'BTE’EF lN\[E_STlGATION
The Inquiry Will Be Thorough
and Far-reaching.
MILES TO BE CALLED ONMONDAY.
Recorder Davis Says That the CQotn-t
May Continue Indefinitely—Testi-
mony to Be Taken Wherever
the Court May See'Fit.
WASHINGTON, Feb. ‘18.—'rhe court
of inquiry to investigate the allega-
tions of the major general of the army
in respect to the quality of the beef
furnished the army during the war
with. Spain met yesterday in the rooms
formerly occupied by the war investi-
gation commission. A full membership
was present, and the court went into
secret session to discuss the prelimi-
naries of the proceedings and to en-
deavor to sketch out the line of inquiry
to be pursued. .
Colonel Davis, the recorder, gave out
a statement as to the court and its
work. Today, he said, will be occupied
with an examination of reports of regi-
mental and other commanders who par-
ticipated in the Cuban and Porto Rican
campaigns, the object being to select
witnesses to be summoned.
In addition to these reports the pro-
ceedings of the war inquiry commission
will be looked to for suggestions‘of wit-
nesses. The taking of testimony hard-
ly will begin before Monday. The ses-
sions then will be open. ‘ * '
General rMiles is eXpected to testify
first, presenting his charges and their
foundations. The investigation will be
limited strictly to canned roast beef
and refrigerated beef, but the scope of
the inquiry will be so comprehensive as
to follow the beef from packer to pri-
vate soldier, so 'that the action of the
packers and all war department ofliw
cials connected with the beef supply
Will be investigated. Colonel Davis said
the. inquiry would continue indefinitely
and said he could give no idea as to the
time of its termination.
Speaking. further of the investigation
and probable testimony, Colonel Davis'
said the court was not limited in its
sittings to Washington, but under the
order convening it could travel from
place to place. This statement is con-
sidered significant, for, While the court
has announced no determination to go
elsewhere, there is a possibility that it
will visit the Chicago and South Oma-,
ha packing houses, where the beef in
question was prepared. The list of wit—
nesses will include many civilians as
Suggestions as to
witnesses from any quarter, Colonel
Davis said, would be considered and
all would be summoned who it might
seem likely would throw any light upon
the controversy.

Santiago Business Hindered.
SANTIAGO, Cuba, Feb. 18.——Major
Edward Wilson of the Third volunteer
regiment of immunes, whose trial by
court martial on the charge of forgery
and embezzlement is in progress, has
pleaded guilty to altering records, and
it is expected that a severe sentence
will be imposed." Public business is
greatly hindered here in consequence of
the lack of funds, Havana having to
'approve virtually every item of ex-
penditure. The employees of the cus-
tom house and postoffice have not yet
been paid their January salaries, which
in the case of the poorer officials is a
serious hardship.

cuéAN' SECRETARIES BLAMED.
Their Action at General Garcia’s
Funeral Condemned.
HAVANA, ‘Feb. 18.——-La Lucha, 1.. an.
editorial, strongly criticises the 'action
of the Cuban secretaries .on Saturday.
upon the occasion of the trouble which
occurred at the funeral cf General
,Calixto Garcia in deserting Governor
General Brooke and making common
cause with the assembly. -The paper
refers to the letter of General Domingo
Mendez Capote, the head of the de-
partment of, government, who has just
resigned the presidency of the Cuban
assembly because it has. been decided
he cannot hold the two offices, exOner-
ates General Brooke from responsibili-
ty and says the greatest importance of
the action was in the fact that the sec-
retaries were upheld.
The secretaries, La Lucha points out,
were present at the funeral in the dou-
ble capacity of members of the assem-
bly and as members of General Brooke’s
Cuban cabinet of advisers, and when
the misunderstanding arose they de-
serted the authority to whom they had
sworn allegiance. If true delicacy ex-
isted, says La Lucha, they would not
have withdrawn from the funeral, or,
having withdrawn, they would have
immediately resigned their positions
under the authority deserted, especial-
ly as they assisted at the‘funeral more
'as members of the advisory cabinet
than as members of the assembly.
La Lucha concludes with remarking
that the'occurrence shows that the in-
experience and nervousness shown by
the secretaries should not exist in the
case of men at the head of.the admin-
iStration and policy ‘of the country.
The Adams Inquest.
NEW YORK, Feb. 18.—Without mak-
ing very great progress toward the so-
lution of the mysterious Adams poison-
ing case, the coroner’s inquest yester-
day adjourned over until Monday. The
most important developments connect-
ed with yesterday’s session was the tes-
timony of John D. Adams, the secretary
of the Knickerbocker Athletic club, who
went upon the witness stand and told
how he happened to mention Roland B.
Molineux in connection with the sending
of the bromo seltzer to Cornish; the re-
quest of Cornish to again go upon the
stand and the statement of Dr. Hitch-
cock that if he were again put upon the
stand he could clear up the mystery of
the two glasses. ‘

NEW YORK, Feb. 18.—The Hon.

day at the Post Graduate hospital. Mr.

ly in the week. He died after having
