MILES REVIEWS HIS ATTACK.
Says He Has Evi"ence that Beef Was Pre-
pared with Chemicals.

pared with Chemicals.
Washington. d. c.. Feb. 1.-General
Nelson a. Miles gave out statement
TO night, after denying several pub
lished interviews attributed to him.
He prefaced his statement by say
ing:
Il have been most freely quoted
without authority from me or without
any utterance on my part. Ii has been
source of great annoyance to me-
His statement is as follows:
ION the Goth of last September l is
sued an order to regimental command
ers to report to me concerning the beef
which had been issued to their men.
Al the time that l went before the
war board Investigating commission
Lad only received reports from four
teen of the commanders. Now | have
thirty reports. They all tell the same
story.
THE evidence proves the truth of
the statements | have made. In ad-
dition to the reports of the regmental
commanders, | have n great mass of
evidence consisting of communion
rions. atfidavits. etc. from officers, sol
diers and civilians.
Every part of the country has CON
tributed TO the mass of correspondence
WHICH 1 nave received III reference to
the beef served to our soldiers. and the
evidence is all corroborative of what
| have said. The great publicity which
the press has given to the matter has
brought all the correspondence of
which | speak upon me.
II have overwhelming evidence that
the embalmed beef was treated with
chemicals in order to preserve it. I
have aiiidavts from men who saw the
beef undergoing the treatment or en-
balming process.
Now. as to the canned roast beef.
that was different from embalmed
beef. The canned roast beef was the
beef after the extract had been boiled
out of it.
You have seen the advertisements.
Beef Extract; one pound contains the
substance of from -four to five pounds
of prime beef? Well this is the beef
after the extract has been taken from
