tain an article on "The Food Of the Army
During the Spanish WAR" by former
Secretary of War Russell A. Alger. The
i. article is largely an attack on Miles and
defence OF Eagan. It says In part:
'The commission appointed by the
president at my request TO investigate

Astounding as this statement may
seem General Miles did not base his

submit any proof in support OF them. His
startling and scandalous accusations ap-

verbal statements OF DR.. w III. DAILY. a

THE army had Won It's battles In cuba

peacefully come into our hands after a
few skirmishes; the protocal had been in
operation for over four months and even
the treaty OF peace had been signed at
Paris. Then came the major-general
commanding the army Of the United
States with his charges.
While the allegations OF General Miles
were not based upon fact and were con-
ciusively disproven by two separate tri-
bunals, unimpeachable in their compost
tion and methods OF investigation, the
irreparabe damage had been done. A
brave honest and faithful officer, suffer-

exonerated from the heavy odium OF
those charges, was as a result OF them
sacrificed on the altar OF his own passion.

MILES STATEMENT UNTRUE.


"The allegations of General Miles that
canned fresh beef was not part OF the
army ration. and that IL was issued as
the 'pretence OF an experiment. were not
only contrary TO fact, but were made alb
solutely without particle OF evidence or
excuse.
"lf we are 10 believe written evidence
To the contrary, IL does not appear that
General Miles was even honest in making
his dilatory charges that the timed beef
was issued as the pretence OF an expert
ment and that IL was not a part OF the
ration.
After the charges made by General
Miles. the most expert and scientific men
in the country were employed by the
government to further the investigation.
The results OF personal examina lions.
and of the Investigations OF the experts
employed, conclusively showed that there
was not one jot or title OF evidence or
excuse for the statement that canned
fresh beef was the pulp after the beef
extract had been removed.
THE. imputations with respect TO
canned fresh beef were most carefully
and thoroughly examined aud reported
upon by the two impartial tribunals.
They found that there was no foundation
for the charge that canned fresh beef was
not a part Of the ration. or that II had
been furnished as the pretence or expert
ment or That II was the pulp from beef.
THE court OF inquiry properly found
that canned fresh beef was an unpalai-
able ration. without condiments, when
not cooked and when not served with
vegetables. General Miles arrived at

here this evening from Littleton
There he saw Deputy Collector r. J.
Lewis, who gave him news to bring to
COLLECTOR Duncan, here of the shooting
by Lewis, and posse yesterday after
noon of two deputy collectors from
Virginia. Allen says Lewis stated that
he and posse were in the act of des-
troying an illicit distillery In North
ampton county, when they saw armed
men rapidly approaching and, believ-
ing they were moonshiners, Lewis fired
into them with rifle, hitting two.
Discovery of the terrible mistake was
made Immediately. A message was
,elephoned to Littleton for a physi-
clan, who went to the scene Of the
shooting. Lewis told Allen he feared
the Virginia deputies were badly hurt.
Allen said both parties were after the
same distillery, which was very close
to the Virginia line.
