to resort to artificial preservatives. That
they possessed and intended to use chem
ical appliances is evidenced beyond ques-
ton.
The serious and injurious effect on the
troops that were compelled TO receive and
use those two classes of food or suffer in
consequence of not having wholesome
food, is as apparent as any well-estab-
lshed fact, but the extent of such injury
upon the health and lives of the troops
cannot well be measured.
while our troops were thus deprived of
wholesome food many parties were ready
to supply them at all times and in all
camps in this country and on foreign sta
ton with any number of cattle.
We believe these facts have been es-
tabhshed beyond question, and we believe
that a great fraud has been perpetrated
upon the government and a great crime
committed upon its soldiers; and as to the
party or parties who have committed this
offense, and whether the evidence should
be referred to the judicial officers of the
government in order that justice shall be
done, are matters that we leave to the
consideration of your honorable court

Gov. AtI<InsOn's Part.
The part former Gov, Atkinson took in
trying to induce the mob to allow the law
to take its course in dealing with Sam
Hose has been one of the most commented
upon features of the case. There have
been reports here of all sorts of indignl-
ties shown to the Ex-Governor when he
was making his speech from the court
house steps by the mob. These reports
go al. the way from saying that he was
kicked off the steps to the act of one
member of the mob in leveling a pistol at
his heart 90 shoot him. unless he should
desist in his speech. The Ex-Governor
sent the following telegraphic statement
of the part he took this afternoon:
In my speech to the mob / endeavore1
to persuade its members 90 leave the case
20 the courts. | told them that no one
was more deeply interested than myself
in the protection of our homes, lives and
women, and that no one of them was
more determined than to see to ii that
the brute who had committed murder and
rape should be punished, but urged that
the case be left TO the court, promising
that there would be a session called at
once and quick trial given.
Sent Them Away From Newman.
when It was evident that this would not
be waited for and that immediate and
summary punishment was determined
upon, and that we did NOT have the power
to thwart this purpose / determined that
it should not be done In the midst of our
homes here in the city. To accomplish
this, ] advised that if the crowd was de-
termined to lynch him, the negro be taken
before the Crawford family near Palmetto
that they might Identify him before fvio-
lence was done him, and / said 10 the mob
that if he was lynched here I would see
1t and testify in court to what saw. To
this argument the crowd yelled and we
avoided having the terrible scene enacted
in our court house square, as we had
feared, 10 the terror and horror Of the wo-
men and children.

United States Does Not Like ia

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
Kingston, Jamaica, April 1S.-Jamaica' S
troubles over the proposed new tariff do
not end with the modus vivendi reached
representatives. On Friday the matter as
sumed another and in some respects grav-
er aspect, when United States Consul Dent
called on the colonial secretary and an
nounced that his government was not fa7
vorably impressed with the tariff scheme
in so far as it affected the islands imports
from the United States, and that if it was
persisted in some sort of retaliatory meas
ure would be adopted.
The colonial secretary refers inquirers
to the United States consul for Informal
ton, stating merely that Mr.. Dent on
behalf of the Washington government
made certain representation 10 the colon
ial government ON the subject OF the tar
if bill, which is, howeV after for
settlement between the { sle,. govern
ments.
Mr.. Dent says he has ma certain rep
reservations to the Governor, and fur
nished him with a copy of the instructions
received from his government. but that he
cannot disclose their character. He adds,
however, that the representations were
not in the nature of a protest, but simply
an intimation of how his government re-
garded this tariff.
There is only one thing on which the
United States can impose effective retail
alton. This is the fruit exports, and leg
islation against fruit would mean not i'm
probably the permanent ruin of the colony
lndustrially.

AGAINST HIS APPOINTMENT.
Naval Opposition to the Promotion
of Col. MILLER.

