GEN. BRECKINRIDGE's DISCOVERY

From the New York Evening Post.
General Breckenridge is inviting the wrath
of Alger, Corbin Co., embalmers, and
thereby subjecting himself to the peril of
courtmartial or inquiry, by revealing the
fact that lot of embalmed beef has been
sent to Cuba by the war department for the
relief of the destitute and starving natives
there He has been examining the rations
sent to these poor people under the super
vision of the commissary department, and
has found Hundreds of cases of spoiled
beef" He allowed this fact to be made
known, accompanied by statement OF be-
lief that there is much more of the same
sort of food among the supplies which have
been forwarded Some of the cases were
given to the destitute on Saturday, and the
ungratefu creatures absolutely refused
them. Several of them were broken open in
a public park and an unanswerable demon
stration was thus made as to their quality
Captain Oskaloosa M. Smith, who repre-
sents Ayers subsistence department in and
about Havana, is very indignant with Cen
eral Breckenridge, and has written sharp
letter to him, asking him why he is there
interfering with the commissary BUSH
ness" This letter General Breckenridge has
ignored. Here is surely ample ground for
a courtmartial. The entire proceeding is
insulting to Secretary Alger and to the
commissary department. 1t is said that the
"embalmed beef" went to Porto Rico be-
fore it was sent to Havana. That was done
probably to get 1t into thoroughly ripe"
condition. Should the destitute Cubans not
be treated as we'll as our own soldiers? Let
there be no discrimination in this matter.

.LYNCH|NGS WILL. T.
!. Be INVESTIGATED.
America to Meet the De-
mands of Italy. =:
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

CALL OFFICE WELLINGTON HO-
TEL. WASHINGTON, Nov. b.-At the
instance of the italian ambassador the
Department OF Justice has sent special
agent 10 Tallulah. La, make an In
Vestigation of the lynching of Italians
there last July. Italy has: been con-
stantly pressing the United States for
the punishment OF the men concerned in
the iynching, but beyond urging the State
authorities TO act the administration has
not been able to do anything. 1t was ex-
pected that the Grand Jury In the county
in which the crime occurred would have
acted by now. but ii is apparent there
has been a delay, and TO determine the
reasons therefor and responsibility for
the crime a special agent OF the Depart
ment of Justice has been directed TO make
an investigation and report.
The administration is very willing TO
do all il can TO bring the .nurderers to
justice, but the right of the State TO deal
with the matter is fully recognized and
the National Government cannot inter
fere. This has been made plain to the
Italian authorities.
AS soon as the judicial feature OF the
matter IS settled. II is expected, Italy
will demand an indemnity for the heirs
of the Italians who were lynched. but the
department will undoubtedly be willing
TO make a recommendation to Congress
for an appropriation which will satisfy
them.

.SPUR|OUS=LABELS.
ON THE BOTTLES
Ordinary Liquors Sold
as Imported"
Special Dispatch 70 The CAN.

NEW YORK. Nov. s. The United
States Senate Committee on Manufac-
lures. represented by Senator Mason Of
Illinois, resumed to-day its investigation
into the adulteration Of liquors. George
=. Sadler. editor of BonfOrts Wine and
Spirit Circular, was the first witness.
Il firmly believe" he said. that of the
imported spirits which are protected by a
high duty more of the spurious than the
genuine is Sold
Mr.. Sadler said the Government lost at
least Ss.000,0 600 annually on spirits alone by
dealers using imitation labels. BY spuri-
Gus beer labels he thought the Govern
ment loss exceeded 81 900 ,060 annually.
Keywood c. Brown, a bother OF import
ed ales. testified that he had known OF
forty cases Of fraudulent limitations OF
labels. Mr.. Sadler and Mr.. Brown agreed
that Senate bill 1850. If enacted, would
have done much TO rectify the evil.
DIR. Francis Wyatt, consulting chemist
to the National Brewing Academy, said
the use of starch-bearing cereals in the
manufacture of beer did not influence its
quality nor detract from its purity. In
imported beers, DR.. Wyatt said. he had
found bi-sulphate of lime. which he con-
sidered better and more wholesome pre-
servative than salicylic acid. In import
ed wines he had found great adulteration.

YANKEE GALLANTRY.
How Troop IF the Fourth Cavalry
Met an Ambuscade.

A copy OF the Manila paper Freedom Of
October 5, received here yesterday, gives
an interesting account of how a small de-
tachment of Troop A, Fourth Cavalry,
under command of Captain Cameron. got
out of a very bad hole American valor
and the poor craftsmanship OF the insur-
gents conspired TO save the little band
from what, under ordinary circumstances
would have been short but wholesale
slaughter.
Captain Cameron and his men were out
on a accommodating expedition in the vi
cinity of Santa Ana. Riding up the bed
of an arroyo they walked right into a
carefully prepared trap. They found them
selves surrounded by insurgents, VINO
were secreted in three different intrench-
ments.
Private Radcliffe was shot in the head
and fell from his horse dead. For a mo-
ment a panic seemed inevitable. Captain
Cameron ordered his men to dismount.
The horses were sent for shelter around a
bend, and with twenty-five men Captain
Cameron advanced to within a, few yards
of the hidden trenches, which were by
this time splitting fire and lead In very
threatening manner. waving MS sword
Cameron ordered a charge. and with a
yell which scared the insurgents the
American soldiers rushed on top of their
hidden foes and within ten minutes from
the time of the first surprise had COM
pletely routed the insurgents and taken
possession of their almost impregnaole
position.
During the fight an insurgent officer
fired four times point blank at Corporal
de Clairmont. The corporal not only
avoided the bullets, but assisted Private
Linderfeldt in capturing the officer.
Corporal de Clairmont is San Francis
co boy, who entered the army as private
last August with the intention OF earning
a commission. He comes naturally by his
fighting instincts. He Is a son or Colonel
Ralph de Clairmont of this city, who has
himself taken part in many wild charge
and perilOus siege.
