Cans Rusted.

a dispatch from Hayana yesterday says:
The board of meat survey, of which Capt.
William l.. Prftcher of the Sth Infantry Is
president. found as the result of an inquiry
this afternoon that the contents of 1O,S4S
cans are unfit for human food. and has
recommended that the inspector, Col.
Reade, condemn the meat Col. Reade has
confirmed the boards finding. Other lots
will be examined tomorrow
Among the ratioDs drawn for distribution
to the destitute at La Punta relief station
are several hundred cans of spoiled meat
Inquiry with respect to them seems TO
show that since the meat was bought by
the government most of it has been stored
in damp warehouses or carried in the holds
of vessels. The cans have rusted, the air
was thus admitted and consequently the
contents soon decomposed- The meat has
probably been packed for a long time
on the other hand, quantity of bacon
canned in 1891 was found to be fresh. AT
several other relief stations tainted salmon
and spoiled tomatoes Were discovered by
the board of meat survey, and it appears
that from to per cent of the meat issued
in Cuba is bad.

matter would indicate that the commission

And Autumn smiles. as If the glory flown
Came back 10 dazzle in its Olden way:
And awakened bees, no longer loath 10

Through the warm noontide's mystic

And haunt the rays. down from the sun $

AS on some phantom lutte beguiled 70

If morning glories' pink .veined bells

For a late orioie stays the heavens to

And a wild rose burns red. Autumn, all

Thou cheatest thyself. but thou canst