Washington, April 4-Capt. G. f. F.
Wilde U. S. N. of the U. s. s. Boston,
has protested against the promotion of
Col. Miller to be a brigadier general as a
reward for the capture of Iioilo.
1t appears that this capture was effected
entirely by naval forces under the com
mand Of Capt. Wilde, and that II was not
until after the capture had been effected
that the place was turned over 10 Col. Mill
Ter, who up TO that time had had nothing
TO do with It's capture.
This action is endorsed by Admiral
Dewey. Capt Wide's protest comes too late
to be effective. as Col. Miller was pro-
NOTED brgadier general Feb. IS in recog-

shots at the Petrel, which vessel was an

Army Transports Way on.
At this time, according to naval advices.
Gen. Mlller's army transports were far out
in the roadstead. Without communicating
with Gen. Miller, the two warships opened
fire on the shore batteries ana soon siIenced
them. Lieut.. Niblack of the Boston landed
with a battalion of marines and sailors,
and took possession of the town
They captured the insurgent flags on the
governors house and on the batteries. and
turned the city over to Gen. Miller on
his arrival an hour or so later They kept
the captured flags. however. in spite of
Gen. Mlllers demand for them. This Is
the naval story of the battle Of Ilono.
The official report of that engagement
first received in Washington was made
by Gen. Miller to the war department, and
simply announced the surrender of that
city to the American forces under his
command without going into particulars.
Acting upon this report and In view OF
the fact that Gen. Miller had but a few
weeks more to serve on the active list the
President appointed him to a vacancy

erals. He Is now on his way home from
Manila. and is expected to reach San
Francisco in a few days.

CUBANs EXPECT $4,000. 900.
Think the United States Will Advance
that Sum to the Army.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16-According to Brig
Gen. Jose Miguel Gomez, a member of the
Cuban commission now in Washington, the
Cuban army is sure to receive the three
years pay to which it is entitled, $4,000, 900
being advanced by the United States, with
the custom houses Of Cuba as security for
its repayment. Brigadier General Gomez,
who has just arrived in this city from
Washington, is grateful for what the com
mission has received. The negotiations, it is
expected, will be completed by the end of
this month, when the commission will re-
turn to Cuba. General Gomez last night
said: "Our hopes have all been realized. At
first, however, things looked very dark for
us. Poor General Garcia was the most pes
simistic member of the commission. He had
little hope for the success of our plans when
he left for Washington The rest of the
commission argued, however, that as the
Americans had taken charge of Cuba and
thus prevented us from raising money, we
had right to request a loan with which
tc pay off our men.
General Garcia asked for only 500 for
each man. The other commissioners pro-
tested because of the small amount. Then
came the generals death, and for the time
being negotiations were suspended. At our
list of the men in the army would be re-
quired before any agreement could be
reached. Accordingly 1 left for Cuba,
whence L returned on Jan. with the re-
quired document. There are 1900 men
to be paid in the Cuban army. The amount
we have requested is $40OO00O0 to be turned
over to us either in one or three payments.
We will give security the custom houses
in Cuba. Should the government not care
to lend us that sum, we are willing to take
one-third of it and later pay the men the
rest. AS affairs now stand, however, think
we will receive the amount in three pay
ments. This however, is not decided yet.
The late Mr.. Dingley was in favor of giving
us the amount in one payment"
Speaking of the present condition of af-
fairs in Havana, General Gomez said it was
bad. There appears to be much disagree
n.ent among the American officials" contin-
ued he, 'and no one seems to know what his
power is. Some one gives an order and the
next man countermands it. AS a result the
government of Havana is not as smooth as
it might De. General Brooke however, is
well liked, and the Cubans are more than
willing TO help him. General Ludlows or
ders preventing the Cubans from taking
any part in the evacuation parade caused
a great deal Of i'll feeling. This is done
away with now, and there need be no fear
of clash between the Cubans and the
Americans. The American soldiers in Cuba
are a fine set of men, and do not give any
trouble. We are done with war and want
peace, but, nevertheless we would never
tolerate the condition of affairs which is
reported to exist in Porto Rico"
