CDBAN PRIESTS
IN OPEN REVOLT
They Defy the Authority of the Bishop
of Hayana.
BREACH RAP
IDLY WIDENING
Priests Precipitated the Trouble by Is;
suing a Manifesto Against En
couraging Spanish Resentment
Bishop Tries to Present His Side
of the Case to Geo. Brooke, who
Has no Jurisdiction.
New York, Jan. 20. A dispatch to
the Tribune from Havana says :
The bishop of Havana and the Cuban
priests are engaged in a sharp contro
versy over the documents recently pro
mulgated by the priests. This was in
substance a manifesto against the bishop
for encouraging Spanish resentment,
and an appeal to the American authori
ties to sustain the Cubans. The bishop
has songht to present bis side of the case
to General Brooke and to discredit the
priests. He has cited the pastoral is
sued by him, counseling acqniescence in
the new order and the full acceptance of
the American authority.- The Cuban
priests number only thirty, but they are
aggressive in their attitude and are
very defiant of their superior ecclesias
tical power.
The peculiar political conditions make
it impossible for the bishop to enforce
discipline. This action of the priests is
a part of the general movement to de
stroy abnees which existed when tne
church and state were united nnder
Spanish sovereignty. In some parishes
the priests have returned te Spain. The
Cubans are demanding that all Spanish
priests be removed. Much bitterness is
shown on both sides.
The subject is not one of . which Gen.
Brooke can take cognizance. While the
bishop of Havana is an intense Spaniard
in sentiment, he has not questioned
v American control. The Cuban priests,
on the other part, have welcomed it and
promieed co-operation. The dispute is
a matter for the Vatican to arrange. It
is one of several delicate questions that
will confront Archbishop Cnappelle
when he arrives. '

EAGAN'S CAREER
IS ENDED
Will Be Removed From His Position
Without Regard for the Outcome
of His Trial.
New York, Jan. 20. A dispatch to the
Herald says :
Whatever may be the outcome of the
Eagan court-martial, it may be confi
dently stated that Eagan's career as
commissary-general of the army is at
an end.
His successor, Colonel John F. Weston,
has been elected. Orders have been tel
egraphed him at New York, directing
him to report for duty at once to the
secretary of war. This means that he
is ultimately to take charge of the com-misBary-general's
department. He can
not be nominated by the senate to suc
ceed General Eagan as commissary-general
until the latter has been dismissed
or relegated to the retired list.
Col. Weston, who is to become commissary-general,
is one of. the best
known officers of the subsistence depart
ment. He was the chief ' commissary
officer during the Santiago campaign.
He has been in the subsistence depart
ment since 1885, having previously
served in the line ot the army.
Opposed to Seating Roberts.
St. Louis, Jan. 20. Members of the
reorganized Church of Latter Day Saints
in St. Louis oppose the seating of Congressman-elect
B. H. L. Roberts, of
Utah, on the ground that he is a pro
nounced polygamist. At a businees ses
sion of the church the question was dis
cussed and a vote was taken, resulting
in the adoption of a resolution request
ing congressmen from this district to
nse their utmost efforts to prevent seat
ing the Utah man. '
CONFIRMS CHARGES
AGAINST EAGAN
Says lagan's Beef Fnrnislsi tie Forces

APPEARS AS
A WITNESS
Long-Expected Evidence of Major Daly
Chief Surgeon of the Porto Rican
Expedition.
Washington, Jan. 20. Major W. H.
Daly, chief surgeon with General Miles,
and whose field service Btretched from
Tampa to Porta Rico, whose report con
demning beef furnished the expedition
ary forces created a sensation some
weeks ago, made his long awaited ap
pearance as a witness before the war
investigating committee today.
Daly's report was the strongest in
language of those submitted by Miles in
substantiation of the attack on the beef
supplies. On being sworn the witness
identified the report submitted as his
own. He was willing, he said to stand
by bis report. . It was wholly voluntary,
and was not called out by any request
or in obedience to any circular or letter.
At Tampa he had noticed a quarter of
beef hanging free in the sun on ship
board, and he became interested in the
experiment of having fresh slaughtered
beef placed under such moist climatic
conditions to see how long it could stand
it.
"I observed," he said, "that flies, es
pecially bull flies, did not affect - it ; did
not light on it, or if they did they
got away from it very quickly."
He had cnt off a piece of that beef at
Tampa and cooked it, but it neither
smeiled or tasted naturally. He noticed
indications ot chemical presence in the
meat that brought beak recollections of
chemical stuff he had used to preserve
elk in hunting expeditions in the Rocky
mountains some years before. All that
day and next be had an unpleasant taste.
In that previous hunting expedition
be had analyzed the chemical preserva
tion and found it to contain borax and
salicylic acids. These were ' to be used
externally on elk, but he had rubbed it
into the raw flesh and also injected it.
Questioned as to these ingredients he
eaid borax was not safe to be used in
connection with food, nor for ordinary
medical purposes, wbile salicylic acid
was most nauseous, loathsome and dis
gusting, and almost always destructive
of indigestion.
GERMAN VERSION
OF THE TROUBLE
According to This Account Mataafa is
the Recognized King and Peace
Has. Been Restored.
Hamburg, Jan. 20. According to the
news received from Samoa, Chief JuEtu e
Chambers on December 31st annulled
the election of Mataafa, who was re
turned by a sextuple majority, and de
clared Malietoa Tanas, son of the latter
king, Malietoa, who is still a minor, to
be king. The three coiisnls recognized
Mataafa's people as the provisional gov
ernment. Malietoa Tan us, Tamasese, another
claimant for the throne, and Chief Jus
tice Chambers, it is added, went on
board a British warship, whereupon the
provisional government closed the court.
A british warship then landed a detach
ment of blue jackets, and later the court
was reopened under protest of the pro
visional government.
Washington, Jan. 20. There is still
lack of official report as to the situation
in Samoa, but it can be said that the
state department is moving in the mat
ter with dne deliberation, and in full re
gard for maintenance of the tripartite
agreement for government of the islands.
