a further decline. and the price continued,
the. last sales being s1.29hd1.sO. The sales
to-day were 127.00O shares.
Tonight there is a great diversity CT
opinion as to the action OF the stock to-
morrow. many declaring that the bear
movement had done its worst, and 1t is
predicted that the next upward turn will
carry. the stock to 81. This is based on
of ore. running $1,000 in gold to the ton,
now in sight. The company is capitalized
at S2.250.OOO.
The excitement on exchange. which has
been entirely due to the Isabella strike
has been largely confined to that stock
though several other gold stocks have been
Influenced sympathetically. The fuctua-
tions were for the most part within mar
row limits,

LUz0N WAS THE MINIMUM.
President Did Not Order That Only

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-It appears that

far as the Philippines were concerned To
the island Of Luzon. As q matter of fact.
SO far from making that island the ma XII

NEW YORK. Jan. 31.-General Nelson a.,
Miles gave out a statement to'nisht' atter
having denied several published interviews
attributed to him. He prefaced MS STALE
ment by saying:
II have been most freely quoted, with
out authority from me or without any ut
terance on my part. 1t has been source
Of great annoyance to me"
His statement is as follows:
"On the Goth Of last September issued an
order to regimental commanders to re-
port to me concerning the beef which had
been issued to their men. At the same
time that I went before the }war board
investigating commission l had only re-
ceived reports from fourteen of the COM
manders Now-I have thirty reports. They
all tell the same story. The evidence proves
the truth of the statements | have made.
In addition to the reports of the regimental
commanders. ! have ia great mass Of evil
dence, consisting of communications, affi-
davits, ETC., frosn officers, soldiers and civ
ilians.
Every part of the country has contribut-
ed to the mass Of correspondence which 1
have received in reference to the beef
served to our soldiers and the evidence is
all corroborative Of what have said. The
great publicity which the press has given
to the matter has brought all the corre-
spondence of which speak, upon me-
Il have overwhelming evidence that the
embalmeu beef was treated with chemicals
in order to preserve it. l have affidavits
from men who saw the beef undergoing the
treatment or embalming process. Now, as
TO the canned roast beef, that was different
from embalmed beef. The canned roast
beef was the beef after the extract had
been boiled out of it. You have seen the
advertisements. beef extract; one pound con-
talns the substance of from four to five
pounds or prime beef Well, this is the beef
alter the extract has been taken from it
They put this beef pulp up in cans and
laeei II canned roast beef The soldiers
ing. II swallowed it could not be kept on
the stomach"
1t was pointed out to General Miles that
he had been quoted as having said that if
posit thousand dollars In such way
that 1t could be made to pay the cost Of
the proceedings he would furnish absolute
proof OF his assertions.
He was asked what tribunal he had in
PROOF and in reply said:
Il made that statement in response to
the offer OF the beef men to pay $l00 900 for
evidence of the truth OF my allegations
offer as a bluff and took that way of an
swertng IT. have no tribunal in mind
have the. greatest abundance Of evidence
to support the charges I made and do not
think. that any part Of the thousand dol
lars need be spent in more Investigation"
General Miles has received telegram
from Colonel A. A. Pope of Boston. re-
Questing General Miles to draw on him for
81, 900 to prove that chemicals were used to
embalm beef furnished to soldiers, but his
offer will not be accepted for the reasons
already given.
