BEEF INVESTIGATORS
HAVE r1ADE REPORT.
They Find Gen. Miles Was Mistaken
and They Also Censure Former
COmmissary General Eagan.

Washington, May 1.-The Wade court
OF inquiry has concluded it's work in con-
nection with the allegations OF General
Miles concerning the beef supplied TO the
army during the war with Spain. The
report was signed by every member OF
the board. Colonel Davis. the recorder
OF the court, carried the official copy OF
the findings to the war department, and
In the absence OF Secretary Alger de-
livered IL TO Acting Secretary Meikle-
John. Mr.. Meiklejohn Immediately
sealed the document in an envelope and
forwarded it to the White House, whence
IT was dispatched forthwith to the presi-
dent In New York.
The report is Of about 30. 900 words and
goes fully into the questions which have
been raised In connection with the army
beef. The text has not been made pub
lie and Will not be until after the presf-
dent shall have read IL. 1t will then rest
with him TO say when the report shall be
given TO the public.
The verdict. however. Is known 10 be
that the allegations which General Miles
made before the war investigating COM
mission are not sustained with reference
TO the refrigerated beef, although his
contention that the canned roast beef
was not a suitable continuous ration is
admitted. There is direct criticism of
General Miles for failing TO promptly
bring to- the attention OF the war depart
ment the reports made 10 him concern
ing bad beef. and several individuals"
are censured for failing to observe the
proprietes of their position as com
manding officers in this and other re-
spects
The court takes the position that the
testimony is conclusive that both the re-
frigerated beef and the canned beef were
in good condition when delivered to the
government and continued SO until is
sued TO the troops except in especial in
stances. where the deterioration was due
to accidental conditions in transporta-
tion or TO the influences OF the tropical
climate. The report admits the liability
OF refrigerated beef TO taint quickly after
removal from the ice chests. The court
finds the charges of "embalmng" the
fresh beef TO have been unsubstantiated
by the testimony. and says no chemicals
were used TO preserve II. Ii also finds

II believe that, when peace has been

and dislike US, but these sentiments,
which are perhaps not unnatural, will
