ARMY BEEF INQUIRY ARMY OFFICER SAYS IT WAS CHEMICALLY TREATED. Sergeant Mason of the First United States Cavalry Says Armour's Agent Told Hint Refrigerated Beef Was Covered With Preservaline. Leavenworth, Kan., March 20.—The army beef court of inquiry concluded the taking of testimony at Fort Leavenworth at noon yesterday and at 4:15 departed for Chicago, whera the sessions were resumed this morning. The sole witness examined yesterday was Sergeant Edward Mason, Troop A, First United States cavalry, located at Fort Robinson, Neb., who served as regimental commissary sergeant at Lakeland, Fla., and during the Cuban campaign. Sergeant Mason’s testimony was probably the most direct that has been adduced since the court left Chicago. Sergeant Mason was interrogated individually by each member of the court, and could not be shaken in his testimony. Questioned by Recorder Davis, he told of the meat furnished on the voyage from Tampa to Cuba. No complaints were made of the canned roast beef, but the meat was tasteless and unsatisfactory generally and had to be thrown overboard. In Cuba the men of his regiment would not eat the canned roast beef and, as a rtiie, it was thrown away. The refrigerated beef issued. after the surrender was good, but as a rule, it spoiled before it could be used. * The witness was then taken in hand by Major Lee. He said he was detailed ! commissary sergeant at Lakeland about April 29, and served as such through to the close of the Cuban campaign. “Did you, as commissary sergeant or acting commissary sergeant for the regi- 1 ment, draw any refrigerated beef at Tampa or Lakeland?” asked Major Lee. “I did, sir.” “What occurred?” “The meat we received was, in appear- ■ auee, fine, but it was undoubtedly chemically treated. One morning I went down to the refrigerator car to draw meat, and I objected to the appearance , of it. An agent of Armour & Co. was there. Ido not know what his name was. He told me at the time that this! meat had been treated with what was' called preservaline. It was as if it had been painted over with paraffine wax. There was a light coating on the outside of the meat. I objected to the color of the meat and refused to accept it. Our commissary officer came down and he refused to accept it.” “About what time was that?” “The 28th or 29th of May.” “Who was the officer that came down?" “Lieutenant C. J. Hartman.” “About how much was there of this meat at that time?” “Probably 3,000 pounds that was in the car.” “Did you notice it generally!” “I examined the meat very carefully as commissary sergeant; I had handled meat before. The meat was undoubtely spoiled.” Were any reports made by Armour’s agent at the time as to the harmfulness or lack of harmfulness of this preparation; was it discussed?” “My recollection is that he stated that the preparation used did not hurt the meat; that it was safe. He advised us to cut off the outside, and said the meat would be all right in the interior next to the bone.” “Did he state where this had been done?” “No, sir.” “Where did the meat come from before coming to Lakeland?” “I do not know. It came in carloads; probably from Chicago or Kansas City.” • ••*••• By General Wade: “Were you at Lakeland when the car was opened?’! “I don’t think I opened the car, but I was there when it was opened.”

“Was that the only ear treated?” “No, sir; we would take about a car a week. We had four regiments there.” By General Gillespie—“ How did the agent happen to tell you about the appearance of the meat?” “The meat was supplied in the morning and it smelled bad and had a bad appearance. The agent just simply speaking of it said: •That is preservaline. That is the chemical we use to protect the meat—to preserve it.' As to what preservaline was I do not know.' ’ By General George W. Davis—“ Did all the meat you got at Lakeland appear to have this glossy surface like paratine?” “Yes, sir.” • « » « * « e “Who was present beside yourself at this interview with the agent of Armour ! & Co.?” “Lieutenant Hartman and probably Sergeant Ables, who is now a commissary sergeant at Santiago.” “Are you sure the agent was an Armour man?” “Yes, sir; I am positive of that, because I made out the vouch- , “What was his appearance?” “He was a short, heavy set man. In fact, I Armour had two agents there; one a young man of 25, the other decidedly Jewish in appearance.. The one I refer to was the young man." I “Could you scrape this material off I the surface of the meat —the presevaline?” “I could not say that we could scrape it off. It would break. ” Alger Going to Cuba. , Washington, March 20. — Secretary | Alger returned to Washington last night from his brief visit to Boston and Montreal. The secretary said he expected to leave Savannah, Ga., Thursday for a trip to Cuba on the regular trip of the transport Ingalls. He has never been to Cuba, and takes the trip both to familiarize himself with the conditions there and to get a brief respite from official duties at Washington. Pope Attends Mass. Rome, March 20.—-The pope attended : mass yesterday in his private chapel and ’ later received several persons in audi- ; ence. He occupies his leisure time in writing latiu verses. He Knew, ... o'' O w \ I9\ U? Elderly Spinster (to young reprobate, who has been swearing)—Oh, hew can you use such dreadful language? Do you know what becomes of little boys who ! do so? Billy—Yes’m. They gits ter be keb I drivers. —Fun. Complicated Case. “You are the first one legged highwayman that was ever brought before me,” said the magistrate. "I hardly know what to do in your case.” “You ought to let me go, your honor,” protested the prisoner. “I ain’t more’u about three-quarters of a man.” “Now that I reflect a little, however,” pursued his honor, “I shall bind i you over. You’re the long man and the shortman in one.” —Chicago Tribune. Simple Arithmetic. Shoe Dealer—Shoes should not be worn right along, ma’am. They should be given a chance to get back their shape. Buy two pairs, ma’am, and wear one pair one day and the other the next. Fair Customer —Will shoes last longer that way? Dealer (with confidence) —Yes, indeed, ma’am; twice as long.Mr. Asbury Peppers. “Speaking of the hospital”— began j Asbury Peppers. “Who was?” asked the impudent i boarder. “I was.

