The Beef Inquiry.

“’ASHINGTON, April 8.——Having de—
cided at its forenoon session yesterday
to accept as evidence the ofiicial reports
of officers of the army, the beef inquiry
court devoted itself to listening to the
reading of those reports. They were
read by Major Lee as the representative
of General Miles, who had read only
about 80 of the 147 of them when the
court adjourned for the day. The re-
ports were generally brief statements
of the personal experiences of the offi—
cers or summaries of the opinions of
the men under them. The reports bore
almost exclusively on the canned beef,
but there were occaSionalreferences to
refrigerated beef. The officers gener-
ally condemned the meat as a com—
ponent part of the soldier’s ration.

BOSTON, April 8,—Antonio Cutugnio,

knife, which was refused him. He then
seized his soft hat in his teeth and be-
gan to tear it and attempted to swal-
low the fragments. It was necessary
to use force in taking the article away
from him, and he was placed under re~
straint. . -.

HONOLULU, March 31, via San Fran-
cisco, April 8.-—E-ngland has Checkmat-
ed Germany in the south Pacific and
has secured sovereignty over the Tonga
group of islands, with the largest har-
bor in the south Pacific, except Papeete
harbor, in Tahiti. The British man- -of-

day the Mariposa sailed from there, had

government, effected the formal trans-
fer and raised the British, flag.

About four months ago the German
vice consul at Samoa, Herr Grune, at;
rived at Tonga and made demand on
the government for £20,000 for debts
contracted by T'ongans with German
traders. Many Of these accounts are of
20 years’ standing and were repudiated
by the Tongan government. When Vice
Consul Grune could obtain no money,
he left with the threat that a German
man-of-war would arrive in a' few

bor in the g1 cup

and the Tauranga was dispatched from
there at short notice for Tonga. She
reached Tonga in the early part of De-

king, and at the end of a three hours’
conference it was announced that the
sovereignty "of the group had

Tongargovernment would remain as a
sort of satrapy to the British crown.

The Tauranga took with her £25,000,
which was turned over to King George
Tubou. The next day the British flag
was raised with much ceremony. Eng-
land guarantees the peace and order of
the group and secures fixity of tenure
of land and additional rights to foreign-
ers settling in the group.

When the German man-of-war prom—
ised by the German vice consul arrives.
she will find the British flag flying, but
will get the money demanded, as Eng-
land acknowledges the validity Of all
the debts and will pay them; '
