New York, March 25.-The army court
of inquiry investigating the charges
made by General Miles that the beef
furnished the soldiers in the Cuban and
Porto Rican campaigns was unfit for
use, convened in this city to-day.

ness examined in this city. He told of
/ complaints of the canned roast beef while

closed. The court adjourned to Gov
