THE SOLAR PLEXUSBLOW.

Governor Roosevelt's testimony
before the Court of Inquiry yester-
day gave the finishing stroke to the
Alger-E agau beef combination.
The Governor corroborated General
Miles's charges in every particular.
His condemnation of the canned
roast beef was unequivocal and
crushing. On the voyage to Cuba
Colonel Roosevelt ate a moutful of
1t and it made him sick. After
the landing
81 tried to eat some of it again,
but | could not eat it. The cans
when opened would show on top a
sort of slime. The beef inside was
stringy and coarse like u bundle of
fibres. Sometimes we could stew
1T with potatoes and onions and
eat it-but | think l could have
eaten my hat, slowed with onions
and potatoes, just as we'll"
Last July Colonel Roosevelt
made a report to the War Depart
ment, which he first submitted to
all his officers for approval, COM
planning of the food furnished the
soldiers. Alger was careful to
suppress this report. Eagan, too,
must have had knowledge of it's
existence, but both of them have
persistently denied that any OBJ
joctions to the beef were made to
the War Department.
On the subject of chemically
treated beef Governor Roosevelt
said
Before we left Tampa n couple
quarters of beef treated chemically
were put aboard. 1t was to be
placed on the forward deck. 1t
was 'embalmed beef
81 knew nothing about it at the
time, | was told it was treated
with chemicals to preserve it
especially to last in the tropics.
cit was put on tho deck, and it
lasted about n day. Then it be
came so offensive / condemned it.
and it was thrown overheard.
81 have been informed since /
got back shat it was put on simply
as an experiment."
In summing up his testimony
Governor Roosevelt left no doubt
as to his opinioa Of the vile stun
that was served as an army ration
to the soldiers in Cuba /:
81 regard as an utterly unfit.
utterly uDwholesome ration for
troops, the canned roast beef that
we had at Santiago.
81 want TO make that statement
without any qualification. l have
seen That cans were tested up here
and found 10 be unwholesomo.
"l wish 10 State most emphati-
cally that the experience that had
ln my reg lmont with that canned
roast beef during the Santiago
campaign should prove beyond the
snadow Of a question that the
canned roast beef we had was.
at best, unpalatable /; at the worst.
UNBEATABLE and unwholesome: and
that 20 O majority Of the men under

d|ecenuial reassessmeRt of the real
estate Of the State for the purposes
of taxation goes into effect on the
goth Of May, next.
1t provides in substance that {:
The county court OF each
coanty having two assessment dis
tricts shall recommend five per-
sons who shall be frseholders in
their districts. of whom the board
of public works shall appoint one
assessor for each district. In
counties OF only one assessment
district the court recommends
three persons, one Of whom the
board appoints.
The assessors shall give bond in
the sum of 50, 900 for the faithful
performance of their duties.
The Auditor shall furnish the
necessary books, &c.
The work shall begin as soon as
possible, and tho assessor shall ex-
anime in person, all the tracts of
land and town lots with buildings
and Improvements, and shall ascer.
tain and assess the fair cash value
thereof, and the minerals, mineral
waters, oils and gases underlying
the surface shall be considered in
ascertaining the value; and when
mineral. mineral water, oil gas or
coal privileges or interests are held
by q party or company exclusive
of the surface, the same shall be as
sessed separately to such party at
its cash or market value /; and the
commissioner, in fixiAg the value
of lands and mineral nights, shall
act in all cases upon his own judg-
ment and upon all the information
he can obtain as to such value.
And when the timber is held by a

thereof, at its fair cash or market
value.
In fixing the value of any land
within the limits of any city or

into lots and opended up as lots,
by the construction and mainte-
nance of roads and streets through
the same. the commissioner shall
adopt as the value of such land the
value thereof as so laid off into
such lots valueing the same by the
lot and not by the acre or tract.
When the assessment is com
pleted it shall be duly sworn to
and returned to the Auditor, and
two copies left with the county

Any person feeling aggrieved by
the assessment may apply to the
county court within one year

of whom shall belong to one politl-
cal party, TO be appointed by the
board of public works. Their duty
is to equnlize the assessments as

The first taxes to be collected
under this reassessmont will be in
the year 1900.
