' Very respectfully 1H C. Uorbln
Adliitant General.'
Tho court was then sworn and Major
Genoral Nelson A. Miles was presented
as tho'flrst witness. He was sworn. After li
stating' hts1 raak mid office he was asked ji
nbout his statement beioro me war com-
mission. Ho said he' made oue. and upon
Colonel Davis' submitting ft printed re-
' port of that statement. General Miles ex-
amined and approved It.
Then he' was asked' alie-ut an alleged-Interview
which appeared la the New York
Journal of December- -23- whether U re-
ported completely or In a. part what Uc
t.aidi General Miles-read It and answered;
"I do not recall anything: In that Interview
that had not been Ktv.on. la by testimony '
or transmitted la my reports-. Von will
observe It contains a number of" my de-
clinations to nama otflcera or -my authority
and refusals to. answer- It must therefore
bo a correct representation."
He then commented on tho General
slight inaccuracies of tho- newspaper inter-
views owing toi the dependency of wrlturs
upon thclrmemorlca. Hardly a day- In six
months bad passed that interviewers had
not applied and because of Kindness of tho
pross to the army and specially tho en-
listed men he had endeavored to give them
such' Information as ho thought wise nnd
sarei but never ho said with a view lo
prejudicing- anyone against any perron or
departmtmt. Finally Goncral Miles Raid
ho did not think tho Journal interview
represented correctly what wair said bc-
causo its contents should be taken in con-
nection with all that ws said his sllonco
upon some points and npcccu upon others.
Then being asked about tin Interview
from the New Yoik UernliPon February 1.
hn said: "I havo u letter from thn' gon-
tlcmau who 1 understand wroto this In
which ho says ho la willing lo swear IhsL
I declined lo bo interviewed nnd that
thinking something-hnd been given out. bo
had proceeded to wrto what ho know worn
the fact b."
lib then pointed out that Uio inter-
view was erroneous In that whom it 10-
ported him to havo said that ho hua
overwhelming evidence that thn refrig-
erated bcof was treated with i:hointca'
the fact was that his only evidence was
what was contained In the1 roportn of of-
ficers and statements of men who claimed
that tho beef hud tho odor of an em-
balmed body that they had seen lluld
Injected into beef and other indication
of chemical treatment. He dcrlarcd Ihu
Interview au eironeous presentation of
what ho could possibly havo said.
Colonel Davis lecurring to tho state-
ment of General Mllc3 beforo the war
'.ommlsslon asked him what his Idea us
to the beef supplj for thu army w.ib when
war broko out.
Replying General Mlle3 said while his
attention was occupied with weightier
matters of mobilization and equipment of
troops ho felt confident that tho u3ago of
a hundred years would bo followed and
cattle herds would bo shipped to tho army
in tho tropicnl countries and killed thero
just aa tbey had been through tho South
during the civil war in Arizona. Texas'
and in Mexico whero it wan so'hpt thut
il soldier could not st upon tho raulo.
Ho understood' Cuba and 1'orto Itico wore
excellent grass countries and enttlu could
be shipped and kept fir prlmfi'-cTmlltltin.
He reviewed his action id tabling tho de-
partment: to send no lunro rofi Igorated
beet to Porto Rico whlla ho was there
Jindlng It possible to use beef on tho hoof.
General Miles said that lio understood
that our troops In Porto Itlco wore atlll
being supplied with a form of refriger-
ated beef although tho country was ns
good a grass country ns any In the world
nnd tho cattlo there was plenty and the
Spanish troops drew all their meat supply
lioiu thirt source.
Colonel Davis asked If General M11m
knew whether Porto Itlco etpor'ed any
cattle. "Witness snld It did to thu uuuibut
of several thousands and Hint they wero
nnc cattle SHU he undo stood that out
troops wero not only receiving refrigiir-
aled beef at the coast bat it was bstns
sent Into the interior. Tho situation now
ho- said was different from that luvtaa
the- war. Now thero woro Ice machines
on shore Then thero was nut Ice enough
for tho hospitals.
Recurring to the expediency of feeding-
troops hoof beef la Porto Itlco General
Miles said he wan much in favor of it.
Ho said nativo beef killed at night could
be very well fed tho man next day.
"Do x think" continued Colonel DavK
"that the native beef would keen as woll
as the refrigerated beof In tho nbsouco of
cooling apparatus on shore?"
"I am quite suro it would Unless the
f refrigerated beof was chemically trnatod
with preservatives. If it was treated so
ns to- keop tor seventy-two hours after
1 coming out of tho coolers of course it hud
the advantage of nativo beef so far us
keeping goes."
Aakod how long he waa hi Porto Rico
bofore he advised tho department against
sending more refrigerated beef. General
Miles said that be had learned of the Targe
t hupply of native eatUo soon after landing
' and advised tho war department tho next
day after getting usliore.

