Maj. W. II. DAILY, Chief Surgeon with
Gen, Miles, whose report condemning the
beef furnished tho Army during the wal
| with Spain created sensation some
weeks ago, appeared as witness before
the War Investigating Commission las,
| by his report. 1t was wholly voluntary
and was not called out by any request OF
In obedience to any circular or letter, sc
far as he remembered.
At Tampa, on shipbOard, he said he had
noticed a quarter OF beef hanging in the
sun. III Observed" he said, that the
flies did not alight on it, or II they did
they got away from it very quickly" He
cut off piece of the beef and cooked it
but it neither smelled nor tasted natur-
ally. Subsequently he had trouble with
his stomach.
On the Panama, coming over from
Ponce, he had made some tea, or soup
from the refrigerated beef, the same thai
had been condemned, had filtered it and
sealed it Theoretically in a can, and when
he reached his home at Pittsburg had
analysed it. From this he got lightish
brown residium. This, he said, disclosed
the characteristics of borax and salicylic
acid. Dr. DAILY urged that he be permitted
TO demonstrate the test. 1t was arranged
to have Prof. Clarke, of the Geological
Survey here, examine the powder.
DR.. DAILY explained the process of treat
ing beef chemically. The bOracic acid OF
salicylic acid, he said, was sprinkled
upon the meat in the shape of powder,
and that which would not adhere was
brushed off. The meat was then hung in
a room where it was kept cold by means
of ammonia salts. This was one
means OF preserving meat, but there were
other methods.
Prof. +. w. Clarke later reported to the
War Investigating Commission that his
test OF the powder furnished by Surgeon
DAILY as being the residuum from the
boiling down of a portion of the con-
demned beef on the Panama, disclosed
the presence of both boric and salicylic
acids. Prof. Clarke took the witness
stand and was closely examined.
Asked as to the effect on health of using
beef injected with the boric acid. witness
said it would be relatively harmless, but
that the use of salicylic acid would be
different and was prohibited by most
European countries. The use OF boric
acid on meat furnished troops, in his
opinion, would be of very little Importance
from a health view, but the salicylic acid
would be Objectionable.

UNFOUNDED
Are tie Reports Of pisafection Among
the Natives Of Porto Rico.

San Juan, De Porto Rico, March lS.-
The reports contained in the news
papers just received here, alleging that
danger exists of an uprising of h ma
tives, are regarded with establishment
and are absolutely without foundation
in fact. The only disturbances that
have occurred here have been mere
local fights between the American vol
unteers and lower class natives.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press, who has Just returned from an
extended trip through the island, says
he found only occasional evidences OF
dissatisfaction resulting from brawls
and local politics. American officers
now here ridicule the idea of an up
rising of the natives, who, they say, are
without weapons and are entirely lack
ing in organization.
The colonial commission appointed
by President Mckinley will hear the
testimony presented, which, 1t is ex-
pected, will be contradictory, and after
consideration, will advise the author
tiles mainly upon political questions.
The Americans seek the establish
ment of a federal court and a number
of aspirants for judgeships have re-
quested Governor General Henry to
recommend them for appointment.
Gen. Henry, however, refused their
request.
The commission has refused to make
public the nature of its discussions.
The members will leave shortly for the
western part of the island.
