HE WILL CARRY VERDICT INTO EFFECT Proceedings of Third Day. Speeches of Mr. Worthington and Judge Advocate Das vis. Claim that Eagan Lost his Mental Balance. Washington, Jan. 127. —The case of Commissary General Charles i\ Eagan is now in the hands of the court mar tial appointed to try him. Today the taking of testimony was closed and ar guments of counsel submitted. The trial had lasted three days and con sumed less than eight hours of actual sit ting. A session behind closed doors of an hour or so sufficed for the court to reach a conclusion and embody it in a report. What the verdict was is al together a matter of speculation, and officially at least will not lie made pub lic by the trial board, military regula tions requiring that its findings shall go through prescribed channels and be kept secret until action be had and pro mulgated by the proper reviewing au thorities. The testimony at the closing of the session of the court was directed largely to establishing the fact that the Gen eral had lost his mental balance as a result of the charges made against him by General Miles. His daughter and her husband told of the General’s chang ed condition and intimated that they had great fears that he might at any time kill his accuser. Mr. McKee, a life-long friend, stated that at that time he believed him act ually insane. The facts in this connec tion were brought out strongly by Mr. Worthington in his efforts to show that General Eagan at times was wholly irresponsible. A dramatic incident of the trial today was the testimony of the General's daughter in which she described her father’s appearance on the day he first read General Miles’ statement. Stand ing in the door of his house with the • newspaper containing the evidence in his hand he had exclaimed wildly: “I have been crucified by General Miles!” Mr. Russell A. Algor, the Secretary of War, was also a witness today. He said that he recalled a conversation he had with General Eagan shortly after General Miles had given his testimony. General Eagan came into his office in an excited state of mind and said it was his wish to prefer charges against General Miles for what ho had said. “I told him,” testified Secretary Al ger, “that under the President’s order granting immunity to officers who tes tified before the commission he could not do so.” Q. —“Mr. Secretary, did yon receive any instructions from the President on this point?” A. —“He said to me immunity had been granted to witnesses.” General Alger was then excused. Mr. Worthington began the argument lor the accused, saying that he contend ed that by the law of this country, civil, criminal or military, the defendant could not he called to account for what he said before the War Investigating Com mission. lie quoted from a number of high authorities to show that if the words spoken were pertinent and ma terial to the cause in hand and were not objected to by the tribunal hearing the same, and were not. malicious in character the witness' could not be held answerable. The remedy, said Mr. Worthington, lies with the tribunal before which Gen eral Eagan gave his testimony. If lie had been told by that commission that his language was exaggerated and iu admissable, he would have withdrawn his words at once, but at this late day to call him -to account was, said Mr. Worthington, unfair and unwarranted A by law. Counsel then called attention to the President’s public statement that wit nesses were given immunity and declar ed that this guarantee was claimed by the accused. Under these circumstances lie believed General Eagan was perfectly protected against any results such as had been forced upon him by this court. He had been accused of being party to crime, and in his statement to the inves tigating commission, he had defended his honor and innocence, as he had a perfect right to do. but using stronger language perhaps than he should have used. Mr. Worthington next quoted from au thorities to show that to convict the ac cused of conduct unbecoming an offi cer and a gentleman, the offense must be such that any brother officer who should after iiis conviction, take him by the hand or visit his home, or be on intimate terms with him would him self be disgraced t hereby, and render himself unfit to associate with gentle men and men of honor. The endorse ments of several high reviewing officers in the United States army on the find infs of courts martial were quoted as The News and Observer. LEJUKIU. »ls GAROUHA HUES 1! illS 111 eiKUUffir showing that the offense must he ex ceptionally heinous and such as would unlit the accused for association with right thinking men. Counsel then reviewed the statement made by General Miles and character ized it as without a parallel in the his tory of the country. He commented upon the statement that General Miles pretended to have known about the so called beef frauds for three months be fore he had sprung them upon the country in his testimony before the War Investigating Commission. During that time, said counsel. General Miles had not communicated the alleged facts to the responsible officers nor taken any steps to put a stop to them. Counsel reviewed at length the tes timony which had been given tending to show that General Eagan’s mind was so seriously affected by the accusations which had been made against him that his fslends feared that he would go out upon the street and shoot