REPORT AGAINST MILES,
Beef Board Expected to Declare That
He Failed to Prove His
Charges.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-The army
court OF inquiry began the framing of
its report. While few minor matters
remained for examination, they were
not such as to affect the main issues. 1t
was regarded as certain that the court
would find that General Miles charges
that embalmed or chemically prepared
beef was sent to the army had not been
sustained. The position of the court
was believed to be that the testimony
was conclusive that both the refriger-
ated beef and the canned beef were in
good condition when delivered TO the
government and continued SO until
issued to the troops, except that portion
damaged in transportation or affected
by tropical conditions, and to these
causes Of injury and these conditions
chief causes of trouble would be at
tributed.
1t would be shown that the refriger.
ated beef, after being taken from theice
III the tropical climate, spoils quickly
unless well cared for, and that the canned
beef, after being opened, because of the
great heat, became repulsive in appear.
ance and soon unpalatable. But the
court would hold, as the result of chemi.
cal investigation by experts, that the
canned beef was wholesome and nutri.
tious. Attention would be called to the
fact that it wasused throughout the war
by our navy and was still used by the
fleet. 1t was believed that the court
would criticise those officers who have
testified that they became aware that
bad beef was issued to the troops and
who failed to report their observations
until after the war had closed.

QUAI LUoI II VOTES.
Cast Their Ballots for Is. +. Jones
for Senator.

HARRIsBUPG, April 10.-Fourteen
votes dropped away from Senator Quay
at the joint ballot for United States SEN
ator. The anti-Quay Republicans and
the followers of Senator @. L. Magee of
Pittsburg, combined and cast their votes
for b. +. Jones, of Pittsburg. The
break was started by Senator Crawford
Of Allegheny, who switched from Quay
to Jones, and was followed by Senators
Magee of Allegheny, LOsch Of SChuyl-
kill and Scott of Luzerne.
The first break from the Quay ranks
in the list of members was Mr.. CLARK, of
Washington, whose colleague, Mr.. Nc.
Laren, went with him. Mr.. Murdoch,
the third member from Washington,
remained loyal to Colonel Quay. Others
who changed from Quay to Jones were
Messrs. Hosack, Klump, McFarlane,
McWhinney, Nisbet, Robson, Shaw
and Srodes, of Allegheny.
After the announcement Of the ballot
Senator O. L. Magee, i'll speaking of his
action in breaking away from ex-Sena-
tor Quay, said:
81 believe that the Republican party
is greater than any man in it. The Re-
publicans of Pennsylvania want d sena-
tor elected, and if one is not elected
am satisfied it will mean an awful po-
litical battle this fall and possibly de-
feat. So long as there was an earnest
desire on the part of Quay to be elected,
and there was a hope of it, l remained
with him. but when his henchmen
started the cry of Quay or nobody /
thought it was time for making an ef-
fort to elect some good Republican.
Quay is an impossibility and he knows
it, just as every other citizen Of Penn
sylvania does.
81 notified him several weeks ago
that would not be party to continu-
ing deadlock, and that is the reason /
today voted for Hon. b. f. Jones of
Pittsburg. Tomorrow wednesday,
will be the last day for taking joint
ballot, and hope that between now
and then it will be possible to elect a
senator"
Insurance Commissioner Durham, the
recognized leader Of the Quay faction,
said:
"At the outside, don't believe more
than 20 members will go over to the
anti-Quay camp, including those addi-
tional ones who are expected to leave
us Wednesday,. That number can
not effect the election of a United
States senator and the Legislature will
adjourn at noon on Thursday without
having chosen successor to M. S.
Quay. We are entirely satisfied with
this result and are content to go before
the people ut the coming elections and
let them decide where lies the blame.
The ballot, which was the seventy
ninth, resulted as follows: Quay, 93
jerks, SO; Jones, 60; total, 247; neces.
sary to a choice, 1874; paired or not vot'

An American Said Mataafa Had Obeyed

Given Arms.

CHICAGO, April ia letter received
here from N. j. Moors, an American
merchant in Samoa, who for years had

related some interesting details of the
trouble in the islands.
The letter, written March 90, said:
"When / received, in advance of it's
posting, copy of the proclamation de-
cided upon by the British and American
sides and issued by Admiral Kautz,
thought it very moderate document
and one that might well be observed. 1

nuu that thought they should obey it,
and think they so intended as Null
nuu was soon deserted and the prison
ers were liberated, while the royalists
went to Tutuila for those who were up
there"
He said he sent word to Mataafa and
the chiefs that no sailors would be
landed and no guns given to tine pris-
oners.
Further along he said:
81 am sure Mataafa's followers would
have done just as Admiral Kautz
wanted and as l was advising, when
British Consul Maxse commenced arm
ing the returned prisoners and they be-
gan to boast of what they were going
to do with the assistance of the war.
ships. This news arrived when Ma.
taafa was speaking in the very midst of
a meeting in which he was dismissing
the people. At once a great number
arose, crying the weak cannot govern
the strong our slaves shall not rule us;
we will fight, and the meeting was
broken up"
He said the natives had not DESTROYED
white mems houses, while the guns of
tho British ship could be heard blasting
fortiticItions, the natives not even mo-
Testing the homes Of Guerr and Caruth-
ers, who had caused all the trouble.
He said it would take 10000 troops to
subjugate the country.
