This has been brought about by the
short cablegram sent BY Minister
Wo0dford frem Madrid, in which he
states that the minister had resigned
and his resiEuatioo had been accepted
before he (Nr. Woodfoed) presented
the request Of thu United States that
he be recalled. The odacials here feel
an Interest In learning the details OF
happenings tn Madrid yesterday and
are waiting for Mr.. Woodford's prom
ised full report. But unless this should
contain some statement that u not now
expected there IL NO disposition on the
part OF the government to pr0tract the
closing Of this unpleasant Incident, and
It Ia not expected that anything In the
nature Of q demand for an apology
would be made. II q graceful dis
claimer should come. that will be
taken In the spirit in which It is made.
otherwise the matter will be dropped
and the relations between the State
Department and the Spanish legation
will run smoothly once more through
the medium Of Senor Du Bose, the first
secretary, and now charge d'afYaires.
II can be said for the President that
he shows little personal concern In the

to pursue Mr.. De LONE In any personal
spirit, and with this spirit In the head
Of the American nation. the end Of the
affair may be said to have been
reached.

Washington, Dec. 29.-The war de-
partment has issued orders assigning
Maj. Gen. Lawton to service in the

command to Gen. Otis, and in the
event of the appointment of Gen Otis
as governor general of the Philippines,
viii assume military command of the

Synopsis Of Officers Reports
to Gen. Miles.

Washington, Dec. 29-The war inves-
tigating commission held only a short
session today, devoted to executive
business. There were no witnesses
ready for examination. The Swift
Packing Company of Chicago, which
protested against the statement in Gen.
Miles testimony derogatory to the
canned roast beef furnished his eXpe-
ditions, has notified the commission of
its inability to be on hand on Jan. 4,
as expected, and Jan. 8 has been set as
the date of the appearance of its rep
resentatiVe.
The commission today made public a
synopsis of the reports of oihcers TO
Cen Miles on results obtained from the
use of canned fresh roast beef in cam
paigns in cuba and Porto Rico. These
reports were submitted by Gen. Miles
when he gave his testimony last week
and We're presented in substantiatton
of his vigorous denunciation OF the
canned beef A synopsis of the reports
as furnished follows:
Commanding officer Fourth infantry,
Mai. Baker: THE beef seemed to be Of
inferior quality and was anything but
palatable. Quite a number of men
Commanding officer Sixth infantry,
Lieut. Col Minor: The meat was ut
terly unfit as an article of diet for
either sick or well. 1t had no nutri-
ment in 1t. and turned the stomachs of
the men who tried to eat it.
Commanding officer Ninth infantry,
Col Powell: THE meat produced disor-
dered stomachs. was not nutritious,
soon became putrid, and in many Of
the cans was found in course of putri-
faction when opened"
Commanding officer Twelfth infantry
Mai. Humphrey, said The meat pre-
sented such a repulsive appearance
tbs men turned from it in disgust.
Nasty is the only term that will fifty
describe this appearance. Its use pro-
duced diarrhea and dysentery.'
Commanding officer Thirteenth infan-
try, Col. A. T. Smith: MANY COM
plants were made concerning the meat.
1t was found very unpalatable and was
unfit for issue to troops"
Commanding officer Seventeenth
| infantry Major O'Brien: THE nutri-
tious juices having been cooked out of
the meat, it was neither nourishing nor
palatable. 1t was often nauseating and

GOLD IN THE RIVERS,
Europe's Streams Are Filled with Pre-
cious Metal.

Europo's Streams Are Filled with Pre-
cious Metal.
In the River Seine a small quantity
of gold exists in a state of division so
fine as to be invisible to the unaided eye,
and it is said that when the sand of the
river near Paris is used in making glass.
the crucibles in which it is melted are
frequently found to be gilded over at
the bottom. In former times, in fact,
says the New York Sun, a sort Of mining
was in vogue on the Seine at Paris, car
ricd on by men who would buy a francs
worth of quicksilver, and, after passing
the sand Of the river over it all day,
would sell it in the evening for six or
seven francs-a kind of work which,
however, for some reason was discon-
tinued. Almost all the rivers of Europe
carry small quantities of gold in their
sands, such as the Rhine, the Seine,
the Aar, the Reuse, the Danube and 9th
ers; also the Clyde and many other
streams in Scotland, Ireland, Wales and
Cornwall; and, though one ton of sand
from the bed of the Rhine, for instance,
yields only 9h grains Of gold, or one
fifth OF an ounce, yet the total amount
OF the yellow metal in that one river
is believed to be immense. It has been
found, indeed. by careful scientific ex-
animation and calculation, that that
part of the River Rhine alone which
flows through what was formerly 4
portion of French territory contains no
less than 10000 tons of pure gold. -.

THE CORPSE DEFIED TIME.

Kept in Good State of Preservation
Thirty Years.
The grave of Capt. Jacob King, at
Marietta, O., who died in the army 33
years ago, was lately opened in order to
make room for his wife, who has just
passed away, says an exchange. Capt.
King was buried in a steel casket, sealed
and perfectly air-tight. In consequence
of this fact there was quite a crowd of
relatives and friends of the family pres
ent when the coffin was exhumed to
view the remains. When the plate over
the glass was removed and the remains
exposed to view the whole of Capt.
Kings features were plainly visible.
His face had not even Dlackened to 4
great extent, and one of his grandchil-
dren who had never seen him in life
declared that he could recognize him
from the picture lie had left. Capt.
King was buried in, full uniform, which
was as fresh-looking as the day it was
inferred. The buttons had lost none of
their brightness, and even the cotton
on which his head rested was not dis
colored in the least.
The only part of the face that showed
the ravages Of time and decay were
his eyes, which were gone. entirely.
The glass was broken and the effect Of
the air on the corpse was not ascer-
tanned. Capt. King was mason and his
badge was plainly visible. He wss ly-
ing in Mound cemetery, whose soil is
quite sandy, but whether this had any
thing to o,with his preservation is
unknown.