General Miles on sight. He was no longer him self and no longer could control his feelings or his actions. In concluding his address, which lasted over an hour,* Mr. Worthington made a strong plea for the accused, assert ing that through this whole controversy hi l hail conducted himself as an honest inan goaded to desperation by the cruel ami unjust accusations of his superior officer. Colonel Davis, the Judge Advocate, c’osod the argument. He said that he had no other idea from the beginning than that all the facts and the whole truth in this case be brought out. He sa d that if the accused thought himself aggrieved by the statement of General Miles he had a jmsitive and sure remedy. He had a right to demand a court of inquiry and he also had the undoubted remedy of resorting to the civil and criminal law. But ho saw fit to ignore all those remedies and to take the mat ter in his own bauds. He had prepared with deliberation, a statement, which he had read before the War Commission, which was grossly insulting and an undoubted infraction of the army regula tions as charged. On the question of immunity the judge advocate stated that in all courts the language, in order to be privileged.' must be pertinent to the issue, it cannot be slanderous or in violation of military regulations. This was the universal rule. The War Investigating Commis sion, which had been created by the or-; dcr of the President was an informal tribunal, necessarily so by reason of the I great scope given to its investigation. I and it was not such a tribunal as could punish for Contempt. It therefore might or might not receive any statement which might he presented. In this case it had returned the statements to Gen eral Eagan, declining to receive a paper of the character presented by the ac cused. He referred to General Miles’ statement regarding bad beef, and said that the commanding officers of fourteen regiments had declared the beef fur nished. to In* unfit for food. Whatever the facts this testimony could not bo ignored. Although General Eagan had. been criticised, so, he said, had many other high officers in the army, the heads of bureaus, and Admirals of the Navy. All had been more or less severe ly criticised, but they had continued to do their duty as men and officers. Judge Advocate Davis spoke only about 30 minutes, and as he concluded at 1:30 o’clock. General Merritt de clared the court closed and ordered the rooms to be vacated by all except the members of the court. The court was in executive session for a little over an hour, and in this brief space of time reached its conclusion, for it soon became known when the doors wore re-opened that a verdict had been reached, or, in military parlance, tin* court martial had made its findings. The fact was confirmed by the an nouncement from tin* Judge Advocate that the court had adjourned without day. It can be recalled only to correct a fault in the proceedings, which is a rare occurrence. In the regular order the findings and proceeding's must be carefully gone over by Judge Advocate Davis. He thought it was possible ihis afternoon to con clude his task to-morrow or Monday. He will place the papers in the hands of Judge Advocate General Liehor, whose duty it will be to make a most careful examination of every part of the record and findings with a view to the detection 1 of any irregularities in the forms. I*re- j suming that he finds all of these things regular, he will forward the papers to the Secretary of War with his endorse-, meat, if he sees fit to add one. and the latter will act finally “by direction of the President." according to the form of practice adopted in Secretary Lamont’s time. It is proper to state that, it is pos sible for the papers to pass through the hands of General Miles at some stage in the proceedings, he acting also in the capacity of a reviewing authority, but this is not a uniform practice, and there was a notable exception in the Carter court martial.

N. 0., SaTUEOAV MORNING-, .JANUARY 28, 18#9. MR. PLATT URGES IMMEDIATE RATIFICATION American Freedom Would Bless the Philippines. NATIVE TYRANT A CURSE DECIDE WHAT SHALL BE DONE A FTER RAT I F If ' AT IO N . THE PENSION APPROPRIATION BiLL Mr. Gormtn Says if Troops are Not Recalled fnm Tropical CFmes Before Sep'em > ber Pension Roll Will it crease Fifiy Thousand Names. Washington, Jan. 27.—Particular in terest was manifested in the Senate to day in a brief speech delivered by Sen ator T. C. Platt (New York) on the gen eral subject of expansion. Mr. Platt took for his text the anti-expansion reso lution offered by Mr. Vest (Missouri'), but in the course of his speech merely touched upon the constitutional question involved in the proposed declaration. Mr. Platt took strong grounds for the ratification of the treaty, holding there was nothing in the Constitution to prevent the United States from acquir ing foreign territory. Continuing he suid: “The disorder now existing in the Philippine Islands, to which Senators who are opposing the treaty may well afford to consider how far they are con tributing, and the unwillingness of tin* armed natives to -accept American au thority. does not constitute in my mind the slightest ground on which to base a vote against the Paris agreement. On , the contrary it affords a new reason why I our action should he the more prompt ' and unanimous. No Senator has had the hardihood