not already covered by the testimony Of
witnesses will be summoned to appear with
the least possible delay
This refers to the 131 officers referred to
by Gen. Miles as those he desired to have
subpoenaed by the court.
From Gen. Miles to the court:
Referring to the list of witnesses-131 in
number-I would respectfully invite your
attention to my letter of February Y, In
which / stated that I deemed the matter
under investigation of such vital import in
relation both to the health ana 10 the
honor of the United States army that L
respectfully request that company COM
manders and the enlisted men of their
commands, even to include, If necessary,
every soldier who served in the field dur
ing the war be called upon to bear witness
before your court either by oral testimony
or by answer to interrogatories) as to the
results of their own personal experience
with the beef ration issued to them.
1T Is my belief that at least 25,OOO men,
and undoubtedly much greater number,
would confirm the testimony that has al
ready been given that portion of the food
supplied the army was unwholesome and
unsuitable for use. I therefore request that
the small number of witnesses whose names
have just been submitted may be called
upon to give their testimony before your
court; and in regard to its being final
list, as 1 stated in my letter yesterday, 1
so consider 1t, although such additional
names may be added as circumstances may
develop the necessity therefor.
A recess was taken until O'Clock.
DIR. Currie Recalled.

Lieutenant Colonel d. A. Currie was re-
called to the stand. In reply to a question

Arnold had made honorable mention of him
as instructor in small arms The witness
has been connected with the New Jersey
militia for ten years. He had practiced
medicine for twenty-seven years. or since
he was twenty-three years of age.
He testified that an officer on General
Miles staff had written him saying it was
understood that he had made some chem
ical analysis of beef, and later an officer,
whose name he could not remember, called
him and he told him of his tests as he
had explained them to the court.
DR. Currie was on the stand when The

constructed for indoor racing at the Pa
vilion, is eight laps to the mile, and pro-
nounced perfect by the riders. Captain T.
