4 About the Beef.
BELATES HIS. EXPERIENCE
The DIeat R -niinded Him of a Chemical
He Had Used to Preserve Elk IVbilp on
ailiuutiug Expedition—~[ngredients Un-
safe to Use on Food, ‘
W'ashington,.,D. C., Jan. 21.--Major
W. H. Daly, chief surgeon 'vwith Gen-
eral Mlles,. whose report condemning
the beef furnished the expeditionary
forces created a- sensation some weeks
ago, appeared before the war investi-
gating commission yesterday.
Surgeon Daly’s reportwas the stron-
gest in language of those submitted
by General Miles in substantiation. of
his attack on the beef supplies. Dr.
Daly has been 'too ill to appear be-
fore.
He was accompanied by General
Miles’s own steno’grapher, despite the
presence of the commission’s official
stenographer.
On being sworn the witness identified
the report as his own, changing the
date, however, from September 31 to
October 31. He was willing, he said,
[(110qu sum 31 "model siq Aq pums 01
voluntary and was not called, out by
any request or in obedience to any
circular or letter, so far as he remem-
bered. 4
He had heard nothing of an official
circular calling for reports. At Ponce.
however. some time between August ]
and 12, he believed he had communi-
cated to General Miles some observa-
tions regarding beef supplies.
At Tampa he had noticed a quarter
of beef hanging free in the sun nn
shipboard and he became interested in
seeing how long fresh slaughtered beef
could stand such moist climatic condi-
tions. ,
"I observed," he said, “that the flies,
especially the bull flies, did not affect
it; did not alight on it, or, if they did,
they got away from it very quickly.”
He had cut off a piece'of the beef
and cooked it, but it neither smelled
nor tasted naturally. Later he helped
the men corral some horses and subse-
quently he had trouble with his stom-
ach, which he first attributed to the.
activity of corralling. Then he notic-
ed ind-ications that reminded him of a
chemical he had used to preserve elk
in a hunting expedition in the Rocky
mountains some years'before. All that
day at Tampa and the next he had an
unpleasant taste. , In‘the hunting ex-‘
perience referred to he had analyzed
the chemical preservative and found it
to contain 'borax and salicylic acids.
These were to be used. externally on
the elk, but he had rubbed it in the
raw flesh and also injected it.
Questioned as to these ingredients.
«he said borax was not safe to be used
in connection with food nor for ordi-
nary medicinal purpose‘s, .while the'
salicylic acid was most nauseous,
loathsome and disgusting, almost al-
ways destructive of digestion.
To Take Up Army Bill;
Washington, D. C., Jan. 21.-—In the
House yesterday Mr. Hull, chairman
of the committee on military affairs,
who has recovered from his recent ill-
ness, asked unanimous consent that
the army reorganization bill be taken
up next Tuesday, with a provision for
fifteen hours’ general debate.
He said it was exceedingly important
that the country should knOw what
was to be done in the matter of the
proposed increase in the army.
Mr. Bailey said he realized that 'this
bill was to be considered. and he was
willing to agree if some additional time
were allowed for general debate by
holding night sessions. '
Mr. Hull modified his request to in-
clude provision for night sessions on
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday,
and as modified it was agreed to.

The Philippine Cables. _
London, Jan. 21.--Inquiries made at
the office of the Eastern Cable Com—
pany here with reference to the notice
sent out in New York by the Commer-
cial Cable Company, saying, they had
been advised that telegraphic commu—
nication with the islands of Panay, Ne—
gros and Zebu, Philippine islands, was
temporarily interrupted. which aroused
some speculation as to the cause, show
that the cable stations at Panay, Ne—
gros and Zebu have been closed sisnce
December 27 for the safety of the em—
ployes, owing to the prevailing unset—
tled conditions.
The officials of the Eastern 'Cable
Company do not know at present
whether the Americans or Filipinos are
masters of the situation. They add
that the stations will remain closed un-
til the situation is more peaceful.
