CUBAN ARMY's MUSTER ROLLS.
IheT Contain the Names of $4,000
Men and Officers,

Havana, April 1.-THE Cuban army mus
ter rolls, which were delivered last even
ing TO Gov Gen. Brooke through Senior
Domingo Mendez Capote, are prepared in
new clerical style, the 1900 broad sheets
showing on their face $4,000 names-6,O 900
commissioned officers and 1900 non-com-
missioned officers and privates.
The whole statement is in orderly ar
rangement of corps, regiment, battalion
and company formations.
The United States military authorities
make no attempt to reconcile the 4, 900
non-commissioned officers and privates in
dicated by these rolls with the 1928 given
in the estimates prepared under the direc-
ton of the provincial governors.
AS matter of fact since the American
figures were published it has developed
that they were in some respects mlslead-
ing. For instance in the province of San
tiago Cen Leonard Wood, the governor,
reported that there were no Cubans under
arms there. At headquarters here this was
taken to mean that there We're no Cuban
soldiers organized; but Gen. Wood really
meant that there were no Cuban soldiers
in regular camps the practice being for the
Cuban soldiery TO separate, going to their
homes and to come together fortnighty
with their arms for review, dispensing
again afterward. Consequently for the
province of Santiago alone some thousands
must be added to the American figures.
Moreover. additional thousands must be
eliminated from the Cuban lists, because
the men represented are now in official en-
pioy. Nevertheless, there is a wide diff
ference between the American estima tes
and Che assembly's list. The Americans
will scrutinize~ the latter carefully, and
when the payments begin, the individuals
named must be identified by the various
company captains.
If the lists vouched for tally more than
30 GOO non-commissioned officers and priv
ates, the shares, with the Deductions viii
probably be less than 500 each. These de-
tails have not yet been settled.
Mai. Gen. Lee has rented a house of fifty
rooms at Quemados, and there seems TO be
no doubt here that he win be appointed
governor of Pinar del Rio and Havana
province outside the city Of Havana, COM
bined in a single military department.
The other departments viii be the de-
partnent of Havana under Mai Gen.
Ludlow; Matanzas and Santa Clara under
Mai Cen Wilson, and Santiago, under
Mai Gen. Wood. Puerto Principe and
the military district attached will prob
ably be under the command of Maj. Gen.
Wilson.
The yellow fever commission has dis
covered a San Arelli germ case in the
Reina Mercedes hospital here, but no fears
are entertained of a spread of the disease.
Fourteen houses in the Chinese district,
the usual center of infection, have been
closed.

COURT HELD THREE SESSIONS.
Beef Inquiry Yesterday Developed
Little of Interest.

Washington, April 14.-The Wade court
of inquiry held three sessions to-day, the
night session being devoted to the reading
of reports of army officers in regard to the
beef supply.
The witness of the day included several
officers of the Second New Jersey Volun-
teers, called to contradict DR.. Currie's s
testimony concerning the chemical treat
ment of beef furnished at Jacksonville,
Fla; the superintendents of the icing de-
partments of Armour & Co., and
Swift & Co.'S establishments, who
denied that chemicals were used
10 preserve the meat; DR.. Wiley,
chief chemist of the agricultural depart
ment, and Capt. Bean of the Pennsylva-
MIA artillery.
DR.. Wiley said he had found that the
canned beef was not a complete human
food.
Capt. Bean said his battery received no
desirable fresh meat at any time.
Prof MalIet was recalled during the aft
ernoon session, and took issue with some
points made in DR.. Bigelow's report.
The court held session tonight which
was devoted to reading reports from Off
GERS who served in the Cuban campaign.
The reports are practically unanimous
in condemning the canned roast beef as
unf1t FOR an army fdloii sOih0 VI tAiS
structures upon it being couched in en-
phatic terms.
Capt. ]. f. Huston, Twentieth Infantry,
reported he had heard canned roast beef
compared TO "the vomit of a dog" while
other officers stated it was malodorous,
unfit for human food, unpalatabe and
tasteless. In some instances the men re.
fused from the very first 10 eat it, while
other officers reported that while eaten
at first, their commands soon rejected it,
preferring any other food.
Regarding the refrigerated beef, the re-
ports were in q measure conflicting, some
of the officers declaring that it was in
the main received in very fair condition.
Other officers were unequivocal in con-
demning the refrigerated beef, declaring
who.e issues of it had 10 be buried be-
cause of the bad condition in which il
was received.

