Rattons.

Washington, April 12.-Gen. A. r.
Chaffee, A. X. Arnold, Dr. Huidkopfer
and Capt Williams of the commissary

supplied to the army at Santiago whole
some, the officers and men of his COM
mand refused generally to eat it He at
tributed this largely to the fact that most
OF them were sick. DR.. Huidkopfer said
the canned beef was generally of poor
quality. Capt. Williams told of the con-
demnarion of the beef on board the trans
port Panama. Gen. Arnold's testimony
dealt with the beef supplied at Jackson
Vile which was, he said, generally whole
some.
Members of the court express conf.
dence OF being able to conclude the tax
ing of testimony by the early part of next

THE JUNTA REPLIES.
Filipinos at Hong Kong Discuss Amer
lean ProcIamstfon'

Hong Kong, April 12.-The Filipino
Junta here, regards the proclamation of
the United States Philippine commission
as being objectional and has issued u
grapdiloqueIt statement to the effect that
1t is Tissue of generalities; bristles
with pharisaism and cant, vaguely
promises, and grants nothing to the Fill
pinos who are tired of promises and sur
feited by Spanish promises similar to the
American.
Continuing the statement reads: 1.-The
proclamation proves that the fair promises
of independence under protectorate and
President McKinley's declaration of the
objects of the Spanish war were only q
mask of humanitarianism to cover the
real intention. The invitation OF the
United States Philippine commissioners
to the Filipinos to meet them for an ex-
change of views. Is meaningless as.
during the hotilities, the representative
Filipinos are necessarily absent from Ma
nila, assisting the struggle for fndepend-
ence.
"Ihe tiiipinos continue to resist q
violent and aggressive usurpation not be
cause they expect complete victory, but
to emphasize their rights and to protest
against a ruthless invasion.
I've emphatically deny that the aims
of the American government have been
misluterpreted. The proclamation of
General Otis showed those aims clearly.
We also deny the legality Of the sale of
sovereignty over the Philippines by Spain
and We re-iterate positively that the
Americans began the hostilities on Fefru-
ary sth.'"
