Whether or no Milton ladies are SUI
perior to the men deponent saith not.
One thing is certain: They appreciate
the fact that the village needs a public
hall and with Miss Mary Borden and
Mrs WV Clarke at the head of the
movement they are raising funds to sup
ply the need. Without doubt the move
ment will be successful. The gallant
ladies who are devoting SO much time,
energy and money to secure this much
needed building should be given the
moral and financial support of every man
woman and child in town. A long pull,
| a strong pull and pull all together will
build hall which will be credit to the
town and lasting Monument to the
public spiritedness of the ladies of Mil
ton.

wherever there was a variation from the
actual words used. He declared that the
true sense and meaning was accurately
preserved in all respects.
1t appears that Mr.. Earl D. Berry. a
reporter for the New York Times was
also present at the interview between Cen
eral Miles and Mr.. Reid and heard all the
conversation that passed. Mr. Berry. by
deposition, swore that he also took notes
CT the conversation. and that both report
ers compared their respective memoranda
ana notes OF the interview. He declares
that that there was entire concurrence in
what was said
The statement written by Mr. Reid at
the time, and of which he furnished a
copy to the Court, in comparison with the
Herald report of the Miles interview
SHOWS considerable variance in substance.
This variation consists OF the insertion in
the newspaper report Of considerable mat
ter that Mr.. Reid does not claim to have
heard"
The Findings.
The Court then finds that General Miles
made these allegations:
'-First-That the refrigerated beef fur
nished to the troops in Cuba, Porto Rico,
Tampa. Chickamauga, and Jacksonville
was embalmed, or treated with chemicals
to preserve ie of which overwhelming proof
existed.
''Second-That refrigerated beef was
serious cause of sickness and distress
among the troops in the places above
named.
Third-That the canned roast beef was
furnished to the Army under pretence of
an experiment.
-Fourth-That the canned roast beef was
also cause of sickness and distress among
the troops, and is unfit for issue as food
in any country.
''Fifth-That what is called canned roast
beef is really beef pulp from which the
beef extract OF commerce had been boiled
out.
''Sixth-That the bacon issued to the
troops in Porto Rico was not suitable food
for use in the tropics
The conclusion of the Court is that Gen.
eral Miles was in error as to charges one,
two, three and five, and in part right as to
charges four and six

SMITH TO HANG ON FRIDAY.
The Condemned Refuses to Evincc
Any Religious Sentiment.

Since the execution of Strathers and
Winston on Friday last there has been
more or less speculation as to how Edward
Smith, colored, who is under sentence of
death, to be hanged on Friday next. will
meet his fate. Soon after their incarce-a-
tion and long before their conviction auI
sentence OF death, Strathers ana Winston
confessed religion, and when the time came
were resigned to their fate and met death
without a murmur OF faltering step.
Smith, on the contrary. since his con-
finement in the District Jail, has stubborn
ly and persistently refused to have any
communication with the ministers o. the
gospel who visit the prison, and never
loses an opportunity to speak of religion
and its disciples with scorn and in de-
rision. Smiths contempt for religious
consolation was never so forcibly exhib-
tied as it was on the day, at the very mo-
ment, that Strathers and Winston were
being led to the scaffold to meet their
doom. On their way to the scaffo d
Strathers and Winston were Obliged to
pass the cell in which Smith was confined
and as they were going by Smith pressed
his face as close to the bars of the cell as
he could and said to the men who were
treading their death march: That's right;
step up like men. When you have any
thing to do, do it like men, While he
said this his countenance was all aglow,
as if it were the happiest moment of his
life. He also remarked a short while be-
fore that he wished that he. too, were
going to the gallows that day.
A few days previous to the execution of
Strathers and Winston. Warden Harris
spoke to Smith of the necessity of his pre-
pairing for his death and in this connection
called his attention to the interest which
the clergymen who were ministering
TO the spiritual needs of the con-
demned men had expressed in his
welfare. This kindly meant remark of
Warden Harris was. however. met with
a brutal rebuff by Smith, who informed the
warden that he could attend to his own
affairs, and did not want to be interfered
with by anyone: that when his time came
he would go to his death like a man.
In spite of all his bravado and apparent
Indifference to his fate there are many who
believe that when the time comes for Smith
to meet death he will break down. In
the event that he does not, 1t is thought
Smith will take advantage of his last mo-
ment of life to tell the story of his crime
and possibly implcate some one else. AL
though he has been tried three time for
the crime for which he will be hanged on
Friday he has persistently refused to tes-
tify in his own behalf

ALGER ON THE REPORT.
He Does Not Consider 1t Compli-
mentary to Miles.


mentary to Miles.
Secretary Alger was seen last night and
questioned regarding his opinion of the re-
port of the Wade Beef Court of Enquiry
report.
Mr.. Alger refused to discuss the matter
at length. but intimated that its contents
were satisfactory to him.
When asked if he thought that the re-
port vfndicated General Miles in his
charges which led to the meeting of the
board, he evaded the direct question. re-
plying that if he tAlger) by similar charges
had caused the meeting of any such board
and had been referred to in a manner sim
liar to that in which General Miles had
been spoken of in the report he would not
consider it altogether complimentary.
General Alger was also questioned re-
garding the report that General Miles
would resign from the Army and be sue
ceeded by Major General Merritt. He re-
piled that that was a subject to be hand
led by the President. who had the sole
power to make any such change.
General Miles was also seen last night
but refused absolutely to discuss the re-
port. 1t is general opinion that Cen
eral Miles will not be disturbed, espec-
tally in view of the fact that the recon-
mendation contained in the report of the
Board that the whole beef controversy be
dropped was approved by the President.
