tionS made Of the keeping quality of the
canned fresh beef. the court concludes
that lin no case did the number Of
swelled or tainted cans discovered
81 aatly exceed in amount Of per cent.
OF the entire number examined
Several pages Of the report are de-
voted to the to the consideration of
allegation made by Gen. Miles that the
refrie nratoi beef was treated with pre-
scryatives, but the statement is made
upon the threshold of this question
that but little testimony was submit
ted by him III support Of This contention.
The Inference drawn by the court from
the absence of such testimony is ad-
verse to the existence Of the practice
alleged 10 prevail by the major general
commanding.
Attention is then called 70 the fact
that the testimony bearing upon the
Standardization Of beef deals with II
only at the time of its issuance to the
troops. and an analysis Of this testi-
mony is made with the result OF show
ing considerable difference of view as
as to the substances used and the
mode Of their application
Considerable attention is given Ia Dr..
Daly's testimony concerning the re-
frigerated beef on the transport Ia
mama and also to his report concerning
the beef supplied to the immunes sta
toned at Chickamauga. Referring 10
the doctors analysis of resduum from
beef secured on the transport, the
court calls attention to the fact that
he approved the finding Of the board Of
survey and Notwithstanding there
were other medical officers on board,
no reference was made BY him 70 his
suspicion that the meat had been
chemically treated. Referring to this
and to another incident. the court
says:
The testimony shows that the beef
treated by the Powell process, which
was declared by DIR. DAILY u contain
boric ana salicylic acids, was, in fact,
treated by fumigation and the ma
terals employed contained neither bo-
ric nor salicylic acids. The beef from
which the broth was made on the Pa
mama has not been positively identified
as refrigerated beef. and the connec-
ton between the residuum of the sam
pie taken from the ship cauldron and
that analyzed by Dir. Clark has no.
been established to the satisfaction Of
the court"
A chapter of the report is devoted to
the consideration Of the cause Of the
sickness in the army in the Santiago
campaign. but the court finds it i'm
possible to conclude that either the
| canned fresh beef or refrigerated beef
appeared to any appreciable extent as
causes of intestinal disease
Speaking Of the ration as a whole
the court says: ''As to the effects of the
food supply. having regard to both suf-
ficiency and quality. it seems to be
