Insurgent Governor of Cavite Sur
renders to Gen. Otis-Says M
tiNes Are Sick of War.

Manila, March 24.-Francesco Valen-
cia, insurgent governor of the prov
ince of Cayite, escaped into the Amer
lean lines Thursday and came to Manila,
where he presented himself to Gen
Otis. He gave the American military
governor all the information he pos
sessed regarding the insurgent forces,
and told remarkable stories of the
cruelty and deception practiced by
Aguinaldo and his assistant leaders up
on the natives in order to keep up the in
surrection. There are, according to
Gov. Valencia, between 10000 and 3d.
900 insurgents, armed with Mausers
and Remingtons, between Manila and
Malolos. The main force of Aguinaldo's
army is at Malolos, the insurgent cap
ital, where intrenchments are being
thrown up day and night.
The mass of natives are sick of war
and the idea of independence. They are
fighting under fear of death and the
threats of leaders. Valencia says the
people recognize there is no hope bat
Ting against the Americans. but they
dare not refuse to fight. He believes
that the insurrection viii collapse when
the American troops advance, smashing
the insurgent force and exposing
Aguinaldo's false stories of victories.
Aguinaldo threatens to punish with
death any person who advises peace eX-
cept on terms of absolute independ-
ence

ROOSEVELT ON THE STAND.
Tie DenOunces the Army Raiionx in
His Testimony Before the
Court of Inquiry.

New York, March 27.-Gov. Roosevelt
appeared before the court of inquiry
Saturday and gave important testimony
concerning army beef. He said he
heard the first complaints as to the beef
when he was aboard ship at Tampa. He
said he himself tasted of the meat, but
could not eat it. He never heard any
one say, however, that canned roast
beef was an unfit ration" The re-
frigerated beef, he said, was generally
good. The canned roast beef was tut
terly and hopelessly unacceptable"
Mai Lee was about to ask ques-
when the governor interrupted to say
le wished TO speak of the talk of the
'embalmed beef"
when we left Tampa" he said, two
,r three-quarters of beef were put
aboard our ship. / was told to put it in
the shade l understood it was spe-
,ially treated for the tropics. 1t did
lot last, and board of investigation de-
sided 10 throw it overheard"
Gov. Roosevelt said he had submitted
reports regarding the rations through
the regular army channels in July, and
again on September 10. These reports
we're omitted from the published rec
ords of the war department, but were
to be printed, so he said, in the next
report.
Maj. Lee applied to the court TO or
der copy of Gov. Roosevelts report,
to be made part of the minutes of the
proceedings.
Gen. Wade ruled in compliance with
the motion, and Gov Roosevelt said that
there were some supplementary re-
ports TO the report of September 10,
which he considered very important.
They include" he said, the state
ments of two captains, four lieutenants,
a surgeon and Capt. Brown, of the reg
ular service"
will you tell u.s." said Maj. Lee.
what, in your opinion, is the value of
the canned roast beef issued at Cuba
and elsewhere, as an army ration?"
Il wish 10 say, unhesitatingly, that
It was utterly unfit and unwholesome
for troops. My experience proves be-
yond shadow of doubt or question,
that at its best the canned roast beef
was unpalatable, and at its worst il
was UNBEATABLE and unwholesome."
