▼is, the I vocals of the Eagan
courtmartial engaged today in
going ova: thcord of the proceed-
tog*. in iss the work
end deliver i to the Moratory
of war before 1 expiration of the day.
Officially yet known of the
nature of the vsfi dtot of the court and it
is improbable that even Secretary Alger
is acquainted with it, notwithstanding
the fact that all the members of the
eogjrtuuM’tial were guest* at * dihlMSF
given itr their honor at the secretary’s
home last night.
.. There is no settled practice respecting
the course to be taken in these presi¬
dential courts. Amy regulations, No.
886, provide:
“The report which the judge advocate
general may render upon cases received
secretary of war nud will be forwarded
through the commanding general of the
army for such remarks and recommen¬
dation as he may see fit to make.’’
By one construction this Eagan of this courtmartial regulation
the record of
would be necessarily delivered by the
judge advocate general to General
Miles, who would transmit it to the secre¬
tary of war. However, it may be that
the judge advocate'general may not
render ,a report upon the case, go that
the routine prescribed would not nocos-
sarily follow, - - -.......------—r—--
Proceedings Sent to Alger.
At any rate it is the intention of Judge
Advocate Davis to deliver the proceed-
ings of the court, when he has concluded
with them, directly to the secretary of
war, who may, and probably will, refer
the papers to tbe judge advocate gen¬
eral for legal review. It is probable
that tbe latter officer will consnme about
a week in the examination of the pa¬
thepresident pers, so that they will not Feb, come before

There 1* already awaiting action at
the White Houle, technically, though
actually in the hands of tbe attorney
general, the record ot the courtmartial
in the case of Captain Garter ot the en¬
gineer corps* military * case of the greatest im¬
portance in jurisprudence, and
os thi« occupies the first place on tbe
docket of presidential cases it is possible
that the president may decide to poet-
pone action npon the Eagan cam until
he has passed upon that of Captain
Garter.
Eagan Although adjourned still sine die. Rte
courtmartial preserves its
legal existence and will continue to do
so until the findings reached by it have
been finally acted npon by the execu
five. This practice is made necessary
by the occaional discovery of an error at
some i-tnge of the proceedings which re-
quiressracb correction as can be admin¬
istered by the full court.
Verdict May Be Dismissed.
The correspondent of the Ohicflg ago
__
Times Herald has sent his paper the
Dismissal from the military service
of the United States without any recom¬
mendation for clemency is the verdict
passed by tbe courtmartial upon Com¬
missary General Eagan for his recent
viroient attack npon General Miles.
The verdict was reached within 4fi
minutes after the trial ended yesterday.
“Notwithstanding the nature of the
oourt’s conclusions, clemency if he the president non
exercise so desires and
General Eagan’s friends will nrge that
bis punishment be confined to relieving
him from the duties of commissary gen¬
eral of snbduteuce and \to ft detail to
