COMPLAINING OF THE ARMY BEEF.

London, Nov. 21. a. m.-''The Daily Chronl-
Gle" in rs war diary" says this morning;
Hitherto we have hesitated to speak Of the
quality Of the timed meat supplied 10 our trans
ports much Of which has had 10 be thrown over
board But we have made inquiries in quarters
not likely 10 be influenced by mere rurnor. and
we find there suspicious that some Of the meat
supplied 10 the Government for use on the Brit
fsh transports was meat which had been re-
tected by the United States during the hostili-
ties in Cuba where II was picturesquely known
as "ernhalmed beef" and relabelled with the
mark Of the current year.
Whatever blunder there may have been must
be laid. not at the door OF the War Office but
at the door Of the Admiralty, which has under
taken TO feed the troops. Not a single complaint
has come 70 hand regarding the quality OF the
War Office stores.
