WASHINGTON. April 1s.-When the
Wade court Of inquiry convened today Ru-
doIph K Spaear, q funeral director and
emEAimer OF Harrisburg. Pa. TESTIFIED
that he was q member Of the Fourth
Pennsylvania regiment. and served In Por-
to Rico He had paid especial attention
10 the meat issue. The cooks had found
IL necessary to cut on two or three inches
OF the refrigerator beef because Of the
xreenish discoioration.
II also noticed crystalline scales on this
meat" he said. 1T was generally IN the
joints. and IL occurred to me that some
article Ike SODA or boracsc acid had been
used ca the meat. such as enoalmers use
on human bodies when they begin TO
crack"
He bad eaten OF this meat only once and
1t made him sick.
Mr. Spicer found the canned roast beef
Shiny and disagreeabIe. Much OF 1t had
been tarown away by the men,
The official report Of DR. 3. A. Bsgelow
Of the agricultural department. who was
selected to make an investigation OF the
canned roast beef, was submitted. Mr..
Rsgeiow visited Chicago Kansas City and
Omaha with the committee, and he gave
the results OF his observations aad expert
ments upon various samples of beef used
by the packing houses ia canning. DIR.
fsigsaoW Gd1 been present WIeD Decl was
selected for canning. and he presented
numerous tables giving the results of his
Investigations
AS TO the food value OF the canned beef.
DIR. Bigeiow said he could speak only
from theoretical standpoint
He had found this hecs to contain more
protein than the same quantity of fresh
beef. On the other hand, there was q
sligEt reduction Of caloridc power and
stimuIatira qualities Considering THAI
food for the muscles was the great con-
sideration in the tropics, he thought the
canned beef would be most appropriate
food. 1t should be used. however, in con-
nectien with native fruits. rice or potatoes
TO supply starch, and IL would he well TO
add extract for stimulation
Dr. Bigeiow was questioned by Col. Da-
Wis at length with the view Of counteract-
ing the effect OF the testimony of Drs.
Brady, currfe and others whose testi-
mony had declared that chemicals had
been used In the preservation Of the meat
supplied TO the army. The witness said
he had examined both the refrigerator and
canned roast beef, and had found no evil
denee OF the use of preservatiyes in either
He said he had never known formaldehyde
10 be used as q preservatiye of meat, but
1t Vas a powerful gerTntciie.

sorship. Great excitement prevailed Tues
day at Cape Town, where it was report
ed that the Beers had occupied Laing's
Mex.
There is nothing to soften the war
spirit Of recent dispatches. Neither is
there anything to show that the authorl-
ties at Pretoria have any desire to come
to terms peacefully with Great Britain.
Had the Beers not determined to fight 1t
out or if they were not prepared for hos
tilities they would, it is thought, have
sent some pacifcatory answer to Great
Britain's message. 1t is said that the
colonial office received an important dis
patch from Sir Alfred Miner, British
high commissioner for South Africa,
Monday, the contents of which, however,
were not made public.
The London Daily Chronicle says that
it has reason to believe that the mobiliza-
ton of naval brigade is contemplated.
A statement that DR.. Jim Jameson has
been seen in Matableland raising corps
to defend Rhodesia is published without
comment. The Post says: What are we
waiting for? is the question every one is
asking, but cannot answer The Chron-
icle says: "It is on all hands admitted
that from military point of view the
Beers are and must for long time re-,
main masters of the situation The
Standard says: "The situation is full of
danger, and no one will be surprised to
hear all further talk of peace rendered
futile by a collision between the Beers
and the imperial troops, or by some hasty
raid across the frontier"
An advertisement appeared in London
Tuesday morning announcing the forma-
ton of corps of rough riders, patterned
after Roosevelt's rough riders, for SER
vice in South Africa.
Advices from Charlestown, Natal, via
Cape Town, say that eighty members Of
the Orange Free State Artillery, with six
Guns, have arrived at Volksrust, in the
Transvaal, near the Natal border. The
officials at Charlestown have received in
structions from the colonial secretary to
remain absolutely still and offer no resist
ance. No women have been left in Volks
rust, and the natives are leaving Charles
town. Gen. Joubert, the vice president
of the South African republic and COM
mander-in-chief of the Transvaal forces,
arrived at Volksrust Monday.
1t is believed that the following crush
ing demands on the Transvaal were de-
cided upon at the British cabinet meet
ing: Indemnity to Great Britain for the
cost of sending out troops to South At
RIGA; the dismantling Of the Boer forts !;
the suppression of the Leyds legation in
Europe; the independence of the judi
ciary; the equality Of the English and
Dutch languages in the volksraad, and
the complete admission of British suzer-
ainty. The feeling in London Monday
was that nothing short of miracle could
prevent war.

Allen also telegraphed to Boston to pre-
pare the Bancroft for sea Immediately.
The Machias and Marietta will also be
ordered to start for Manila in the course
of week or two, and probably the Ann

The orders, it is officially explained, are
due to Admiral Dewey's advice that ev-

from other duty be added to Watson's
feet. with the view of crushing out the
rebellion as rapidly as possible. He thinks
this can be quickly accomplished with
the increased army force soon to be as

fcient naval force to secure rigid block
ade, and if there is energetic cooperation
between the sea and land forces.

Sword Voted by Congress Presented
to Admiral Dewey.
The presentation to Admiral Dewey of
the magnificent sword voted to MIN by
Congress took place at noon Tuesday on
the steps of the capitol at Washington.
Tremendous crowds attended the event
and the widest enthusiasm was mani
tested. Accompanied by an escort Of POI
lice and committeeman and headed by the
Marine band, the admiral was driven to
the White House through cheering
crowds. His progress was slow and ne
repeatedly bowed and smiled his acknow-
edgment of the greetings given him. Dur
ing the parade the avenue rang with
deafening cheers, and the banks of hui
mainly took on life and motion as flags
and handkerchiefs were waved madly. At
the capitol the ceremonies were singu-
larry impressive. The presentation
speech was made by Secretary Long.
who paid glowing tribute to the man
who to-day fills the hearts and minds or
his countrymen.
