REPORTS ON THE BEEF
Officers Generally Condemned That Issued
to the Army.
Their Statements Read Before the
Court Of Inquiry by Mai.
Lee Yesterday.

Having decided at the forenoon session
yesterday to accept as evidence the official
reports of officers of the army the beef in
Quiry court devoted Itself to listening 10
the reading of those reports. They were
read by Major Lee the representative of
General Miles, who had presented about
80 of the 147 of them when the court ad-
journed for the day. The reports were gen.
orally brief statements of the personal ex-
perience of the officers or summaries OF the
opinions Of the men under them. They
bore almost exclusively on the canned beef,
but there were occasional references to the
refrigerated beef.
The officers generally condemned the
meat as a component part Of the soldiers
ration. The complaints were that It was
strtngy and tough. and in many instances
1t was stated that it made the men sick,
and IN others that hungry though they
were generally, they threw 1t away rather
than eat IT. In some cases. however the
officers reported that they had heard no
complaints Of the meat.
A Miserable Apology for Food.
Brigadier General Vie,e pronounced the
canned beef "a miserable apology for
food"
A large number Of reports were made
from officers of the 1st Cavalry, among
these the following:
Major James NJ. Bell-"It is better than
no beef, but l cannot recommend 1t as a
component Of the field ration"
Lieutenant Ciough Overton-"It is an un-
desirable portion of the travel ration"
Major w. Scott heard no complaint
of the canned roast beef"
Lieutenant j. ID. L. Hartman thought The
corned beef preferable to the canned beef.
Lieutenant r. c. Williams-''The beef
when not cooked was unpaatable, but rs
an occasional substitute for bacon IL was
acceptable"
Lieutenant Walter M whitman-"The
prolonged issue of the beef on the transport
was injurious to the men,"
Lieutenant NJ. f. Davis considered the
beer as of poor quality, and said he had
round four maggots cooked with the beef
in the cans while on the field at Quasimas.
Lieutenant H. ID. Berkeey-"No more un-
palatable article of food could be issued"
Lieut.. w. c. Rivers-"It was an insult
able article of food
Lieut.. E. S. Wright-"It was a distinct
failure"
Lieut. Col. w. A. Rafferty, of the I'd Cav
airy stated that he agreed with the report
of his commissary officer, who pronounced
the beef non-nutritive, and said the men
soon tired of it. A large number of officers
In this regiment pronounced a similar YER
dict, including Lieut.. w. z. NJ Leary W.
II. Paine and w. F. Clarke
Capt S. S. Faulkes thought Ii inferior to
corned beef
Major Jackson of the Sd Cavalry pro-
nounced the quality of the beef used in
canning poor. 1t had served very well in
hashes, but as a separate article of food It
was nauseating.