PALMETTO UNDER A PATROL.
CITIZENS ARMED FOR PROTECTION

sam Hose-Negro who Murdered
Crawford and Assaulted His Wife
Is Surrounded in swamp-Thought
He VIII Die Fighting-Mrs. Gram
ford's Awful ordeal.
Palmetto, Ca, April 4.-Armed men pa,
troll the streets of this little town tonight.
No uprising of the negro element is an
ticipated, but the men OF Palmetto who
early in the day closed their places of
business and Joined the posse pursuing the
negro. Sam Hose who brutally murdered
Farmer Alfred Crawford and assaulted his
wife, took this. precautionary measure for
the protection of their families.
The negro has not been caught, but is
surrounded in swamp between this pace
and Newman. Hoses hiding place is a
dense thieket, three miles long and equally
wide and as he entered it date yesterday,
he fired a parting shot at one of his pur-
suers, who sought to disable him and
bring him back to Palmetto alive.
1t is believed tonight that Hose will die
fighting, and thus avoid the worse fate in
store for him. He has had nothing to eat
and no rest since Wednesday. and is un-
doubtedly desperate. He is armed, and
knowing that he win be lynched, will
doubtless make a fight with the deputies
which will result in his death.
PuFsuers Number 300.
His pursuers hope that, exhausted by his
long flight, he viii be compelled to seek
rest and that they win be able to come
upon him while asleep. His pursuers num-
ber about 300 men, all business men and
farmers and every one of them armed
The swamp is completely surrounded and
the negros escape is Impossible.
The funeral of Alfred Crawford was held
to-day. His wife stood by his grave but
showed no sign of emotion. 1t is feared
that her mind has become unbalanced as
result OF the terrible ordeal she has just
passed through, and that she will collapse
completely when she hears that her negro
assailant has been caught and lynched.
Late tonight telephone message was
received from man at Barnesville saying
he had followed the negro that far and
had learned that he had taken a train
there for some point, presumably in South
Georgia or Florida. This report does not
receive much credence here.

AtrGER snas EsuuoRs ar REST.
Says Positively and EmphaticaIIy
He Will Not Resign.

re VIII NOT HeSlEn.
Washington, April 14.-Secretary Alger,
who returned to-day from Cuba and Porto
Rico, tonight put an effective quietus on
the persistent reports that he contemplated
retirement from the cabinet by positive
and unequivocal statement that the re-
ports were absolutely without foundation,
and that unless some unforeseen and un-
looked fer contingency arises, he proposes
to remain Secretary of War throughout
this administration.
Secretary Alger had his attention called
to recent rumors that he would resign
after The investigation into the conduct
of the war, and incident matters, and that
his successor had already been determined
upon. He said all statements of that char
acter were false, that he has not enter
tanned any such intention, and that they
were out forth with the evident purpose
of attempting to force him to leave the
cabinet.
He said he purposed to pay no atten-
ton to these attacks whatever. He au-
thorized The Associated Press to make an
absolute denial of the reports of his con-
templated resignation and to announce,
once for all, in the strongest terms pos
slble that he would remain at the head
of the war department through his regu-
lar term of Office
OF course, he added. if there should be
a great disaster in his private business
affairs or he should be stricken in health
or some such wholly unexpected and sud-
den event should occur, 1t might actuate
MIN to resume his private life as a mat
Ter of course, but he had not had any
idea of resigning and his determination to
remain, despite reports to the contrary,
was fixed and unalterable.

American actions belie American promises
and because the proclamation contains no
tangible guarantee ol self-government,
and that the islands will not be exploited
by syndcates, adventurers and carpet

Another interesting tigure on the witness
stand this afternoon was John +. Carroll,
Mr. Crolser's chief lieutenant.
Mr. Carroll did not prove a very easy
witness, and because cf his refusal to an
swer questions, Mr., Moss suggested that
he might have to have MIR. Carroll sent
to prison for contempt OF court, Later he
asked that Mr.. CarroHs refusal to answer
questions be reported to the legislature.
The cause of all this was the question
asked whether MIR. Carroll had any cen
nection with the Consolidated Ice Com
pany, or whittier he held any stock therein
1t developed during the examination that
Mr. Carroll had given up a S150a~postion
TO accept his present position Ia Tammany
Hall, which, theoretically, is without sal
ary.
Mr.. Moss pointed out that therefore Mr.
Carroll was without visible means of sup
port and was technically a pauper. The
Witness however, denied this, while az
the same time he denied that he was re-
ceiving a salary from Mr.. Croker or from
Tammany Hall. or from angbody that the
counsel could name.
Wanted Fair Treatment.
During the course of this examination,
Committeeman Hoffman Democrat made
a protest on the line of questions. He
demanded that all the witnesses be treated
fairly and that questions be fairly put.
MIR. Moss, however, continued to direct
his efforts to settle the question in the
same manner as he had begun. Mr.. Moss
ended his efforts in this direction by ask
ing:
Dare you tell of the money you have
received in the last thirty days2' to which
Mr. Carroll replied: II deoline to answer
such question. You can't frighten me-

Mr. Carroll made the admission that
what Mr.. Croker says goes and, accord
ing to him also it goes with everybody
connected with Tammany Hall. or holding
