CALL THE SOLDIERS,
Miles Says They Could Tell the Beef
Story,
session.

Chicago, Jan. ia special to the
Tribune from Washington says: Ma
Jor General Miles was seen in regard to
General Eagan's statement before the
war investigation commission here and
said:
Il shall pay no attention to a man
who seems to forget that he wears the
uniform of the United States army,
and that this dignity should carry with
It the instincts of gentleman. If the
secretary of war chooses to take cog
nizance of General Eagan's language.
well and GOOD. I certainly shall not
do so. l have not volunteered any in
formation regarding the controversy
over the beef issued the army during
the Spanish American war. was
asked To go before the investigating
commission and did so. Being before
the commission, / felt it my duty to
state facts as / understood them. and
to furnish such corroborative evidence
as | had at hand.
Ii there be any one who believes I
am firing in the air in the controversy
he WILL 1 think, find himself mistaken.
| am receiving letters every day from
every section of the country, APPROX
ing of my course, and some of these
letters are from persons who offer to
furnish testimony in support of my
contention. To-day I received three
of New York, one from the COM
mander of a crack battery in Phila-
delphia, who served in the late war,
and a third from the commander of a
Brooklyn troop. Governor Roosevelt
writes me that the steamers which car
ried his men to Cuba carried some of
the embalmed beef, and that the stencil
of it so filled the ship it nauseated the
men. The gentleman mentioned as be-
ing resident of Philadelphia writes
me he now has a can of the beef fur
nished by Commissary General Eagan,
and if the members of the inyestipat-
ing commission desire to examine if
he will bring or send it to them. The
commander of the Brooklyn toop
will also be glad, he says to tell
what he knows of the subject in con-
trOVersy.
1T is remarkable that during the in
Vestgat1on every one seems to have
been called except the private soldiers
who were compelled to eat this en-
balmed beef. Hundreds of the men
can be found who would be willing to
be heard, and I am satisfied that thev
would tell the truth and nothing but
the truth The truth and nothing
but the truth is what the American
people want. The truth will hurt no
one excepting those who are guilty. it
would seem, of perpetrat ting a fraud
upon these soldiers, unon the gov
ernment and upon the American peo-

IT HAD A STENCIL.
The Meat Smelled So That Tt Was Thrown
Into the Ocean.

Albany, N. Y, Jan. Ex-Governor
Roosevelt has sent to General Miles at
Washington a letter concerning the
meat furnished the rough riders during.
the recent war. Roosevelt states that
four kinds of beef were issued: Corned
beef, which was good, and canned roast
beef, which was unfit for food. When
the rough riders left Tampa a large
quantity of specially prepared beef was
placed aboard the transport in which
they embarked. This beef was stored in
the forward end of the transport. 1t
had been prepared by some special pro-
cess unknown to Governor Roosevelt,
but was supposed to be with some form
of solution. The transport was out from
Tampa but few hours when this beef
began to smell. The stencil was so
great that men avoided the forward
part of the transport as much as possi-
BILE. The meat could not be eaten and
was thrown into the ocean. The fourth
kind of beef was served to the rough
riders at Santiago after July 5. 1t was
of good quality and was brought to
Cuba in special steamers with refriger-
ator facilities.

II say it should be written Schley."
continued Mr.. Berry. Il then say that
there should be a provision of law that
whether it goes to Schley or Sampson,
the prize monev should be paid to the
men who have won that glorious
achievement, but that the provision for
prize money ought to be wiped off the
statute books. / say the men who
made that magnificent charge at San

In response to a direct question, Mr..
Meyer. dem. La, said the committee
would offer an amendment to repeal
the law giving prize money to the
navy. His statement was generally APP
p]auded. Later Mr.. Berry alluded to
the situation in the Philippines. He
had not decided. he said how he would
stand on the proposition to annex
those islands, but he wanted it dis
tinctly understood that the backing

shall this act be construed as changing
the titles of officers in the staff corps
of the navy.
Mr. Bailey. dem. Texas. objected to
the abolition of the rank of commodore.
Our greatest sea captains he said had
held that rank in the hour of their vic
t0ries-Perry. Jones, Farragut. SchIey
and Dewey. American traditions clung
about the title of commodore. and he
was opposed to it's abolition to meet the
social distinction of foreign powers and
timent, but he preferred an American
sentiment to the etiquette of a. foreign
court. tApplause).
Mr.. Dayton explained that the title
of commodore was unknown abroad
and that on state occasions they did not
know where to place a commodore.
They may not know where to place
an American commodore a the dance"

where to place him in the battle" CAP
