"THE AMERICAN BOY"
PROJECT FAILED
But Agitation to Have a Battleship

GENERAL MILES
AND BAD BEEF
Depends on Testimony
of Enlisted Men
TO PROVE HIS CHARGES
BELIEVES THAT HE AND NOT
THE MEAT rs MADE ISSUE.
The Commanding Officer of the Army
May Decide to Challenge the I'm
partiality of Judge Advo-
cate Davis.
BELIEVES THAT HE AND NOT
THE MEAT rs MADE ISSUE.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, March 5.-The Wash
1ngton correspondent of the Herald
teiegraphs: Upon the men who ate
the beef"-enlisted regulars and volun-
teer officers and men-General Miles is
relying to prove the allegations he made
that the army food supply was re-
sponsible for the illness among soldiers
during the war with Spain. He read
with equanimity reports of the testi-
mony before the court of inquiry of
commanding and commissary officers
that they had heard no complaints from
their men and that "the food was bet
ter than most of them had before en-
tering the army because he believed
their motives were self-evident.
He refused at first to admit his con-
viction that the administration was
trying to bolster up the War Investi-
eating Committees report that he was
derelict in performing his duty, in order
eventually to open way to depose him
from command of the army. But he
was led, it appears, to conclude that
he and not bad beef was issue joined"
in the case when the court allowed the
extraordinary statements by Colonel
Woodruff, assistant cOmmisSary gen.
eral, to go unchallenged, and when the
court put OlilCSTS u
the test of mixed-up dishes of roast
beef. General Miles has openly called
this a deliberate effort to discredit his
honest witnesses.
An effort has been made to show that
the complaints of bad rations issued to
the men on the Yale, on which General
Miles went to Porto Rico, were made
to him on shipboard, and that he
neither reported nor needed them. The
court of inquiry thinks this vital sup
port of the charge against Miles of
neglect of duty.
General Miles will show when recalled
that he knew there was rotten meat
and short rations on board, and that
he personally secured the use of the
ships galleys for the men, SO that they
could cook their bacon and warm their
tomato stew.
Evidence as to the chemical treat
ment of refrigerated beef will be sub
mitted at the last sessions of the Court
Of Inquiry. 1t promises to be convin-
cling.
1t is asserted that General Miles may
be led to challenge the impartiality of
Judge Advocate Davis, if he persists in
his apparent disposition to let evidence
unfavorable to any of the food supply
except canned roast beef get on record.
Friends of Miles recall that Colonel
Davis wrote a report several years ago
adverse to the bill to make General
Miles a lieutenant general.
