THE SAMOAN QUESTION.
A. Strict Application of the Treaty to tho
Present Situation VIII be
Insisted On.

Washington. Jan. 21.-Nothing has
developed to indicate that the Samoan
trouble will pass the diplomatic stage.
Berlin will soon be the center of inter-
est in the matter. The ambassadors
of the United States and of Great Brit
ain will receive instructions from their
respective governments to insist upon
the application of strict construction
of the treaty to the present situation.
This government sees no reason as yet
to think that Germany will not agree
to a disposition of the controversy on
that basis.
The cabinet meeting was of unusual
length yesterday. Only part of the
time was given to the Samoan matter.
The sentiment expressed by two
or three members after the meeting
was that the United States ought to
maintain rigidly the position it has
held consistently until now, that of
strict observance of the treaty stipula-
lions. This course will bring the
American and British ambassadors as
much in harmony as if there was in eff
feet an actual Anglo-American alli-
ance

event Germany will not support any
possible irregularity inconsistent with
the treaty, but the foreign office Of
fcials point out that it is not yet clear
that the German consul at Apia has

that nature. On the contrary the for

explained why Mataafa's election was
declared invalid as he was admittedly
elected by an overwhelming majority.
The foreign Office admits that Ger

is provisional, though, unfortunately.

in the town of Philiatra, in the de-

coast, have been damaged, and the in
habitants are now camping out in the
suburbs. Two villages in the vicinity
of Philiatra were completely destroyed,
many people being slightly injured.
The villages of Kyparissia and Staso
were practically destroyed, though It
is not known yet whether there were
any victims there.
Much damage to property was done
at Navarino. seaport six miles north
of Modon, whose harbor witnessed the
victory of the English, French and
Russian fleets overIthose of the Turks
and Egyptians in 1927; and consider
able loss is reported from Calamata,
capital of the department. of Mes
senia, near the head of the Gulf of
Koron.
The shock was severely felt in the
district of Zante, capital of the Ionian
island of that name, but there was no
loss of life or property there. Many
slight shocks have occurred during the
day, and tonight the people at numer-
Gus towns and villages are afraid to re-
turn to their houses.
The authorities are doing all in their
power to furnish tents and supplies.

WILL QUIET MANY TITLES.
A Decision of the Commissioner of the
General Land ONCE Affirmed
by Secretary Bliss.

ST. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 22.-The land
case just decided in favor of Arch
bishop Ireland by the secretary of the
interior has been pending for num-
Der of years, and involves the homes
of large number of settlers. The
archbishop secured the lands for the
purpose of locating settlers, an Irish
colony being established, and most of
the lands have passed to these set
tiers. There still remained, however,
a good many acres not sold or only
partially paid for, and on the plea that
the archbishop had simply contract
to dispose of the lands as an agent,
an attempt was made to prevent q
transfer of those other lands. The
contention of the archbishop is sus-
tanned, and he will receive all the
lands under the second tract. Title
to the lands has been unsettled, be-
cause of these suits, for good many
years, and this final decision of the
matter will come as relief not only
to the settlers on the lands. but to ali
residents about Graceville, where the
bulk of the lands are located.

TRANSPORTS NEARLY READY,
VIII Garry n Large Quantity of Frozen
Beef to the Philippines an
Experiment..

San Francisco. Jan. 21.-The trans
ports Morgan City and Scandal have
been thoroughly overhauled and will
be ready for the reception of troops
within the next week. Stores are be-
ing placed on board the vessels and
an immense refrigerator is being fitted
up on the Scandal for cold storage
purposes. A large quantity CT fresh
frozen beef will be taken to the Phil
ippines as an experiment, and should
it prove successful future transports
will be fitted to carry fresh meat in
this fashion, thus giving the fresh beef
patronage to Pacific coast firms in
stead of to Australian and New
Zealand concerns.
The Twentieth infantry is expected
to leave Fort Leavenworth to-day,
which will bring them here in ample
time to sail on the Scandia on the
25th. The present plan is to have them
march straight from the train to the
transport to avoid any unnecessary
going into camp in the damp and Aogs
at the Presidio.

New York. Jan. 21.-During the
presence of the ordnance board a ,,ew
high explosive shell, now being teacp1
at Sandy Hook, was fired from a ~
inch gun. The charge of the shell
consists of gun cotton, detonated h.r a
special primer. AT this test the gun
was aimed at an ar1nor-plate heavily
backed up. The shot struck near the
center, penetrated the steel and ex-
ploded. After the smoke passed off
the members of the board went down
and looked for the plate. Here and
there they found few ragged pieces
of steel, but the main part of the plate
was blown off the face of the Hook A
12-inch shell fired from a mortar also
did destructive work.

Mai. w. ii. DAILY Tells About the Beef

Peculiar Taste In the Mouth.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Maj. w. HI.
DAILY, chief surgeon with Gen. Miles,
and whose field service stretched from
Tampa to Porto Rico, and whose re-
port condemning the beef furnished
the expeditionary forces created a
sensation some weeks ago, made his
long-awaited appearance as a witness
before the war investigating commits
sion. Surgeon Days report was the
strongest in language of those sub
mitted by Gen. Miles in substantial
ton of his attack on the beef supplies.
DIR. DAILY has been too ill to appear
heretofore. He was accompanied by
Gen. Miles own stenographer, despite
the presence of the commissions Off
cial stenographer.
IDENTIFIED HIS REPORT.
On being sworn the witness identi-
fed the report submitted as his own,
changing its date however, from Sep
TENDER 81 to October 81. He was will
ing, he said. to stand by his report. 1t
was wholly voluntary, and was not
called out by any request or in obedi-
ence to any circular or letter, so far as
he remembered. He had heard nothing
of an official circular calling for re-
ports. At Ponce, however some time
between August and 10, he believed
he had communicated to Gen. Miles
some observations regarding beef sup
plies. At Tampa, on ship board, he
had noticed quarter of beef hanging
free in the sun, and he became inter
ested in the experiment of having
fresh slaughtered beef placed under
such moist climatic conditions to see
how long it could stand it.
FLIES WOULDN'T TOUCH IT.
81 observed" he said, ''that the flies,
especially the bull flies, did not af-
feet it; did not light on it, or if they
did they got away from it very quick
1y. He had cut off a piece of that
beef at Tampa and cooked it, but it
neither smelled nor tasted naturally.
Later he helped the men corral some
horses and subsequently he had trou-
BILE with his stomach, which he first
attributed to the activity of corralling,
Then he noticed indications of chem
ical stuff he had used to preserve elk
in a hunting expedition in the Rocky
mountains, some years before.
LEFT AN UNPLEASANT TASTE.
All that day at Tampa, and the next
he had an unpleasant taste. In that
previous hunting experience he had
analysed the chemical preservative
and found it to contain borax and sail
cylic acid. These were to be used ex-
ternally on the elk, but he had rubbed
1T in the raw flesh and also injected it,
Questioned as to these ingredients,
he said borax was not safe to be used
in connection with food nor for or
binary medicinal purposes, while the
salicylic acid was most nauseous,
loathsome and disgusting, almost al
ways destructive of digestion.
