Washington, Jan. 6.-Colonel Henry
B. Osgood, commissary of subsistence,
who served with Gen. Miles at Tampa
and at Camp Thomas and Santiago.
| was before the war investigating COM
| mission yesterday. General Beaver
asked many questions as to the quality
of the rations issued during the recent
| war. In brief Colonel Osgood said that
the rations throughout the war were as
| good if not better than those usually
issued to the regular army. The beef.
/ he said, was particularly good-better
| than any he had ever eaten at an army
| post. 1t was the first time, he explained,
| that he had ever seen the refrigerator
beef issued in the army, and it was far
better than the contract beef he hal
generally had at various posts.
Contractors Held Responsible.
He said that he had had under him
a butcher of twenty-five years expert
ence who cut and issued the beef and
this man was under strict orders never
to issue a pound of bad beef. The gov
ernment, he said. had a very good
contract with Swift & Co., where
by they kept a supply of beef on |
hand in refrigerator cars and ships. |
Each day witness called for what meat |
he wanted and the contractors put it |
out on the block The contractors were
responsible for it till the meat got to the
troops. and If meat was bad when de-
livered it went back on the contractors
The contractors made good whatever |
meat was rejected.
Tells About the Green Beard"
Colonel Osgood explained that there
were many complaints as to the ap-
pearance of the meat. 1t had the green
mould or beard" on the surface as had
been explained by other witnesses. This
was repulsive looking. the witness said.
but the meat underneath was perfectly
sound, and was really prime beef-much |
better in fact than any beef killed on
the spot. Witness corrotorated the tes-
timony OF Major Duncan Harrison that
after the men who disliked the appear
ance OF the refrigerator meat had had |
short experience with meat on the hoof
they were glad to get back to the Amer
lean meat.
How a Board of Survey Was Fooled.
Colonel OsgoOd cited one instance ,
where board OF survey Of the Second ,
United States volunteers had con- e,
demned a lot OF beef and reported it j
rotten The contractor protested to Col. ,
Osgood that the refrigerator beef was
good. and brought steak cut from one
