NEITHER WILL 1T
CENSURE HIM
Findings Will Probably be the Effect
That the Fresh Beef Was not
Chemically Treated, but that
Grounds for Suspician That it Was
So Treated Existed.

New YORK, April PA special to the
Herald from Washington says: General
Miles will not altogether be sustained by
the findings of the beef court of inquiry,
if the general opinion about the war de-
partment as to what these findings will
be is correct. 1t is understood the court
will complete it's work and forward it's
final report to the secretary of war some
time next week, and although no authori-
tative statement as to the finding can be
made, such information as can be gath
cred tends to indicate that the report
will not completely sustain all the alle-
cations made by Major-General Miles,
nor will it completely dismiss them.
By the order convening it. the court
was directed to investigate allegation
made by General Miles as to the unfit
ness for issue of certain articles of food
furnished to the troops in the field in
Cuba and Porto Rica and to submit with
its findings of fact such recommendations
as to further proceedings as must seem
to be warranted by the fact developed.
The opponents of General Miles made
no secret of the fact that il was expected
that the court would find the allegations
ofGeneral Miles entirely without founda-
tion, and would recommend that pro-
ceedlngs be instituted against him.
These expectations will not be realized,
and the probability is that the court
will not recommend any further proceed
ings either General Miles or any one
else.
Among officers of the army it is be-
Iieved that the findings will be that the
charge made by General Miles that the
refrigerated beef was treated with chemi-
cles has not been proved, though there
was some ground for a reasonable sus-
picion, and that some of it has been SO
treated; that the canned beef was good
when purchased, but that it spoiled
easily in the climate of Cuba and Porto
Rico, and that it was not suitable for
issue as the main part of the meat ration
to troops engaged in field operations in
those islands.
1t is probable that the court will make
recommendations as to the best method
of supplying the army with fresh meat
in the future, and it may advise that
special Investigations into this question
be made to the commissary department.

ing received bys the Associated Press
from Washington.
In relation to the appointment of ex-
Governor Lord to the Office of minister
to Persia, and his declination, Hon.
Joseph Simon, United States senator
form Oregon, who is a warm personal
friend or Mr.. Lord, this morning said:
''The statement that Ex-Governor
Lord was an applicant for the Peruvian
mission or any other diplomatic mission
is not true. The president, recognizing
Ex-Governor Lords ability and devotion
to party, felt kindly disposed to him and
anxious to appoint him to some good
position when the opportunity should
present itself. 1t appears that the Per-
itself to the president, and this he tend
cred to Mr.. Lord, not knowing, of course,
whether it would be accepted or not.
Mr.. Lord has seen fit to decline this post
of honor, and that is about all there is
to it.
SIN regard to the statement that ex-
Governor Lord was an applicant for the
mission to Peru, know that he was not.
The first private dispatch from Washing
ton announced that the post rendered ex-
Governor Lord was the mission to Peru.
This was evidently mistake in trans
mission. Ex-Governor Lord might have
accepted this Office, and might not.
This mission is a better one from fnan-
cial point of view than the ministry to
Persia, and. besides, would have been
better suited to Mr.. Lord by reason of
being SO closely identified with our own
republic. But Mr.. Lord has never been
an applicant for any diplomatic posi-
tion."

SPANIARDS MAY
HAVE SHOT THEM
Fate of Lieutenant GilmOre's Party
Remains Mystery.

New York, April 21.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Manila says: Admiral
Dewey, in an interview today, said the
expedition of the gunboat yorktown to
Baler was purely to rescue the Spanish
soldiers and privates who are being be-
seiged in church there. The soldiers
refused to surrender when expected to
lay down their arms by General Rios at
the end of the Paris peace conference.
Admiral Dewey said he did not know
what had become of Lieutenant Gilmore
and the IA men in the launch. They
had been sent to sound the mouth of
the river, but went beyond the bend /,
out of sight of the Yorktown. The sup
position is they were captured or killed
by the Spaniards or the 400 insurgents
who are besiegIng the Spanish garrison.
Admiral Dewey declines to say what
steps he will take toward punitive ex-
pedition.
General Rios, the Spanish commander
when interviewed, said he did not think
the garrison at Balar knew the war be-
tween the United States and Spain had
6QQeQ. ne naQ e0uL an OIllC0F III Jh4-
uary to tell the garrison to surrender.
The garrison refused to surrender, either
not believing the officer or fearing they
would be trapped by the insurgents.
Since then General Rios has had no
communication with the garrison, and
this is the first information that the
Spanish flag is still flying at Baler.
He thought the Americans we're shot
by the insurgents, as the Spaniards
themselves are besieged and have no
way of getting to the river. General
Rios said that he had not been con-
suited.
General Otis doubted whether the
proposed exchange of Filipino for
Spanish prisoners would succeed, as the
insurgents are holding the Spaniards in
the hope that it will help their cause.
They are not seeking money.
The letter containing General Rios
last appeal to Aguinaldo said the sur
render of the Spanish prisoners would
create a bond of sympathy between the
Filipinos and Spain.

