Samples of the Testimony Given by the
Witnesses. &fz&s,
The first witness of : the day was
Colonel William H. Powell Of the Sew
enth infantry, which saw service IN the
Santiago campaign. After the fall Of
Santiago his regiment was quartered
in the city and he received many re-
quests from his men for money to buy
stuff to eat. He investigated the So
called canned roast beef and had some
OF it served at his table. ~, tilt
II could not eat it, he continued.
cit was stringy, unwholesome looking
mass. more like wet sea weed than any
thing else I can think of. The men
We're sick and debilitated and could not
keep it on their stomachs. We had at
that time 1852 sick Soon after that the
fresh beef began to arrive and the men
ate readily and began to pick up in
health. Afterward were moved out of
camp near the San Juan battlefield.
Here much of our meat spoiled before
we could get it. 80! s,,.s,,. D." +
Canned Beef All the Time.
| Lieutenant Colonel Charles D. Viele
of the First cavalry, another officer of
the regular army who had been through
the Shafter campaign, followed with a
long recital of his experience with
canned roast beef. He declared his
regiment had nothing else on the trans.
port going over, while in Cuba and on
the trip back. He said it gave no salts.
faction and much of it was thrown
away. Regarding the refrigerator beef
he said he ate some once-that was
enough for him. - 80 s#&:.~ E ~
Brigadier General Hawkins was next
called. He said he knew little about
the beef question, although he ha6
heard complaints against the quality a
various times. Il %%
Other witnesses were Captain Duncan
of the Twenty first infantry, Captain
Hughes of the Thirteenth infantry, Cap
tain Ennis of the Fourth artillery, Gen
eral Sumner, Major Lee Of the Ninth
infantry and Captain jackson of tn
Seventh infantry. All declared tn,
canned beef nauseating, but found littl
fault with the refrigerated article.

viewed complaints about it which the
men very generally made, declaring it
unpalatable and wanting in nutriment
On the other hand, the refrigerated beef
suffered but little. at, the hands of the

coded that it was

and when it escaped the decomposing
effects Of the tropical sun en- route to
the several commands it was found to
be satisfactory. General c6mmissary
methods in Cuba were inquired into.
Difficulty in preventing faint before
cooking was experienced generally.
There was very little in the evidence
pointing to any use of chemicals upon
this beef. The contention Of General
Miles that the army in Cuba and Porto
Rico should have been supplied with
herds of cattle or beef on the hoof in
stead of refrigerated beef was supported
by every witness who gave his opinion
upon this question. A
Feature of the Examinations W., {.
was the general assertion Of witnesses
that they would not have made any
special report upon the beef had it not
been for the special orders calling for
such reports, but rather would have
permitted the unsatisfactory ration to
pass without further notice as an Incl
dent to warfare and to the peculiarly
trying conditions with which the army
was confronted at the outbreak Of the
war. A number of officers testified to
the; belief that very small proportion
of sickness in Cuba was due to the beet
or unwholesome rations, but rather tc
the climate. @
