Issued to Soldiers.

Washington. Jan. Cool. Henry Sharp
of the commissary department, who
served at Camp Thomas and in Porto
Rico during the war, was before the war
Investigating commission, today. He sad
that he had made the contract with Mel
son Morris & Co. for beef at Camp
Thomas. and had superintendent the issue
and inspection of the refrigerator beer in
Porto Rico. He said that the quality of
fresh beef issued at Camp Thomas was
equal to any he had ever seen in the
army.
He said he had inspected one vessel of
refrigerated beef at Arroyo, Porto RICO
and that the beef was the wonder and
admiration of all the natives and foreign
residents. none of whom mad ever seen
such good beef. The native cattle in
Porto Rico, he said. were infinitely infe-
ror to the American refrigerator beef.
He knew of no chemically preserved
meat issued to the army and he COM
mended all the American beef given our
troops i'm Porto Rico. Col. Sharp thought
the loss of the spoiled beef which mas
been in question fell to the CONTRACTOR
and not to the government. Col: Sharp
said that his order of preference for beef
would be refrigerated beef first, canned
second, and beef on the hoof third.
