BEER FOR SOLDIERS.
Is Recommended by Commissary
General Egan.

Washington Dec. 13-Comnfssary
General Egan of the war department
continued his testimony before the war
investigating committee. He urged that
the subsistence department should con-
troll the transportation of all it's own
supplies and the furnishing Of means
for cooking and eating He said the
secretary of war today approved a bill
authorizing the subsistence department
to build and furnish bake ovens, mess
equipment, etc, which was much need
ed. He thought the QuartermaSter gen.
erals department was oVerburdened
with duties innumerable. He pointed
out that the British army was not as
well fed by any means as our own and
that rattOnS already provided the United
States soldiers are satisfactory with the
possible exception OF dried fruits. He
spoke of the constant and urgent i'm
pOrtunities which he said some times
amounted to persecution, that various
articles of food be added to the regular
ratiOns- These opportunities were
backed by strong support and heavy
capital.
One well known senator whose name
he withheld, he said, had proposed and
insisted on one article being added,
which he claimed would cost only about
one cent a ration. While this might be
so for the whole army. its cost would
amount to an amazing figure. He said
he believed beer should be furnished

the best of beef. but after the contract
was entered into and the beef aboard

Miles had telegraphed him that he
could get the beef on the island Con-

refrigerated beef as against native
beef" He said he had not sent a re-
frigerator plant to San Juan.
Referring to the ignorance in the vol

Egan said there should be one commits
sary sergeant with each regiment to in
stFuct the others as to the use and ex-
tent Of rations.

About to Be Opened.

New York, Dec. ia dispatch to the
World from London says:
Intense excitement prevails here over the
approaching opening of the bruce coffin

Mrs. Druce has finally overcome the le-
gal obstacles raised by the Duke of Port

chancellor of the diocese of London a
faculty authority permitting fnvestiga-
ton Of the coffin's contents, which she
says she believes consists merely of an
efhgy. with wax head and hands and a
roll of lead for the body.
The Druce vault in High Gate cemetery
has been surrounded by a strong stOckade
to keep the public away. The day and
hour set for the opening are kept strictly
secret. No one VIII be permitted to be
present except medical and legal repre-
sentatives of the Duke of Portland and

MEXICO TO THE RESCUE.
Willing to Take spain's Discharged
Soldiers OFF Her Hands.

New York. Dec. ia dispatch to
the Press from Washington says:
The Mexican government has submit
ted a colonization project to the Spanish
authorities in Havana, by which it pro-
poses not only to aid the Spanish gov
eminent but to give great assistance
as well to the Spanish soldiers who have
served in Cuban warfare and are soon
to evacuate Cuba The proposition OF
the Mexican government is to organize
bands among the Spanish soldiers and
provide them with free passage to Mex
leo, where necessary tools. seeds and
implements for agricultural work will
be furnished and in addition oxen and
small houses will be given to the immi-
grants and a certain tract of the public
lands of Mexico will be provided for
colonization purposes
The government in turn is to take a
lien upon the products and exact a re-
turn of 20 per cent a year until the sup
plies are paid for by the coIOnists, after
which the lands will become their owl
For those who do not care to accept this
proposition arra ngements have been
made by the government of Mexico to
supply a large number of Spanish SOL
diers with labor on the public works
and in the mines at the rate of SIS
month. The government will be able to
provide for several thousand and can
furnish suitable tracts of land to all
VINO desire to go to Mexico under the
conditions named.
To accomplish this project the govern
uent has sent a commissioner to Ha-
vana to confer with the Spanish au-
thorities and through the assistance of
Senior PalominO, the Mexican consul at
Havana, the project is being carried
forward with success The Spanish SOL
diers, who have received no salary for
months and even years, in many in
stances, see no hope for themselves in
returning to Spain, where they can not
get employment and where many of
them must Starve, as others have done,
and hundreds are ready to accept the
proposition of the Mexican government
as soon as they are allowed to do so.
The Spanish authorities in general are
in favor of the proposition, for the ex-
pense of transportation is thus saved,
as well as the necessity of caring in
some manner for the soldiers on their
return to their native country. It is
also cOntended that besides doing a
generous act the Mexican government
will itself be benefited, for its popula-
ton will be increased by persons of the
same race largely, and large sections of
the public lands will be utilized by a
substantial agricultural class.
