
Philippine constitution, passed a vote
of confidence in Aguinaldo. and en-
powered him to declare war on the
Americans whenever he may deem it
advisable.
At mass melting of women at Ca

astically resolved to petition Aguinaldo
for permission to take mems places in

incident has intensified the excitement.
The Mabini cabinet yesterday in
sisted upon the liberation of the Span

of the proclamation of the Filipino re-
public. and also donated money to the
native clergy. A decree to that effect
was signed. The Spanish clergy, how
ever, remain prisoners.
An elaborate programme has been
arranged for the formal ratification OF
the constitution.
Nothing was accomplished at the
conference here yesterday, and it is ru-
mored that the Filipinos, at their next
melting, will give the Aemricans eight
days liz which to accede to their de-
mands for recognition. The rumor is
discredited.

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 29.-The steam
er Cottage City, from Alaska, brings
news that several Copper river pros
pectors persisted in Kaldez glacier.
The following are known to have been
killed: Charles Kron, New York city;
G. p. Smith, Chicago; Ole Evjen, Bald
win. Wis; - Henderson. Wisconsin,
and George r. Sweezey. New York.
Among the badly frozen miners are
George Palowitz, New York: Sylvester
Grog, st. Louis, and Holven Enjens.
Baldwin, Wis. There are six men at
Valdez suffering from frozen feet,
hands and face. A hospital has been
established at Twelve Mile camp. on
the other side of the glacier. and fif-
teen men are suffering there from the
same cause. All We're frozen trying
to cross the glacier. but managed to
get back into camp. The freezing Of
the Evjens, father and son. is particu-
larly sad. They started for Valdez
but on getting we'll toward the sum-
NIT of the glacier found their feet
freezing. Both started back. The son
gave his father extra wrapping for his
feet and as a result froze both legs i'll
a few minutes and was unable to pro-
coed. He babe his father good by and
compelled him to go on without him.
Then the boy laid down in the snow
to die. The father reached the camp
very badly frozen ana is not expected
to live. The third man of the party
to lose his life was a miner named
Henderson from spme town in Wiscon-
sin. He started out With tha party but
was frozen before they reached the
summit of the glacier He decided his
only hope was to turn back Soon af-
ter he left the party {: terrible blizzard
swept over the glacier. celebrating all
trails and making travel impossible.
He probably lost lis way and per-
lslhed. AT any rate he never reached

Washington. Jan. 2S-TThe opposition
TO the army reorganization bill OH the
Republican side of the house has be.
come so strong that yesterday Chair
man Hull, after Mr. Henderson of
Iowa, one of the floor leaders of the
majority, had threatened to vote to re.
commit the bill, decided it would be
WISE in order to secure it's passage, to
abandon their aim Of providing direct.
ly for a regular army of 100000 He
announced on the floor that the com.
mittee would offer amendments to re.
duce the number of enlisted men to
about 10000. but lodge in the presi-
dents discretion the authority to in
crease the army to a maximum of
100000. These amendments have
been prepared.
Mr.. Johnson Of Indiana, who took 4
prominent part in the fight. after the
general debate closed declared that
the purpose OF the bill was to have an
army of 100000 either by direct all-
thority ur the exercise Of the pres
idents discretion, and he declared his
purpose to fight to the bitter end the
machinery which was being forged for
q colonial system. Mr.. Henderson. i'll
the course Of the debate declared his
belief in the unwisdom of anneXing
the Philippines. Mr. Johnson said the
vital mistake was made when the
president instructed the commission to
demand the ccssion of the Philippines.
The whole debate was spirited and so
intense was the struggle when the bill
was taken up for amendment under
the five-minute rule that the first sec
ton had not been completed when the
house recessed at 5 O'clock
The Senate.
Particular interest was manifested
III the senate yesterday in &: brief
speech delivered by Senator Il. G.
Platt New York. Oh the general sub
iect Of expansion. Mr.. Plat took for
his text the anti-eXpansion resolution
offered by Mr. Vest. but in the course
OF his speech merely touched upon the
constitutional question involved in the
proposed declaration. He spoke in a
clear, resonant voice, and not only be-
cause this was the first speech he has
delivered in the senate since his re-
turn to the body, but also because the
address was Il thoughtful and we'll
considered statement, he was accorded
the undivided attention Of his col
leagues OH the floor and large audi
ence in the galleries. A pleasing,
though quiet, vein of humor ran
through the speech, sharply pointing
his statements. He took strong
ground for the ratification of the pend
ing treaty of peace.
A resolution was offered by Mr. Sui
hvan of Mississippi declaring that the
ratification of the treaty should not
commit the government to a colonial
policy.
The pension appropriation bill, the
second Of the general appropriation

bate.

EAGAN TO BE DISMISSED.
Rumor That This Is the Verdict of


the Court-MnrtinI.
New York, Jan. 23.-The Herald has
the following from its Washington
correspondents:
and the court did thereupon SEN
tence him, the said Brig. Gen. Charles
T. Eagan, commissary general of sub
sistence, to be dismissed from the nils
itary service of the United States
This. 1 am reliably informed, is the
closing paragraph of the court-martial
record of Gen. Eagan. He was found
guilty on both charges-''conduct I'm
becoming an officer and a gentleman"
and conduct to the prejudice of good
order and military discipline" Hav-
ing been found guilty of the first
charge, the court, in accordance with
article of war 81, had no other alterna-
tive than to bring in sentence Of dis
mssal. 1t is within the power of the
president to exercise clenency. and it
is believed by many officers that, in
view of Gen. Eagan's mental condition
the president may mitigate the SEN
tence of dismissal to one of suspen-
sion,
