Reports of Eighty Officers Read-stxty-
seven More to be Presemted.

seven NkoIe ~ pt EsbchsSN'
Washington, April 7.-Having decided
at it's forenoon session to-day to accept
as evidence the official reports of officers
of the army, the beef inquiry court de-
voted itself to listening to the reading
of those reports. They were read by
Major Lee as the representative of Cen
eral Miles, who had read only eighty
of the 147 when the court adjourned for
the day. The reports were generally
brief statements of the personal exper-
fences of the officers or summaries of
the opinions of the men under them.
The reports bore almost exclusively on
the canned beef, but there were occa
sonal references to refrigerated beef.
The officers generally condemned the
meat as a component part of the SOL
diers ration. The complaints were that
it was stringy and tough end in many
instances it was stated that it made the
men sick and In others that hungry
though they generally were they threw
it away rather than eat it. In some
cases, however the officers reported
that they had heard no complaints of
the meat A. b. Powell, proprietor Of
the Powell Preservation Process, will be
heard tomorrow.

THE BEEF DESTROYED At HAT.ANA.
Amounts to Many Thousands Of Cans
Mennced the Public HeMlth.


Havana April -Four thousand one
hundred cans Of beef have been de-
stroyed at the Regla warehouse during
the last three months without action on
the part of boards Of survey-one lot
Of 900 cans, another Of 1900 and third
of 1,700-under the direction of Chief
Commissary A. l.. Smith, and in ac-
cordance with the regulations allowing
such action when the public health Is
menaced. Some additional thousands of
cans have been destroyed after official
survey, besides the 10000 cans that were
condemned when Inspector General
Breckenridge was here
About 2 per-sent4 Of sell. .tlaassss
died has been spoiled and about 10 psr
cent. Of the canned tomatoes There is
but little decayed meat in stock now,
but there are probably $4,000 cans Of to-
matoes unfit for consumption, owing to-
storage in a damp climate. Some of
the beef is a remnant of the Porto Rico
consignment including the Unidentified
prairie state brand, supposed to have
been brought from Europe. No canned
meats have been issued to the troops In
Cuba, who have invariably been sup
piled with fresh or refrigerated meat,
the canned beef going to the Cuban des-
titute. From them there has been APP
parently no complaint In fact they
have been eager to get it.

statement Concerning the New Plan
Made by an Official.

Providence, April An official of
the Consolidated railroad made the fol-
lowing statement tonight in explana-
tion of the roads new wage schedule,
which went into effect few days ago:
"The new wage schedule is in the ma
ture of readustment, the road desir-
ing to place all its employees upon a
uniform basis. Heretofore the rate of
wages has been different on the three
systems which are now united in one
company-the former New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad, the Old
Colony railroad and the New England
railroad. The result of the readust-
ment has not yet been clearly under
stood, but there will be unquestionably
a general advance, although in a few
instances there will be slight de-
crease.
ITO be specific, on the western district
the wages of conductors have been de-
creased from fifteen to forty cents a
day; on the eastern district they have
been increased twenty-five to seventy
cents day. Baggage men have been
decreased fifteen cents day In the
eastern district and increased the same
amount in the western district. Pas
senger and freight brakemen's wages
have remained the same on both dis
tricts. Freight flagmen have been de-
creased fifteen cents on the eastern dis
trict and increased by that amount on
the western district The complaint
that some trainmen are now required to
work six days a week instead of five
days, as heretofore, is explained by say
ing that the total number Of hours Of
employment during the week remains
substantially unchanged. The practice
of giving one holiday in each week has
been found unsatisfactory and undesr-
able.
From some train crews complaints
have come on account of the increase
of hours without the increase Of pay.
These crews are mistaken on the point
of pay, as they will find when they
come to draw their pay next week,
overtime for them having in all cases
been allowed proportionate to the in
creased hours of employment The re-
adjustment will mean an added expense
to the company of a considerable sum-
1t was stated that all the men affected
have not as yet experienced the full
practical workings of the new schedule,
but will more thoroughly understand it
by next pay day. No trouble of any
nature is anticipated by the company
over the new schedule.

SAMOAN ISLAND DIFFICULTY
THE PROCLAM1GION OF ADMIRA L
KA U1Z, U. S. N,

At the Meeting of the Consular and
1t Was Agreed That the Provisional
Government Had No Legal Status
Chiefs Ordered to Go to Their Homes.
Apia, Samoa, March "a, via San Fran
cisco, April 1.-THE Associated Press
correspondent sends the following which
is the proclamation of Admiral Kautz
in full to King Mataefa and his chiefs
and which preceded the recent serious
outbreak in Samoa:
A Proclamation.
To his Highness Mataefa and thirteen
chiefs associated with him and particu-
larly to all the people of Samoa, both
foreign and native in general:
Whereas at a meeting held this day
on board the United States Flagship
Philadelphia at anchor at Apia, at which
We're present the consular representa-
tives of the signatory powers of the
Berlin treaty of 1889 and the three
senior naval officers of the same pow
ers, it was agreed that the so-caled
provisional government under High
Chief Mataefa and thirteen other chiefs
cannot have legal status under the Ber-
lin treaty and cannot Therefore be recog-
nized by the consular and naval repre-
sentatives, and so it is hereby ordered
that the high choief and thirteen other
chiefs go quietly to their homes and
obey the laws of Samoa and respect the
Berlin treaty.
1t is further ordered that all the chiefs
and their people who have been elected
from their homes and who have been
sent to different points in the Samoan
Islands return quietly to their afore-
said homes without molestation.
The guarantee of protection as far as
lies in the power Of the naval force now
in this harbor,is given to all who quietly
obey this order; on the other hand, it
will be used against all who disregard
it or the rights of quiet and peaceably
disposed people.
The theaty of Berlin recognizes the
chief justice of Samoa as the highest
officer under the existing government
and as long as he holds his office his
authority must be respected and the de-
cree of the court must be carried out.
Trusting that all residents of Samoa
will have the good sense to observe the
requirements Of this proclamation, which
is issued in the interests of peace with
an earnest regard for the rights of all,
both foreign and native, and so that
ther may be no occasion to use power to
enforce it,
am respectfully,
Robert Kautz, Rear Admiral United
States Navy, Communicating Chief
United States Naval Force on Pa
cific Station.

