FOUR VARIETIES OF BEEF.
Gov. Roosevelt's Letter to Gen. Miles
the Same as His Report to the
War Department.
FOUR KINDS OF BEEF WERE FURNISHED.
The COrned Beef was Good, the Canned
Beef Would Turn the stomachs OF the
Men, the Special Process Raw Beef Had
to be Thrown Overheard, and the Re-
frlgerator Beef was Good.

Albany, n. V, Jan. 14.-Gov Roose-
| Welt stated that he had written a let
ter to Maj.-Gen. Miles concerning the
condition of the meat furnished dur
ing the Santiago expedition. Gen.
Miles, at Washington, has made refer
ence to the receipt of that letter. The
governor, as colonel of the regiment
of rough riders, submitted a report to
the war departmental September last,
which contained practically the same
account of the condition of the beef
! as was set forth in his letter to Gen.
Miles.
The governor, in his letter, stated
that four kinds of beef were furnished
to the rough riders from the time they
left Florida for Cuba until their re-
turn. The first of these was corned
beef. Its quality was good. The salt
in the meat seasoned the other articles
of food, and the men found it quite
palatable. The second kind was
canned roast beef, which was without
flavor or taste, and would turn the
stomachs of those who ate it. 1t was
stringy and tough, and without any
qualities which would render it a fit
article of food. There was bat one
way in which the men could eat it,
and that was by making it into
stew. Fresh vegetables were not al
ways obtainable, and stews could be
made only occasionally.
When the rough riders left Tampa
large quantity of specially prepared
beef was placed aboard the transport
on which they embarked. This beef
was in quarters, and was stored in the
forward end of the transport. 1t had
been prepared by some special process
unknown to Col. Roosevelt, but sup
posed to be with some form of solu-
ton. The transport was ont from
Tampa but a few hours when this
beef began to smell. The stencil was
so great that the men avoided the for
ward end of the transport as much as
possible. The meat could not be eat
EN-, and it was thrown into the ocean.
y fourth kind of beef was served to
the rough riders at Santiago, after
July 25. 1t was of good quality, and
was brought to Cuba in special steam
ers with refrigerator facilities. Gov.
Roosevelt's official report was accom-
panied by report of the quartermaster
and surgeon of the regiment and those
of several captains.
Gov. Roosevelt is known to greatly
regret the turn the trouble in the war
department seems to be taking, as
he feels that it is not so important to
fix the blame as it is to prevent the
recurrence of the conditions that gave
rise 10 the controversy

THE SITUATION IN MANILA.
1t Ia Undou btedIy Critical, But Gen. Otis
Is Master-A Sudden Call
to Arms.

Manila, Jan. 1.-THE situation Eere
is undoubtedly critical, but Maj.-Gen.
Otis has It well in hand, and there il
nc such certainty of trouble as many
believe. The rebels are concentrated
on the outskirts of the town,and their
leaders have issued strict orders that
they shall act only on the defensive.
An accident might precipitate trou.
BILE, but the idea of a rebel attack upon
Manila is ridiculous, as the Americans
absolutely control the position.
Aguinaldo has republished the sec.
ond manifesto in reply 20 the procla
nation of Gen. Otis, which was re-
called on It's first appearance, but it
has proved Intellectual.
On Wednesday false alarm, due to
trivial incidents, occurred simultane-
ously in opposite parts of the city and
led to a general call to the United
States forces. In Is minutes the entire
city was covered, the pxomptitude OF
the Americans. while it created a
scare for the momsnt, effectually re-
stored confidence throughout Manila
and dispelled the excitement due to
Il passing fear on the part of the citi-
Zens that az outbreak was imminent.
1t is possible that the Filipinos, af-
ter the diplomatic conferences that
have been had between the representa-
tives of Gen. Otis and Aguinaldo have
finally come to understand that the
cautious and conservative policy OF the
Americans is not due to fear, and they
will accept The inevitable with good
grace. 1t is evident that at present
they are unable to appreciate the full
meaning of the independence demand
ed and that when they do understand
its extent the American proposition
will be acceDtable

| THE LATE CONGRESSMAN DINGLEY
deceased; James c. Hooe, an intimate
friend of the family, DIR. Deale. one o.
the physicians who had been attend
ing him throughout his illness, anG
the two nurses.
To within a few hours before his
death the family firmly believed, as il
has throughout his illness, that Mr.
Dingley would recover, and it was only
when it became apparent that he was
dying that the members gathered al
his bedside. While the past few days
had given great hope of recovery, the
progress of the disease had made the
patient weak, and had seriously affect,
ed his heart.
Alternating Hope and Fear.
Late Thursday night and again yes.
terday morning Mr.. Dingley had bad
sinking spells from which he slightly
rallied. There were further evidences
OF heart failure as the day progressed
and the strongest stimulants were adj
ministered, but without effect. He
failed perceptIbly during the afternoon
and as night came hope was aban-
doned.
Mrs. Dingleyis very much Frustrated
by her husbands death, and is now
under the care of physicians.
Heartfelt Expressions of sympathy.
There were many heartfelt express
sions of sympathy when it became
known that the Maine congressman
was dead. All during his illness, which
he struggled against so vigorously,
there had been constant inquiries at
the hotel at which he resided, as to
his condition. The Hamilton house,
where Mr.. Dingley resided, has been
the resort for a number of years for
most of the congressional contingent
from Maine, and it was here that Mr..
Dingley spent all of the past Is years
of his life when his congressional
duties call him to Washington. He &C.
Cupied rooms on the second floor, and
had with him his wife and daughter,
the sons being here but little.
Sergeant-at-Arms Russell Notified.
Sergenat-at-Arms Russell of the
house of representatives, was notified
of the death, which will be announced
in both houses of congress to-day, and
committees will be appointed to at
tend the funeral, after which adjourn
ment for the day will be had. 1t is
not yet decided whether there shall be
public funeral in the house of repre-
sentatives. This will be left entirely
tc the wishes of the family. 1t is ex-
pected that interment will be had at
Auburn, Me-, where Mr.. Dingley's IA
Their, who died not long ago, is buried.
Mr.. DingIey's Illness.
Representative Dingley's illness
dates back to December 90, when he
complained that he was not well. The
physician diagnosed his case as one of
grip, SO commonly prevailing here,
and cautioned the patient to keep to his
room. The following Saturday pneu-
monia developed in the left lung. COM
plicated with great irreguIarity of the
heart. Skillful treatment brought
good results, and on Thursday there
were signs that the lung was begin
ming to clear. The next day, however,
the disease took an alarming turn, and
the two sons in Michigan were tele-
graphed for. On that day Mr.. Dingley
had promised to deliver a lecture be-
fore the Brooklyn Museum of Arts and
