MILITARY MEN OPTIMISTIC.
Those in Manila Encouraged by Recent
Happenings

Manila, JAN 14.-Optimism is taking
the place Of conservatism among the
military men here, the cause being the
numerous surrenders captures and de-
struction of insurgent camps coupled
with the increasing understanding of
the Americans intention among the ma
tives.
The propagation of the principles of
the federal party and the knowledge
that they are approved by the United
States Philippine commission and the
military authorities, and the carrying
out of the terms Of General MacArthur's
proclamation CHASING all who do things
inimical to the interests of the army as
rebels and traitors, together with the
offering of local autonomy and protec-
tion and showing the certainty of the
punishment of those who remain rebel
lious, are having pointed effect.
The cutting of communication and
supplies has destroyed the remnants of
the insurgents organization. The in
1abitants of the towns are disinclined
to any longer contribute secretly to
hopeless cause and it is generally be-
lieved that the pacification of suffi-
cient number of provinces to inaugurate
a general scheme of provincial govern
ment will be accomplished before many
more weeks have elapsed. The most
pronounced resistance at present is in
remote southern Luzon, northern Min
danao, Cebu and Bohol
The first batch Of thirty leading insur-
gents, who have been ordered to be de-
ported to the island of Guam, sail on
the transport Rosecrans tomorrow.
General Wheaton reports that fifty
three armed Bolomen have surrendered
at Benguet. Sixteen of Ceremonies
band were captured Sunday night and
brought to Montalban.

SENSATIONAL CLIMAX TO DREARY
DAY IN SENATE.

Commtssary General Showed Himself
Miserable observation-disclosures an
Amendment to Army Bill Which AL
lowed President to Retire the officer.
Washington, Jan. 14-Just at the
close of day of dreary discussion Of
technical details of the army reorgani-
zation bill Mr. Teller, Of Colorado,
speaking to an amendment he had Of
fered delivered a sensational denuncia-
tion of General Egan, former commits
sary general of the United States
army. His statement included also the
administration.
The amendment offered by Mr.. Tel
ler, of Colorado, was to that section of
the army bill which authorizes the
president to retire any officer who has
been suspended from duty either by
sentence of courtmartial or by eXecu-
tive order in mitigation of such SEN
tence striking out the words has been"
and substituting therefore shall be
hereafter" After saying that the sec
tion had been incorporated in the bill
for the purpose of enabling the presi-
dent to retire General Egan, former
commissary general Of the army, MI.
Teller declared it was retained in the
bill in order that an officer of the army,
Major w. Wham, might be got rid of.
He cannot be gotten rid Of in any
other way" said Mr.. Teller and "he
ought not to be gotten rid of in any
circumstance"
In the course Of his remarks, Mr..
Teller adverted to the case Of General
Egan at some length. Mr.. Teller de-
nounced General Egan in sensational
language "As an officer of the United
States army" said the senator, "he
made an exhibition of himself and
showed himself to be a miserable black
guard"
Referring to General Egans denial of
General Miles charges as to "embalm-
ed beef Mr.. Teller declared. "his Ian
guage was brutal and low and SO bad
1t could not be overlooked, although
there was very evident desire to over
look it.'
Mr.. Teller made. stinging attack
upon the president for having retired
General Egan, asserting the retire.
ment In the circumstances was deco
ration and a reward for his attack upon
the general commanding the army"
Mr.. Hawley made an appeal to the
Senate to cease discussion and pass the
bill. Twenty thousand men," said he,
will have to cross the Pacific before
the first of July and yet senators are
here discussing the matters that were
settled long ago"
"Fellow senator's concluded Mr..
Hawley earnestly, II beg you to let this
bill go through and to start the work
of raising troops to relieve the boys in |
the Philippines. I want the money and |
the order to raise troops to supply the |
deficiency and put down our enemies, |
keep our flag floating in the Philippines |
and maintain our honor" No vote on |
the bill was taken.

BUSINESS and NOT PLEASURE.
Earl Roberts Snys There Should he No
More Fetes at Present.

London, Jan. 14.-Earl Roberts has
written letter to the lord mayor of
London, Frank Green, postponing the
city's reception, and expressing the
opinion that in the present unhappy
circumstances in South Africa there
should be no further feting for some
time His lordship's decision applies
to all similar proposed functions. He
is visiting the queen at Osborne today,
but it is said his visit Is not connected
with the war.
The official list of the British casual
ties in the recent fighting at Belfast t
shows twenty-nine killed and fifty
three wounded and seventy-two miss
ing. This does not account for the
British losses at other points of simul-
taneous attacks by the Beers, namely,
Wonderfontein, Nooitgedache and Wild
fonten, and shows that affairs in that
quarter were more serious than Lord
Kitchener reported them to be.

Smokers.

West Point, N. Y, Jan. 14.-The con-
gressional investigation committee held
three sessions at the West Point acad-
emy to-day. The first two sessions and
the greater part of the night session
were occupied in the examination of
Cadet Lewis Brown, jr., of Newport r.
l., who was one of Cadet Keller's sec
onds in his fight with Booz. From the
line of examination adopted by the COM
mittee the congressman are evidently
bent on the abolition of hazing and
fighting at the academy.
They put Brown through an eXhaus-
tive examination, in the course of which
they elected the fact that the upper
classmen carry intoxicating liquors into
the reservation and consume quite a
considerable quantity of it. Another
stringent rule seems to have been brok-
Ell with impunity. This is the regula-
ton prohibiting smoking. Cadet Brown
acknowledged that the majority of the
cadets were cigarette smokers
In regard to the fourth-c -classmen be-
ing required to do such special duties as
carrying water, cleaning guns and
swords or making up beds, Cadet Brown
said that some of the upper classmen
required the special duty man to do all
of these things, but in the majority Of

SLEEPING ON THE SNOW.
A Contingent of NIaganrs on the Way to

Danielson, Conn.,. jan 4.-The con-
tigent of Magaars that landed in Bos-
lonesome weeks ago en- route from Rus
sia to the southern states, have reached
this town and encamped in the fields,
sleeping on the snow covered ground.
They are in the utmost destitution and
have caused considerable CONSERVATION
among the householders in the vicinity
of their encampment by their persistent
and sometimes threatening begging.
Word has been received by the local
authorities that the Magaars were or
dered from Putnam and Webster, where
they attempted to stop on their way
here, and similar action will be taken
here. A child was born to one of the
women last evening and mother and in
fant spent the night in the fields with
no other roof than the winter sky.
