SOMETHING LIKE CARBON.
Capt warburton So Characteristics Some
Beef that was Issued Co Soldiers
Near Ponce, Porto Rico.

Washington, Jan. 24.-The board or
survey appointed by Secretary Alger
to pass upon the question of proper
condemnation of large quantity of
beef destined for the troops in Porto
Rico, has received from Capt. Barclay
III. Warburton of the Pennsylvania
volunteer battalion of artillery, :
sworn statement of the condition of
the refrigerated beef on board the
transport Manitoba, which transport
was at Ponce from August 10 to 25. In
the course of this statement Capt
Warburtonssays:
Was Not Good Nor Was 1t Fit for Issue
81 ate of the beef which the Mani
toba brought TO Porto Rico. 1t was
served to the officers mess on the
United States transport Mississippi,
which brought my command back to
New York, leaving Ponce, Porto Rico
September 5, andarriving in New York
September 10, 1898. When say / ate
the meat must qualify my statement
by saying that tried to eat the meat.
1t was so bad that it was impossible
to swallow it. In my opinion the
meat was not good nor was it tit for
Issue.
Thought it Due to - Lack of Proper Re-
frigerating Facilities.
ST had no idea that this meat had
been subjected to any chemical pro-
cess, but believed the beef to have de-
composed on account of the lack of
proper refrigerating facilities caused
by the clogging of the machinery used
for that purpose on the Manitoba. l
was informed by Capt. Gates, who was
then in command of the Manitoba.
that said machinery had been clogged
with sand as a result of our having
run ashore, which necessitated the re-
versing of the screw which threw sand
into the water pumps.
An Answer In General.
I'm reply to your request to give
the board any evidence or information
in my possession or knowledge, my
answer in general is that all the beef
issued to my battalion was bad and
had TO be buried Immediately upon de-
livery at our camp, which was about
two miles beyond Ponce, at a place
called Banos la Quintanu, which neces-
STATED its transportation, / should say,
a distance of six miles from the COM
missary depot, which was at Playa.
On the day in question Private Hack,
of light battery c, Pennsylvania vol
unteer artillery, was sent for an issue
of beef which his captain had been no.
titled would be issued on the morning
on which he was sent.
Noticed n Most Terrible Odor.
On his return met the wagon, and
while it was yet some hundred and
fifty yards from me, noticed the most
terrible orlor, which seemed 20 me to
smell something like carrion. ! was
mounted, and when / got alongside of
the wagon ] looked into it and saw the
meat which had been issued to him
for light battery c, Pennsylvania vol
unteer artillery. 1t looked white,
about the color of the belly of a
founder which had been covered with
a green slim. / instructed him TO pre-
sent my compliments to his command
ing officer, Lieut.. Bean, with in
stuctions to have the same buried i'm
mediately upon it's arrival at camp"
Capt. Warburton gives the names of
some witnesses whose testimony may
be of value.
