THE CONGESTION AT TAMPA.
HUMPHREYS TESTIFIEs ABOT1T
SHAFTER'S EXPEDITION.

Facilities Were Not Sufficient for
Handled az Well as Possible In
der the Circumstances-He Knew
Very Little About the Meat-BIam-
ed Medical Department for COndl-
tions on Hospital ships.
Washington, Jan. 16.-Gen. Charles f.
Humphrey, who was in charge of the wa
ter transportation at Tampa for Santiago,
was chief quartermaster on Cen Miles
staff, and was with Gen. Shafter prior to
Gen. Miles arrival was the main witness
before the war investigating commission to-
day.
Prior to his appearance Frank e. VogeI,
representing the Nelson Morris Packing
Company, slated that his concern had sold
about Sl50,O00 worth of canned roast beef
to the government to be used a Chicka-
mauga, and said il was all of good quail
ity No complaint had ever been made
TO him nor had any beef products of his
concern been chemically treated.
Capt. r. j. C. Irvine, Eleventh United
States Infantry, commissary on the Pana-
ma at the time the transport was in charge
of Surgeon DAILY, who wrote a report on
the beef condemning IL in the most sensa-
tional language. testified that the vessel
sailed from Ponce on Sept. or g. and on
Sept. there was a well marked odor as
If something had been "closed up" He
was not prepared to state that the odor
was like that emanating from a dead hu-
man being injected with chemical preserv-
atives, as Surgeon Daily reported.
AS soon as complaint was made of the
beef he said 1t was examined and found 10
be very odorous. The beef was thrown
overheard. The men were then put on the
rest of the rations, living Without fresh
beef. The witness said the lack of 1t was
not felt by the men. All the beef car
red was refrigerated beef. The ice taken
aboard had not been sufficient to preserve
the beef, 'even," as the commission ask
ed, IF it had been received in good con-
dition." II. was received in fairly good
condition however, the witness said. He
thought 1t must have undergone some
change before it was brought aboard, or
while aboard, before IL was put on ice.
The Congestion at Tampa.
Gen Humphreys said the congestion at
Tampa was due to the inability Of the
roads TO handle the cars.
did you assign the troops in advance
Of their arrival at Tampa 70 the different
vessels?" asked Gen. Wilson.
NO SIR"
when the troops came 70 you were
they then assigned for the first time?"
"Yes sir, because that was necessary"
He said that under the circumstances
the transports at Tampa were as well
fitted out as they could have BEEN Each
vessel carried hs full complement of ord
nance, Guartermasters' and commssary
stores; In fact, all that could be taken.
There were III mule wagons and seven
ambu.ances taken.
"Why were no more wagons and ambu-
lances taken?" queried Gen. Wilson.
Because the vessels were fun" was the
answer
Would your reply, then, by lack of
transportation?'
Il would not like to say that"
All the wagons, said the witness, were
landed at Santiago, but all were not set
up.

tiOn of Railroad in Africa.
From the New York Press.
Man-eating lions are delaying the prog
ress of an important railway being built
by the British in East Africa 10 connect
Mombasa with Uganda. The voracious
kings of the forest have developed a keen
appetite for the Indian laborers and have
succeeded in decimating the working force
from time to time since the enterprise got
we'll under way. The lions did most of
their foraging at night
Now, il is learned. the quarters and
houses of the laborers are protected by
lion proof stockades, which are fifty feet
high and from six to eight feet thick. Sur
rounded by these, the men sleep in safety
One of the man-eaters who had dined on
seventeen coolies on az many occasions
came to grief finally when ne attacked the
men on a baggage car They killed him
and his skin is preserved as a souvenir to
be sent to the British museum. m
The length of the railroad from Nom
basa 10 Uganda, when. completed, Will be
about $50 miles. One-third OF the way
from the coast has been covered with a
single track, and il is estimated that it
Will take three years more to finish the
work Trains are running daily on the
completed 215 miles between Mombasa, the
seat Of administration in British East
Africa, and the Mikindee river The
through trains are equipped with first,
second and third class cars of modern
make, the first class cars being fitted with
vestibule platforms.
Game is plentiful along the line, and It
is not uncommon for a locomotive engi-
neer to stop the train to get a shot at
some guinea fowl or ostrich The stations
are naturally far apart. but they are built
to last. The roadbed and rails are of the
best materials.
