TWO PER CENT BAD.
Beef in Army Warehouses Examined at
Havana.


Havana, Feb. 14-Brigadier General
George r. Ernst of Major General
Brooke's staff has completed the eX-
animation of between 100000 and 100000
rations of beef in the army warehouses.
He found that there was less than two
per cent of bad beef. which was re-
ceved in the same shipment as the beef
condemned last week. One box in every
ten was opened and examined, and also
every box that was smelling bad. The
beef was from the ArmourS and was
in two and four-pound cans, and II
and "a cans We're in each box. Eight
ounces of beef constitute one ration.
The fact having come to the notice of
General Brooke's headquarters that
negro servants and other employees in
Havana were declining to work any
longer, affirming that it was unneces-
sary because the United States would
supply them all the food they wanted,
Brigadler General Chaffee has directed
a communication to the department
commander calling his attention to the
fact.
In the matter of the withdrawal Of
the Cubans who were in the Garcia
funeral on Saturday. the better element
of Cubans are now realizing that mis-
take was made in the childish attitude
and behavior of their general on that
day. Public opinion is fixing the blame
upuil tIf 1tBl VI Lie Supdl
assembly and upon Fernando Freryre,
one of the vice presidents of the as
sembly, and General Andrade, who, it
| is alleged were responsible for the or
der to withdraw Condemnation Of
Saturdays action is growing and ex-
pressons of regret and apologies will
be probably rendered to General
Brooke.
General Gomez has left Sagua and
proceeded to Santa Clara. Ovations in
his honor continue with unabated en-
thllSiaSm.

PARLIAMENTARY CONTEST.
Cannon Raises Four Points of Order
Against the Canal Bill.

Washington, Feb. 14--The Nicaragua
canal bill was offered in the house this
afternoon as an amendment to the sun
dry civil appropriation bill, but by Mr..
Hepburn, chairman of the committee
that reported it and the leaders on the
respective sides are engaged in a des-
perate struggle which involves the fate
of the measure at this session of con-
gress. After MI Cannon, chairman of
the committee on appropriations, serv-
ed notice last week that there was no
time for the consideration of the canal
bill at this session. the supporters of
the measures decided to force it on the
sundry civil bill as a rider if possible.
AS soon as it was offered this afternoon
Mr. Cannon raised four points of order
against it and one of the most interest
ing parliamentary debates of the ses-
sion was on. AS a rule, the house lead
ers are able to hold the members in line,
but strong arguments We're adduced in
support of the pertinency of the amend
ment and the bill has strong friends
on both sides. who are ready to adopt
any eXpedient to provide for the con-
struction of the canal. The debate on
the points of order lasted two hours
to-day and was not concluded. 1t prom
ises to consume several hours to-mor-
row. 1t seems to be a foregone conclus-
ion that the chairman of the commit
tee of the Whole Will sustain the points
of order so that the real test will come
upon the question of oVerruling the
chairs decision. Should the chair be
overruled, there is no doubt that the
amendment will command majority of
votes. About 20 pages of the bill were
disposed of to-day. No important
amendments We're adopted.
About 100 members of the house were
in their seats when Speaker Reed called
the house to order. Several bills of
minor Importance were passed and at
1 o'clock they went into committee Of
the whole and resumed the consider
alton of the sundry civil appropria
ton bill.
Mr. Wheeler. dem, Ky. in the course
of some remarks in ORR sition to eX-
pansion, served notice that he proposed
to vote against the S20,000,000 appro
priation 10 be paid to Spain.
Mr. Bailey. dem, Tex. reminded Mr..
Wheeler that the president and senate
constituted the treaty making power
ard that the house must acquiesce in
their action.
Mr Wheeler maintained that the
treaty making power had no right to
bind the house. He declared that the
Judgment of history would reproach
us for slaughtering the Filipinos
Mr. Williams. dem. Miss. argued
that the house had no right to question
a treaty made or to repudiate treaty
obligations. Mr.. Lewis, dem, Wash.
furnished an interesting contribution
to the historical phase of the subject
by recalling the fact that Spain agreed
to pay England $10,000,000 after the

MOLINEUX ON THE STAND.
Cornish Promises to Make Straightfor-
ward Statement.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE inquest into
the cause of the death of Mrs. Kate
j. Adams, who died on December 2S
through the mails by Harry Cornish at
the Knickerbocker Athletic club. was
resumed to-day after a three days re-
cess. Young MolineuX, who was the
first witness to-day, was pale AMI thin
and seemed to be i'll when he entered
the court room this morning, but did
not show any nervousness. When Cor
nish entered the room an hour later he
took a seat facing Molneux, a few feet
distant from him. They spent little
time in looking each other over, but it
made them both apparently i'll at ease,
and Cornish soon left the room and Mo-
lineuX seemed relieved. MoineuX told
all about his diSagreements with Cor
nish and his efforts to have the latter
Ousted from the knickerbocker club;
of how he met Miss Blanche Cheseboro
who is now his wife; of how he pre-
sented his friend Barnet to her and of
Barnets friendly attentions to her. A
letter from Miss Cheseboro to Barnet,
which has never heretofore been pub
lished, was put in evidence. Barnet
read it on his death bed. 1t contains
solicitous inquiries for his health and
eVinceS a very friendly spirit.
After the adjournment to-day Cor
nish is reported to have said:
Il want to make a straightforward
statement tomorrow without any in
terruptions, and if l am not allowed to
make il | shall appeal to the coroner"

FORCING THE FIGHTING.
President Zelaya Organizing to Suppress
the Revolution.

Managua. Nicaragua, via Galveston,
Feb. 14.-In spite of numerous obstacles,
chief among them being the want of
telegraphic communication and roads,
except mule paths between Managua
and Bluetields, President Zelaya is ac-
lively organizing to suppress the rev.
olution that has broken out on the At
lantic coast provinces. Fighting be-
tween the government troops and the
rebels under General Reyes, former
governor general Of the Atlantic coast
division and self-styled general-in- chief
of Nicaragua, probably will begin in
the tropical forests between the Cordil-
leras and Bluetelds.
The headquarters of the government
troops is at Acoyapa, a we'll chosen
strategic position near branch of the
river Segovia, beyond the divide, while
the revolutionists are reported encamp-
ed near Chile.
