THE BEEF BOARD
 STILL AT WORK The Time Clause Explained by
 Capt. Davis. DIFFERED FROM GEN. PAGAN Said That the Contract Provided That the Beef Should Keep Seventy-Two Hours After Being Removed
 From the Refrigerator
DIFFERED FROM GEN. PAGAN

Washington March 2S-The army beef inquiry board examined number of wit nesses at it's forenoon session today, but devoted the afternoon to executive busi- ness The two principal witnesses were Captain George Davis, of the commissary- generals office, and MT. Morris, the senior member of the Chicago firm of Morris & Co.,, beef canners. Captain Davis is the author of the time limit clause in the con- tract with Swift 6 Co.,, and his interpre- tation of the clause differed somewhat from that of General Eagan, arousing some in- terest on this account. MT. Morris stated that his firm had sold directly compara- lively little canned beef to the government, but that considerable of it had been sold first to another house, ana by it sold to the army. Three witnesses from Florida testified as to the quality of the beef sup piled the troops at Lakeland, all declaring it to be good.
 ' Captain Davis was the first witness of the day. He stated that he was employed in the office of the commssary- general, and that he was there when the contract with Swift & Co. was drawn. Under the in- structions of Commissary-General Eagan, he had formulated the portion of the con- tract relating to refrigerators on shore. He had told the commissary general what he desired to have put in.
 "He explained to me-" said Captain Da- wis. that 1t was desired to have the clause with reference to the time that the beef was to keep after coming out of the re- frigerator on the ship seventy-two hours, and that the period between the time it was placed in the refrigerator on shore and taken from the refrigerator shore was to be twentyfour hours.
 This" Captain Davis exclaimed twas for the purpose of enabling them to have beef In the refrigerator when the refrigera- tor might be some little distance from where the ship was anchored that had the beef on It."

RIOT AMONG SAILORS.
American Seamen Dispute Over the
 Honors Due Sampson.

Kingston, Jamaica, March 8-The crews of the American fleet ashore on the eve started to rioting among themselves last night over a feud about the flagship New York's absence from the fighting at the battle of Santiago de Cuba. The trouble lasted over two hours before the officers and police succeeded in suppressing it. Several men were slightly wounded, and Green and Armstead, of the Texas, were most seriously injured.
 The former had his bowels ripped, and the latter was stabbed in the side. Both men are in the hospital, where they are pronounced to be in a dangerous condition. The wounds were inflicted by man named Johnson, also of the Texas, who is a Jamaican born. He was surrendered by the police, and is now in double irons on board his ship. All is quiet today.
 The governor of Jamaica, Sir Augustus Hemming, received Rear Admiral Sampson this morning. and returned the latter's visit this afternoon.

SOUND MONEY LEAGUE.
Admission is Finally Forced That Free
 Coinage is Not Dead.

New York, March 2S-The central coun- cil of the National Sound Money League consisting of the vice presidents of the league, met today in this city, reelected the officers of the league, listened to the reports of officers and exchanged views as to the vitality of the silver movement.
 The western men reported that the free coinage agitation was declining, but by no means dead, and there was general con currence in the view of Secretary Gage ex- pressed in a letter that "it would be wise fer the sound money forces to hold them selves in line to oppose any fresh attack of the kind which was steadily resisted in the fall of 1S96.''
 though free silver had been defeated, the currency system had not been perfected. The work of the league will continue.

THE CHICAGO
 AT OLD POINT Sherman Removed from the
 Cruiser to Hotel. HE WAS BORNE IN A LITTER On the Broad Shoulders of Four Ma rines-The Ex-Secretary is Evi- dently Very Sick-Received
 by His Daughter.
HE WAS BORNE IN A LITTER

