REPORT AGAINST MILES.
Beef Inquiry Board Decided His Main
Charges We're Sot Proven.
Also Censure,I Him.

WASHINGTON, May L. The Wade
court OF inquiry Saturday made its re-
port. which was later sent to New Y 1orl
to President Mckinley by Assistant
Secretary of War Meiklejohn. 1t will
rest with the president whether it will
be made public.
The verdict. however, is known to be
that the allegations which General
Miles made before the war investigat
ing commission are not sustained with
reference to the refrigerated beef, al
though his contention that the canned
roast beef was not suitable continu-
ous ration is admitted. There is direct
criticism Of General Miles for failing TO
promptly bring to the attention of the
war department the reports made TO
him concerning bad beef, and "several
individuals" are censured for failing to
observe the proprieties of their position
as commanding officers i'll this and
other respects.
The forecast of the report as made by
The Associated Press on the 18th inst
was an accurate one. As was then
stated, the court takes the position that
the testimony is conclusive that both
the refrigerated beef and the canned
beef were i'll good condition when de
hvercd to the government and contln-
ued so until issued to the troops, ex-
cept in special instances. where the de-
.terior.ttion was due to accidental condi-
tions in transportation or to the intiu-
ences of the tropical climate.
The report admits the liability of re-
frigerated beef to faint quickly after re-
moval from the ice chests. The court
finds the charges of ''embalming" the
fresh beef to have been unsubstantiated
by the testimony and says no chemicals
We're used 10 preserve it. 1t also finds
that it would have been impracticable
to secure beef on the hoof for the Gu
ban campaign. The finding is likewise
in opposition to the assersion on the part
of General Miles that the use of the beef
was an experiment.
The fact is set forth that the canned
roast beef had not been used to any APP
preciable extent before the beginning of
this war, and it is, therefore, regarded
asia practically mtried ration. In view
of this fact the commissary general of
subsistence is roVndly criticised for the
purchase of the meat i'll such extensive
quantities

The richest man cannot always be
said to be the most successful, for true
success is not possible without happi-

and happiness of a young athlete.
Health is not hard to get and keep if
good judgment is used in caring for and
supplying the needs of the system.
Nature often needs assistance; you
sometimes abuse nature by overtaxing
your nerves, your brain, or your body,
and you haven't time to relax, and
take the rest that you need. You must
have outside help. Pabst Malt Extract,
The BEST" Tonic, will supply the ex-
ira fuel, food, and strength; it is abso-
lutely pure-an unequalled assistant to

yourself again. or perhaps. better than
you ever felt in your life. The Best"
