PLENTY OF EVIDENCE
THAT BEEF WAS BAD

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-The Washing
ton correspondent Of the Herald tele-
graphs: Reports of sixty three officers
representing more than a dozen regi-
ments, scores of companies and thou
sands of soldiers were tonight laid
before the special investigating COM
mittee, furnishing overwhelming proof
that the men in the army were made
the victims of the outrageous beef scan
dals. Major and brigadier generals,
colonies, majors, captains, neutenants,
and members of the hospital and medi-
cal staffs join in declaring it was totally
unfit for use. Corned beef escapes with
out great censure, but canned roast
beef and the so-called fresh beef with
which soldiers were served is denounced
without exception.
According to the evidence placed in
the hands Of the committee the beef
was unfit for use. 1t was tasteless. and
nauseating. All of 1t was stringy, de-
void of nourishment and none Of the
soldiers would eat 1t except from ex-
treme necessity and many Of those who
did were made i'll thereby.
Neither the climate nor transporta-
ton, according to to-day's evidence,
can be held responsible for the quality
or condition of the beef served to the
army. The testimony of sixty three Of
ficers shows it was uniformly bad in
Cuba, Porto Rico, at Southern camps
in this country, and at Montauk Point.

Wounded Japanese Declares His AS

WOODLAND, Jan. PA shooting af-
fray occurred on the Hershey farm, near
Blacks last night, and some rather Pc
culiar circumstances are connected with
the case. A Japanese known as Kishmoto
was seriously wounded, and, according to
the story told by his countrymen, the
bullet was fired from the pistol of a rob-
ber. Ten Japanese, under the charge of
a boss named K. Hazaino, are living on
the place, engaged in pruning the or

tall man came to their quarters at about
midnight. They were all asleep except
pened to be outside of the building at
that time.
The unknown prowler proceeded to ran
sack the belongings of the Japanese, and
succeeded in obtaining about 800 from
the inmates of the house, who were too
badly frightened to make any resistance
Just as the robber was about to leave
the house Kishmoto, who had been out
in the orchard. entered the building and
the robber shot him. Great excitement
making his escape with the booty
The Japanese say that the robber was
a tall man and had a. scar under the left
eye. He disappeared in a southerly di-
rection from the place where the shoot
ing occurred.
While there is nothing glaringly defec-
tive about the Japs' story, there is
considerable doubt expressed about the
alleged robbery. Some think that the
men quarreled among themselves, during

views as to such language as he had
first heard and he had turned away and
did not hear this sentence. The witness
recalled a remark made by the Presi-
dent in regard to the immunity of wit
nesses. The President had said, in sub
stance, that any person who should
come before the commission to give evil
dence should receive immunity from the
action of any higher authority. 1t was
the understanding of the commission
that this immunity extended only to
legitimate testimony that could be re-
ceived by any tribunal. No written
statement or order as to the immunity
of witnesses, as far as he knew, had
ever been made. General Miles had ap-
peared before the commission some
days before General Eagan was heard.
He had objected to being sworn and
his statement had been received with
out his taking the oath. General Miles
was the only witness, SO far as he re-
called, who had objected to taking the
oath, although one witness in New
York had refused to swear that he
would tell the whole truth. Other wit
nesses had preferred to affirm. The
commission had no hard and fast rule
in regard to the matter of the oath.
The judge advocate then read at some
length from General Miles testimony
before the War Investigating Commits
sion which called forth the objection
able language in General Eagan's state
ment.
At the conclusion of the reading of
General Miles statement Judge Worth
ington read at length from General
Eagans revised testimony before the

o'clock the court adjourned until 10

GILLESPIE is STILL
AMONG THE MISSING
Nevada Legislator Who Disappeared
Before the Vote for Senator
Was Taken

CARSON, New, Jan. z5.-The Legisla-
ture met to-day in joint session at II
o'clock to read the journals of both
houses and give the vote of the respective
houses At the conclusion of the reading
of the journal Senator Comins made a
motion to cast ballots to confirm the cleo
ton of the day before. This brought out
both forces in arms and argument was in
dulged in. The President finally declared
the motion out of order and then decided
that w. NJ. Stewart was the choice of the
two houses and was duly elected United
States Senator.
In the Senate in the afternoon things
warmed up. The contest between Boyle
and Mccullough came up and Senators
Denton and Comins grew personal, calling
each other everything but gentlemen. The
seat contested by Lord VS.. Conboie was
decided in Lords favor.
The talk of the House is the scandal re-
garding the disappearance of Assembly
man Gillespie. When the vote was called
yesterday he was absent and he has not
been located yet. A committee will meet
to investigate, and it is liable to bring
others into the muddle.
Senator Stewart will give reception at
his home in this city on Saturday evening
He probably will leave for Washington on
Sunday night.
