fact, than any beef killed on the spot.
Witness corroborated the testimony OF
Maj. Duncan Harrison, that after the men
who disiikeu The appearance or the resrlg-
Grated beef had had O short experience
with the meat on the hcof. they were glad
To get back 20 the An erican meat. Col.
css,ood cited one instance where a board
OF survey of the Second United States vol
unteers had condemned a lot OF beef and
reported Il rotten. The contractor protest
ed 70 Col. Osgood that the refrigerator beef
was good and brough; a steak out from one
OF the condemned quarters. The steak was
kept iwenty-four hours longer off the Ice
and then served To the members o! the
board that had condemned IL. They did
not know the antecedents Of the meat and
PRONOUNCED It fine.
Gen. Beaver said: Col. osgood, II has
been alleged before this commission, not in
sworn testimony, and OF in a way, per-
haps, to demand any great attention. but
eth II has been stated, that beef sent 10
Santiago was prepared in some way with
chemicals TO preserve IL. Can you tell US
anything on that head or why any one
should use chemicals on meat when II was
apparently so easy to preserve ii in re-
frigerators?"
Yes, / can tell You good deal about
that. The meat treated In that way was
not the property OF the government or any
OF our contractors. ! was aboard the Co
nissary. showed me four quarters OF beef

process beef 1t was prepared at the re-
quest OF an inventor named Powell. who
claimed that he had discovered chemical
preparation that would keep meat in hot
climate without ice. Ii was purely a PR
vate experiment. and was not issued TO the
troops. looked at 1t and it seemed TO be
perfectly good. There was no mould on
1t. al on the refrigerator beef and ii had
no smell. l believe Col. Weston tasted some
OF il. So far as know he was the only
officer who tasted It."
Witness did not say what Col. Weston
thought Of the process beef. He continued:
Il think Col. DAILY saw this meat, and prob
ably the fact that this beef was there gave
the start to all this talk OF chemically pre-
pared beef. II was purely a private expert
ment, and the government had nothing 20
do with TT
In connection with Col. Osgood's explana-
ton OF the process beer experiment, IL
can be stated that the inventor of the
chemical preservasive brought the matter
10 the attention of the war department
before the outbreak OF war and offered TO
sell the process to the government II was
considered by the commanding general.

ment and the war department declined to
accept the scheme.

EX-PRESIDENT CLEVELAND
is VERY SARCASTIC.
Adopts q New Method of Expressio
Of His Disappr0val OF Annexa-
ton of the PhfIiDpiueS,

PRINCETON, y. j.. Jan. Eek Prest-
dent Cleveland. in reply To the request o.
a representative OF the Associated Press
for an expression on the question Of ex-
panslon- said.
II do not care 10 repeat my views con-
cern4Eg the prevailing epidemic Of I'm
reriaiixm and territorial expansion. AS
Stunning, however. that my ideas on the
subject are antiQuated and nnsulted to
these progressive days, II 10 a matter OF
surprise 20 me that the refusal OF certain
natives OF our new possessions to acquieSce
in the beneflciency OF subieetiag them TO
our control and management should In the
least disturb our exparSionists. This
phase of the situation ought not to have
been unantieipated nor the incidents nat
uraIiy growing out of II overlooked. The
remedy is obvious and simple. The mis-
guided Inhabitants of our new territory,
who prefer something different from the
plan FOR their control which we propose,
or oppose our designs In their behalf,
should be slaughtered The killing Of ma
lives has been feature OF expansion since
expansion began and or imperiaiistic en-
thusiasm should not lie checked by the
prospective necessity OF destroying n few
thousand or a few hundred thousand
Filipiaos. This should only be regarded
as one stage in q transce1dentaiiy great
movement, a mere incident In It's progress
OF course some unprep pared souls would
then be lost before we had the opportunity
OF Outstanding them but surely those OF
our clergyu1er who have done so much 10
encourage expansion could manage that
difficulty.