Colonel Davis read a portion of General

Iho canned beef was Issued to volunteers
and regular troops alike op the transports

to it ns "embalmed beof" aud said It had
been sent as a "pivtenso nf experiment "
Gen. Milea wua asked if lie knew whan tho
war began that ciinuod roast beof was nn
army intlon. Tills queatinn brought out a
pnrlinl explanation of hla using the phraso
"prelensi of oxporlment."
Ho said he -did not Itnow that canned
roast beof wna u part of tho army ration
though In 1SS8 mi older had been Issued
Including canned corned and fresh beet
Ho did uut understand that the canned
beet now in question wna meant. When
his- attention wa finally attracted to tho
cmuied roust beof recently IbsuoiI ho ns-
sumed ho declared that "It wan being
Issued ns nn experiment" since It was not
understood by hint that rauned roost beof
wna u part of the regular ration. Con-
tinuing thla explanation In answer to u
.question of Calonol Davis (icuornl Miles

claimed any Intcnlon to Impute fraud on

' "With that disclaimer" remarked Colo-
nel Dovis "of course wo will pass to the

Then replying to a nitration. General

presented It Into In Septorabor nnd np-
peurod subsequently boforo tho war cam-

through the cntiro Cuban campaign. Wit-
ness said ho bad used all kinds cannoJ
corned refrigerated nnd canned roast beet.
Ho sntd tho criticisms of tho canned loast
beet began early nnd wero mado often. It
was objected to on tho Bcoro of its lack of
nutriment Its tato and Us appearance.
Witness hnd eaten som of tho refrigerator
beet which arrived In camp untainted and
found that good. The men ate it without
complaint and ho had no reason to bclinvo
It was any different (from the beof he had
gotten nt army posts dn tho Sates.

of tho Sixth United States Infantry uas
tho next wltucsu. Hlai regiment was among
tho first to leavo Camp Thomua and to
camp at Tampa. They reached Cuba and
disembarked on Juno til. Canned roast
beef wus Issued as n travel ration when
they left Tampa and until tho end of the
BloRtt. It was replaced with lefrgeratod
beer after thu surrender. Meantime ho
said nbsoltttoly no other fresh meat could
hnvc boon furnihhod during thu siege.
Complaints against the nanuod beef be-
catno general about July 2. Ho psiit. ho
was using IL anil when oponod It was ap-
parently lresh but absolutely without
nourishment and when cut It fell lo
pieces. Tho mou could not nnd did not
eat It. "I believed then and boiiovo now"
said he "that' that beof had heen used for
ranking extract and tho nutt Orient taken
out. It appeared to have been boiled to
pieces. Colonel Minor sultl ho knew noth
ing ot tho molbod ot ran nod bsct prepara-
tion. His regiment was in good condi-
tion until July 3 iten It deteriorated sud-
denly and generally. When they became
weal; and sick tho men did not want
meat."
Asked If during tho siego he had mado
un effoit to get'ottier meat he said ho had
not; thnt tlmy merely waited for what was
in ought up from behind a distance of clov-
en miles. They had no discretion no
cholco In tho matter of rations.
Hxnmlncd its to refrigerated beef ho
dcelared it waa excellent nnd no com-
plaints about It wore heurd. Only ouo
(itimtcr was spoiled. Ho was unable ho
said Jo detect any difference between thu
refrigerated beof Issud In Cuba and that
uhlch had been lsjued ut the posts tn this