SUFFERED
HEAVY LOSSES
Americans Exhausted Their Ammuui-
tiOn-Rebels Unusually Active Be-
tween MalolOs and Calumpit

MANILA, April 81, 9:05 a. m.-At
O'Clock this morning three South Dakota
companies marched from Bocave and in
conjunction with three com panies of the
Minnesota regiment from Guginto, north
of Bocave, encountered a rebel force
numbering fully 500, when two miles
out. The rebels retired three miles in
fairly good order, in spite of the fact
that they suffered heavy losses. The
Americans, having exhausted their am
munition, were compelled to return to
their camps.
.05 p. m.-The heat is intense. At
noon the Thermometer registered 95 de-
grees and the mercury was still rising.
There were several prostrations from
heat among the troops, but only one
man was wounded. Later army tugs
opened fire on the enemy along the river
banks.
The rebels are unusually active from
Malolos as far as Calumpit. They have
been discovered within two miles of the
railroad. Fires are burning east of the
railroad and it would appear that the
rebels are evacuating the foothill towns
in antici patton of an attack upon the
part of the American troops.

daughter of Mchael Ryan. residing on Rail-
road Avenue. died yesterday morning of
hydrCphobia. On October IS she was bit

badly lacerated and there was an ugly
w>.nd on one of her cheeks.
A surgeon cauterized the wounds thor
cughly and By his advice the parents took
the child to the Pasteur Institute in Brook
lyn. but the authorities there declined to
treat the little sufferer it is said. because
it was not positively known that the dog
that bit her was rabid, the hound having
been killed.
In less than two weeks after the child
was bitten her wounds had healed nicely
and she was playing aroand the house as
bright as ever The first symptoms of
rabies manifested themselves last Friday
afternoon. when the tot grew feverish and
there was twitching CT the limbs. Her
condition grew worse rapidly and yester
day afternoon her eyes were like those of
a fierce beast and froth oozed from her fe-
ver-parched lips. Convulsions followed and
they finally resulted in death.

MONEY FOR MISSIONS.
An Appeal for Funds to Relieve Dis
tress in India.

The General Missionary Committee of
the Methodist Episcopal Church met again
this morning at lO:3o. Bishop Warren pre-
sided The devotional exercises were con-
Quoted by the Rev. Dr. Burt.
The report of the subcommittee on for
eign missions was submitted, but no def
mite action was taken.
The Rev Dr. Leonard moved that sum
of money be appropriated to relieve the
suffering in the famine e-stricken district of
Gojerat. India. He stated that all food
products had doubled in cost and that there
were thousands of natives dying CT hunger.
The motion was vigorously opposed; not
upon the ground of a lack OF charity. but
on the ground that such motion would
subject the contingent fund to continual
drain. Bishop McCabe submitted suosti-
tute molten that the board issue an appeal
through the church for special contribu-
tions for the sufferers in India The mo-
ton was unanimously passed.
The Rev. DR.. Goucher said that IT was
of the utmost importance that the people
of India should have Christian literature.
and moved that 900 be appropriated
conditionally for the press OF Madras. he
further said that if this money was at the
disposal of the press. tracts and BOOKS
would be printed in the 335 dialects ana
languages of India. The motion was pass

Bishop Joyce urged that the money ap-
priated for the China missions should be

greatest demand from that country for
help. especially since the appearance of the
bubonic plague. No idea Of the terrible
devatation. he said. which this plague
caused could be formed by the people of
the United States. He strongly urged that
the sum of sl.74S already set aside for this
work. be increased. His appeal was IA
vorably received. although no motion was
made. but it is thought that more money
will be provided for the China conference.

DEVASTATION IN CUBA.
Former Consul Hnncc's Picture of
the Islands Condition.

NEW YORK. Nov. 2o.-Joseph L. Hance
who was the American consulate at Car
denas, Cuba before the war with Spain,
landed yesterday from the Ward liner San
tiago. which arrived from Havana on Sat
urday. He said he had been making 4 tour
OF Cuba on horseback since June. in order
to find out the industrial condition of the
islands. Mr.. Hance says:
Sugar cane is rarely seen on the plan
tations row. Tall grass hides everything.
In the provinces of Havana, Matanzas. and
Santa Clara, 1000 mills and all the cane
have been destroyed. The value OF the
machinery destroyed will average $780,
000, 600 The cane loss will reach a total o:
$200, 100000. The loss of stock and imple-
meIts will reach $50. 600 600. Adventures
have promulgated the idea that Planters
will not have adequate protection in Cuba
and therefore nothing is being done to-
ward planting the burned fields or replac-
ing the machinery.
Every one on the island who has any
property desires continuance of American
occupation. or any form of government un-
der our protection that will afford stability.
There is not Spaniard in Cuba who does
not prefer the annexation TO government
by the Cubans. and many Cubans express
the same view.
Not one soldier of our army should be
withdrawn. 1t would be discreditable to
this nation, it, after driving out the Span
iards. we were to turn the island over to
the Cubans-I mean the Havana separa-
tists-without any further instruction in
self government than they now possess.
Some property holders say that if our army
is withdrawn they will sell out and leave
the country.
Il believe that the Cubans should have
provisional government for five years,
formed by act Of Congress. providing for
legislative assembly,, elected by inhabi-
tants having property. and educational ad-
vantages, and that there should be gov
ernor appointed by the President of the
United States with the advice and consent
Of the Senate. l think We should organize
in each province United States courts hav-
ing similar jurisdiction to our Federal
courts"
