field rations. and to that extent he is
responsible"
The report places the quantity OF
canned roast beef purchased for the
war by the commlssary department. at
6,Si7174 p1uuds, including $50, 900
pounds which was brought from Liver
pool and other English ports This
amount Is characterized as excessive,
and the commIssary general General
Eagan) Is severely criticised in several
parts Of the document on this score
One Of the severest rebukes is as fol-
lows; Considering the little use that
had been made of this beef in the reg
ular army the probability that the vol
unteers were entirely ignorant of 1t,
that its use as part of the field ra-
ton had never been sanctioned by the
president or secretary of war; the court
can but characterize the action of the
cammissary general of subsistence as
unwarranted and reckless In that he or
dered the purchase Of such enormous
quantities Of foed that was practically
untried and unknown and the court so
is no ground for any imputation what
ever of any other actuating motive on
the part of the commissary general,
than the earnest desire to procure the
best possible fo3d for the troops. The
court pronounces this act of the COM
missary general a colossal error for
which there Is no palliation"
The court finds that there was neg
lect in Cuba and to a less degree in
Porto Rico in delivering the refriger-
ated beef 1.-THE court" says the re-
port, does not wish to state the case
more strongly than to say that the and
ing appears to be warranted that too
much time was consumed in distribut-
ing this perlsha BILE article. The fault,
If there was any rested in the brigade
and higher commanding officers and their
commissares and quartermasters, but
the testimony is not so definite or spe-
cific as to warrant the naming by the
court of any particular officer. They
say that the refrigerated beef was at
first received with great satisfaction.
There is also criticism of the delay in
unlC aiding the refrigeratlng apparatus of

performed by you.
To-day the New Haven Symphony
orchestra stands before the eyes of the
world as an organization capable Of
playing the highest type of music; as
being well equipped and full of the
right spirit.
| Our city is, therefore, proud of this
great organization, and it has become
a matter Of necessity to the cause of
culture.
Yale university has gracefully smiled
upon our work. She has extended to
us many favors and such as are with
in her present sphere Our patrons are
persons Of highest culture, and such as
by their true appreciation have encour-
aged us, even when our work needed
stimulation.
The expenses connected with giving
symphony concerts, in keeping with
the requirements Of such critical but
lenent audiences, are great, and this is
the reason why we have to look for
some financial support outside Of our
regular income.
To those kind people who have in
varlably assisted the orchestra with
such substantial donations we owe
great gratitude, for without such help
our concerts could not have been CIV
en-
While the faculty, students and
friends Of the university have literally
patroni2ed our concerts it Is with some
regret I have to say, that our citizens
generally have so far not interested
themselves enough In our work If
some support could come from them
good would be done to the orchestra
while, in return, our work would, in
some measure, repay them and would,
at the same time, stimulate their love
for good music.
/ trust that by next year grea ter in
terest may be awakened in that direc-
ton.
AS we now suspend our work during
looking with hopeful eyes to the APP
proach Of the sixth season, and I trust
that beside the patronage we have had
so far an additional number of sub
scrlbers can be obtained; thus encour-
aging us to resume our work with still
greater love; that the seed we have
sown will bring good fruit so that we
can proceed with our purpose of CIV
ing people the best of music.

To the members of the New Haven
Symphony Orchestra:
Gentlemen: This Is the fifth anniver-
sary of the birth of the New Haven
Symphony orchestra, and I feel happy
to be with you in body and spirit
When / say l feel happy upon this &C.
casion. / mean simply to imply that
considering the extreme difficulties that
are offered to body Of musicians when
they are engaged In forming an orches-
ira like the one we are representing, we
are still in being.
While such undertakings offer many
obstacles in large cities like New York,
Philadelphia, Buffalo, and Pittsburg,
they are greatly increased when start
ed in smaller places and especially those
the size of ours. 1t is a matter Of fact
that orchestras in large cities are form
ed, but also die before they can accom-
plsh anything of Importance.
We here in little New Haven, can re-
late another story. While we began in
a small ara unpretenti9us way, we have
proven to the public and to ourselves
that we meant business when we first
assembled for the purpose of forming
an orchestra. 1t was not our musical
ability-nor can we call it mercenary
purpose-that gave life to our enter
prise No, my good friends, it was
simply the right spirit that way under
lying our aim; our love for the heaven
ly art of music. 1T was the full con-
viction and endeavor of each individ-
ual member to. do his duty in cultivat-
ing orchestral music of the highest or
der here in our very midst.
This spirit of perseverance; this de-
votion to the work in hand has guided
and preserved the orchestra. This is
indeed great triumph, and | extend
to you my good fellow musicians, my
heartiest congratulations
During our five years. existance we
have given over thirty great concerts,
and have assembled over 200 times, in |

tons set out by the president, the court

or stale.
THAT the refrigerated beef furnished
the army was not doctored or treated
with any other agency than cold air.
THAT the meat purchased for the
army was the meat of commerce; that
both kinds, refrigerated and canned,

METHUEN'S HARD FIGHT.
SOME DETAILS OF MODDER
RIVER BATTLE LEA RNED.
eoFRS HELD BOTH BANKS AND AN
ISLAND IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE STREAM-LITTLE NEWS
FROM NATAL.
fpY CABLE TO THE TRIBUNE.

