THE REPORT
OF the Wade Court of Inquiry. Will
Declare General Miles Charges I'm
founded.

WASHINGTON. April 1S.-The army
court of inquiry has begun the framing Of
it's report. While a few minor matters
remain for examination, they are not
such as to affect the main issues. II is
regarded as certain that the court will
find that Gen. Miles's charges that en-
balmed or chemically prepared beef was
sent to the army have not been sustained
The position of the court Is believed 10
be that the testimony is conclusive that
both the refrigerated bee fand the canned
beef were in good condition when deliv
cred to the government and continued so
until issued TO the troops. except that
portion damaged in transportation or af-
fected by tropical condition. and 10
these causes OF injury and these condi-
tons the chief causes OF trouble will be
attributed. 1t will be shown that the
refrigerated beef after being taken from
the ice in the tropical climate spells quick
Iy unless well cared for. and thar the
canned beef after being opened. because
of the great heat. becomes repulslve in
appearance and soon unpalatable. But the
court will hold as the result of the chem
ical Investigations by experts that the
canned beef is wholesome and nutritious.

The capture of the Yorktown's men
was discussed with much feeling In
naval circles. The misfortune was felt
with added keenness, as the navy has
prided itself thus far on immunity from
reverses. The admirals despatch OF
to-day was the first knowledge the de-
partment had that the Yorktown had
gone on this special mission to re-
lieve the Spanish garrison at Baler.
That the capture should have been Eff
fected while the American forces were
on a mission OF mercy toward the
Spaniards, rather than in the prosecs1-
ton OF campaign. led to the belief
that Spain would have no further
ground for questioning the good faith
with which the Americans were seek

Spanish prisoners
Although the despatch gave no In

Johannesburg Fort and hold possession or the

to their assistance.
One Of the prisoners alleges that he was act

Department
In response to inquiries on the subject MADE
in Government circles II said to-day that
the statement that the men arrested at JONAH
nesburg had acted under instructions from the
British War Office was too absurd for refuta-
ton"
A number Of prominent South Africans con-
nected with the leading concerns of Johannes
burg were to-day. They all declared they
had not received a word from their own agents
in Cape Colony, indicating. they added, that the
affair was "trumped UP by the Boer po1ce'
and that in any the men arrested were IT.
responsible nobodies with fictitious military
titles affixed by the Beers, with the object OF
discrediting the British in the eyes or the Con-
tinental Powers. 1t is now believed that from
lett was formerly a captain Of volunteers IN
Cape Colony, and that he Is now mining
agent: Patterson is described as butcher ana
labor agitator; Mitchell as said TO be store
keeper; Hooper is classed carpenter; Ellis
is alleged to be a private detective, and the
occupations Of Fries and Nichols are unknown
prominent Outlander said My own view is
that few unknown and irresponsible people
met together to discuss means OF defence IN
case the necessity for such action arose Ihose
who are acquainted with johannesburg know
that such precautions are necessary. There was
the greatest unrest and ferment there when l
left The statement that there has been con-
spiracy in the last four months. and that the
South African League connected with it. Is
untrue No Outlander is allowed to possess
rife yet at every corner policemen armed
with rifles and revolvers. The feeling of alarm
on the arrival of the Boer artillery be con-
ceived.
1T is significant fact that the men arrested
are practically unknown, showing that the feel
ing. which in 1895 was limited to the capitalist
class. has now gone lower down. and has reached
the ordinary working class Of shopkeepers OF
johannesburg"
