Subsistence Departm ent-COoking
British Army Rations-PreS-
sure of Dealers.

WASHINGTON, December 1S.-Com-
missarv-General Eagan OF the War De- /
partment continued his testimony be
fore the War Investigating Committee
today. He urged that the Subsistence
Department should control the trans
portation OF all its 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 ana
furnish bake ovens, mess equipment,
etc. which were much needed. He
thought the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
deDartment was Overburdened with du-
ties innumerable.
| He pointed out that the British army
was not as well fed by any means as
our own, and that the ratiOns already
provided the United States soldiers are
satisfactory, with the possible addition
of dried fruits. He spoke OF the con-
slant and urgent opportunities, Whlcn,
he said, sometimes amounted TO perse-
cution. that various articles of food be
added to the regular rationS. These i'm
portunities were backed by strong sup
known Senator, whose name he with
held, he said, had proposed and in
sisted on the article being added, which
he claimed would cost only about a
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 men in such quantities
as the commanding officer may decide
to be best, and in the interest OF the
men he would be willing to incur the
hostility of the blue ribbon societies
Referring to a complaint of the beef
given the men in Porto Rico at the out
set of that campaign, General Eagar
said the responsibility rested on Other
shoulders than his own; that he haC
purchased the best beef, but aftel
the contract was entered into and thu
beef was aboard the ships and sen
from Newport News General Miles haC
telegraphed him that he could get tn
. beef on the island. Consequently tn.
= beef he shipped remained on the ships
except for a small amount which wa
brought back to New York and throw
overheard. The beef, OF fine quality
was there, he said, and should hav
been taken.
mo one" he said, with any sens
could hesitate to favor refrigeratO
beef as against native beef
. He said he had now sent a refrigera
8 tor plant to San Juan.
o Referring to the ignorance of tn
volunteer army as to rations, Genera
Eagan said there should be one com
missary-sergeant with each regimen
to instruct the others as to the use an
Ia extent of ratiOnS.
