BAD BEEF.

Statement.

Washington, Jan. S.-Commissary
General Eagan OF the army today made
public letter from Lieut. Col. A. L.
Smith of the subsistence department,
stonohing the use of refrigerated beef
furnished to troops in Porto Rico from
that landed at Ponce. In this letter,
Col. Smith says in part:
Among others to whom the refrig-
Grated beef was issued, 1 remember the
following officers as having spoken of
the immense superiority of it. over the
native beef. Mai. G. p Birmingham,
Surgeon of the general hospital, Capt
I:vine. Eleventh infantry. who was
acting as commissary for the steam

handing cavalry squadron. There were
no preparations made for the reoeiv-
Ing or taking care of the beef on shore
1t had to be unloaded by lighters and

subjected to the worst possible usage
In handling. 1t was frequently IL to
IL hours off the vessel before being is
sued. One issue to Capt. Hoppin was
over "a hours in the storehouse.
Col. Smith also has the following to
say about rations for the soldiers. Il
further beg to call your attention to
the fact that, with the exception of
soap and candles for two or three days,
there was never a time after my arri-
val when the main StorehouSe at Ponce
could not issue the complete ration.
fresh vegetables not included; these
spoiled SO rapidly that it was deemed
best to commute the ration of them for
several weeks and give the troops the
money value to buy other articles.
Coarse salt was issued in lieu of fine
on one or two occasions.
'Commissary stores had been so sys-
tematically loaded and stored at Ponce
that it was hard to tell what articles
were on hand in the island in suffi-
Client quantity to provide for the wants
! of the soldiers.
i further beg to call your attention
to the receipts filed with my July and
August returns in your office from the
commissary office of each artillery,
cavalry and infantry command which
left Port Tampa for Porto Rico up to
august 16 with sixty days rations.
These receipts will show that complete
rations were furnished to every vessel
with the exception of a small portion of
the fresh vegetables, that it was we'll
known could not keep sixty days.
Il further state that about 10 a. M,
Oct. 10, on taking leave of Gen Henry,
commanding United States troops at
Ponce, he requested me among other
things to say to the honorable secretary
of war on my arrival in Washington,
that the rations furnished to the troops
in Porto Rico were excellent in quail
ity."
Col. Smith was on duty at Ponce
from August % until October II, when
he was ordered to Havana.

HAD A ROUGH PASSAGE.
British Steamer Anglican Took the Hestia
in Tow.

st. johns, N. f.. Jan. S.-The British
steamer Anglican, 1e days out from Lon
don for Boston, arrived here today,
towing the British steamer Hestia, "a
days out from Glasgow, in ballast for
Baltimore, The Hestia encountered
terrific weather crossing the Atlantic,
and on Sunday last her tail shaft broke.
Shortly afterward, the Anglican came
alongside. stood by her for three days
and nights, and then took her in tow,
reaching this port after four days. The
Hestia was constantly swept by heavy
seas, and her upper works were almost
battered to pieces.
When the steamers anchored in the
harbor today, a severe gale was blow
ing. The Hestia drifted ashore on the
south side of the harbor, striking stern
on, in which position she still lies. The
Anglican endeavored to tow her off but
she also struck, though after hard eff
forts she got off. The gale is still
raging, accompanied by binding
snow storm. 1t is feared shipping in
the harbor may suffer severely during
the night.
