TOASTS TO QUEENS HEALTH
Speeches at Banquet at Havana Take
Wide Range
ENCOURAGEMENT OFFERED THE cUsANs
General Ludlow voices Intentions n'
the United statcs-Cubnn Leader
Points out Necessity of
Disarmament.

HAVANA, May 25.-At a banquet given
last nignt at the Hotel Ing ezra in honor OF
the eightieth birthday of Queen Victoria
the toasts to the queen and the president oil
the United States were received with en-
thusiasm. Governor General Brooke in re-
spending to the toast THE United States,
said that wherever Great Britain's nag was
planted there was law, order and develop
ment, and he believed the same was true In
tne cNse OF the United states, which had been
taught by Great Britain.
The supreme court fiscal, Senior Mora. re-
piled to the toast cuba" He said the
Cubans had struggled all they could for
liberty and independence that they deserved
independence and that they would have In
dependence.
General Ludlow, in responding to "Our
Guests" touched lightly and pleasantly
upon the historical relations between Great
Britain and the United States here. He said
the United States was aiding the develop
ment of civil government, and that when
the work was done its forces would leave
the island.
Lieutenant Commander Lucien Young, U.
s. NJ. replied to the toast Absent Heroes,
and ]. W. Todd. Thomas Carter and others
spoke Informally. The last toast was THE
Mother Country"
Disarmament n Necessity.
Senior Andrade, late president Of the Gu
ban Military assembly, is quoted in an in
tervlew as saying the disarming of the Gu
ban soldiers is an absolute necessity prior to
the reconstruction of the country. He Is
said to have added that the money appro-
priation was insufficient, but that the old
soldier should accept his proportion, use 1t
to begin work and have confidence in the
Americans, who had recognized the Cuban
right to independence and who had under
taken to secure it for them. The interven-
Ing power, he explained may commit errors,
but only in judgment and through not know
ing the customs of the country. AnneXa-
ton, Senior Andrade said in conclusion, was
impossible unless at the request of the Gu
bans.
The unloading of ships at the wharves has
stunned the lightermen and they are anxious
to come to terms before it is discovered that
this Is the best way of loading and unload
ing vessels No further trouble is expected
unless the lightermen prevail upon the dock
men to Join in the strike, but the interests
Of the dockmen are the other way.

BEEF INQUIRY.
No More Witnesses Likely to Be
Examined After To-day,

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE army
court of inquiry has decided to exam
Inc no more witnesses after the close
or this week, unless in exceptional
cases, where those expected Were un
avoidably detained. General Miles will
not be called except by his own re-
quest.
The court will not hear all the addi-
tional witnesses whose names have been
suggested by General Miles. Some Of
them will, however, be called including
Inspector General Breckinridse. The
200 additional reports of officers will be
received in cases where made by Off
GERS who have already testified, or
whose reports have been read, and ex-
cepting also reports of officers who

DR.. C. P. Adams, surgeon of the
Second New Jersey Regiment, was the
first witness of the day. He and other
witnesses following We're called TO
testify concerning the condition of af-
fairs in that regiment complained CT
by DR.. Currie. Dr. Adams said that he
did not in any case attribute the sick
ness of the troops attacked to Govern
ment rations. He heard nothing from
DIR. Currie of his chemical tests with
the fresh beef. He had been told of
the doctors observations concerning the
effects of the butchers knife blade in
discoloring the meat, but the investi-
cation had failed to corrobcrate his
statement.
DR.. Charles r. Blundell, assistant sur
geon of the Second New Jersey, agreed
with DR.. Adams that no sickness had
been caused by the Government food,
nor had he ever heard of any chem
ical tests by DR.. Currie. until his re-
turn home. Furthermore he said h t
he had charge of the sick of the egi-
ment While the rifle range was IN
course of construction, and there was
no such sickness in the detachment as

1t appears that the Filipino force at
Santa Cruz consisted of 80 rifles and a
thousand bolos.
As he lacks sufficient troops for gar
risoning, General Lawton will withdraw
from the towns entered. Not a house
has been burned, the only confscation
being of pigs and chickens. 1t is hoped
that this respect for property will con-
vince the natives of the good intentions
of the Americans.
All nom combatants are released, with
American proclamations to be dis
tributed among their friends, and all
church valuables are forwarded to the
Archbishop.
Lieutenant Brooke has brought to
Manila one of the captured steamers
with five of the American dead, ten
wounded and fifty who were sick. Most
OF the sick attribute their disorders to
the Cuban campaign.
Through treachery or ignorance of the
Filipino pilot, the steamer was stranded
a whole day, the provisions failed, and
there was some suffering on this score.
