4as BEEF INVESTIGATORS.
Regular Army Lieutenant Declared
tho Meat limit to Eat

tNtkuihf Army 1lcuAtuhub DeclhfeO
the Meat UNIT to Eat.
Chicago, March 10.--The last witness
called before the army beef court OF in
quiry yesterday proved to be sensational.
He was an officer Of the regular army,
First Lieutenant NJ. T.. Davis. of the
First cavalry, called at the request Of
Major Lee, the representative Of Gen
eral Miles. Lieutenant Davis testified
that in Cuba one-half the cgnnPA roast
beef issued to the soldiers was thrown
away because it was unfit to eat He
testified that he had opened one can
himself and found maggots in it.
Major Lee asked: How did the mag
gots get in thereY
"They were canned in there" the wit
ness replied
Colonel Davis: "Are you aware that
In the process Of canning this meat un-
dergoes such an intense heat that no
animal life would survive in itY
II don't mean to say they were alive;
they were dead
DR.. John b. Shaw, Of Joliet, Ills,
surgeon of the Third Illinois volunteers,
testified that on the voyage from New
port News TO Porto Rico canned roast
beef was issued, and there was great
deal Of complaint about IT. IL was
stringy, pulpy and nauseating, and did
not seem to noursh the men. While in
Porto Rico, ~ miles from Ponce, the
matter of rations was taken out Of the
regiments hands to a great extent. Gen
eral Grant seemed to know more about
it than anybody else. The witness took
no particular interest then because of
the action of General Grant.
"He cannot violate the lawW
"He did"
did he issue ordersY
HE issued whatever he saw fit."

A SPECIAL correspondent writing
to the North American from Havana
says that General Gomez lives like a
Prince at a cost of $500 day, and
maintains an extravagant retinue of
one hundred and fifty men. The
luxury in which he now lives aston
ishes his once starved followers of the
Cuban jungles. Still, the 'old fox, -
as he is termed among his intimate
admirers, is entitled to the best that
is in Cuba.

THE executive committee of the
State Democratic Press Association
met in Harrisburg and endorsed the
general course of the Democrats in
the Legislature. This is a mild con-
demnation of those editors who are
receiving pay to "break up' the Dem
Ocratic lines, and work in favor of the
McCarrell bill. But, perhaps, the
latter are not considered Democratic
editors.

Soldiers Pension r1Oney.

Senator Gibson, of Erie, has intro
duced in the Legislature a bill reopen
ing the question of retaining pension
money of inmates of the Soldiers and
Sailors Home at Erie, which has been
freely discussed for the past several
months in the daily press of the state,
and in Grand Army circles.
The Senator has long been inter
ested in the question. He has ap-
peared before the board of trustees
several times in behalf of the inmates,
and has represented them in the
Erie courts, where they made an ef-
fort to resist the rule of the manage
ment Of the Home that all pension
money received exceeding $4 a month
must be placed in what is known as a
'Pension fund.-" of which General
Louis Wagner, Of Philadelphia
treasurer OF the Home, is custodian
According to the statements Of the
Senator from Erie, he has a new argu
ment to make, and one watch il
huOW4 only 70 certain VI bhC mana
gers. The Governor is president oI
the board and the Adjutant General
is secretary. Senator Gibson says
that not only is the money taken
from the inmates not returned tC
them or used for their maintenance
or the maintenance Of dependent
ralaffvaa but that the state auffers ar
actual loss Of about $4,000 year by
the operation Of the rule. The pen
sion fund does not go into the state
treasury, but remains in the hands OF
General Wagner
The national government pays 800
a year for the maintenance of each
inmate, provided no pension money
is taken from him but when the
pension money'is taken it deduets

Santiago de Cuba. March 10.-Owing
to reports from the United States that

department is cndeavoring to ascertain

and in the coat pocket was found the
feet couutersigns for June 28, signed by
the late Captain OyicdO BustamentO,
Admiral Ccryera's chief Of staff.
General Wood is also confident that
the remains are those Of an officer com
manding some ship, most probably the
Pluton. owing to the immediate proXim-
ity Of the wreck of that destroyer. Cap
tain Romero. formerly Spanish naval
officer says the rope that was found
tied about the chair is of British manu-
facture, his argument being that the
Furore and Pluton, both of which were
built in British yards, would be fitted
with such rope.
Senor Bas, proprietor of the Venus
cafe, who knew Admiral Villamil well,
says that shortly after the battle a
Spanish sailor from the Pluton told him
he helped bring Admiral Nillamil's body
ashore, tied in a chair, under the di-
rection Of some officer who was killed
almost Immediately after landing, and
that another sailor who helped was also
killed Senor Bas believes that the re
mains are undoubtedly those Of Admiral

the second barrel into her body, after
which he blew out his brains. The sound
of the shots had scarcely died away when

by Bean had been stolen from this store,
and he had eveidently set fire to the
