RO0SEVELT'S TESTIMONY.


New York, March sz-Gov. Roose-

court investigating the charges OF bad
meat being furnished the soldiers in
the Cuban and Porto Rican campaigns.
The testimony of the governor was to
the effect that the so.called canned
roast beef was bad, unattractive,
stringy and did not agree with the
men who ate it. When asked II he
had reason to believe the refrigerator
beef was treated with chemicals he said
he never thought about that, but the
meat seemed good and the men enjoyed
it, but it undou otedly gave them the
diarrhea and he attributed their i'll.

what, in your opinion, is the value OF
the canned roast beef issued at Cuba
and elsewhere as an army ration%
II wish to say unhesitatingly that 1t
was utterly unfit and unwholesome
for troops. NV experience proves be-
yond shadow OF doubt or question
that at is best the canned roast beef
was unpa,atable, aud at its worst it
was UNBEATABLE and unwhoesome
No one had any further questions to
ask the governor and the hearing was
closed. The court adjourned to Gov.