Relief (frdered to Manila.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 21.--At the
request of Surgeon General Sternberg,
Secretary Alger has ordered the hos-
pital ship Relief to Manila, to serve
there as hospital ship, and also as an

sick and wounded soldiers from Ma-
nila to Nagasaki, or even to San Fran.—
cisco. '
The Relief is now at New York and
will go by way of the Suez canal.
Surgeon Bradley .will go with the
ship, and some additional medical offi-
cers will be detailed to go out to the
Philippines with‘ her.
1110 Spanish Prisoners.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 21.--The war
department has issued an invitation
for bids from responsible shipping con-
cerns of all nations for transportation
of the. Spanish prisoners in the Phil-
ippines from Manila, to Spain.
' The treaty requires the United States

United States Flag Floats Rightfnlly
Over the Philippines Says Senator Nol-
son—ihdsmuc Dill Vctocd by the Pros-4
idc:xt-- Other Proceedings of the Senate.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 2l.--In> the
Senate yesterday Mr. Gaffer-y, Demo-
crat of Louisiana. offered the follow-
ing resolution, which, under object'idn
from Mr. Allison, Republican of Iowa,‘
went over until to-day:
Resolved, Thad: the president be
requested, if not incompatible with the
public interest, to furnish the Senate
copies of any communications received
by the state department from any rep—
resentatives or agents of‘the so-called
Philippine republic and also furnish
any information in his possession, or
any documents filed before the state
department relative to "the boundaries
of the territories in the Philippine is-
lands, together with the number of
inhabitants therein held respectively
under the control of the American
forces and the authority of the so-cal—
led Philippine republic, showing par-
ticularly what islands or parts of is-
lands, if any, can in any event be de-
livered by Spain to the United States.
Mr. Vest's resolution denying the
constitutional right of the federal gov—
ernment to acquire territory to be held
and governed permanently as cqlonies,
wa sthen taken up and Mr. Nelson,
Republican of Minnesota, addressed
the Senate in opposition to the resolu-
tion.
He argued that the right of the Uni-
ted States to acquire territory was no
longer an unsettled question. It had
been settled by the Supreme court and
by practice and precedent. The gov-
ernment of the United States had in-
herent power as full and comprehen-
sive as any other organized govern-
ment to acquire territory, either by
treaty. conquest, purchase or by ex—
ploration and discovery, and there was
nowhere in any paragraph of the con-
stitution or in any judicial opinion any
intimation or suggestion that the right
was limited to such terrtory as might
ultimately become states."
“We hold the Philippine islands to-
day," said Mr. Nelson, “practically as
we held New Mexico and Upper Cali-
fornia, by conquest. That country is
as lawfully held by the president as
commander-in—chief and our flag floats
there just as lawfully as in the state
of Illinois. \Vhat right have senators
to say that we have gone among the
Filipinos as n conquering nation? They
had been sold by their leaders. They
were bound hand and foot. They, were
still in the shackles of Spanish tyranL
ny when our fleet entered the bay of
Manila.
“We came there not as conquerors,
not to vanquish tthcm. \Vc come there
by their invitation, to help‘thcm, and
to relieve them from Spanish oppres-
Bion.
“We are there to give tvhe'people of
these islands 21. good and juSt and fair
and free system of government. We
cannot do it in a. day, but we will do
it. We are there, not only to keep
them out of the hands of Spain. but
we are there to keep them out of the
hands of any of the great powers. It
is for our interest as a nation that the
Philippine islands shall never be the
property of any of the great powers.
If they can be independent, well and
good; and if not, we should protect
them and give them the best govern-
ment that we can possibly give them."
The earlier proceedings in the Sen-
ate were routine in nature.
The credentials of Mr. Lodge, Repub-
lican of Massachusetts, as senator
from March 4 next, were presented and
placed on file.
A message was received from the
president vetoing a bill for the relief
of Albert E. Redstone. a pre-emption
claimant on land covered by the Sierra
Forest Reservation, one of the reasons
given by the president for his veto
bein gthat the claim had expired long
before the establishment of the reser-
‘vation.
