WEARY OF WRANGLES
President Resolved to Stop the Bick

President Resolved to Stop the Bick-
erings in the Army.
A Washington correspondent asserts
that the President is profoundly displeas-
ed with the scandalous wranglings of ar
my officers, which have been so conspicu-
Gus in the past few months. While he is
most anxious to act as a peacemaker, he
Will stop these useless chickering's in the
army and put an end to the possibilities
OF further scandal, even if he has to order
several more courts martial to accom-
pllsh his purpose. The strained relations
between the general in command of the
army and the War Department proper
Will not be eased by the punishment Of
Commissary General Eagan. 1t is the
general belief that Miles has been delib-
erately seeking trouble.
Considering the directness of the evil
dence which will support the charges and
specifications, it can make little differ
ence to Gen. Eagan who tries him. He
will be convicted of conduct unbecoming
an officer and a gentleman and conduct
prejudicial to good order and military dis
cipline. The sentence of the court will
be dismissal from the service of the Unit
ed States, and it will remain with the
4 ASoiNSAI " uppIOsS VI lue uuU-
ing. 1t has been the Presidents desire
to censure Gen. Eagan for his extraordi-
nary language, and he would have done
so without a court if the precedents would
have permitted
The President Tuesday announced at
the cabinet meeting that he had decided to
order court martial to try Commissary
General Eagan for the abusive and violent
language he used respecting Gen. Miles
before the war investigating commission.
Prior to the cabinet session the President
held conference with the Secretary of
War and Adjutant General Corbin. 1t
was brief, but the action to follow Eagan's
utterances was decided and when the cab
met met the President announced he had
reached a decision in the matter. He said
he had determined there was only one
course to adopt and that was to order a
court martial convened to try Eagan. The
decision met the approval Of the members
of the cabinet. There was some discus
sion following the Presidents announce
ment, in which the case was threshed over
to some extent, though the President him
self took little part in the discussion. The
details of the action were left to the Sec
rotary of War.

while three of them stood guard, the

Followers of the Rival Chiefs Engage
in Conflict.

in Conflict.
Civil war is again raging in Samoa. Ad-
vices say that the controversy between
the rival candidates for the throne in sue
cession to the late King Malietoa has re-
suited in armed conflicts. Chief Justice
Chambers decided that Malietoa Tanu
was elected to the throne. Mataafa and
his followers refused to accept this decis-
ion and took up arms.
Much property has been destroyed and
many persons killed or wounded. The
German cruiser Fake and the British
cruiser Porpoise were endeavoring to sup
press the uprising. Several thousand of
Mataafa's followers defeated 1000 of the
followers of Malietoa Tanu, ambushing
them and killing and wounding many
The rebels burned 400 houses and destroy
ed the town of Upolu. They have cut
down many fruit trees. No foreigners
were injured.

Deaths in Santa Clara, Cuba, during

Late news from Samoa is that no king

The work of reducing the military
forces of the United States to a peace
footing is progressing slowly, but steadily.

Mob Lyrches Negroes.

Two negroes, George Call, alias Toney,
and John Shaw, alias Piglit, met death
at the hands of a mob in Lynchburg,
Tenn. There is no clew to the identity of
the lynchers. The negroes were about
10 years old. Ropes were around their
necks and it was the intention to hang
them, but the negroes showed fight and
were shot to death. The negroes were
whipped by White Caps year ago and
run out of town, but returned.
