a different way from that in which it
was canned ten years ago. To save
money and time, they have to use less
effective processes.
When the first Zulu war broke out,
1 was supplyig the English government
with canned compressed beef-not
corned beef but beef in square cans,
that had been packed by vacuum
presses. When the English troops were
defeated the savages captured over
100000 worth of this canned beef and
ate it. / never heard of their being
made sick by it, either
Seriously, though, during the whole
of the Zulu war the Wilson Packing
company shipped thousands of dollars
worth Of canned beef to the English
army, in the hottest country in the
world. Out. of all that quantity, we
never received a protest from the
English government about the beef
spelling. Some of it was kept in the
tropics for months-and eaten-and
there was no cause for complaint from
the English troops. 1t was not the
same kind of canned beef that was fur
nished to the American troops last
year.
This beef the American troops COM
planned of, as 1 understand it, was in
round cans. 1t was not what is known
as compressed beef. 1t was simply
boiled beef
Business is business. but the lives
of the American troops are worth more
than a few dollars, and I believe the
war inquiry board ought to get at the
facts 1t ought TO give some of the
people a chance to tell their stories.
L have been asked time and again
since the talk about bad beef to tell
what L think was the cause of the
canned beef spelling, if it spoiled. L
have my own opinion, but 1 am not
going TO EXPRESS it ;"

GERMANS STILL MAKE TROUBLE
MORE FIGHTING PREDICTED IN
SAMOAN ISLANDS.
German Consul Refuses to Cooperate
With British and American Rep
resentatives.

Apia. Samoa, March 10 (via Auck-
land, N. T., March 1e).-Owing to the
threats by the Mataafa people to burn
the Malieota villages in the island of
Savasf unleasthey sent taxes levied upon
them and a. number of soldiers to sup
port Mataa.fa, the British consul visit
ed Savaii on the British cruiser Por-
poise and the commander of that YES
sci threatened to shell the villages of
Mataafa's followers if peace was dis
turbed.
The British and American consuls
have issued proclamations denying the
TlTnorS in circulation to the effect that
Mataafa had been recognized, and
threatening strong action if the proyis-
ional government interfered with the
lOyalists.
The German consul refused to join
with the British and American repre-
santatiVes, and issued a proclanrati ton
upholding the provisional government,
and denying that there had been any
interference by the Malietoa party. He
added to- this document an eXtraordi-
nary paragraph. expressing the hope
that the provisional government
would be able to encounter the dan
ger caused anew to the peace of the
inhabitants by the English and Ameri-
can proclamation.
This has put more heart into the reb-
els, and, therefore, numbers of armed
warriors have gathered.
The United States cruiser Philadel-
phia, Admiral Kautz commanding, has
arrived here and the admiral has held
extended consultations with the various
consuls, Chief Justice Chambers, Cap
tain Sturdee of the Porpoise.
The provisional government has re-
moved the Malietoa prisoners to
stronghold on the mainland, firing vol
leys over their heads during the trans
fer, in order to intimidate them.
A friendly feeling is shown by the
officers and men of the American and
British navies here, The American adj
miral convened a meeting of the con-
suls, the chief justice and the captains
of the various warships, including Ger
many, on board the flagship, and it is
probable that the result will be the
of an ultimatum. 1t is
generally thought that fighting is like
" to occur.

ing What policy should be adopted to-

the authorities have consulted Senior
Gonzales Quesada, the Cuban repre-
sentative, who has advised that the
assembly be allowed to run its course
without molestation, as he holds that
it has no strength outside of IT'S own

band it would give the members an
opportunity to appear as martyrs. This
view has been accepted thus far and
may continue, although General Brooke,
being on the ground, has considerable
latitude of action.
