Appearance OF tho Cruiser Chicago
Hastens the Settlement.
TANaIERs, Morocco, May 10.-The
claims Of the United Ststes against
the government of Morocco have been
settled. The United States cruiser
Chicago sailed from this port yester-
day to resume her voyage around
Africa.
WASHINGTON, May 1o.-Official con-
irmation Of the settlement of the claims
Of American citizens against the Moor
,ish government reached the auth ,ri.-
ties here in a dispatch from Rear 1 d.
miral Howelson, who was aboard the
Chicago. It is stated positively, how
ever, that the Chicago was not sent to
Tangier for the purpose Of enforcing
my demand for the payment OF the
claims mentioned, but that she simply
stopped there on her cruise around
Africa The officials say that in all
likelihood the United States consul
took advantage of the moral effect of
the presence of the cruiser and re-
newed his oft-repcated request for the
payment Of the claims, some of which
have been pending upwards of four or
FIVE years, They grew out of the
practice of the native government to
grant certificates of protection" to
employees of American merchants who
may be sent on trips to the interior
for their employers. In number Of
cases the government failed to afford
the protection guaranteed by the cer-
tiicates, the employees being waylaid
and robbed.

Volunteers Coming Home.

WASHINGTON, May ll.--Volunteer
soldiers in the Philippines are coming
home. This fact was made known by
cable dispatch from Otis saying the
transport Pennsylvania had left the
islands for San Francisco. The dis.
patch did not say who were included
in the number returning to America,
but it is supposed they are from the
Nebraska regiment. The Nebraskans
were the first to leave San Francisco
and the war department has decreed
that the regiments shall return in the
order in which they left San Fran
cisco. According to this arrangement
the Iowa troops will be the last to
leave the Philippines. ri

NO BLAME FOR PACKERS.

Beef Court OF Inquiry Exonerates Them
on Charges Made Dy Miles.
WASHINGTON, May Q. ~ President
Mckinley has given out the report Of
the Wads court, which inquired into
the army beef, and it was promul-
gated in official orders to the army.
The courts findings are in no sense q
whitewash. 1t declares that General
Niles charges of .'embalmed' beef
were not sustained, but that his ALE
Eations as to the unsnitableness OF
canned roast beef s'under tho condi-
tions existing" were justified. The
court finds that the refrigerated beef
was not treated with chemicals, that
the canned roast beef was not dam
eyed for food by rarboiling, and that
1t is impossible to conclude that
either the canned, fresh, or roast beef,
~ refrigerated beef, appears to any
extent as q cause of lntes-
final diseases" This is regarded MS a
thorough vindication Of the meat
packers. The court blames General
Miles for his unwarranted charges
against refrigerated beef, for failing
20 report his suspicious promptly to
the secretary Of war, and for neglect
ing to confer with the officials of the
war department concerning the COM
ponents Of the ration which should
be issued to troops serving in the
tropics. The court censures former
Conmissary General Eagan for his
"unwarranted and reckless action in
ordering the purchase of such enor-
nous quantities of food Canned roast
beef that was practically untried and
unknown which act the court pro-
nounces "a colossal error for which
there is no palliation." Various ofii-
GERS of the commissary. and quarter
masters departments are blamed for
neglect rs respects the time consumed
in the transportation of refrigerated
beef from cold storage to troops and
for faulty arrangements in its deliv-
cry and its care after delivery.

Startling Testimony Before Pure Food
Committee. .. a..
CHICAGO, May <1O.-The senatorial
pure food Investigating committee
yesterday heard some startling testi-
,nony in regard to the adulteration OF
food products which may prolong its
session considerably. Prof. A. S.
Mitchell, chief chemist Of the Wiscon-
sin dairy and food commission, made
the sworn statement that nearly every
butcher IN Illinois used preserving
:liqnids on scraps Of meat which they
LAID aside for the manufacture Of
ham burger steak and other alleged
delicacies The chemist first told of
his test of q liquid known as ''freez-
ine.' lie said that the stuff had been
used extensively bv farmers to keep
milk and butter, it being the custom
to MKT with the former in small
quantities and pour quantities over
the watts for the preservation Of butter.
"This 'freezine' l have found to be
nothing less than almost pure formic
aldeEyde,'' said the professor, "a
chemical that acts disastrously upon
the tissue OF the stomach. can only
surmise the results when milk diluted

Where butter is placed in watts filled
will, this stuff the porus commodity
takes up no small amount of the
liquid, with result that can only be
conjectured.

Mauser rifles in the possession of anti