to suggest that we shall now return these islands to the Smin ish Government, and no other disjiosition of them is inconsistent with a vote to confirm the treaty. Imputations have been made here upon the purposes of those who advocate the assumption by the United States of Philippine sov ereignty, which can scarcely Is* genuine. All this talk about forcing our Govern ment upon an unwilling people, all this eloquent invocation of the spirit of the Declaration of Independence is far and away from any real point that concerns the Senate in this discussion. No Sen ator can suppose that there exists an American statesman who approaches the consideration of the Philippine prob lem. with any other than the most be nevolent intentions concerning the Fili pinos and their future. Thun* are rea sons why the natives of these islands af ter their experience with Spanish mis rule, should misunderstand the pres ence at Manila of an American army, but there is no reason why an Ameri can Senator should misunderstand it, apd no justification of his course in misrepresenting it. He knows that there is no American in all this broad land who wishes any other fate to any sin gle native of the Philippine Islands than his free enjoyment of a prosperous life. He knows that close in the wake of American rule there would come to the Filipinos a liberty that they have never known and a far greater liberty than they could ever have under the arrogant rule of a native dictator. He knows, moreover, that it would be self-rule, the rule of the islanders to tin* full extent of their capacity in that direction, and that each successive American President would welcome the time when he could recommend new leases of self-govern ment to an advancing and improving peo ple. The Filipinos may not know these things yet, but every American .Senator knows them and puts himself and ! ; s country in a false position when, by ; attributing the spirit of conquest and aggression to those whose policy lias res cued the Filipinos ’ from Spain and would now rescue them from native tyrants, he encourages them to doubt the generous sentiment of our people. I do not say that these considerations are absolutely conclusive of our right and duty to assume the direct and exclusive government of the Philippines, for we have our own interests to think about, but certainly they forbid the use on this floor of any arguments which tends to imperil the safety of our troops at Manila or which adds one whit to the J emharnssmeut of the Administration in j the trying situation by which it is oon j fronted. j “Mr. President, I do not know and I ! don’t think any one else can know just what ought to he done with the Philip pine Islands beyond this that we ought as instantly as possible to complete t he withdrawal of their sovereignty from the k'ngdom of Spain and that wo-ought ourse’ves to assume its obligations and prudently to discharge them until we have had full opportunity in our councils to determine their best disposition. This is all that the Treaty of Paris pro poses or imposes. It is all that the Ad ministration has at any time suggested, it is no more than a safe and conserva tive policy advises. It is no less than our public obligations require. It is a plain, clear, positive duty. It is one of those duties that are not to be got rid of by evasion nor even by denial. It j would remain after you had rejected the treaty. It lies in the nature of the sit uation. Your army, your navy and ( flag are at Manila. You eau add to their . dangers if you will. But these duties I abide and the will of the nation must j be done.” Before Mr. Platt's speech Mr. Mason tills.), asked unanimous consent for a vote on his resolution declaring it t« he the policy of the United States no: to attempt to govern the people of any . ether nation, next Fliilay at 1 o’clock. Mr. Carter (Mont.), objected. A like request Was made by Mr. Hoar with respect to his resolution de claring that the Philippines ought to be free anil independent. Mr. Carter again entered an objection, i expressing at the same time his regret at what he regarded his duty in entering ! the objection. Mr. Carter, understood, he said, that the resolution pending in the Senate on expansion had been presented as texts upon which Senators would base remarks. He thought it proper that the several resolutions lie on the table until late in the session in order that all who so desired might submit remarks upon them. The following resolution was offered by Mr. Sullivan (Miss.), who asked that it lie on the table: “That the ratification of the Trending treaty with Spain shall in no wise de termine the policy to be pursued by the United States in regard to the Philip pines nor shall it commit this Govern ment to a colonial policy: nor is it intend ed to embarrass the establishment of a stable independent Government by the people of those isles when conditions make such proceeding hopeful of suc cessful and desirable results.” Under the arrangement concluded last evening consideration of the Pension Appropriation Bill was resumed, Mr. Gorman (Maryland) desiring to submit some remarks upon it. After calling attention to the large amount carried by the measures—about $145,000,000 —Mr. Gorman said that notwithstanding the fact that 17 per cent of our soldiers who had been find were still engaged in the war with Spain in tropical countries, were suffering