Newport News, Va, March 2S.--The crui- ser Chicago, which left Hampton Roads March 13 under orders to overtake the American liner Paris and transfer from that ship ex-Secretary of State John Sher- man, who had been taken seriously ill., ar rived at Old Point shortly after the noon hour today with the distinguished invalid on board. MT. Sherman was one of party of tourists who were visiting points of his- torical interest, having chartered the Paris for the purpose.
 The Chicago, after taking MT. Sherman on board, sailed from Santiago last Fri day morning, proceeding direct to this point. The party that returned with the ex-secretary on the Chicago was composed of his nephew, Frank Wiborg, of Cincin- natl; pr. McGill, of Duluth, the physician who has been in constant attendance upon the sick man, and Mrs Dantzer, the nurse who leaves the patient.
 The ex-secretary's daughter, Mrs Me- Callum, watched the cruisers approach from the veranda of the Chamberlain ho- tel, preparations for the reception of the invalid at that resort having been made under her personal supervision.
 MT Wiborg came ashore when the crui- ser dropped anchor, bringing reassuring news to the anxious watchers, and after a brief chat with Mrs. McCallum, returned to the Chicago with her.
 Later in the afternoon MT. Sherman closely muffied, and with his features en- tirely concealed beneath a heavy black veil, was placed in a steam launch and re- moved to the pier. Two officers and four men from the ship accompanied MT. Sher- man and his attendants. He was borne in a litter to the hotel on the broad shoulders of four marines.
 A gust of wind, lifting the veil, disclosed the face of the invalid. It was wan pinched and of a deathly pallor. A crowd of several hundred people witnessed the re- moval of the sick man to the hotel.
 At D. m. he was again placed on the litter and taken on board the Washington boat.
 That MT. MT. Sherman is a very sick man no one who got a glimpse of the invalid's pallid features can doubt. He has lost flesh until little remains of the active and vigorous man but frame, and he is ob- viously far advanced in feebleness and gen eral infirmity.
 While being prepared for the stretcher Mir. Sherman gave the sailors who were to carry him minute orders as to how they should handle the conveyance.

.ARE PREPARING FUR ANOTHER
 ONSLAUGHT ON THE INSURGENTS

that General Otis silence on today'S move ments was explained. After the arduos work of a three days fight under fierce tropical sun, through the rice swamps and jungles, it was expected by the authorities here that Macarthur would conserve the energies of his men by halt long enough to rest and take supplies before the hnal blow against Malolos, the insurgents capi- tai. The supply trains are well up with the troops, according to Otis report today so that the rest permits full supplies of ann intuition and food to be distributed
 The American advance line is now beyond Marilao and almost up to the large town of Bulacan.
 MacAsthur Now Near Buiacan
 The exact distance to Malolos is uncer- tain, owing to the lack of information as to just where they are resting, but the dis tance cannot be more than ten miles on a direct line along the railway. At the rate of progress made in the last two days the next twenty-four hours should bring the American force well up to the insurgent capital, if indeed, the assault on that place is not begun by that time. The officials are disposed to allow more time, however, considering the natural obstacles of un- fordable rivers and burned bridges, to- gether with the successive lines of rebel intrenchments. And, moreover, as at San- tiago, 1t is not doubted that the intrench- ments will become more formidable as the Clly llSelI IS dpprOdcneu
 Leading war department officials referred today to the disposition with which the in- surgeents were fighting. It was taken as an indication that they had staked every thing on the outcome of this fight and, losing 1t, they would submit rather than prolong a hopeless struggle. In this view the fierceness of the rebel fighting was ta- ken as an evidence that once whipped they will stay whipped.
 Nothing From Admiral Dewey
 The navy department received nothing from Admiral Dewey during the day and up to the close of office hours nothing or ficial had been received of the achievement of the Yorktown in capturing a spanish merchantmen in the gulf of Lingayen. While the dispatch is silent as to the cause of the capture, it was surmised that 1t was due to a contraband of war. This is apparently borne out by the fact that the gulf leads to the terminus Of the railway, which in turn leads to the insurgent capl- tai of Malolos. It is further borne out by the fact of the capture itself which would hardly be attempted against neutral merchant ship unless for serious reasons. Spain is now practically in a position of neutrality so that her merchant sh1ps have immunity from capture unless there is good foundation for belief that aid and comfort is being given to the enemy. The last information from Dewey about the Yorktown came yesterday, when he stated that the gunboat was cruising off Luzon.
