WASHINGTON, Mar 2-There were
several interesting developments in the
beef court of inquiry to-day. 1t was a
field day for the volunteer arm of the
service, the waiting room being filled
all day with members of the various
volunteer regiments which served in
Cuba and Porto Rico The first of these,
Clarence Walters of the First Volunteer
Engineers, told a sensational story of
hardship and inhumanity suffered dur
ing his service. describing the canned
roast beef in harsher terms than have
ever been applied to that much dis
cussed article
Later in the day Lieutenant Sewell,
U. S. A., who was Major of the volun-
teer battalion in which Walters served,
contradicted his story completely, say
ing there was no canned roast beef
aboard the transport which took the
command to Porto Rico. Further than
that, he said Walters had come to him
after landing and asked to be dis
charged, SO as to accept position as
newspaper correspondent, and on being
questioned said that he had been we'll
treated while in the service and had no
complaint to make.
An important development was the
denial of the story by one Jas. Farnan,
and also attributed to DR.. Maxwell
Christine of Philadelphia. that they had
seen beef injected with chemicals in an
Omaha packing house. DR.. Christine
explained that what he had seen was
the picking of corned meats. the brine
being injected into the meat to save
several weeks time in the picking
value.
The question of counsel for General
Miles before the court is still in abey-
ance, some correspondence having
passed between the General and court
but both sides decline to give out the
letters till settlement is reached. Cen
eral Miles has not asked to be repre-
sented by counsel, presumably because
that would put him in the position of
admitting himself on trial by the court.
which up to date he has declined to
admit On the other hand. the court
does not feel able under the articles of
war to permit Major Lee or anyone
else to cross question witnesses unless
he can be recognized officially as coun-
sci for the defense. 1t was stated that
this matter probably will be settled to-
morrow.
The court expects to start West Tues
day or Wednesday of next week.

A Filipino Lie Nailed.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The War
Department officials pronounce absurd
the characteristic Filipino Junta story
to the effect that Aguinaldo has taken
several hundred American soldiers
prisoners and removed them to the in
terror. AS matter of fact, General
Otis bulletins have accounted for every
man in the American army at Manila,
and there is not on record a single
case of missing. Secretary Alger has
brought the report to the attention Of
General Otis, with a view of securing
the most specific denial.

BERLIN, March I'm his address
to the naval recruits yesterday at Will

them to emulate the example of the
officers and crew of the Hamburg

terrible experience. He drew a dis
tinction between pagan and Christian
courage. THE difference" said his

Bulgaria was a splendid example of
this courage, and the deserts of her

the achievement been buried in OBJ
