Governor Roosevelt also affirms that the
timed beef that came under his observa-
ton before Santiago was bad. at best
it was tasteless, and at worst it was
nauseating." He further says that the
beef was sent up TO the firing line where
the men were without rations, but that
rather than let them eat the dangerous
stuff he let them go hungry. This volun-
taTy testimony was received by General
Miles yesterday and there is said to be
more of the same character from other
persons. prominent New York lawyer
who charges the Illness of his son to the
meat offered TO aid in the investigation Of
the scandal.
But there is no investigation. General
Breckenridge the Inspector General, having
been called off. there is no official or board
that is now disposed to collect evidence
that does not tend TO disprove the charges
made by General Miles. The machinery Of
Justice is all in the hands OF the Admins
tration. which has every reason to prevent
the conviction of anybody for supplying
bad meat TO the army. All the Indignation
of those who now have the matter in hand
is directed against General Miles for hav
ing exposed the outrage and thus discred-
iting American meat abroad besides re-
fiecting on the War Department.
Such testimony as that Of Governor
Roosevelt is interesting and even valuable
to observers who resent the sending OF
such a ration to our soldiers in the tropics
because il shows that the two cargoes for
warded to Porto Rico did not include all
the bad beef imposed on the army. No
| body Will doubt the honesty of Governor
Roosevelt in his condemnation of the bee.
1t will hardly do to throw his testimony
aside on the ground that he is ignorant of
rations. He has been, among many other
spectacular things, cowboy and a rancher
and may be expected 10 have an intimate
acquaintance with canned stuffs of all
kinds.
| His opinion of the beef agrees with that
OF more than score of officers in Porto
Recovery regimental commander and a
number of company otficers-nearly ALL if
not all, of whom are experienced officers
of the regular army and who know all
about rations 1t is the testimony of such
honest and competent men that makes the
task of establishing good name for the
stuff extremely difficult if not absolutely
impossible.
| II will hardly do for the President to
follow the advice of Secretary Alger and
suspend General Miles 1t would be very
unpopular thing and would increase the
suspicion that the War Department has
something TO conceal. In making his
statement about the beef General Miles
spoke in the interest OF the soldiers whose
welfare he has right to consider We
do not think it is at all likely he will be
suspended, for that might make an in
quiry necessary, which is not what Secre-
tary Alger wants. Nor is it probable thai
a court martial OF General Eagan, if Their,
is one, will take the scope the latter urget
in his statement The merits of the bee
controversy will not be brought out.
