INQUIRY,

An Object Lesson by the Miles Board OF
Inquiry.
WASHINGTON, March 2.-The feature
of the days session of the court of in
quiry into General Miles beef charges
was an object lesson in canned meats
prepared by the court and served to the
non-commissioned men who testified at
the hearing. The court had had pre-
pared eight plates of beef, fresh beef,
canned beef that had been to Cuba and
back and canned beef fresh from the
factory. Four plates were prepared hot
in stew and four cold as they came
from the can. the fresh beef being
boiled to make it resemble the others.
The enlisted men were ordered to sam
pie each and say which was the sort
they had had in Cuba. 1t was trying
ordeal for the men, most of them de-
claring that none of the plates looked
anything like what they had eaten in
Cuba. By repeated assurances that
there was
Campaign Beef in Two of the Plates
and after being urged that they should
at least choose 'to 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 guesses 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 pub
lie, however, and will be reserved until
DR.. Bowden testifes, probably some
time this week.
The most interesting witness Of the
day was Lieutenant Ramsay, Ninth in
fantry, who had served as commits
sary officer at Baiquiri and Santiago
and who characterized the canned roast
beef as ian unpalatable and upinviting
grade Of inferior meat which he
would not willingly feed to any man,
sick OF well.

WASHINGTON. March 2.--The German
government has set at rest efectually
the runners Of a purpose on its part, di-
rectly ,or indirectly, to EN- barass the
United States m The Philippine islands
and has given signal manifestation Of
its desire to .: omote the most cordial
relations between Germany and the
United States by ordering the. with
drawal Of all vessels of its navy from
the Philippine islands and placing the
lives and property Of it's subjects there
under the protection of the United
States.

The news of the withdrawal of Ger
many came at the close of a day that
had been full of sensational rumors of a
clash between Germans and Americans
in Manila, the rumors even going to the
extent of saying that Admiral Dewey
had fred on and sunk German vessel
in Manila bay. These rumors spread
despite the fact that the cable connect

at the close of the day and after the Of

the state department of a purpose to
order its vessels away from the Philip
pines with formal application to the
United States government to undertake
the protection of all the Germans in the
Philippines, not only in person, but in