Major General Henry .Incksnu Third

vern'n 1'lcct Dciicrllicil
WnshlnBton February 20. Hear Ad-
miral W. S. Schley having been granted
permission to answer the charges re-
cently mado against him In a communi-
cation recently sent to tho senate today
handed to the committee on naval affairs
his statement in which Aa disclaims any
purpose ot couttovcrsy with the navy de-
partment. Iho letter of tho department
ho says so far as it relates to him can
ho summarized under tho ioiiowinB'
heads:
The delay at Clcnfueposi the alleged
slow proeross toward Santiago lc- Cuba
fimn Cienfucgcs; the retrograde movo-
juenta ot tho 2Cth aud 27H
of May; the battle of Santiago ami uio
destruction of Cervera's fleet.
Tho admiral says his oidors fiom Ad-
miral Sampson on May 19 wero to block-
ado ClenfuegoB which ho proceeded lo do.
He hnd no knowledgo thnt there wero
any Insurgents about Olentucgos who
were friendly until tho Marblchcad nt-
rlved on the 11th.
liven had he had this knowledge on
tho 23rd of Mny tlio surf would lmvo pre-
vented communication. On his arrival he
sent Commander McCalla of tbo Marble-
head ashore to establish relations with
tho insurgents tho result ot which was
innrln known to him at 3:10 ou May 24.
Then for tho first tlmo ho learned defi-
nitely that the Spanish fleet was not at
Clonfuegos. Within two hours he Btarttd
for Santiago.
"What possible ground of criticism" ho
said "avcrso lo mo there can bo In nil
tills I do not see. I was on tho spot act-
ing under ordors wlilih gavo me entlio
disci ctlon and yet clothed mo with tho io-
bponslblllty of going to Santiago only af-
ter I was told-"thnt the licet was not at
Clonfuegos."
Ho quotes from the dispatch from Ad-
miral Sampson Muy 20 in which the lattor
says Schley should hold bis licet ott Cien-
fuegos. if tho Spanish ships hnvo put into
Santiago they must como either to Ha-
vana or to Clonfuegos to deliver tho mu-
nitions of war which they aro said to
bring for use in Cuba.
"I am therctoro of tho opinion that tho
host chance to capture these ships will be
to hold tho two polnt3 Clonfuegos and Ha-
vana with all tho force wo cau muster.
If inter it should develop that theso ves
sels nro nt Santiago wo can thon assemble
off that point the ships best suited for the
purpeso and completely blockade it. Until
wo then receive more positive information
wo shall continue to hold Havana ana
Clonfuegos. "
Admiral Schley adds:
"This letter Is not printed either in th
appendix or executive documents but I
received it on tho 23d and It shows that I
was expected to hold my squadron off
Cienfuegos."
As to the slow progress toward Santiago
on tho Eaglo ho states that ahe was a part
of tho force which Admiral Sampson had
teen fit to sond him and he had no right
lo abandon her. Tho weather also was
rough and not much better speed could
havo been kept up. He had tieen ordered
to proceed cautiously. "If I had known
thnt tho Spanish fleet wns at Santiago uo
consideration for tho Kagle or anything
elso would havo prevented me front sel-
tlug Ihero at the earliest possible moment
with tho larger vessels but tho weather
nnd sea mnilo it Impossiblo to do better
than I did"
Speaking of tho retrograde movements
which tho secretary adapting the language
of Admiral Sampson characterizes an "rc-
prulienslble conduct" Admiral Schley says
that never la all his service was such lan-
guage used to "characterize conduct of
roino and 1 seo no reason for it now."
Hu adds. "Acting in accordance with my
best judgment In view of the circum-
stances with certain knowledge ot the
wheieabouts of the Spnnlsh tleot. after
having been Informed by tho scouts com-
manded by such officers ns Slgsbee Jewoll
cud WIeo that they had bsou ort Smtingo
for a week and had soon uothlng of It and
knew nothing of its movements or its
whereabout slnto it had loft Curaqoa: ho
had been assured by SIgsbeo that lie did
not bcllcvo it was In Santiago and by em-
phatic declaration of tho pilot Nunoz und
knowing that an tho sea nnd weather woro
bad it would bo Impossible to coal my
squadron off tho port 1 deemed It best to
take tho action 1 did tho final result ot
wh.ich was tho location of tho enemy's fleet
in Santiago harbor."
Admiral Schley speaks of tho difficulty
ui uiii.ig anj-ining witu tlio insuigents and
refers' to tho manner In which Lieutenant

