Absence OF Advices From Otis Not Wor-
rying the Administration.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-No disap-
pointment was expressed at the war de-
partment because General Otis had
made no report. It was taken to mean
that things were progressing we'll and
conditions indicated in the last dis
patch continued. War department Off
cials are firmly convinced that the back
bone of the insurrection is broken, and
that while there may be raids from time
to time by bands of marauders, the
main body of the troops will surrender
It is said that when the Filipinos who
surrender find that they are we'll treat
ed and fed; that the wounded are cared
for, and food is sent to the suffering,
there will be less inclination to continue
hostilities. Those who are so treated
and sent to their homes, it is believed
will be missionaries among their people
in favor of the United States.

He Also Claims to Have Been
Misquoted by the War
Commission.
Inspector Breckenridge Gives His
Opinion Contractors Were
to Blame.

WASHINGTON, April 5.--Dr. DAILY,
whose report to General Miles was an
important factor in starting the beef
investigation, testified at length before
the army board of inquiry. In the
course of his testimony he claimed to
have been misquoted by the war inves-
tigating commission in the statement
given to the press.
Speaking of the beef on the transport
Panama, which the troops could not
eat, he said he was satisfied that the
beef had been chemically prepared
that it had been embalmed in fact.
After his reports had gone in, he had,
in order to satisfy his own mind, made a
chemical test of residuum from beef
used on the Panama. and had found
distinct evidence of the presence of
boric and salicylic acids. He then re-
ferred again to the report of the COM
mission, in which reference had been
made to the use of these drugs, the in
timation being that atrace of them
would not be injurious. : Replying, DR..
DAILY asserted that the chemicals were
detrimental to health and could only be
used at the peril of those taking them.

II Herr Rose Issued Proclamation He
Exceeded His Authority.
BERLIN, April 5.-Dr. Van Hamann,
under secretary of the German foreign
Office, was asked for statement regard
ing the charge made by Admiral Kautz,
q. S. NJ, against Herr Rose, the Ger.
man consul at Apia. He said:
"That is Admiral Kautz's view. The
other view is that the whole trouble
came by others interfering in the royal
election. We have no official news
about Herr Rose having issued a procla-
nation. We cannot tell what its con-
tents are. Impartial as we have been
in pr. Raffel's case, I can say that if
Herr Rose issued a provocative procla-
nation, we shall disavow it. That
Herr Rose protested at the consuls
meeting we know, but that is a differ
ent thing from a proclamation"

METAL TRADING CHECKS.
Judge Loohren Will Decide Whethe,
Their Use II Illegal.

Judge Lochren VIII Decide Whether
Their Use Il Illegal.
ST. PAUL, April 5.-Judge Lochren is
called upon to decide whether or not
the metal trading checklist that are now
used largely in the country towns of
the state are used in violation of the
federal coinage laws.
Mr.. Roussopoulos, the proprietor of
the Northwestern Stamp works, is the
defendant in the case. Among other
things he manufactures large number
Of metal trading checks. These checks
are made for merchants who use them
in their business The trade in them
has grown to very large proportions,
and to satisfy many complaints and re-
quests for information, the authorities
had Mr.. Roussopoulos arrested for q
violation of the counterfeiting laws.
Arc in General Use.
The use of these tokens or trading
checks has become so general in some
parts Of the state as to almost do away
with the circulation Of coins of any
other description. They are issued by
country merchants, in some cases in
great quantities. Captain Lawrence,
the special treasury agent in st. Paul,
says he has carefully investigated the
matter and believes that the use Of
them should be done away with.
The principal use Of the checks is by
general stores in the country. A farmer
brings in his produce to sellNand is paid
tor it in these checks. The checks are
good for trade only at the store issuing
them. But from the fact that the stores
refuse to pay for produce in any
other currency, they soon come to be
accepted by all other stores, as the
farmers selling produce have no other
coin to spend. In this way their circu-
lation becomes general in certain local
tiles. Cases have even been found
where people insisted on buying postage
stamps and money orders at postofaces
with them, and were much offended
when the postmaster refused to accept
them,

Western Passenger Agents Learn More
About Pacific Coast Rates.
ST. PAUL, April 8. Western passen-
ger agents received another shock when
they learned that the Great Northern

North Pacific coast points for basing

These rates appear in the Eastern rate
sheets, and as these sheets are changed
only twice q year the low rates cannot
be withdrawn until September, and the
prospects for adjusting differences be.
fore next fall appear to be gloomy.

RUNG IN A COLD DECK.

Inspector Breckinridge Gives His Opinion
Of Army Beef
New YORK, April 5.-Inspector Cen
eral j. G. Breckenridge, who has just re-
turned from Porto Rico, is quoted in q
World interview as saying:
"It is my opinion that the govern
ment intended to furnish the American
troops with food the like of which had
been never seen by the army Of any
country. Think that the contractors,
to use a vulgar term, .rung in cold
deck
..The canned roast beef was largely
unfit for use. It had no nutrition. The
corned beef was not bad at all.
81 put some of the canned roast beef
in my saddle bags and carried it over
to General Lawton's headquarters. I
gave it to one of the staff officers and
remarked to him: Here is treat for
you He at once opened one of the
cans and the appearance of the food
and the odor emitted nauseated him.
"Our men, both at Porto Rico and
Cuba, seemed to be in excellent spirits
and the presence of the regiments has
had an excellent effect on the natives.
''In Porto Rico the people are divided
into three classes pro-Spanish auton-
omists represent about Is per cent of
the population, but they are preaching
the doctrine that islanders have only
changed one taskmaster fer another,
and that the Americans are fully as
tyrannical as the Spaniards.
..The pro-Spanish recognize the i'm
portance Of a we'll established govern
ment, and the annexationists naturally
favor American rule. Nevertheless
there is enough discomfort to warrant
the belief Of trouble at any time.
Elm Cuba the natives are quarreling
among themselves and that means
trouble for us at some time. Gomez is
a willy old man, and when it comes to
diplomacy, he can give the average
American plenty of leewsy and come
