DR. sENN's TESTIMONY.
A Physician VINO Nerved in Cuba and Porto
Rico lays Canasd Beef Was Not
KCaSteJ, but BoHed.

Chicago, March 22.-Before the beef
inquiry court yesterday DR.. Nicholas
Sem, Of Chicago, who served in Cuba
and Porto Rico, testified that the
troops in Cuba lived largely on canned
roast beef and bacon. He had every
reason to believe that the canned beef
was not roasted, Tut boiled. II was
tasteless and certainly appeared to
lack nutritious qualities, as was
apparent from the condition of
the men who returned from Cuba to
Mon tauk-men who had never been
H. but were greatly emaciated- He
believed that the meat was overdone-
that there was some fault in the pro-
cess of PreparatiOn-that the process
has not been perfected. The bacon
was Of good quality He could say
nothing about refrigerator beef be
cause he did not see any Of II in
Cuba or Porto Rico. He made no
formal inspection Of the canned
roast beef, but had eaten some Of
il and his statements were based on
his own experience. The meat was
evidently good meat-was of good
quality, but, as stated before, was
not properly PREPAREDNESS over
cooked. He thought one Of the meat
supplies Of the future for the army
should be dried beef. Men could be
fed once or twice a week on canned
roast beef without i'll effect on their
health, but as a daily ration for any
length of time he would not consider
It a safe or advisable ration. When
the packers learn how to make real
roast beef he thought il would be an
excellent thing, but not as an exclu-
sive ct.

BATTLE NEAR ILOILO.
Insurgents Attack Battalion OF the Eight
zenith InfantFy and Are RsPulsed
with Heavy LOSES.

New York, March GA dispatch TO
the New York Herald from IlOilO, is
land of Pany, saws: A battalion Of
the Eighteenth infantry, a platoon
of the Sixth artillery and the machine
gun battery made a reconnaissance in
the direction of Mandurriao and Santa
Barbara Thursday. While they were
returning the insurgents attacked the
OutpOsts on the right. Although IA
tigued from marching in the brOiling
sun for two hours, the entire command
proceeded to the assistance Of their
comrades, the artillery pouring shell
and shrapnel upon the insurgents who
were strongly intrenched in large
number Gen. Miller was on the
scene early and directed the operations
from behind the fighting line The
line advanced by rushes 1000 yards
under a hot Ere, pouring in deliberate
vOlleys upon the enemy's position, the
artillery making good practice. By
the time the forces were all with
in 500 yards of the final position
darkness fell, preventing the charge,
for which the Tennessee men and
the com panies of the Eighteenth
on the right had already prepared by
fixing bayOnets. The retirement upon
JarO was accomplished in good order.
The severity Of the engagement may
be judged by the fact that the Eight
zenith regiment alone used 90, 500
rounds OF ammunition. 1t is estimated
that the insurgents, with more than
%, 600 rifles, used more than dOubl our
total Of ammunition
1t Is impossible to tell accurately the
insUrgent losses, as the American
troops cOnverged at a given point with
out travsrsjng the ground shot over,
but on the day after the battle 1 could
see, from JarO belfry, the enemy cart
ing away the dead The minimum es-
innate Of their losses is 200 killed and
800 wounded.
