Cincinnati, O., December 23.-Gen-
eral Miles returned to Washington to-
day after being the guest of honor
here last night at the New England
banquet. The Commercial Tribune to-
day has the following interview with
him:
When asked as to the investigation
into the beef ration scandal he is now
making, to which he referred in his
testimony Wednesday, General Miles
said:
my suspicious were aroused several
months ago and l at once instituted an
investigation into the matter of send
ing beef to the army in the West In
dies. The item in my testimony of
Wednesday relating to 327 tons of re-
frigerator beef, and $4,000 pounds of
canned fresh beef, which was unfit for
food, is only an item. This quantity
was sent to one town in Puerto Rico
alone. How much more was sent TO
Puerto Rico do not know"
How about the beef supply for the
army in Cuba?"
1T was just as bad. The conditions
there were no better than they were
in Puerto Rico. as l indicated in my
testimony"
How about ratiols before the army
embarked? Was the supply no better
before the transports sailed than after
the army was established in Cuba?"
ut was the same at Tampa and the
same at Jacksonville"
"Will you give little more light on
what you meant by this assertion in
your testimony before the War Com
mission yesterday"
General Miles suggested that the food
was sent to his large army under pre-
tence of an experiment.
81 think" continued General Miles,
that that sentence is sufficiently
plain"
ItltuSt, he Sdlu- 10 Tic pItClSc
term to be used. 1t is absurd to pre-
tend that these enormous quantities
of beef were sent to an entire army
simply as an experiment. To expect
that beef can be exposed to the tropi
cal sun for sixty hours without morti-
flying is out of the question"
How about the chemicals used in
preparing this beef"
CAS- l stated in my testimony, I be-
lieve that the action of these chemi
Gals was largely responsible for the
sickness in the army. I have medical
authority for this statement, and l
believe it to be true"
How far along has your own in
vestigaton into this subject pro-
gressed?"
1T began several months ago. I
have the testimony of large number
of officers upon this matter, some of
which I gave in my testimony before
the commission yesterday. My in
quiry is still in progress, and some of
the most important information have
received has been acquired in the last
few days"
What channel will this investiga-
ton take upon its conclusion"
Il will not discuss that. 1t is my
duty to investigate any wrong exist
ing in the army, and that l am now
doing in the regular military manner.
The work is not completed yet, and
until it is done 1 will have nothing
to add to the statement | made before
the war commission yesterday"
What was the matter with the
tents?"
There were not enough of them,
they were not suited to stand the
wear and tear, and some of them were
poor"

 In the disposition of the newly ac- pnircd territory we can safely trust to the president and republ can congress for wise and patriotic solution of the question.
 That We congratulate the people of this county and Arizona on the patri- Otic response to the call of the president for volunteers to defend the honor and flag of our country, and that Arizona was the first to muster and present her sons for that purpose, and that on Cuban fields her sons still ma ntained their foremost position in such q way as to cause the nation to thrill with pride at the pa riotic and noble example set by Arizona Rough Riders. and we give all honor To the mayor of PrcScott--Capt. O'Ncil-and all others who SO valiantly upheld the nations cause.

Pelayo Passes Suez Canal,

Washington, d G, July THE
naval agent at Suez this morning
cabled the navy department that
the Pelayo had passed out OF the
southern end of the canal into the
gulf. It has previously been re-
ported to the department that the
Pelayo had been disabled and
would be unable to proceed
The naval agent further reported
that the Pelayo and the Cardinal
Cisneros had secured the services OF
high priced gunners and experienced
machinists, He said these experts
were Frenchmep, that they had been
especially engaged for the trip, and
had joined the ships at Suez. The
American naval agent said that these
ships had been put in first class
fighting shape, and that the officers
were very confident of being able to
do effective service against the
enemy's ships.
The Pelayo is the last of the Ca
mara fleet to pass through. Word
had been previously received of the
passing out of the other vessels of
the fleet. This information is ac-
cepted at the naval Office as the final
determination of Camara to proceed
to the Philippines.

Ready to Sue For Peace.

Washington, July THE first
official information of a definite
character to indicate that the Span
ish government will seek to end the
war by the negotiation of treaty of
peace, came to the navy department
to day in dispatch from Lieuten-
ant Colwell, the United States naval
attache at London.
Lieut.. Coiwell said that Spain
would probably sue for peace this
week. The text of his advices can
not be obtained, but his report was
sufficiently positive to show that he
had information of reliable nature
on the subject. He has kept in
close touch with affairs in Madrid
and elsewhere in Europe through
excellent sources and is apparently
in 8 position to ascertain the inner
workings of Spanish politics at this
lime.

For i've weeks l lived on cold
water, so to speak" wli;es a man
who suffered terribly from indiges

He could hardly keep anything
on his stomach. What stayed WASH t

rible pangs.
This Is not an uncommon case.
Dvspeptics don't get enough nour-
ishment. They are generally thin
and weak
They may eat enough, but they
don't digest enough. AIuch of what
they eat turns into poison. II this
keeps on there's no telling what dis

That's why it is best DO take
Shaker Digestive Cordial as soon as

structor Richmond p. Hobson Of
the flagship New York and the seven
seamen who, with him, sailed the
collier Merrimac into the channel OF
the harbor of Santiago de Cuba on

Hobson and his men were escort

and sent up cheer after cheer for the
men who had passed safely through
the jaws of death to serve their
country.
GOES ON BOARD THE FLAGSHIP.
The same scenes of enthusiasm
were repeated upon the arrival of
the men at the hospital station and
at our base at Jurauga. Hobson,
who reached there in advance of his
companions, was taken on board the
New York Immediately. The flag
ships decks were lined with officers
and men, and as Hobson clambered
up her side and stepped on board
his vessel, the barber rang with
the shouts and cheers of the crews
of his comrades, which were re-
echoed by the crews of a dozen
transports lying nearby.