from illness that would make them proper applicants for pensions, no provisions had been made in the pending measure for this increase in the pension bill. At this point Mr. Gorman was inter rupted by Mr. Hale, (Maine) who said that he bad been informed by a promi nent officer of the army that if our troops were not recalled from Cuba be fore June or July at latest the entire arnry on the island would be down with illness. Continuing, Mr. Gorman said that the war with Spain would swell the pension roll by at least fifty thousand names, if, (he troops were net recalled, from the tropical dime by tvii 'first of next Sep tember. “Within three years from this date.” said Mr. Gorman, in conclusion, “the pension roll will amount to Jtios oao ono a year. If you add to that the cost of maintaining your army (a thousand dollars a man) the American republic will in the year 15)00 expend more for its arn y and pensioners than any other nation on the face of the earth. That is a fact which the American people will have to face -and they ought to kuow, in advance, what is coming to them, if the schemes and projects that are being forced upon us are carried out.” After a short debate the bill was pass ed, and at 2:07 the Senate went into executive session. At 4:50 p. m. the Senate resumed business in legislative session, tin* order of business being eulogies of the late Representative Cook, of Illinois. Addresses were delivered bv Mr. Ctil lom (Illinois): Mr. Mason (Iowa): Mr. Wellington (Maryland) and Mr. Mason (Illinois). At the conclusion of the eu logies the Senate at 5:15 n. m. as a further mark of respect adjourned. ■AGUINALDO’S DENIAL. He Sent No Telegram Uurging His Peo ple to Fight Americans. Agoiicilio authorized the following statement today concerning a published report that the Government had inter cepted dispatches from him to Agninnldo in which he advised that the Filipinos light for their independence and that now was the time to act: “The statement is absolutely false and is calculated to excite feeling and ani mosity in this country and to prejudice the Philippine cause. No such telegram has ever been sent by me. and for that reason no such telegram could have been intercepted. The falsity of the state ment is shown by the fact that 1 have cabled my Government to continue the same friendship which was born on the battlefield against Spain. Tin* Philip pine people have no wish and no pur pose to fight against the Americans un less they are driven to it. Their only desire is to strengthen the bonds now existing." Other members of the Filipino Junta, who were present when Agoneillo made this statement, concurred in what he said and emphasized the latter’s declara tion that all his advices hail been to ward an avoidance of a rupture. Agoneillo also expressed the positive opinion that the cable report that tin* Filipino Congress had authorized a declaration of war was not correct, as In* says the Filipino people do not want a conflict with the Americans and will dn everything possible to avoid it.

TROUBLECOME PATCH OF WILKES COUNTY It Loves not Wilkes tut the Heart of Wilkes Still Goes Out to it. Exp cted to Prove a Fruitful Source Source of Oratory in the Senate To day. A bill that is giving the Senate no lit tle trouble is the one revising, amending and consolidating the insanity laws of the State. The bill has been reported from committee some three or four times anil brought up in the Senate equally as often and each time it has retreated in the face of a fire of amend ments that lias sent it to the printer for repairs. This not because of any hostility to the bill but because it is a very difficult matter with present fa cilities to provide for the proper care of the State’s insane. The points of the bill that have been most attacked is the provision to care for the dangerous insane at the peniten tiary and the provision to admit ine briates. The bill was brought up yester day and these provisions roused so much opposition that it was deemed best by those in charge of the bill to allow it to go over and it was made the special order for Tuesday, the 31st, at noon. In the discussion yesterday Senator Brown declared that unless it could be shown that the effect of the lull would not be to put the insane in the peniten tiary he should oppose it to the end. Senator Justice thought tnat after the bill was carefully considered it would be found not to do this. He had been ippestd to it at first but had changed his opinion after going over it with more care. He believed it the best solution of the difficulty. Senator Travis thought that when convicts became insane they should be amitted to the asylums as other insane persons are and not in the guise of convicts. He was opposed to ad mitting inebriates to the asylums there by crowding out the insane. Senator Stanbaok thought more time should he taken to consider the bill. A number of amendments were sent up and ordered printed for the conve nience of the Senators. The matter of swapping counties in the Seventh and Eighth Congressional districts was begun by the introduction of Senator Fields’ bill to repeal the law of 1897 which placed Gaston and Cleve land counties in the Seventh, and Yad kin ami Davie in the Eighth Congres sional district. No petitions for either of the latter counties were presented from Democratic Congressmen, actual or prospective. NEW BILLS REFERRED.
