Statement Issued by the Filipino Junta
at Hong Kong.

Statement Issued by the Filipino Junta
at Hong Kong.
HONG KONG, Feb. 23.-The following
statement has been issued by the Fill
pino junta here:
Information, which has leaked
through the Pinkertons sent by Presi-
dent Mckinley to investigate the ship
ment of arms to the Filipinos, shows
that the first shipment to Aguinaldo was
made by the order of the American gov
eminent through Consul Wildman, hence
the shipment by the Wing Fo. The
American government subsequently tele-
graphed to seize this coincident with the
change of policy to annexation. Mr.. Wild
man and Rear Admiral Dewey promised
to pay, but have not yet paid, for sub
sequent expedition by the Abbey, au-
thorized by Admiral Dewey, who after
wards seized the steamer and she is
still held. Papers respecting this are
now in the possession of the secretary of
the navy. The protestations of Ad-
miral Dewey and other Americans that
they made no promises are ridiculous"

MANILA, Feb. 23.-While the guns on
the city walls and those on board the
ships of Rear Admiral Dewey's fleet in
the bay, fired a salute in honor of Wash
ington's birthday, four commissioners
from the island of Negros had an inter-
view with Major General Otis, and in
formed him that the American flag had
already been raised over that island,
and that its inhabitants were ready,
anxious and willing to accept any prop
osition the Americans might offer. The
insurgents have been driven from the
island entirely. Although the Iloilo
rebels have given the people of Negroes
much trouble, especially in the matter
of financial assistance demanded by the
rebel leaders, the inhabitants of Negros
have persistently held aloof and now,
through the commissioners, announced
that they wanted the advice and help
of General Otis. The latter assured
them that the Americans would pro-
vide an acceptable COVE ,nment and in
the meantime he instructed them not to
pay the rebels anything. The Negros
commissioners were delighted with
their reception.

ARMY BEEF.
Dr.. Daly's Evidence Postponed to Allow
Contractors t. Be Represented.

DE-. Days Evidence Postponed to Allow
Contractors t. Be Represented.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-When the
court of inquiry to investigate the army
beef controversy met, Colonel Davis, the
recorder, announced that the examina-
ton of witnesses so far summoned and
reported was about concluded. The
court should consider now the questions
of further summons and procedure at
his suggestion the court went into Sc
cret session. When the executive ses-
sion concluded DR.. William H. DAILY Of
Pittsburg, who was major and con-
sulting surgeon of volunteers during the
war and who testified before the COM
mission that he had discovered by chem
ical analysis boracic and salcyclic acid
in refrigerated beef furnished the army.
His examination was conducted slowly
and with great care, developing with
minuteness all of DR.. Days duties
while attached to General Miles staff.
These, beside those of an army surgeon,
consisted in making special reports to
General Miles on camp sites, water sup
plies and the like. The recorder very
carefully developed the fact that most
of these reports were verbal or tele-
graphic, differing from the now famous
meat report which was the cause of DR..
Daily being summoned as witness.
DR.. Days testimony was soon sus-
pended in order that the Chicago pack
ers might be represented when he is ex-
amined specifically as to his allegations
that the beef was chemically prepared.
Lieutenant Colonel Charles D. Viele
of the First cavalry, another officer of
the regular army who had been through
the Shafter campaign, followed with a
long recital Of his experience with
canned roast beef. He declared his
regiment had nothing else on the trans
port going over, while in Cuba and on
the trip back. He said it gave no salts
faction and much of it was thrown
away. Regarding the refrigerator beef
he said he ate some once-that was
enough for him.
Brigadier General Hawkins was next
called. He said he knew little about
the beef question, although he had
heard complaints against the quality at
various times.
Other witnesses were Captain Duncan
of the Twenty-frst infantry, Captain
Hughes of the Thirteenth infantry, Cap
tain Ennis of the Fourth artillery, Gen
eral Sumner, Major Lee of the Ninth
infantry and Captain jackson of the
Seventh infantry. All declared the
canned beef nauseating, but found little
fault with the refrigerated article.

rears of pay of the soldiers returned

Canadians Are Blamed for Failure to
Agree on q Treaty.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-Without any
purpose to start flood of recrimination
the American members of the Canadian
high commission feel that they have not
been to blame for the failure of the me-
gotiations, but feel that they are justi-
fed in the statement that they have
made concession after concession. It is
supposed that reasons Of internal policy,
founded on the belief that they would
be in better position before the session
of parliament just beginning if able to
assert that they had refused to sacrifice
Canadian interests, may have animated
the Canadian members of the commits
sion in their course. 1t is just possible
that better results may attend further
conference of the joint body, next sum-
mer, but while the officials here regret
exceedingly the failure so far to reach
an agreement it is possible the Ameri-
can side has made their last concession
and that the Canadians cannot expect
any better terms than they have at
present.
