WASHINGTON, Feb. 20-The Miles
Court of Inquiry to-day made good
start in its work The court was COM
fortably quartered in the old meeting
room of the War Investigation Com
mittee in the Lemon building, with ac-
commodations for representatives OF
the press associations and the local pa
pers Calls of ceremony on the Presi-
dent and the general commanding the
army occupied large part of the fore
noon, and Immediately thereafter Gen
eral Nelson A. Miles appeared as the
first witness. He and three other army
officers summoned as witnesses were
examined and disposed of before the
court closed it's session at o'clock.
General Miles testimony, Of course, was
the feature of the days proceedings.
Colonel Frank Micheler, his chief OF
staff, and a gentleman in citizens
clothes, who took seat by the fire
place and gravely watched the course
of proceedings, retiring with the gen
eral as silently as he had come, &C
companied the general to the court
room.
General Miles appeared IN fatigue
uniform, rather striking in its contrast
with the display of scarfs, bullion and
buttons on the full dress uniforms OF
the court. He submitted to the ques-
tioning of Colonel Davis, recorder or
the court, with equanimity, except for
a flash of mingled indignation and
irony when he informed the recorder
that he was not compelled to report"
TO the commissary general of the army
This was in reply to question as to
whether or not he had reported to the
Commissary Department the fact that
complaints had been made to him as
to the quality of meat being issued to
the troops An instant later General
Miles resumed his cool and carefully
considered replies to the inquiries or
the court.
AS indicated by a letter of the ad-
jutant general. read by the recorder

all kinds, canned. corned, refrigerated
and canned roast beef. He said the criti-
cisms of the canned roast beef began
early and were made often. 1t was OBJ
jected to on the score of its lack of nutrf-
ment, its taste and its appearance. After
the men got cooking utensils they stewed
it from the can. Either way of serving
1t was bad enough, and, though none of
1t that witness remembered was actually
spoiled, it was unpalatable and the ground
of constant complaint.
Witness did not recoilect that the large
sick list of this regiment in Cuba had
been laid at the time to the canned meat.
The men were very debilitated but he
could not say whether the meat ought to
be blamed or not. When the refrigerator
beef arrived large part of it was spoil
canned meat The spoiled refrigerator
beef was laid out on the hill for the buzz
yards. Several issues were lost in this
way. Witness had eaten some of the re-
frigerator beef which arrived in camp
untainted and found that good. The men
ate 1t without complaint, and he had no
reason to believe it was any different
from the beef he had got at army posts
in the States.
Lieutenant Colonel Charles Minor of the
Sixth Infantry was the next witness. His
regiment was among the first to leave
Camp Thomas and to camp at Tampa.
They reached Cuba and disembarked on
June %. Canned roast beef was issued as
travel ration when they left Tampa and
until the end of the siege. 1t was re-
placed with refrigerated beef after the
surrender Meantime, he said, absolutely
no other fresh meat could have been fur
nished during the siege
Complaints against the canned beef be-
came general and marked about July 2
He said he was using it and when opened
it was apparently fresh, but stringy and
absolutely without nourishment and
when cut 1t fell to pieces. The men could
not and did not eat it.
II believed then and / believe now he
said, chat that beef had been used for
making beef extract and the nutriment
taken out. 1t appeared to have been
boiled to pieces"
Colonel Minor said he knew nothing Of
the method of canned beef preparation.

Rev. Nels Giere, who has been pas

ceived call from Renville which he
has accepted. His congregation were
sorry to see him 60 and tried hard to
induce him to remain. He gives i'll
health as a reason for the change.
Although we regret very much to see
Rev. Giere leave, we wish him success
in his new field. Rev. Tolo, of Har-
word will possibly be his successor.

It begins to look as though the ad-
ministration will be forced into a more
conciliatory policy towards the Fill
pinos. It is becoming more evident
day by day that the conscience of the
rank and file of the republican party
will not sanction the cruel Weylerian
program which Elihu Root and Will

namely the complete annihilation OF
the Filiplnos unless they uncondition-
ally surrender their political rights.

ST. PAUL. Aug. 81, 1899.
Never in the annals Of political abuse
of capable and honest public officials,
was there more humiliating outcome
for the villi6ers, than in the case of the
defunct Savings Bank of St. Paul and
the vindication of Governor Lind and
Examiner Pope for their course in that
case. The particulars have now been
80 widely published by the daily press
that q mere summary will suffice.
From the moment that the officials
acted, they were beset and followed
with the vilest abuse by the Twin City
Republican press. They united in de-
claring that the governor and examiner
had acted for mere political purposes
and wrecked solvent bank, that they
might make ''record." Some of the
so-called independent" press Joined
the partisan cabal, as usual, with in
situation and inuendo to its hearts
content. All Of these villifers have
been as silent as the grave as to cor
recting the alseimpressions. But that
matters little, for the real character Of,
all the press thus grouped, is very we'll
understood by the people. @@.= +, .te:.
