Says the Beef Supplied the Soldiers
was Good-The Meat was Not Unfit
for Use.

WASHINGTON February 24.-Af-
ter a session of little more than two
hours the court of inquiry investigat
ing the beef charges adjourned until
Monday, pending the arrival of wit
nesses who have been summoned. For
mer Commissioner General Eagan con-
cluded his testimony, explaining the
provisions of contracts for beef for
supplies to the armies in Porto Rico, in
Cuba and in the Philippines. He Wig
orously denied any knowledge of any
chemical treatment of beef to preserve
it and disavowed any connection what
ever of the government with any such
treatment.
OAKLAND, February 24-General
William II. Shafter, commander of the
american forces that captured Santa
so de Cuba, lectured tonight before a
large audience at the First Unitarian
church on THE Campaign in Cuba"
He gave a detailed description of the
campaign and defended It against the
attacks that have been made upon it,.
He declared that the great beef scan
dal was without foundation.
In regard to the battle of Santiago,
he said that a conference of generals
was held and many different opinions
were expressed. Il have never told of
them" he said, land shall not unless
those who expressed different opinions
do so. The generals all told me that
they were able to hold their positions,
and | ordered that our army hold the
ground it had won. That night l made
a demand for the surrender of Santa
go. The next morning Cervera left the
harbor and his fleet was destroyed in
half an hour General TOral wanted
twenty-four hours, and / was glad
enough to give it to him"
Touching on the beef scandal, Cen
eral Shafter said: "A good deal has
been said about the quality of the pro-
visions. Frontiersmen know what it
is to open canned meats in tropical
climate. That the meat was unfit for
use is simply not so. The refrigerated
beef was as fine as any in the stores of
San Francisco. In all the time l new
er had any complaint of any quantity
being poor When it was left in the
rain and then in the hot sun ii quickly
spoiled. l have seen this happen in
our military posts around San Fran
cisco bay"

ROOSEVELT MAY TAKE CHARGE
OF WAR DEPARTMENT.
Intrigues to Unship a Secretary and a
Governor and to Smother a Possible
Presidential Candidate.

WASHINGTON, February 25.-It
was officially announced today at the
war department that Alger's junket
trip to Cuba and Porto Rico had been
abandoned and the invitations recall
ed. This saves the country $780, 600.
Secretary Alger gives as reasons why
the trip was abandoned that the army
bill and other eXigencies of the moment
at the war department need his pres
enCe in Washington. There are hints
that Alger was moved to abandon the
junket by order of the president.
In official circles the statement is
made that the secretary's decision to
abandon the trip may have been due
to his desire to bring all the influence
he can to bear upon the president to
retain him in the cabinet.
WASHINGTON, February 25.-Gov-
enor Roosevelt is reported to have re-
ceived tentative proposition from the
president involving his acceptance of
the war portfolio. In view of the ad-
ministratiOn's great desire to get rid
of Alger, the report finds many b
levers.
Senator Platt is credited with the
idea of getting Roosevelt out of the
governors chair, in which event Wood
ruff, a willing Platt henchman, would
take the gubernatorial office. 1t is
said that Platt suggested Roosevelt us
Alger's successor to the president and
pointed out the fact that no better way
off killing off Roosevelt as a presiden-
tial possibility could be devised. Roos-
evelt is known to have ideas on the
subject of a reorganized war depart
ment.
Roosevelt called upon the president
today and paid his respects.

ITS DESIGN IS PERFECT.

The shipment of '99 Model Sterling
bicycles for the Pacific Cycle Company,
due to arrive on the Moana, did not
materialize. They received a sample
of the '99 model and are assured by the
factory that at least part of their
shipment will follow on the next stea-
mer. The sample is perfect in every
particular. Just who dictates the style
of machine each year is a question,
but the arbiter of fashion has decreed
that for the so model the distinctive
changes are larger sprockets and short
er heads. Elaborate dynamameter tests
at Cornell University has demonstrat-
ed the fact that Morse roller-jOint
chains give a higher efficiency than
other chains on the market. With an
efficiency of 991a per cent out of 100.
The rear wheel is brought up to the
seat post tube to give the right saddle
position and also leave the shortest
distance between the crank and rear
aXles. 1t is as near perfection as is
possible. The manufacturer of the
Sterling bows to the goddess and fol-
lows her dictates as far as is consist
ent with good mechanical construction.

HANDS OFF.
New Rule in Force in Port Surveyors
Office.

