WESTON AGAINST MILES.
Com rnfssary General Tells Why Beef OF
the Hoof Cannot Be Supplied TO Sol
diers~in. the Philippines.

Washington, April 2s.-The wal
department Monday made public the
report of Lieut. Gen. Miles, who made
q tour of inspection of the Philip
pines. Gen.. Miles strongly recon-
mended that beef on the hoof be sup
piled to the troops in the Philippines.
This portion, of his report was re-
ferred to: Gen J. F. Weston, COM
missary general, who in reply states:
''In my Judgment it is not a feasible
or economical plan and there should
be no, departure from the present
system. of supplying frozen beef"
Gen. Weston says his office has never
received, any complaint about frozen
beef. but on the contrary, uniform
concentrations. Gen. Weston adds:
Native. beef is out of the question
even if it were possible to procure it
and there would be danger in using
it besides it being poor, stringy and
tough, bat the rinderpest practically
destroyed the native cattle. The ex-
pertinent of bringing cattle was
tried, as was stated by Col Wood
ruff and was an absolute failure"
Gen. Weston sums up his objections
to. the plan in the following: 1.-THE

Washington, April 2s.-Consider-

will give general satisfaction and
meet in large degree the desires
of our government. 1t was in rela-
ton to the first two demands that
the United States was interested par
ticularly and it was these demands
which prompted it to address notes
of inquiry and protest to ST. Peters
burg and Picking. They involved Sc
we're restrictions to American trade.
and the United States therefore was
prompt to protest. The assurance
Of the Russian foreign Office con-
tanned in the ST. Petersburg dispatch
would seem to set at rest any seri-
Gus menace in that respect. The re-
plies of the Russians regarding the
other demands also caused a feeling
of relief here, and the hope of the
officials is that Russia's position is
fully and correctly set forth.
