Ing resolutions were adopted:
We hold that the policy known as

toward militarism, an evil from which ii
mas been our glory TO be free We re
greet that 1t has become necessary In the
land of Washington and Lincoln to re-
afiirm that all men, of whatever race oil
Color are entitled to life, liberty an6
me pursuit of happiness. We maintain
tnal governments derive their just pow
~ from the consent of the governed We
insist that the subjugation of any peo-
pie IS criminal aggression aud open dis
loyalty TO the distinctive principles OF
our government
4, we earnestly condemn the policy OF
the present national administration in the
fhillppines 1t seeks to extinguish the
spirit OF l776 in those islands We de-
pore the sacrifice of our soldiers and
sailors whose bravery deserves admira-
tion even in an unjust war. We de-
hounee the slaughter of the Filipinos as
needless horror. We protest against
the extension of American sovereignty
by Spanish methods.
Ne demand the immediate cessation
OIL the war against liberty, begun by
spain and continued by US. We urge
that congress be promptly convened to
announce to the Filipinos our purpose to
concede TO them the independence for
which they have so long fought and
which of right is theirs

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Dr. Daily,
whose report to General Miles was an
important factor in starting the beef
investigation. testified at length before
the army board of inquiry. In the
course Of his testimony he claimed to
have been misquoted by the war inves-
tigating commission in the statement
given to the press.
Speaking Of the beef on the transport
Panama, which the troops could not
eat. he said he was satisfied that the
beef had been chemically prepared
that it had been embalmed in fact.
After his reports had gone in, he had.
in order to satisfy his own mind, made a
chemical test of residuum from beef
used on the Panama. and had found
distinct evidence of the presence Of
boric and salicylic acids. He then re-
ferred again to the report of the COM
mission. in which reference had been
made to the use Of these drugs. the in
timation being that trace of them
would not be injurious. Replying. DR..
Daily asserted that the chemicals were
detrimental to health and could only be
used at the peril of those taking them.

cans and the appearance of the food
and the odor emitted nauseated him.
.Our men. both at Porto Rico and
Cuba, seemed to be in excellent spirits
and the presence Of the regiments has
had an excellent effect on the natives.
In Porto Rico the people are divided
into three classes-pro-Spanish auton
omists represent about Is per cent OF
the population. but they are preaching
the doctrine that islanders have only
changed one taskmaster fer another
and that the Americans are fully a!
tvrannical as the Spaniards.
The pro-Spanish recognize the i'm

ment, and the annexationists naturall,

there is enough discomfort to warran
the belief of trouble at any time.