CASE OF MRS. G IORGE.
Jury to Try the Alleged Slayer of Mrs.
McKinIey's Brother, Completed.


Canton, O., April THE jury which
is to decide the fate of Mrs. Anna e.
George, accused of the murder of George
D. Saxton a brother of Mrs Mckinley,
was completed at 80 o'clock this af-
ternoon and before court adjourned
Prosecuting Attorney Pomerene had
stated to the twelve men who had quail
fed an outline of what he expected the
witnesses for the state to prove. Briefly
summarized this is that on the event
of the tragedy and shortly before it
occurred, Saxton rode to the Althouse
house on a bicycle and Mrs George
about the same time went to a point
near there on a street car. The assas-
sin, and he says this will be proved to
be Mrs. George, fired two shots and
walked away; there was cry as if for
help. She returned and fired two more
shots, then leaned over the PROSTATE
body, found him dying and disappeared
in the darkness. He claims Mrs.
Georges fingers were blacllened with
burned powder when arrested and that
she had not only threatened to kill Sax
ton, but had long planned how to do it
and she had outlined plans to another
party She also says that he cares not
what relations are shown to have ex-
listed between the two; that they were
not such as to have justified the crime
on the evening of October 9Th, 1898. In
connection with these relations he re-
ferred tc. the accused as an adventures,
pure and simple. Mr. Welty intimated
that the statement of the defense would
be somewhat lengthy and it was de-
ferred until Monday.

THE ELECTIONS IN DUBLIN.
The II eturns Indicate the Annihflntfon
of the Uni0Mists.

Dublin, April THE returns from
the Irish county council elections have
not all been received here, but enough
is known at late hour this evening
to show that the Unionists have suf-
fered disaster, a majority Of the seats
going to the Nationalist. Among the
Unionist candidates defeated are Bar
on Castletown, Baron Langford and the
Earl of Mayo, the Earl of Rosse, and
the Marquis Of Ormonde. Unionism
has been annihilated in Munster and
Connaught almost exterminated in Lee
inster and hit hard in Ulster. The la
Dor question also entered largely into
the contest, labor candidates in many
instances defeating Nationalists.

er rooms, but they might as well have
tried to get in furnace. The heat was
terrible The building seemed thorough
ly dried and if saturated with oil it
could hardly have burned more fiercely.
Like most large New York dwellings, it
was high and narrow and was encased
on two sides by solid brick walls, and
the effect was like great chimney. The
flames roared and cracked, and shot
into the air distance of hundred
feet or more, throwing great fiery
spray over the roofs of the surrounding
houses Several times these caught on
fire, but the fremen and servants were
on the roofs with water and chemicals.

Washington April THE state de-

yitation from the government of the
Netherlands to Participate in the disar-
mament conference to be held at The
Hague beginning May is. Up to this
time the only thing in the nature of an
invitation issued to the powers was the
letter issued by the czar and it is un-
derstood that some friction caused by
the objection of the Italian government
to the extension of an invitation to the
pope to participate, has delayed the is
sue of the formal invitations.

900 for the Army-The Trouble Over
the Muster Rolls.

Havana, April 1.-THE Cuban generals
met to-day at Marianao and officially
decided to reinstate General Maxine
Gomez as commander-in-chi They
also decided to appoint an executive
board of three generals to assist him in
distributing the $3,oO0,O0O, in the details
Of disarming, and in the organization
of the rural police for the provinces.
He will be officially notified of their ac-
tion and proclamation will probably
be issued to the Cubans.
General Rafael Portuendo, chairman
of the executive committee Of the for
mer military assembly, called upon
Governor General Brooke this afternoon
and discussed with him the recent ac-
tions Of the assembly leading up to its
dissolution. He did not offer the Cuban
muster rolls directly, though it has been
intimated by several former members
of the assembly that these are at the
disposal of the military authorities
whenever they are wanted. The Amer-
leans, however, will not make any re7
quests of the assembly's executive COM
mittee The situation in this respect
has been outwardly unchanged in the
last two days, though it is understood
that tomorrow will bring fresh devel-
opments. Major General Wilson, mili-
tary governor of the department Of Ma
tanzas, says, in the course of private
letter, that all the Cubans formerly ia
arm in the Matanzas province are now
understood to be in industrial employ.
