Refrigerated Reef Condemned.

He acknowledged that there were some
complaints about the refrigerated beef, and
about 1900 pounds Were condemned, he
was certain from personal knowledge.
Whenever the men lost their beef in this
way they We're given more beef or bacon
as they chose. Col. Gallagher said that he
found almost no spoiled canned roast beef
while he was in Santiago. When the army
returned TO Montauk he issued ten days
travel rations to the men, in which canned
beef figured as the meat component. Some
canned cOrned beef was on hand, but not
enough to issue for this purpose.
He examined in Cuba the refrigerated
beef that arrived on the Massachusetts and
Port Victor. and II seemed to be good beef.
His only previous knowledge of refriger-
ated beef had been gained at Camp Thomas,
where there had been no comp aint. This
kind of beef issued at Santiago was as
good as any he had ever seen before So
far as he knew he had no reason to sus-
pect chemical treatment of it. He said that
there was always q fnli meat ration issued
out admitted That at first there had been a
shortage of salt sugar soap candles and
other articles. The only objection he heard
made to the canned roast beef was that il
was tasteless. and therefore the men did
not like ii. He had eaten it quite fire.
quently, but did not like it, He said he
did not think it a thing the soldiers should
be forced to eat for any great period AS
a substitute for fresh beef to be used every
other day, he thought then and stin thinks
| 1t the best substitute to be found in tbis
country or anywhere else.