Senator Nelson on Expansion.
Washington. D. C., J‘an. 21..—-In the
Senate yesterday Mr. Nelson, Repub-
lican of Minnesota, made a SPF-och up—
on tile Vest anti-expansion resolution.
Ills address was a. constitutional argu-
ment in support of the right of the
United States government to acquire
and govern foreign territory.
He. maintained that the arguments
that taxation without representation
was tyranny and that governments
derive their just powers from the con—
sent of the governed, were true only in
a limited extent.
A majority of our people, he said,
were without direct representation.
W'omen, minors and imbeciles were
without representation in our govern-
ment and had to bear their share of
taxation. They had, in other words,
to undergo the burdens of our govern.-
ment without any voice in its con-
trol.
Post-office Bill Passed.
. \Vashington. D. C., Jan. 21.~-‘\‘Vhen
the House of Representatives met [yes-
”terday the pending question was on the
motion of Mr. Swanson, Democrat of
Virginia, to recommit the postoffice ap-
propriation bill with instructions to
strike from the paragraph appropriat-
ing three huudrgd thousand dollars for
‘mail facilities in Cuba, Porto Rico and
7the Philippine islands, the words “new-
ly acquired territory."
E To avoid a roll call, which had been
ordered, Mr. Loud, Republican of Call-
?fornla, in charge .of the bill, asked
'unanimous consent that the words he
Estricken out, as they were unneces-
sary.
There was no objection. The order
for a. roll call was vacated and the bill
was passed.
Morocco Rebels Beaten.
i Tangier, Morocco,'Jan. 21.-—The gov-
ernment troops, commanded by Prince
fMarani, have defeated the Tafliet reb-
Eels in a. battle. The chief rebel’s son
.and nineteen others Were decapitated
and their heads were exposgd at Ra-
m’t. This is expected to end-the Ta-
ifilet rebellion.

THE SAMOAN TROUBLE.
Efforts to Seattle the liingsliip Dispute—1
Powers to fluid ‘9 nnf'ur mm.
VVzlshington, D. C., Jan. 21.--The
state department is directing all its
efforts in the Samoan matter to the
use of. lawful and regular means to
settle the kingship dispute. In fact,
it was its insistence upon the compli—
ance of all of the parties to the tri-
partite treaty with the terms of that
document so long as it stood unde-
nounced and unamcnded that has
made its position so strong legally at
this juncture.
There is still a lack of official reports
upon the details of the events at Apia.
A brief statement of these events has
reached the department through the
United States agent at San Francisco.
but so far as can be gathered it is not
yet known just why Chief Justice
Chambers (lr-cidcd that Mataafa,
German candidate for the succession
to the throne of Samoa. was ineligible.
It is suspected here that the decision
was based on the use of improper in—
fluences by outside but interested par--
ties in the election of the king.
That. if established, would be sufi'f-
cicnt to disqualify Mataafu. under the
strict terms of the treaty, which ex-
pi‘cb‘sly provides for an untrammelcd
choice by tho natives accordng to their
own established customs. ,
The nnvy department's orders to the
Philadelphia did not go out to Admiral
Kautz until yesterday. They were in
the shape of instructions to take on a
full supply of coal and make ready for
'a cruise to Samoa.
There was not an explicit order to
start, but simply to make ready for
the voyage.
If the admiral, as reported in the
press ,clisrutches, finds that his ship's
bottom is so foul through her cruise
in southern waters as to be'unfit for
the voyage to Samoa, he probably will
be authorized to. use divers to clean
the hull, for the department has de-
cided that the ship should not be sent
to the Mare Island navy yard to be
fitted out.
It is stated, here that it must be pre-
sumed that whatever overt action was
taken by the German consul in Apia
was not with the knowledge or consent
of his sovereign, but rather Was taken
on his own account, and that such ac-
tion, should it be found to amount to
an unjust usurpation of authority un-
der the treaty, will be promptly "disa-
vowed by the German government. It
is believed that the conference of the
three powers will be held at Berlin and
at an early date.