In the port surveyors office both at
the custom house and at the Oceanic
wharf the following notice was posted
this morning:
"All books, papers and other docu-
ments in this office are strictly private,
and are not for public inspection. In
spectors will see that this is strictly
enforced"
The freedom some members of the
public have taken in looking over these
books and papers and even in some ca
ses in rummaging drawers has made
this order necessary. In most cases
the inspection of papers and even the
rummaging of drawers had a perfect
ly innocent and even legitimate motive,
being usually due to impatience to Sc
cure information without waiting to
inquire of the customs officials. The
practice has become such a nuisance,
however, and papers became so disar-
ranged and mislaid that Collector Cen
eral McStocker and Port Surveyor
Stratemeyer decided an end must be
put to it in the interest of good ser
vice.
All information will be given by the
officials.

TIE PR|NCESS'S FUNERAL
FROM KAwAIAHAO CHURCH AT
2P. M. SUNDAY.
Police, Band, Troops, Consular Corps
and Other Bodies to Attend-Major
Potter Arranging Details.

Major Potter has been busy today
arranging the details of the funeral of
the late Princess Kaiulani, which will
take place next Sunday. At it's session
this morning the cabinet spent most
of the time discussing the plans and
the details of the part the government
should officially take in the matter.
This afternoon it was announced that
everything could not be arranged un-
der two days more, which will be on
Thursday.
The funeral will follow closely after
the order of that of Kalakaua in 1891,
and will be on a similar scale. There
will be a grand marshal, police, troops,
band, consular corps and divisions in
the procession for various elements of
the community. AS now arranged the
general program, subject to innumer-
able details will be as follows:
From a. m. to 5 p. IN. tomorrow the
body will lie in state at Ainahau and
will be viewed by friends. 1t will be
observed that the first hour has been
changed from 10 to 8.
The funeral will take place from ka-
waiahao church at o'clock next sun
day afternoon. Bishop Willis will Off
ciate. The services there will last a
half hour and the column will be form
ed at 2:30. The procession will move
to Fort street and thence out to the
Mausoleum in Nuuanu valley.
The services of the First regiment,
N. G. H., as an escort were offered by
the government and accepted. 1t is
not unlikely that the engineers at
Camp Mckinley will also turn out.
Captain Parker will lead the pro-
cession with a full company of police
in dress uniform and platoon of the
mounted police.
Arrangements will likely be made
for the firing of minute guns while the
procession is moving toward the ceme-

CENTURY OF BEET SUGAR.

An exchange notes that the present
year marks the centenary of discov-
cry of beet sugar, which was first an
nounced by Franz Karl Achard, the
director of the Prussian Academy, to
Frederick William II, on January IL,
1893. Extensive experiments were i'm
mediately ordered by the king. 1t is
said that 100000 thalers were offered
by the proprietors of the sugar planta-
tions in the West Indies for the sup
preston of the discovery At that time
the output of sugar amounted to only
200 900 tons a year.

LABOR TROUBLES.
Boiler Makers on the Collier Scindia
Strike.

There was a strike yesterday of the
boiler makers employed on the repairs
on the Scindia. They have been work.
ing nine hour day, which is the reg
ular day in that trade here. But they
claim that under the federal statute
making eight hours a day on all gov
ernment work, they are entitled to
double time for all time over eight
hours. Captain Field takes the POSI-
tion that the government ought to get
as much work for the same money on
one of its vessels as a merchant vessel
in the same port and under the same
conditions would.
Work ceased yesterday morning. 1t
is hoped to settle the differences ami
cably. The services of other compe-
tent boiler makers have been offered,
and can be secured, but the work Of
the Honolulu Iron Works has been so
satisfactory that if their men, who are
the ones on strike can be retained
without surrendering the principle of
equal work with merchant vessels out
side men will not be employed.
The schooner Oceanic Vance which Is
discharging coal at the Railway wharf

PHILIPPINE TRADE.
Spanish Statistics are Away Behind
the Rest of the World.

Official statistics regarding the for
eign commerce of the Philippines are
not very recent, the latest year for
which customs returns have been is
sued being 1894 At that date the for
cign trade of the islands was valued at
$50, 1872, ,559, of which exports represented
more than half, being valued at $l6,-
5ll ,SI2. These figures, however, are
considerably below those representing
average annual values for the decade
and half from 1880 to 1894, inclusive.
The foreign commerce for this period
was valued at $37 566 005 annually, of
which the exports We're valued at 500, -
52G96l. Taking the period as a whole,
there was a noticeable decline in the
value Of the foreign trade, the average
falling from O,33S, 599 i'm 1SS0-S4, to
