Rufus Benson, aged Il, met a hor
rible death at Fair Haven Tuesday Of
last week. His father is proprietor Of
a summer hotel in that village and
the young man had charge of the
barn. About noon he went to the
barn TO put up some horses that a
pleasure party had driven. Not re-
turning in time for dinner and
answering no calls, his father went to
call him. His son, bruised, trampled
and bleeding. lay unconscious under
the heels Of a vicious horse. He was
extrieated and taken to the house, but
died in about an hour. The manner
in which the boy met his death seems
TO be that he slipped or was knocked
down in the stall and the vicious
horses cruel hoofs did the rest. His
face was mangled almost beyond rec
ognition.
A little girl named Gertrude
Owens, daughter of Mrs. Owens,
widow, living on North Winooski
avenue, Burlington, met with a dread
full accident Friday afternoon that
will probably cost the child's life.
The child was playing with some
kerosene near the fire when the kero-
seIe took fire and set her clothes
ablaze. The frightened child ran out
into the street, her clothes of course
blazing more and more as she ran.
Frank Saltus saw her from his store
and rushed out, attempting to put
the flames out. Michael McGettrick
also rushed up and took off his coat,
it about her. Before they
succeeded in putting out the flames,
however, Gertrude was fearfully |
burned over her whole body.

Washington, Jan. 13.-At today's cabinet
meeting a large part of the time was taken
up in discussing General Eagan's test-

press any opinion as TO what, If any
thing would be done in the matter. which

Secretary Alger. Nevertheless, all shs
members Of the cabinet commend the &C
ton OF the committee in declining 10 re-
Ceive thu manuscript OF General Eagan's
testimony UNTIL the Objectionable epithets
have been expungeG. There IS no doubt
that the president deeply regrets the in

To General Nelson A. Miles, War De-
partment, Washington:
my Dear General Miles: ! do not dis
tinctly understand about this beef contro-
versy, but possibly what I have written
about it may be of some use.
'fThe canned corned beef we found to
good The so-called canned roast beef
that was issued to us for travel rations,
both on the transport and on the trains,
and which We occasionally got even at
the front, was practically worthless. IN
less very hungry, the men would not
touch it, and even when suffering from
lack of food, they never ate fifth OF it.
At the best it was tasteless; at the worst.
it was nauseating. There was also a sup
ply of beef lin the shape Of quarters)
which was put aboard our transport at
Tampa. 1t was supposed to be fitted by
soma process to Withstand tropical heat.
1t at dnce became putrid and smelled so
that We had to dispose OF 1t fsr fear of It's
creating disease. think we threw 1t over
board At any rate, it was condemned.
The beef we got at Santiago after the
24th or 18th of July. that is, after the siege
had ended, and when my brigade had
been without fresh meat or vegetables for
a month, was generally good. BY that
time the cavalry division was in a sickly
condition. The fact that the meat ration
was so bad as generally TO be inedible,
caused very great hardship TO my men
and reduced it's supply of food below what
was necessary to keep them in proper
condition.
Very sincerely yours,
(Sioned)
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1899-01-14

welt stated today that he had written
letter to Major General Miles concerning
the condition of the meat furnished dur
ing the Santiago expedition. General
Miles, at Washington, has made reference
TO the receipt OF that letter. The governor,
as colonel OF the regiment OF Rough
Riders, submitted report TO the war de-
partment in September last which con-
tanned practically the same account of the
condition of the beef as was set forth in
his letter 20 General Miles.
The governor, in his letter, stated that
four kinds of beef were furnished 10 the
Rough Riders from the time they left
Florida for Cuba, until their return.
The first Of these was corned beef. Its
quality was good. The salt in the meat
seasoned the other articles Of food and
the men found It quite palatable.
The second kind was canned roast beef,
which was without favor or taste and
would turn the stomachs Of those who ate
it. 1t was tsringy and tough and without
any qualities which would render ii Il:
article of food. There was but one way
in which the men could eat II, and that
was by making 1t into a stew. Fresh
vegeta bles were not always obtainable and
ystews could be made only occasionally.
When the Rough Riders left Tampa
large quantity of specially prepared beef
was quartered and was stored in the for
ward end of the transport. 1t had been
prepared by some special process unknown
to Colonel Roosevelt, but was supposed
to be with some form of solution. The
transport was out from Tampa but few
hours when this beef began TO smell. The
stencil was so great that the men avoided
the forward side of the transport as much
as possible. The meat could not be eaten
and it was thrown, into the ocean.
A fourth kind of beef was served to
the Rough Riders at Santiago after July
s. 1t was of good quality and was brought
to Cuba in special steamers with refriger-
ator facilities.
Governor Roosevelt's official report was
accompanied by reports Of the quEter-
master and surgeon ofthe regiment and
those of several captains.
Governor Roosevelt is known TO greatly
regret the turn the trouble IN the war de-
partment seems 20 be taking, as he feels
| that it is not so important to fix the blame
as it is to prevent the recurrence of the
conditions that gave rise to the contro-
versy.
Washington, Jan. 13.-General Miles to-
| day made public the following letter bear
ing on the quality of the army beef, which
|
