Albany, N. Y., Jan. 17.--Governor
Roosevelt announced yesterday that he
was in correspondence with the United
States military authorities in reference
to the payment of the First and Sixty-
ninth regiments.
The men mustered out of the service
after lJanuary 1, under the ruling of
the federal authorities, will not receive
as much as those who were mustered
out prior to that date. by the difference
between federal and state pay.
The governor proposes that the fed-
eral authorities repay to New York
state the difference in the money paid
to the man mustered out before) Janu-
ary 1. if this is refused. he asks
that the men mustered out aftor Janu-
ary 1 be paid like the others. and pro-

ed.
If no satisfactory arrangcment can
-be made the governor hroposas that
the state shall make an appropriation

late chairman of the committee on

Gn'at, Britain's Attitude.
London, Jan. 17.--Diplomats here re-
fuse to take seriously the revival of
the report cabled from Washington,
that the Unitod States is willing to ex-
change the ~li'hilippine islands for tho
Brinsh 'West Indian islands. A high
~oliicial of the foreign office character—
tztad the statement as absurd. He said
that while the continental powers ap-
pcared to be willing 'to permit the Uni-
Ltd tates to hold the Philippines as
spoi1s of war, they would not be likely
to remain passive spectators of a
change in the balance of power in the
far East which would result from
Great Britain’s acqulrcment of those
islands, particularly so at this critical
time in the Struggle for domination in
China.
If such negotiations are on foot the
officials of the United States embassy
here have no knowledge of them.

Washington, D. C.. Jan. 17.--In the
list of brevets handcd to the president
by too m.litary commission appointed
to confcr honors for gallant services in
the war, is tho name of Colonel Roose-
velt to be a brigadier general.
A £on medals of honor have been
awarded to soldiers, but the general
question of awarding medals has not
come up for final consideration.
It was necessary to dispose of the
brevets in ’.l'l: Cuba 11 campaign firSE.
that the requirements of the la.v might
better be observed in selecting candi-
dates l'or the other distinguishing
mark of recognition.
Some pcrsonal act of bravery of an
unusual character to which there are
eye witnesses is the requirement for
an honor 11nd 3.1 '
The friends of Governor Roosevelt
have been zealous in attempting to pro-
cure for him such a mark of honor.
When the case is rcnched the testimony
of Gcncial V. ood 11d other associates
of Colonel Rcosmelt in the field \Vlil
got the weight to which it is enti-
tied
Brevets in the P01 to Rican campaign
soon will be awarded .to be followed
also by the distribution of medals and
certificates, as in the campaign 1:1
Cuba. "
The‘ board is composed of Generals
Schwann and Boynton and Colonel
Carter.
The list s1: bmittcd in the case of the
Santiago campaign includes the names
of five hundred and four persons.
The brevets recommended will rc~
quire not only the approval of the
president. but must be confirmed by
the Senate. '
Earth Sank \Vitlluut Warning.
Scranton, Pa, Jan. 17.--Saturday eve-
ning a cave 'in occurred in the neigh-
borhood of the Ravine shaft in upper
Pgttston. There have been a number
of cave irs at this place and every
time it occurs there is considerable
damage.
’011 Saturday night the earth sank
without warning and there was a. great
deal not commotion and excitement.
This place is undermined, and it is
no unusual thing for the surface to
crack. walls to crumble and houses to
be swallowed up.
Two houses were. badly shaken. 'l'ne
cave in also caused the breaking of
the water main and for a time it 1001;-
ed as if the whole of upper Pittston
would be flooded. The break was re-
paired, but it was some hours later be-
fore the people could agaln procure
rater from their hydrants.
This mine has not been worked-for
some time on account of a fire raging
within andbeneath the surface.
The damage cannot be estimated at
present. but great fears are entertain-
ed regarding future cave ins.

