~ number of slaves, but notwithstand-

rated in 1865 and served until 1869, COW
ering that eventful period of recon-
struction. Intense animosities existed

feared for his life. But he went un-
guarded and his courage carried him

Declares 1t an Utterly Unpaiatabie and
Unfit Ration for Soldiers


New York, March 27.0The principal
witness Saturday before the court Of
INQUIRY into the beef supplied the army
in the field last summer was Theodore
Roosevelt, governor of New York, and
colonel of the Rough Riders He gave
more than a column of testimony, but 1t
is all summarized in the following reply
to Major Lee. who asked the governor
opinion of canned roast beef as a ration;
Il regard it as entirely unit and an
utterly unpalatable ration. The canned
roast beef we had al Santiago was I'M
wholesome in every particular want
to make the statement without qualih-
cation Whatsoever have seen il said
that cans have been tested here in the
north and that they have been said to
be fit. but / desire TO assert that my
experience with my command leads me
to say emphatically that the santiago
roast beef at its best was unpalataDIe
and at its worst uneatable- To the ma
jority of the men under me IL was sufh-
GENTLY unwholesome to make them alb
solutely sick.
Captain Saffold described canned
roast beef as boiled beef with every
thing boiled out of it Several other
witnesses testified similarly. None of the
Witnesses ever heard of refrigerated
beef being chemically treated until they
got home. Roosevelt said he heard COM
plants that the refrigerated beef tasted
wrong. but he had known il to taste
similarly when he had it on hunting
trips The WITNESSES all testified that
che refrigerated beef was good when it
Nas not kept too long, but Roosevelt
said it gave the men diarrhoea.
