Lieutenant Ramsay smelled it. tasted it

was decidedly better beef than any he

he had handled at his barracks, but he
still did not feel like recommending it
as good thing TO feed soldiers.
He had reported his opinion of the

Doctor Mixed Those Dishes Up.

BY repeated assurances that there
was campaign beef in two of the plates
and after beirg urged that they should
at least choose ITO the best of their be-
lief" the court succeeded in getting an
expression of opinion from each of the
men. An army surgeon, DR.. BOwden.
kept tally on the EUesses of the men
and changed the positions Of the plates
after each witness had left the room.
The result Of this record was not made
public. however. and Will be reserved
till DR.. Bowden testifies. probably some
time this week. The most interesting
witness OF the day was Lieutenant
Ramsay, Ninth infantry. who had
served as cOmmissary officer at Bal
quiri and Santiago. and who character
lied the canned roast beef as AN I'M
palatable and uninviting grade of in
ferior meat which he would not will
irgly feed to any man, sick or well.