as Subject of illeial Consideration.
London, Jan. 16.—-A subject which
will engage the attention of Ambassa-
dor (‘Zhoate immediately upon his ar-
rival in England is one which links
the nolltioal fate of the Philippines
and that of the British \Vest Indies.
Several public hints have been made
Within the past few weeks as to the
great mutual advantage that would
accrue to the I’nited States and Great
Britain from the lattcr’s relinquish—
mcizt of her principal possessions in
the W‘cst Indies in exchange [11' a
foothold in the Philippines.
The suggestion has not met with the
outburst of opposition which might
h’1\C. been (injected. This is perhaps
due to the fact that it is not taken so-
ricusiy by the British public. .3
The idea of surrender of 8. Boot of
soil anywhere which has long becn un-
der the British flag, is deeply repug-
nant to the British heart, no matter
how obvious the advantage-s of an (X-
chztitgo may be.
Initish opinion, however. has under-
gone some radical modifications in the
past few months; the desperate, almost
hopeless, financial and commercial c011-
ditlon of Jamaica and other islands
has been fully explained by the Eng—
llSh newspapers, and in fact it has
been admitted that the only may to
rig-establish prosperity is through a
political union with the United St.:-tes.
0n the other hand, the enormous po-
litical and matenial value of the Phil-
ippines has been clearly pointed out.
The great difiiculties of administra-
tion on the basis of liberty and free
institutions will in no way discourage
British statesmen or laymen.
It is probably true, therefore, that if
a pro::osit1o1'1 of an exchange of the
British V‘V'est Indies for the Philippines
is made after these considerations have
fructified in the public mind it will not.
cause tho uproar with which it would
have been greeted six months ago.
An assert on that there have already
been important discussions of the sub-
ject and that consultations and an ex-
change of papers bearing thereon be—
tween the foreign and colonial offices
have taken place would probably call
out a. prc111pt and official denial of the
same.
It. is affirmed, however. that such :1
project will encounter no serious oppo-
sition in either of those departments
of the British government.
This is one of the possible solutions
of the hilippine problem which arr:
within the range of practical poli—
tics.
SSELL HOYT COUNTERFEITER.
Tl'e Gentle-man Leader of 3 Famous Gang
Din-s in a Hospital.
Danbury, Conn., Jan. 16.--Russell
Hoyt, the former New York business
man, whose country residence at Beth-
el was discovered to be the headquar—
ters and workshop of a gang of fa—
mous counterfeiters, several years ago,
died Saturday in the hospital in this
city of infirmities brought on by prison
life.
Hoyt was a member of an aristocrat-
ic family, and spent his summers at
his place in Bethe}. He had been en-
gaged in various enterprises in New
York and Brooklyn and was thought
to be wealthy.
United States secret service officers
who were watching Big Murphy, a fa-
mous oountcrfeder. followed him to
I-loyt's place in Bethel, and the de-
tectives became convinced that they
had discovered the headquarters of a
gang of counterfeit'ers who had been
circulating the finest imitation of a $2.)
bank note they had ever seen.
Hoyt's brother, Lorenzo, one of the
solid citizens of the village, was also
arrested. It has always been supposed
that he gave the information that led
to the discovery of the counterfeiting
plant and the arrest of the members
of the gang, for he was released soon
afterward and his brother was sentenc-
ed to a long term in prison.
The plates from which the counter-
feits were made and the presses and a
large '.uantity of a. remarkably fine
imitation of the bank note paper used
by the government. were found buried
in the yard of Hoyt’s house.
It is be; loved that Hoyt discovered
the secret of making the government
paper and that the secret dicd with
him“
~11)» officers never discovered where.
the. paper come from. and it's striking
similarity to the ._,snuine paper caus-
ed them a great deal of uneasiness.
A fox'..,1110ntl:s ago Hoyt was pardoned
b1. Lthz: '11'csidcnt because he had pa-
Ia'lysis and- could it vo only a short time.

“The press reports quote General Ea-

made such a statement. I know noth~

only speak of the beef I saw myself at
Santiago, and I can say that it was
good, I have expressed no opinion on
any other beef.
“The tirade of General Eagan against
General Miles is indefensible, and the
affair has taken‘sucn a serious Iturn
that I have no inclination to express
an opinion in'the matter or discuss the
details. I have made it my policy to

President llIchiiuley and ‘Sccr. tax-y Alger
to Order
General Tried for His Violont Azmck
Determino the Commissary-
on Rigor-General )[i es.
Washington, D. 0., Jan. 16.--It has
been decided by the president and the
secretary of war that Brigadier Gen-
eral Charles P. Eagan, commissary
general of subsistence, will 'be court
mvartialled without delay for his de-
famation of Major General Miles.
Before the trial of General Eagan
occurs that officer will be relieved
from duty as commissary general and
placed under arrest.
This decision is the result of the
careful consideration given of the mat—
ter by the presic'lr-nt and secretary of
war, who foresaw immediately after
the submission of the statement that
there could be no other course than
to direct the court martial of the offi-
cer who so flagrantly violated the
principles of a gentleman and an offi-
cer of the United States army.
It has developed that, rather than
prefer the charges against Gen. Milt-s
which lcncral Eagnn proposed to
make in his statement before the com—
mission. the chief clerk of the com.—
mlssaiy and subsistence department
threatened to resign.
The chief clerk is \Villlurn A. De—
caindi‘y. a nicn'ibcr of the Cosmos Club
of this city and well known in liter—
ary and sc'icntific circles. Mr. Decain-
dry and tho commissary general have
not been enjoying cordial rclations, and
the trouble culminated when General
Eagan desired the chief‘ clerk to pre-
pare the charges against General
Miles.
The clerk refused to obny his chief,
and wrote out his resignation, but. by
the advice of friends he has not pre~
sentcd it.
The determination to court martial
General 'zlj'an was formally reached
Saturday, after the president had been
in conference with several public men
and had consulted with Secretary Al-
ger who w as at the White House for
mom than or hour.
It is not i213 '-:'.dsd to let the beef can'-
troversy cro- into the trial. So far
a Sthl? 1'1'1's’1‘:nt Is concerned, ‘23 has
no desire to hermit the controversy to
continue. and he will accept the re-
port of tho war commission as final.
Gcneral Hagan will be tried on char-
gcs arising out of the violent/language
hc employed -'.'-n attacking Gen. Miles.
The most izzig'ortant charge will be
conduct Lt11l116ccm'irtg an‘ ofiicer and a
gentleman in violation of the sixty-
first article of war,” the penalty for
violation of which is dismissah
He will probably be also tried for
“conduct to the prejudice of good order
and military discipline, in violation of
i111" 111'11'11.‘ i'c:.~'.'.11ations."
-Thern is: mcry reason to believe that
the prcsideitt and secretary of war
have given Scrious consideration to the
charactcr of tho charges which will
be preferred : gainst General Eagan.
