THE SPOiLT BEEF COURT
More Testimony as to the Canned Beef
The Court Ready to Go West to Ex
anime the Packing .aOuses

Washington. March 6.-The war de-
partment court, Of inquiry held a very
brief session today, the last before their
start for the west where they will in
spect the packing plants of Chicago,
Omaha and Kansas City. There was
but one witness examined, Lieutenant
Frederick L. Munson, Ninth infantry.
He said that during his service in Cuba
up to the surrender of Santiago, his
command had as a meat component of
the ration bacon and canned roast beef
in the proportion Of about ten days of
the former to fifteen days of the lat
ter. Until the surrender he received
no complaints of the canine oas
beef, but after the surrender his COM
miSsary sergeant reported to him that
something was making the men very
sick. They did not know what 1t was,
out thought it was something they had
eaten. After eliminating every other
factor that they could think they con-
Guided it must be the canned beef. He
ordered the cooks to try fixing up the
meat in stewS with hard tack and to-
matoes, but it seemed to make no diff
ference. h men continued sick The
men then discontinued the use of the
beef. On the voyage nome they Sui
had canned beef, but the men did
not eat it. He tried to turn it into the
commisSary at Montauk but the COM
missary would not receive it.
Of the refrigerator e the witness
said the principal objection to it was
tina it was spoiled before the men re-
ceived it. He was obliged to condemn
his whole consignment of refrigerator
beef. The health of the men remained
good till about two weeks before leav-
ing, when the command broke down all
in a bunch His command was the
headquarters provost guard, made up
of old and picked men. They were not
the sort to complain of any thing till
they had reached the very limit of en-
durance. Their sickness vas almost
entirely bowel and stomach trouble.
This wound up the taking Of testi-
mony in Washington and the court ad-
journed to meet in Chicago on Thurs
day.
