II. Hill. Assistant Secretary OF the w
Investigating Commission, who ser
in the District Of Columbia Volunteers
first sergeant and acting quartermaster
sergeant, was the only witness before
the commission to-day.
Colonel DENLY, who presided. questioned
the witness regarding the mooted point
of the canned beef furnished the yolun-
tiers. Mr.. Hill made light OF the COM
plants made by the men, and stated that
thew came from those who would COM
plain against anything. He said the
health. OF his company was excellent AT
Tampa. and he credited II largely to the
tree use OF lemonade. The canned beer
first furnished the men, he said. was
lean. dry, and hard. lacking lutriment,
though later II was considerably I'M
sproved. He believed the canned beef,
which he explained was canned Just after
being boiled, was perfectly III To eat,
though once In a while he would receive
a can that was spoiled and smelled badly.
He knew a large lot OF spoiled canned
beef had been found at Tampa, BEFORE MS
company sailed for Cuba. The men
seemd 10 like the canned beef, he said,
but later became surfeted with H. the
REFRIGERATED fresh beef. he said. had no
evidence OF chemical treatment, and nad
n natural appearance. The trouble with
the refrigerated beef, he thought, was
that the men overfed themselves, ana at
ate IL half-cooked.

VIII Avert War.
NEW YORK, April 9.-The World
publishes a copyrighted special from
Madrid on Thursday night. by way Of
Bayonne, France, which says: The
ambassadors of the five great powers,
France, Russia, Italy, Germany and
Austria, have automatically informed
the Government of Spain that war with
the United States can only be averted
by Spain yielding. There is no reason
to believe that the powers made extra
ordinary propositions TO Spain. They
have said in effect that if she would
make such concessions to the United
States as they. believe to be necessary
the powers would guarantee her
against war, both external and inter-
nal
The powers could delegate one of
their own number, Austria, whose
throne is so closely allied with Spain.
the duty to defend Spain against any
international foes that might arise, as
a menace to the dynasty, as a result Of
the demand of the United States. Aus
trian troops would have behind them
the allied moral and physical forces of
Europe. The Papa1 Nuncio who has
been repeatedly at the palace during
the past "a hours, is believed to be in
sympathy with this program.
