TEDDY" TESTIFY
THE BEEF INVESTIGATING COURT
POSTPONES IT'S TRIP TO
CHICAGO.
Governor of New York and Other Vol
unteer officers Will Be Called as
Witnesses This Week-Miles Will
Probably Be Recalled to Answer
Questions Regarding Interviews.

Washington, Feb. 26.-The army
court of inquiry has determined to
postpone its trip t. Chicago until after
next week. This action was decided
upon at an executive session yesterday,
when it was announced that the exami-
nation of witnesses to appear next
week could not be concluded until af-
ter March l..
The witnesses to be examined next
week will nearly all be officers of the
volunteer army and representatives of
the packing house firms interested in
the charges made against their pro-
ducts.
Governor Roosevelt may be one of
the witnesses. and he will be followed
by other volunteer officers until
Wednesday, when the representatives
of Armour & Co. and Swift & Co>are
expected to take the stand. The ex-
animation of the latter is merely pre-
liminary, however. TO secur certain in
formation upon which to base a fuller
inquiry when the court reaches Chi
cago.
1t was stated today by Colonel Davis,
recorder of the court. that it is not
unlikely that General Miles will be re-
called. He will probably lot appear
until after the return of the court from
the west, when DR.. DAILY will also again
be summoned.
It is possible that when General
Miles testifies again he will be ques-
toned further about the alleged news
paper interviews regarding the "em-
balmed" beef. When berore the court
he explained, regarding the publication
in the New York Herald, that he had
a letter from the writer, who was will
ing to swear that he had not given him
any interview, but believing that
something had been given out he had
made the article up.
This alleged interview, however, was
in other papers than the Herald. In
the New York Tribune of Feb. l, the
same day the Herald interview was
published, was a statement preceded
by the following:
ITO a reporter Of the local branch Of
a press association, which furnishes
city news to the papers in the United
States. General Miles talked ! n a guard
ed manner last night
Following this is a denial by General
Miles of a certain interview and then
comes the words: Later Genera
Miles made this statement" This is
followed b a quoted statement in which
General Miles, among other things, is
made to say: 81 nave overwhelming
evidence that the 'embalmed' e was
treated with chemicals in order to pre-
serve it. have affidavits from men
who saw the beef undergoing the treat
ment or embalming process"
The statement in the New York Tri-
bune is found on Feb. l, in other prom
inent papers and is identical with the
publication by the Tribune.

ALBERT G.
THE COLORADO BABIES.

The Denver papers have from time
to time been full OF woeful tales of
hardships purported to have been suf-
fered by Colorado volunteers at Ma
Mia. A Nebraska soldier writing to
relatives in Denver sizes up the general
class of kickers.
The Denver Post says: There is
one man at least in the far-off Philip
pines who is satisfied with that coun-
try, with the United States, and who is
glad he is alive. This nan is ]. w.
Stapleton of company A of the First
Nebraska volunteers. Private Staple
ton pays his respects to the Colorado
soldiers by designating them as babies,
who wan to get home to their moth
ers.
Mr.. Stapleton is a brother of Mrs. E.
A. Bodie of 1888 Seventh street, Den
yer. He has written the following let
ter to Mr.. and Mrs. Bodie:
Manila. Jan. dear Brother and
Sister: Your letter came to hand and

good health.
I'VE are now situated out in the
country at Santa Mesa, about three
miles, l should guess. from the city
proper. The weather here is fine, not
much rain, and we have cold nights
and a small breeze is blowing most of
the time. l don't think we will be
coming home for some time yet, and it
may be that we will be here the full
length of our enlistment.
"I hear that the Colorado boys are
all kicking because they are not fed
better, and kicking at everything that
comes up. For my part, I think things
have been run here Just about as well
as it was possible to run them. These
soldiers for your state, l dare say, new
err were used to better chuck h a they
are getting now, for I know that none
OF them are starving, and have never
been in that condition. But they seem
to be Americans and will kick II there

all the kicking Is mostly done by the
men that are homesick, and the ones
that should not have been allowed to
leave their mothers yet. A baby has
no business in the army, l don't care
from what state or country he halls.
"'You will find these human mis-
taxes in all regiments, and l cannot tell
how they are to be kept out, for they

GERMAN ~EQUTvOCATION.

The following article is taken from
the American" of January 18th and
shows a phase of the situation which
the recent telegrams of Dewey for the
Oregon proves to be serious. Prof. r.
vine, who is referred to, is believed to
have been a former resident of Chey-
enne:
In last Saturdays issue was pub
lished an article which contained a ref
erence to the active part taken by the
citizens of the Fatherland-who are
now residing in Manila-in co-operat-
ton with the discretionary move
ment. The article stated:
1T is further alleged that German
merchants are in sympathy with the
leader of the Colorado band, was an
eye witnesses to a German merchant
paying into the hands of n of the in
surgent commissioners $50, and Prof.
Irvine states that the merchant ac-
companied his donations with best
wishes for success. AS a further evil
dence of the fact that they are hand
in glove with the insurgent army, is
found in an order issued by the Ger
man consul last night to German mer-
chants to close their doors today. This
would indicate that the Germans are
in receipt of a tip as to the outbreak
scheduled to take place some time to-
day"
This statement appears to have rails
ed the ire of the members of the Ger
man colony in this city, for on Sunday
last a meeting was held and as a result,
when Monday morning dawned, the
following letters were hastily dispatch
ed to the office of the American.
Manila, Jan. Is, 1899.
Editor The American.
Sir: When you intend to make any
statements in your paper concerning
my actions and il you desire to be cor
rect, you might first take the trouble
and obtain confirmatory information
at my office, Gale General Solano, M.
l., San Miguel.
This would prevent your publishing
any gross and absurd inventions-like
the one with reference to me in your
issue OF yesterday-and it will ave
me the trouble and annoyance of hav-
ing to address you, as in this present
instance.
You will do me the favor to publish
this letter in your next number. | re-
main, sir,
Yours respectfully,
KRUGER, DR.,
German Consul.
From other letters it would seem that
the German merchants have decided
upon a boycott against this office. If
so, well and good. 1t is a poor rule
that does not work both ways, and we
would remind the German merchants
that the American soldiers have spent
many a dollar with them.
If the German consul deems it neces-
sary. this paper is in a position to quote
a few other facts regarding the ques-
tion under discussion, and unless some
Of his citizens are not more careful in
the future than they have been in the
past, 1t is possible the consul will be
