WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-The wal in.

Washington, Sept. 81, 1893. Assist
ant Adjutant General, Headquarters Of
Army, Washington. Sir: I have the
honor to report in the interest of the
service that in the several inspections I
made in the various camps and troop
ships at Tampa, Jacksonville, Chicka-

lieve to be detrimental to the health of
the troops.
"While on duty at the headquarters Of
the army at Tampa, at the time of the
embarkationo of the sShafter expedition
Colonel Weston, the efficient chief COM
missary, showed me a quarter of beef
that had already, as a test, been 60
hours in the sun without being percep.-
IDLY tainted, SO far as the sense of smell
cbu1d detect. It is impossible to keep
fresh beef 80 long untainted in the sun
in that climate without the use of dele
ferrous preserves, such as boric acid,
salicylic acid or nitrate of potash inject
ed into it in quantities likely to be hurt
full to the health of the At
Ponce, Porto Rico, food arriving on the
transports from the United States was
also of the same character, being appar-
emily preserved by injected chemicals to
aid deficient cold storage"

the delights OF doughnuts and pie. Mince
pie is his favorite, and he wants it hot"