TROOPS COMING HOME GOVERNMENT IS WITHDRAWING THEM FROM C l BA. The One Hundred and Sixty-First Indiana Regiment at Havana to Be Mustered < Jut-Bear Admiral Schley Passes Examination For Promotion. Washington, March 21. —The Sedgwick has sailed from Newport News to Santiago and will bring the Ihird volunteer infantry to Savannah. The Meade has taken the Tenth infantry to Matanzas from Havana, and will bring the Twelfth New York to New York from that point. The Thomas is on the way from Havana to Savannah with the Two Hundred and Second New Y'ork. The Havana has sailed from Havana to Savannah with the Second Louisiana. The One Hundred and Six-ty-first Indiana and the Second Illinois, ordered to be mustered out yesterday, are now at Havana. The First Texas is on its way to Galveston, will stop at Dry Tortugas to be fumigated and inspected. Arrangements have been completed by the surgeon general of the Marine hospital service for the disinfection in this country of troops arriving from Cuba, which cannot receive this attention before embarkation.

The majority of the troops will be landed at Savannah and will be disinfected there, but others will receive attention at Brunswick, Black Beard island and Charleston. This is made necessary by the desire of the war department to get the troops over before the quarantine regulations of this country go into effect on the first of next month. The reports from Havana are considered very assuring, giving ground for the hope that the soldiers can now be brought home in large numbers without danger of spreading infection. GENERAL WHEELER Makes a Statement Concerning the Santiago Campaign. Washington. March 21. — Adjutant General Corbin has made public the statement which General Wheeler has felt called upon to make in order, as he says, “to refute certain allegations which reflect upon the cavalry division which I had the honor to command.” The statement is exceedingly voluminous, making really another history of the campaign before Santiago, and it is accompanied by an appendix made up of letters from officers who were connected with General Wheeler in his operations, to support the allegations he makes. General Wheeler begins with the declaration that some statements were made before the war investigation commission regarding the battle at La Guasimas which do great injustice to that part of the army which fought that battle. Steven Bonsai states that General Wheeler was guilty of disobedience of orders. General Wheeler says that to remain silent and neglect to refute the untruthful charges made by Bonsai would be disloyal to the soldiers of the country. WHEN THEY' COMMENCED Beginning of the Civil and SpanishAmerican Wars. Washington, March 21.—Judge Advocate General Lemly of the navy department has rendered an opinion as to the date of commencement and termination of the civil and the Spanish-Ameri-can war, as a basis for calculating the war service of officers to be retired after 30 years. He holds that the civil war began April 15, 1801, the date Lincoln's proclamation was issued and that it terminated Aug. 20, 1866, when hostilities ceased in Texas, and not April 2, 1866. as stated by the supreme coart. The Spanish-American war began, as declared by congress April 21, 1898, and it is held to be still in progress. SCHLEY' PASSED A Successful Physical Examination For the Rank of Rear Admiral. Washington, March 21.—Winfield S. Schley has successfully passed the physical examination for promotion to the rank of rear admiral in the navy before a medical board convened at the Washington navyyard. To complete the legal test, he must also pass a moral, mental and professional examination, and his papers are now before a board of rear admirals which convened at the navy department yesterday. It is said to bean unprecedented thing for an officer to fail in this professional examination for promotion to the rank of rear admiral. UNITED STATES Made a Mistake In Wasting Time and Cool Weather at Manila. London, March 18.—The Daily Chronicle, commenting upon the importance and significance of the dispatch from Manila, via Hong Kong, which it says “Obviously did not pass under the eye of the censor,” remarks: “The dispatch is in flat contradiction at every point with the official information given out at Washington. There is no doubt the situation is an ugly one, but there is nothing to be alarmed at. Omelettes are not made without breaking eggs. The Americans made a mistake in wasting time and cool weather in a vain hope that the Filipinos would grow to see the beauty of sweet reasonableness, but the job must be tackled, and no doubt America realixes it as well as we do.” Exceeded Contract Requirements. New Y’ork, March 18.—The United States survey steamer Pathfinder hai her official trial trip yesterday on Long Island sound and exceeded her speed requirements. The boat made 14 knots under natural draught and under forced draught she attained a speed of 16 knots. The contract requirements are 12 knots.

" In his lecture Sunday evening Dr. Houser made a serious mis stat™ concerning the workings of 1 suffrage iu Wyoming. As the doctor prokXsto be friendly to woman suffrage it is presumed his statement was he result of misinformation. He said that in Wyoming "the good "omen stay at home and the bad ones go to the polls." This is false in every particular, as can be proven >y the published statement of judges, legislators and at least one governor. The women are greatly in the minor itv as to numbers, it being a new state 'and therefore cannot exert the influence thev otherwise would, but they scratch the tickets unmercifully, so much so. that "what the women will do on election day has a guiding influence in their primaries. The doctor’s statement was misleading, hence this correction. M. A. Holloway-
