STATUS OF TREATY.
Opponents Have Enough Votes
to Defeat 1t.
MAY BE AN EXTRA SESSION.
" Not, We May Have to Ask Spain For
More Time--To Prevent an Extra ses-
sion, Opponents May Let the Treaty
GO Through.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.--The status of
the peace treaty, as outlined by mem.
Der of the foreign relations committee,
who favors, ratification, is: The oppon
ents claim to have 33 or "a sure votes
against the treaty. That would defeat
1t, which would necessitate an extra
session. If there is to be an extra ses-
sion, the friends of the treaty say they
may as well take it over unrejected by
this session. They do not propose to
bring it to vote unless they are sure of
ratification.
An extra session, they say, will mean
an extra session of the whole congress
unless a conditional appropriation is
made to pay Spain the $4,000, 900 or
unless some arrangement is made with
Spain to extend the time of payment
three months. The United States, it is
said, would not like to make this re-
quest. 1t is believed that in view Of
the possibilities of an extra session un.
less the treaty is ratified at this session,
the opponents will yield before adjourn.

pressed to avoid an extra session.

HORRIBLE BEEF.
Captain warburton Said 1t Was So Bad
1t Couldn't he Swallowed.
Refrigerator Disabled.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The board of
survey appointed to pass upon the
question of the proper condemnation
of large quantity Of beef destined
for the troops in Porto Rico, received
from Captain Barclay H. Warburton of
the Pennsylvania volunteer battalion
OF artillery sworn statement of the
condition of the refrigerated beef on
board the transport Manitoba, which
transport was at Ponce from Aug. 10 to
%. In the course OF this statement
Captain Warburton said the meat was
so bad it was impossible to swallow it.
He further said in part:
"In my opinion the meat was not
good, nor was it fit for issue.
II had no idea that this meat had
been subjected to any chemical process,
but believed the beef to have decom-
posed on account of the lack of proper
refriRerating facilities caused by the
elogging of the machinery used for
thae purpose on the Manitoba.
"In reply to your request to give the
board any other evidence or informa-
tion in my possession or knowledge,
my answer in general is that all beef
issued TO my battalion was bad and
had to be buried Immediately upon de-
livery to our camp, six miles from the
commissary depot

IN part:

been un fortunate If the president had
been inhl Dited from appointing Sena-

The condition of the mind known as
