AMERICANS ARE GIANTS.
That Is the Impression OF the Little

The Puerto Ricans, who as q rule ore

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local applications, as h cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
Nv constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition Of the
m,1cuous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound of imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result. and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will DC de-
stroved forever; nine case out of ten are

BAYvlEW PARKS CONDITION.
Repairs Arc Badly Needed to Make
1t Useful,

Bayview Park, on Garfield avenue, is
badly in heed of repairs. The walks in
the lower part of the park are broken
to such an extent that entire new walks
will have to be laid. The park IS stu
ated on a hill. The water running down
from Garfield avenue has completely
undermined the walks, which are in
momentary danger of sliding to the bot.
tom of the hill. The grass has been en-
tirely washed away, which makes the
park appear like a huge mud bank. Re-
tanning trenches nave been dug to hold
the water. but no beneficial results are
apparent.
AS a recreation ground the park is a
failure. There are no benches, and trees
planted last year ave a sickly appear
ance. A beautiful view of the bay can
be had from the park. which would be
patronized constantly if placed in proper
condition,

thought. The forfeit asked Is generally
the limit Of the owners faith In the claim,

As a rule, the milling gold ores Of this

There would be just as much sense for
the state to pass law placing a tax Of
$1,000 or more on every man who desired
to make a mine, as for the owner Of an
idle claim to tax an intending investor for
the opportunity Of exploring the ground.
A going mine inspires faith, an idle
one acts the reverse, and shows a lack Of
faith.

cognizance Of points which have been
developed since his first testimony.
Gen. Eagan said that he had had con-
versation with the representatives of
Swift e. Co. prior TO the letting Of the
beef contracts, but as he had also talk
ed with others on the same subject, he
could not recall the details of his re-
marks. He remembered that Mr..
Swift ha dtaken exception to some OF
the terms Of the first draft Of the con-
tract as being very harsh. Explaining
his plans in general, Gen. Eagan said
IL was his first intention to take refrig-
Grated beef, then in case of failure to
take beef on the block and last for the
government to have its own herd Ev-
erybody he thought, understood that
his preference was for refrigerated
beef naturally received the contract.
Gen. Eagan said that the matter Of
supplying the army with beef was con-
sdered from the beginning a very seri-
oush problem. He had first thought Of
having ships ply UP and down the Gu
ban shore, and IT was with this in view
that he decided TO ask for beef that
would keep " hours. He had also felt
that there would be difficulty in land
ing at Santiago. His principal reason
for inserting in the contract the clause
STIMULATING that beef should be good 72
IlOhA6 eLLIGl ltdNllS lllc AtII
was that he did not wish the troops
to know that the contract called for
beef that would keep " hours. for fear
that 1t would not keep 50 long
When crOss-eXamined by Major Lee
Gen. Eagan said he exercised his own
discretion in the letting Of contract
without suggestion from the secretary
of war. When the lowest bid was re-
ceived, 1t had been his habit to make
a n n pt re ha Go yfa "a
to the secretary. The general said
that in providing for soldiers in the
tropics he had acted upon his expe-
rience at Fort Moiave, Arizona. He
was convinced that beef cooked before
the animals heat was out Of 1t was
positively injurious. He recalled his
conversation with Mr.. Gardner Of
Swift & Co., who he said had assured
him that with proper care refrigerated
however, doubtful OF the care the rail-
way give it; If it was known the beer
would keep Y hours, hence his agree
ment to the insertion Of the 24-hour
clause.
Did you understand ii was to keep
in good condition u hours after being
taken from the ship refrigerator"
asked Major Lee.
Yes, sir; that was the understand
ing" Gen. Eagan responded
But" persisted Major Lee, were
you ever present where he was when
the beef contracts were discussed
Il recall" was the reply, that the
secretary sent for me on one occasion
and asked me about the contracts when
there were two other gentlemen pres
ent in the room with him. / stated to
him that the contracts had already
been let and that nothing more could
be done"
Explaining the purchases Of the
canned roast beef. Cen Eagan said
that during the entire war, not TO ex-
coed "a days rations all told. Of it for
the entire army, had been issued. It
was only intended as makeshift. to
be used when fresh meat could not be
secured. Some report favorable 10 IL
and others unfavorable came To me
concerning it, he said,
