ARMY OFFICERS REPORTS
Denounce the Canned Roast Beef 81
UNIT For Food.

Denounce the Canned Roast Beef as
UNIT For Food.
Washington, April 15.-The beef in
vestigators held a session last night
which was devoted to reading reports
from officers who served in the Cuban
campaign. The reports are practically
unanimous in condemning the canned
roast beef as unfit for an army ration,
some of the structures upon it being
couched in emphatic terms. Captain
]. f. Huston, Twentieth infantry, re-
ported he had heard canned roast beef
compared to "the vomit of a dog"
while other officers stated that 1t was
malodorous, unfit for human food, un-
palatable and tasteless. In some in
stances the men refused from the very
first to eat it. Other officers report
that while eaten at first their com
mands soon rejected it, preferring any
other food
Regarding the refrigerated beef, the
reports were in a measure conflicting
Some of the officers declared that it
was in the main received in very fair
condition, and while sometimes an
issue was tainted when received by the
men they were inclined to believe
that was due to the distance 1t had to
be hauled in the hot sun. Other Off
GERS we're unequivocal in condemning
the refrigerated beef, declaring whole
issues of it had to be buried because
of the bad condition in which 1t was
received.
Captain F. M. Bean, of the Pennsyl-
vania artillery was before the COM
mittee in the afternoon. He testified
that refrigerated beef served in Porto
Rico had to be buried. The canned
roast beef made the men sick.

THE CUBAN ARMY ROLLS.
They Contain $4,000 Names. Inclu,

They Contain AZ 200 Names. Includ-
Ing 5000 Commissioned Ofncers.
Havana, April t5.-The Cuban army
muster rolls, which we're delivered
Thursday evening to Governor General
Brooke through Senior Domingo Men
dez Gapote, are prepared in neat cler-
ical style. the 200 broad sheets show
ing on their face $4,000 names-6,0 900
commissioned officers and $4,000 non
commissioned officers and privates.
The whole settlement is in orderly ar
rangemeut of corps regiment, battal-
ion and company scores.
The United States military authori-
ties make no attempt to reconcile the
$4,000 non-cOmmissioned officers and
privates indicated by these rolls with
the 1929 given in the estimates pre-
pared under the direction of the pro-
vincial governors AS a matter of fact,
since the American figures we're pub
lished it has developed that they were
in some respects misleading. For in
stance, in the province of Santiago,
General Leonard Wood, the governor,
reported that there were no Cubans in
arms. At headquarters here this was
taken to mean that there were no Gu
ban soldiers organized; but General
Wood really meant that there were no
Cuban soldiers in regular camps, the
practice being for the Cuban soldiery
to separate, going to their homes, and to
come together fortnightly with their
arms for review, dispersinga again after
ward. Consequently for the province
of Santiago alone some thousands must
be added to the American figures.
Moreover, additional thousands must
be eliminated from the Cuban lists be-
cause the men represented are now in
official employ. Nevertheless, there is
a wide difference between the American
estimates and the assembly's lists. The
Americans will scrutinize the latter
carefully and when the payments be-
gin the individuals named must be
identified by the various company cap
tains.

Friehtful Cruelty to Convicts.

Victoria, B. c., April ia letter
received by resident of this city
from Wellington, N. a., gives details
of frightful cruelties to which the un-
happy convicts in the French penal set
tlement of New Caledonia are subject
ed by the officials in charge, throwing
into the shade the worst abuses of the
old convict settlements in Australia.
So outrageous has the treatment of
prisoners been, and so great sym
pathy for them been evoked, that for
eign vessels have aided the wretches
in making their escape to such an ex-
tent that no less than 80 have got
away in the last month.
