MUST PAY FOR THE MEAT.
Board of Survey Reports on That
Sent on the Manitoba.

Washington, April 26.-The board con-
and report upon the responsibility for the
loss of 5000 pounds of refrigerated beef
sent to Porto Rico last summer, has sub
mitted its report and findings.
The beef was shipped on the transport
Manitoba from Swift & Co., in Chicago
and Kansas City.
The board finds that the beef was good
and fit for issue upon its arrival at the
port of Ponce, Aug. 10, 1885, and was re-
ported to the proper military authorities,
and that this condition continued until
after the release of the Manitoba from the
reef on Aug. A. 1898, although there is rea-
son TO believe that the refrigeration was
not satisfactory during that interval
That the meat had not been subjected
to any chemical process whatever for its
preservation
Ihat the loss of this beef was due to
several causes; possible deterioration
whlie the refrigerating plant was inter-
ruptde or disturbed Aug. 10 TO Aug. a.;
exposure to high temperatures from the
time of loading on the transport to the
date OF issue at Mayaguez and after; i'm

A month elapsed after the beef was
dressed, before it reach Mayaguez. when.
Tor the hrst time issues were made, each
day adding to the difficulties. Finally,
the distribution TO the troops was such
that, under the circumstances, great loss
