BEEF FURNISHED THE SOLDIERS.
STATEMENT FROM GENERAL
MILES ON THE SUBJECT.
Has Evidence From All Parts of
the Country Corroborating
His Testimony.

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-General Nell
son A. Miles gave out a statement to-
night, after denying several published
interviews attributed to him. He pre-
faced his statement by saying:
L have BEEN most freely quoted with
out authority from me or without any
utterance on my part 1t has been a
source of great annoyance to me-
His statement is as follows: "On the
Goth of last September issued an or
der to regimental commanders to re-
port to me concerning the beef which
had been issued to their men. At the
same time that 1 went before the War
Investigating Commission I had only
received reports from fourteen of the
commanders. Now I have thirty re-
ports. They all tell the same story.
The evidence proves the truth of the
statements l have made.
In addition to the report of the regi-
mental commanders, l have a great
mass of evidence, consisting Of COM
munications, affidavits, ETC., from Off
GERS, soldiers and civilians Every part
of the country has contributed to the
mass of correspondence which l have
received in reference to the beef served
to our soldiers, and the evidence is all
corroborative of what have said. The
great publicity which the press has
given the matter has brought all the
correspondence of which l speak upon
me.
Il have overwhelming evidence that
the embalmed beef was treated with
chemicals in order to preserve it. |
have affidavits from men who saw the
beef undergoing the treatment or en-
balming process.
Now, as to the canned roast beef,
that was different from embalmed
beef. The canned roast beef was the
beef after the extract had been boiled
out of it. You have seen the advertise
ments, Beef extract; one pound con-
tains the substance of from four to
five pounds of prime beef Well, this
is the beef after the extract has been
taken from it, They put this beef
pulp UP in cans and label It canned
roast beef The soldiers report that
the canned beef was nausealing. IL
swallowed it could not be kept on the
stomach
1t was pointed out to General Miles
that he had been quoted as having
said that if the men who supplied the
beef would deposit a thousand dollars
in such a way that it could be made
to pay the cost of the proceedings, he
would furnish absolute proof of his as :
sertions. He was asked what tribunal
he had in mind, or to whom he would
furnish the proof, and in reply said:
IL made that statement in response
TO the offer of beef men to pay $780,
O0O for evidence of the truth Of my
ALLEGATIONS against their product. took
their offer as a bluff, and took that way
of answering it. I have no tribunal
in mind. | have the greatest abund-
ance of evidence to support the charges
| made, and do not think that any
part of the thousand dollars need De
spent in mere investigation
General Miles has received a telegram
from Colonel A. A. Pope of Boston, re-
ouesting General Miles to draw on him
for 81 600 to prove that chemicals were
used to embalm beef furnished to SOL
diers. but his offer will not be accepted,
for the reasons already given.

Elsewhere I have tried to tell you how in West Africa women have their private property legally on an equality with man; how they have great tribal societies; how they can only be kept in order by the men playing some variety of Mumbo Jumbo upon them They never completely believe that the mems secret society is really a. great spirit. They have great secret society of their own, you see; but, nevertheless, they fear the secret society of the men be- cause it can take their children and their chickens and hit them with whips, nay, even kill them, and, similarly, their se- cret society is feared by the men, for the women do the cooking, and can put bush in their chop, and the West Afri- can man knows what that means-sck- ness and trouble,-Mary Kingsley in the London Telegraph.

Disturb, Officers of the Law.

The police are much disturbed over the

their business and have full knowledge of
the movements of the police force. The
robberies both took place in one part of a

same district when they knew the officers
were on the lookout for them. but made off
to another precinct before time had Claps-

Detectives Weldon and Horne were as
signed TO the case by Inspector Boardman
this morning and they expect to turn up
some startling information in short time.
The first victim of the highwaymen was
Frank w Jones. of 1914 Florida Avenue
and the robbery occurred at Thirteenth
Street and that avenue. Afterward t. p.
Hickman. of COS II Street northwest, was
held up in II Street between Ninth and
