GENERAL MILES ON
EMBALMED BEEF.
He Stands by Former Statements,
but Says Use OfWOrd "PretenSe"
Was Unfortunate.

Offering TO swear that General Miles had
refused TO be interviewed, and that the
whole story was made up I'm the office
from the writer's general knowledge OF
the facts.
Notwithstanding this, when his final
answer was asked as 10 the authenticity
or the Interview, General Miles did not
specifically deny it. but merely said that
IL did not quite fairly represent his.
own opinion In the case. The same quail
fed denial as 10 The Journal interview OF
Dec. 20 was made, leaving the witness on
record as not assuming any response
bility for the newspapers statements.
but tacitly admitting that there was a
good deal in them with which he agreed.
Colonel Gillespie took a hand I'm the
inquiry when General Miles finished, de-
scriping the nauseatin6 qualities Of the
canned and Refrigerator beef.
Did you general. ever eat any OF this
beef" Colonel Gillespie asked.
II presume l did about the time we
were at Ponce sand General Miles with
some hesitation. Yes, 1 presume /

Then" said Colonel Gillespie, ut had
not such characteristic qualities as
would permit you to detect it OFF hand"
No. sir"
General Miles then left the witness
chair.
The trend Of questions put to the ether
witnesses Of the day indicated that. So
long as they agreed with General Miles
as 10 the quality OF the meat furnished
the troops In the field, the only criticism
OF their position the court had 10 make
was 10 ask why they had not taken some
official steps to have the matter remedied
at the time. IL every instance the reply
was that the circumstances in which
the army was placed ia a sickly foreign
country, with a large amount OF fighting
and great scarcity of transportation.
precluded the possibility of any such
action. In each case the questioning
was pushed no further on this line.

TIE wALDORFS.

Janet Waldorf and company
had another good house last night
for their second performance.
Only few seats downstairs were
vacant and there was a fair bal
cony. The boxes we're empty.
"As You Like 1t" was played in
manner to delight lovers of
Shakespeare. The fine passages
Astounding in the comedy were
brought out beautifully. Mr..
McVay as Jacques excelled thus

Miss Waldorf more than clinch.
ed the high favor she had gained
on her opening night here. Her
work as Rosalind was simply
without flaw. She truly lived the
character throughout.
The play was we'll sustained
from first to last by the entire
company. 1t is seldom that so
evenly strong a company is seen
far from the great theatrical cen
ters.
There is not space for review
OF last nights performance in de-
tail, but mention must be made OF
the appearance of Mrs. A. Dow
Currier, the able instructor and
manager, in the closing scenes.
AS Audrey she focused all eyes
upon herself by her artistic action,
poses and expression of counte-
nance, wherein she perfectly got
out of her own self into that of the
character played.
There is, when all is said, to be
repeated the fsult-fnding drawn
out by the first appearance of the
company, in respect to the deliv-
cry OF a few of the actors. The
too rapid utterance, with here and
there a provincial pronunciation
and accent, obscured and some
times obliterated the intelligibi-
lily of the lines. Several patrons
complained of this defect in the
lobby, refusing to accept the ex.
PLANTATION of a defender-.that GER
tain lines demanded fast talking.
EAST talking" is, however, only a
relative phrase. The rapid utter
ance that will be barely coherent
to the ears Of a large assembly
would be quite measured and de-
liberate in parlor. One of the
primary lessons in English elocu-
ton is that each word must be cut
of from every other.
Janet Waldorf and company
will give "Much Ado About Moth
ing" tomorrow evening. Satur-
lay there will be matinee, the
performance being "Pygmalion
and Galatea."
