cLAYToN-BULwER TREATY.
Great Britain Willing That United States
Should Hold Nicaragua Canal.

London, Dec. 23.-There seems to be
little doubt that Great Britain will
agree to abrogate the Clayton Bulwer
treaty. The temper of the cabinet and
public opinion, which largely influences
the governments policy. point to such
action, though no definite understand
ing with the United States has yet
been reached. Great Britain desires
that the Nicaragua canal be construct
ed, and is willing that the United
States should control it if the United
States guarantees its neutrality and
safeguards British interests.
The reports from Washington that
the British ambassador Sir Julian
Pauncefote, has been instructed to ne
gotiate the abrogation of the treaty.
are incorrect though it is likely he will
soon receive instructions to that eff
feet.
The impression here is that the Brit
ish foreign office and the United States
charge d'affaires Henry White, in
cidental to his visits to cabinet minis
tiers, viii arrange the basis of action
Mr.. White spent part of the week with
the marquis of Salisbury at Hatfield

EMBALuED BEEF.

Gen. Miles is working the "em-
banned beef" episode for ali it is
worth, and the appearances indicate
that he has a good case to work. He
cannot escape criticism for assuming
at various times an attitude of antag-
onism to the secretary of war and the
adjutant general of the army but at
least equal blame attaches to those Of
ficials. It is a well understood fact that
the influence of the war department
was from the first unaccountably hos
tile both to Gen. Miles and to Gen.
Merritt, and if the latter has ESCAPED
unpleasant notoriety in this respect
during the latter months of the war, the
fact is to be attributed chiefly to the
fact of his removal to the Philippines,
where he was to an unusual degree de-
pendent upon his own unaided exer-
tons and where he was protected from
interference and annoyance from
Washington It is not to be forgotten,
that the first marked example of insub-
ordination lit was so called at the time)
was Gen. Merritt's protest against the
troops assigned him from Washington
for his Philippine expedition. So many
things have gone wrong under the ad-
ministration Of the war department,
that whenever a general speaks in crit
icism of actions or policies, there is a
fair presumption that the general in
the field is right and the administrative
corps wrong. The war department may
have explanations and excuses, but
these do not annihilate the facts them
selves

UNFIT FOR FOOD.
of Chemicals Respon-
sible for Much Sickness.

Cincinnati, Dec. 2S.-Gen. Miles has
returned to Washington, after being
the guest of honor here last night at
the New England banquet. The Com
mercial Tribune has the following in
terview 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,, Gen. Miles
said:
My suspicious were aroused several
months ago, and I at once instituted
an investigation into the matter OF
sending beef to the army in the West
Indies. The reference in my testimony
Of Wednesday relating to 337 tons OF
refrigerated beef and 1850 pounds OF
canned fresh beef, which was unfit for
food, is only an item. This quantity
was sent to one town in Porto Rico
alone. How much more was sent IA
Porto Rico I do not know"
How was the beef supply for the
army in Cuba?a
1T was just as bad. The conditions
there We're no better than they were in
Porto Rico, as / indicated in my testi
mony."
How about rations before the army
embarked? Was the supply no better
oetore the transports sailed than after
the army was established in Cuba 2"
1T was the same at Tampa and the
same at Jacksonville"
WIN you give a little more light as
to what you mean by this assertion be-
fore the war commission Wednes-
day."
Gen. Miles had suggested that the
food was sent to his large army under
pretence of an experiment"
Il think" continued Gen. Miles
that that sentence is sufficiently plain,
Pretence' is the precise term to use,
1t is absurd to pretend that these enor-
nous quantities of beef were sent to
an entire army simply as an expert
ment. To expect that the beef can be
exposed to a tropical sun for go hours
without notifying is out of the ques-
ton"
How about the chemicals used in
preparing this beef?"
AS | stated in my testimony. I be-
lieve that the action of these chemicals
was largely responsible for the sick
ness in the army. I have medical au-
thority for this statement, and [ believe
1t TO be true
How far along has your own inves-
tlgauon into this subject progressed %
IL began several months ago. | har e
the testimony of a large number of Off
GERS and men upon this matter some of
which | gave in my testimony before
the commission. My inquiry is still in
progress, and some of the most i'm
poHiant information have received. has
been acquired in the last few days.
nat channel will this investigation
take upon its conclusion?"
will not discuss that. Tt is nv dutv
to investigate any wrong existing in the
army and that am now doing in the
regular military manner. me WORK
is not completed yet, and until it is
done, | will have nothing more to add
to the statement made before the com
mission
What was the matter with the
tents?'
There were not enough of them
