STRAIN TELLING ON DEWEY.
British Captain Says the Admiral Ia
Not Able to Stand 1t Much
Longer.

Vancouver, B. c., March 9. - Capt.
Fraser, of London, late of the British
imperial forces. arrived Wednesday di.
rect from Manila. where he had the
honor of dining with Admiral Dewey.
Capt. Fraser said: =
1.-The war at Manila will have to end soon
or the life of the great American admiral
will be worth nothing. dined with him at
Manila within month, and am convinced
that if he is not relieveds of the terrible
strain imposed upon him he cannot last
month longer. AS he sat at the banquet
table, surrounded by his staff, he looked to
me like a dying man. His hair is snowy
white. his face ,ashen, and he ate hardly
anything. had the pleasure of few min
utes' conversation with him when we re-
tired to the smoking-room. Having in
mind his enfeebled appearance, asked him
If he thought of returning to America soon
I would like to-, but my work is by no
means finished here. When it is, and only
then, will 1 return
II am thoroughly convinced that only
the admiraps indomitable will has kept
him up so long. The strain. on him is ter
rible, and the climatic conditions have re-
duced him to- a shadow. His officers and
men worship him. AS an English officer,
and knowing the magnificent work he has
done, have the greatest admiration for
him.
Zone of his officers said to me just before
left Manila: The war will be ended by
the admiral soon, or it will end him. No
man can stand such strain as he does in
this climate and live long,"

THE BEEF INQUIRY.


Chicago, March 13.-Maj. Frederick
A. Smith, adjutant general on the staff
of Gen. Shafter in Cuba, and who is
sued much of the beef, canned and
fresh, to the army in Cuba and Porto
Rico, told the army beef inquiry board
Saturday that his experience with it
was very satisfactory. His testimony
as to the condition of the beef when
it arrived in Cuba was pointed and val
liable as to it's good character. He said
it was in good condition when he un-
loaded it from the transports, but that
the ,commissaries left their wagons
standing for hours in the tropical sun
while they attended to. getting other
supplies. He was not willing to charge
the officers with neglect. but admitted
that the system had something to do
with the delays. He said the beef was
unloaded at night and could have been
delivered to the troops at daylight in
stead of at midday and in the evening.
Dr. W. S. Devoe is chief inspector of
the bureau of animal industry, depart
ment of agriculture, who has charge OF
inspection at The stock yards. On di-
rect examination DR.. Devoe explained
the methods of his bureau and declared
that in bis opinion no chemicals were
used in refrigerati ting beef and that the
meat used for canning was of good
quality.
The first question put on cross-ex-
animation by Maj. Jesse NJ. Lee, the
representative of Gen. Miles, was as fol-
lows: ''Were you not sent there in
1894, when you were travelling inspect
or OF the bureau, to investigate charges
that bottomless rendering tanks were
being used and that condemned meat
was taken from them and sold ?" DR..
Devoe replied: 80
Il reported that the meat had been
| removed from the top of the rendering
tanks. 1 did not find that there were
bottomless tanks. The evidence on
that line was from discharged en-
ployes and was unsatisfactory. The
fact is, man was let down with ropes
after the inspector had left the tank
age room, and he would fasten the ends
to carcasses, which were then pulled
up. I understood the meat was sold
to local Dealers"
DR.. Devoe said he did not investigate
the recent charges that some con-
demned meat found it's way into the
canneries. He said there was no man
datory requirement to investigate the
| canneries, but that his men made oc-
casional visits there. He adhered to
his previous statement that the meat
used, although from the cheaper grade
OF cattle, was wholesome. He denied
any knowledge of the use of chemicals
in the beef department. and said it was
impossible for any meat from outside
sources to find its way to the canneries
without. detection by his men.

IN FULL RETREAT.
FiHpinOs Are Falling Back Before
the Advance of Gen. WheatOn's
i American Soldiers.

Manila, March 13.-10:5O 4. m.-Gen.
Wheaton's newly formed divisional
brigade advanced at seven o'clock this
morning from San Pedro Macati for
the purpose of corralling the enemy.
1t is now moving on Pasig, meeting
with slight resistance, as the rebels are
in full retreat. A gunboat is clearing
the jungle along the river banks which
have been carried as far as Guadalupe.
The purpose of the move is to clear the
country to Laguna de Bay. In all
probability the current week will see
the beginning of an active campaign
on scale hitherto unknown to the FL
ipinos. For the last few days there has
been unusual activity at headquarters,
and there is every indication of COM
plete reorganization of the entire corps
in the near future.
The Filipinos apparently had planned
an attack upon the lines of Gen. Otis
and Gen. Hale Sunday morning. but
their courage seemed to fail them,
though they fred signals and after
ward kept up the fusillade along the
American front for an hour. Our
troops, in obedience to orders, re-
Trained from shooting, with the ex-
ception of two companies of newly-ar
rived men, who replied until they had
suppressed regiment of Aguinaldo's
red brigade. This body of rebels
seemed under better leadership than
most of the others, and a white man
was seen among the officers, endeavor-
ing to lead them to the attack, but ap-
parently all efforts to induce them to
leave the trenches were futile.
The American authorities in Manila
say the city is now so effectively
policed that serious outbreak is in-
possible. They believe that the ma
tives are cowed. The presence of the
families of officers is discouraged. and
many are leaving on board the United.
States transport, some going to Japan
for temporary residence. Gen. Otis has
remarked: Manila is no place for
women. This is war, not picnic.-
Although the rain which fell Sunday
morning has cooled the temperature to
SS2 degrees, many dropped from the
ranks, overcome by heat. Several SOL
diers were sunstruck in the streets of
Manila Sunday morning. Most of them
were men not yet acclimated. Brig.
Gen. Charles King has recovered from
his indisposition and resumed COM
mand at the San Pedro Macati bridge.

Fire totally destroyed the three-story
stone building at Kittsondale occupied
as a dormitory by Concordia college.
The loss is estimated at 81, 900 on the
building and $1,000 on contents. It is
thought the fire started from an over
heated chimney. When the fire depart
ment came nothing could be done to
save the structure, and all efforts were
devoted to adjoining property.

tuition, was badly burned about. the

by the Evangelical Lutheran Synod in
1894 for $4,000. It was one of St.