Yordon Dec T. 6 q. m-Once again there Is
r-eat lack Of news from South Africa. and
,,,aentlv momentous events are impending.
"rhe Mall stands alone in providing its read
arc with some particulars Of the battle Of Mod
ssr River 1t appears that the Beers were on
,o,b sides Of the river and ntrenched on the
,Ad thereof This presumably means they occu-
MED the island in the middle Of the stream.
The island is about couple of hundred yards
below the railway bridge. perhaps a couple OF
acres in extent. has deep. shelving banks, is
fr,nged with bushes, and here end there are
clumps Of willow trees 1t would form a very
strong natural intrenchment. and the dislodging
Of the Beers from both banks must have en-
tailed hard fight.
According TO The Mail" Lord Methuen drove
the Beers out of their position the south side
OF the river, forced them across the stream and
then cleared them from the other side. until
they were driven off in full retreat Lord
Methuen has a large force firmly estab-
lshed on the northern bank.
The dispatch from The Mails" correspondent
was telegraphed from Belmont, and this may
probably indicate that no newspaper was rep
resented directly at the battle. At any mo-
ment now news may come to hand that an
engagement has been fought at Spytfontein.
General Methuen has been strongly reinforced
and. making all deductions for his losses and
for troops left to protect the bridge across the
Modder he has probably much stronger force
row than when at Belmont
No time has been lost by the Beers in making
their position at spytfontein as secure as posi-
bic They have dug trenches and no doubt
have their gun positions protected by earth
works.
From Natal the report OF most Importance is
that Of the blowing up Of the Coenso bridge
on November 2s 1t is evident that the last Of
the Beers are across the Tugela, and General
Joubert means to oppose from the northern side
its passage by the British. l. \. +.

entire British force now in the field. estimated
by Colonel Brunker, Is 1S,JO0 men, with la
guns exclusive OF naval brigades, colonial con-
tlngents and local forces, which range between
10000 and 25OO0 men. The Fifth and Sixth

strength OF the army by 10000 men. and there
are additional forces OF cavalry and artillery

LITTLE PROSPECT OF Br.ooDsHED.

LITTLE PROSPECT OF BLooDsHED.
tBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
Frankfort, Ky, Dec. 3.-The situation here to-
night is grave but quiet Several score OF noun
taineers are here. who say they will see that
Justice is done Taylor and other Republican
candidates. Many OF them are here as wit
nesses before the State Commission and they
will also be ready to fight II necessary. The
Goebel men are not saying much. They declare
that all they want is the law carried out. They
contend that the election in Louisville. where
the troops were present, illegal, and that
In the mountains where tissue paper ballots
were used the election also was Illegal. They
believe the State Board will throw these coun-
ties out and this will elect Goebel.
One rumor tonight is that the Goebel men
depend on the Boards meeting and then ed-
journing from day to day, and not giving out
the certificate until the night before the 18th,
the day for Inauguration, when they will give
the certificate to Goebel, and that he Will be
sworn In by a magistrate, and will then demand
OF Bradley the keys OF the Governors office. II
Bradley refuses as he will. then the case Will
be taken to the Legislature. and 1t will there be
decided to unseat Bradley and give Goebel the
place to which he has been declared elected.
Another rumor tonight is that there will be
no effort on the part Of Goebels friends to offer
any armed resistance. The Republicans present
will make such show of force that the Elec-
tion Commissioners will decide that they cannot
hold session, and will adjourn without issuing
a certificate to either Goebel or Taylor, thus
throwing the contest directly into the Legislat-
ure. This rumor has some foundation, and II
appears TO be the most feasible plan that could
be adopted by Goebels lieutenants.
The prospect for bloodshed seems at this writ
Ing rather remote although the tension Is high
and the anti-Goebel men seem determined that
Goebel shall not be Governor.

Vile, Pineville London. Paintsve and Corbin.
will start for Frankfort at midnight In citizens

against Fournier He was later released on

said Illach had acted like a 'rufan' that the
