THAT "EMBALMED BEEF"
It VIII BE Thoroughly Investigated
by the War Board,

~
by the War Board.
Washington, Jan. 4.-The war investl-
eating commission has decided to make
a thorough investigation Of the conf
plants made about the beef furnished
the army in the expeditionary cam
paigns. Summons was made yesterday
for the appearance before the commits
sion next Friday of Major DAILY, the
chief surgeon at the army Eeadquar-
ters at Tampa prior to the departure
of the ShafIer expedition, who made
vigorous report, forwarded by General
Miles, in condemnation Ut the beef.
The Swift Packing company, of Chi
cago will be heard next Monday in
defense of these supplies.
The board decided to go into the in
vestigation exhaustively. All the rec
ords will be carefully examined, wit
nesses will be summoned, and when
ever possible afildavits will be obtained
in support of testimony. General Miles
will undoubtedly be summoned, as well
as other army officers conversant with
the facts. The general of the army
is very complaccnt over the matter.
The 100000 pounds of refrigerator
beef arrived at Ponce the very day the
protocol was signed. The amount of
fresh meat, it Is stated, would have
furnished rations for the American
troops then on the island for SO days
But, it is added, had 1t been landed
It could not have been kept. There
was barely enough ice In Ponce to sup
ply the hospitals. Had the beef baen
landed almost the entire quantity, the
general of the army holds, must in
evitably have spoiled.
1t Is believed the work of the board
will consume the greater portion of two
weeks. possiblY longer.

CLIFFORD GETS A STAY.
Must Be Resentenced by tho Court
Before His Execution.

Must Be Resentenced by tho Court
Before His Execution.
Trenton, Jan. 4.-Justice Van Syckle,
of the supreme court. late this after
noon filed an opinion. in which Justices
Depue and Lppincott concur, holding
to be illegal the death warrant issued
by Acting Governor Watkins for the
execution of Edward Clifford on Fri
day of this week for the murder of Su-
perintendent Watson, of the West
Shore railroad, in Hoboken about two
years ago. The death warrant is de-
clared illegal on the grounds that the
fixing of date for an execution is d
judicial, and not an executive func-
tion, except where the date is fixed as
an incident to a governors constitu-
tional right to grant reprieve for q
period not exceeding 80 days from the
date of the sentence of the prisoner
by the court. The death warrant is
sued in Clifford's case was not issued
in connection with reprleve. but after
the case had been carried to the fed
eral courts and date Of execution
fixed by the trial court had elapsed.
Under this decision Clifford will have to
be resentenced by the court.

Pasmerston and Religion.

The most methodical of men in all
things which were to him business, he was
as careless as the younger Pitt himself in
his private money affairs. 1t Is a perfect
ly true story that a London tradesman--
believe coach builder--exssperated BY
his customers neglect, actually took steps
toward putting an execution into Cam
bridge House.
One Of the best rejoinders ever credited
to Palmerston, which I happen to know
to be authentic, must close these Palmer
stoniana. Always vain of his appearance
and proud Of his bellies fortunes, he never
quite gave up his f1irtations with young
married ladies. demonstrating with him
on this habit, one Of his devout relatives,
lady, began by describing 1t as ungentle-
manly; 1t was also, she said, contrary to
all religion; finally, she urged, "it can
never answer"
Then came the incorrigible reply Of the
gay veteran: Gas to the first point, that ia
question OF opinion. think 1t most
gentlemsnly. As to religion, admit the
practice OF the churches differs. As to its
not answering, your ladysh:p misappre-
hends tho facts, for it never fails. -

Advises Against tDlsbandingt the Cuban
Army Until Paid.
Havana, Jan. 4.-General Maxine
Gomez, from his camp, 200 miles vest
ward, near Narcisco. has addressed q
proclamation to the Cuban army adj
vising against disbanding until the pro-
ceedings at Washington regarding the
pay of the insurgent troops have been
completed. 1t Is dated Dec. 20 and is in
part as follows:
''The moment has arrived to give q
public explanation Of my conduct and
my purpose, which are always in ac-
cord with my sense Of duty to the
country / serve. The Americans, tac-
itly our allies, have terminated the war
with Spain and signed a treaty OF
peace. ! believed 1t was my duty not
to move. for any political or other OBJ
ject, from the spot where had drawn
my sword, 50 long as the enemies OF
the army had not completely evacu-
ated the island. ~
"The period of transition Is termi-
mated: the army Of the enemy Is aband-
oning the country; the sovereignty OF
the great United States is beginning.
as stipulated in the protocol, over all
the island. But Cuba is not yet free
or independent Self government Is not
yet constituted. For that reason we
must dedicate ourselves to bringing
about the disappearance Of the causes
for American Intervention.
But above everything else. In the
spirit of justice to the Cuban army.
1t is necessary that before the liberators
of the people can dissolve, as guar
antee Of order, that the debt which the
country owes to Its soldiers should be
satisfied. Awaiting this result, re-
main in my present position. always
ready to help the Cubans finish the
work to which l have dedicated my

AxalnaIao.s Gifts to Dewey,

The Chicago Record, SIS filed with pres.
ents from his admirers, including souve-
Mrs of all Kinds. Some of the most beau
tiful Of these are presents from Agu!nal-
do. The dictator has the greatest admira-
tion and respect for Dewey and has sin
gular habit Of making an elaborate gift
to the admiral whenever tho latter calls
him down.
"That accounts largely for the number
Of Aguinaldo presents that adorn the cab.
In. In all the dealings Admiral Dewey
has had with Aguinaldo he has treated
him with tho greatest courtesy when cour-
tesy was called for, and with the greatest
severity when 1rnness was tho thing;
but, in spite Of the rebuffs, Aguinaldo's
notes accompanying the presents invaria-
bly, refer to the admiral as my honorable
and illustrious friend'

as it exists at q time when there Is an un-
usually heavy demand for them. Many Of
the oysters which are sold here come from

oyster beds Of the Bay are faillng to supply

The result Is that Wilmington dealers are

orders, or to buy in sufficient quantities.
Prices have been run up because OF these

The scarcity is caused by the slight at