THE EMINENT
AND HIS GREAT DISOTg
The Discoverer of Swamp-Root at Work in His Laboratory
How to Promptly Cure Kidney
You May Have a Sample Bottle of This Great Dis-
covery Sent Free By Mail.
As wc aro by nature subject to many
diseases the only way to guard against all
attacks on our health la to make a study
of our own physical self.
If a peculiar pain attucks you try to
locato its origin nnd discover which organ
of tho body is sick and in need of at-
tention. It tho Itidnoys nro at fault and In al-
most every ensa In tho faJllng of our
health they are look well to their res-
toration to health and strength.
They nro the great filters of our body
and consequently tho purity ot tho blood
is entirely dependent on their cleansing
powers.
If the kidneys aro not in a heailthy con-
dition tho blood becomes impregnated
with impurities and a decay ot tho kid-
neys soon takes place. It your desire to
relievo yourself of water Increases and
you find It necessary to arise many times
during sleeping hours your kldnWs aro
sick. As they reach a more unhealthy
stage a scalding and irritation takes place
as tho water flows and pain or dull ache In
the back mnke3 you miserable. If your
water when allowed to remain undisturbed
for twenty-four hours forms a settling or
sediment or has a cloudy appearance you
arc In the grasp of most Berlous kidney
disorder.
If neglected now tho disease advances
until tho face looks pale or sallow puffy
or dark circles under the eyes the fact
swell and sometimes the heart nets badfiy.
Thero is no more serious menace 03
health and strength than any derangci-
ment of the kidneys.
blchcad mudo it dangerous to coal them
alongside tho collier with any swell.
"It was this situation" says the state-
ment "coupled with tho conclusion that
the Spanish squadron might havo touched
and Iheu moved west as reported at Cien-
fuegos aud reinforced by the fact that
Sigsbec had not seen them aud that tho
Pilot Nunez was strongly impressed with
tho doubt that the squadron could outer
tho pert which occasioned my telegram of
May 27."
Ho thon states that tho chief ongineer
of the collier aftor much hard work dis-
connected tho broken engine while being
taken in tow and tho weather and sea
moderating orders were given to cast off
tlio tow line after about threo hours steam-
ing west.
Captain SIgsbeo is quoted as confirming
the opinion as to tlio dlffculty of ccallug
off Santiago. He gives tho details of tho
absolulo locatiqn of the Spanish squadron
Inside the harbor qu May 29 which dis-
covery was tho admiral says tho result
of a determination to satisfy himself fully
bofore leaving for tbo weBt. On tho 31bt
ho mado a reconnoissanco to "develop the
enemy's position nnd Incidentally to In-
jure or destroy if posslbio tho Colon
moored welt up in tho harbor."
The question of the presence ot
tho enemy being determined he dccld-
tu imi io nan serious enablement until re-
inforcements arrived.
Admiral Seblov mml ihn i... I.
dispatch of May 20 In theso words: "Tho
department looks to you to nscertaln tho
presence of the enemy nnd that tho enemy
If In tho harbor nt Santiago docs not loavo
without declBlvo action."
Commenting on this the admiral said:
lu obedience to tho nboyo order aud
without any further order or Instructions
from anyone I did nscertaln tho fact that
tho enemy was at Santlngo and the enemy
did not leave without a decisive couilict."
Detailing tho ovcnU connected with the
battle of July 3. i0 nays; "That at 8: 15 on

lon at Jl o'clock tho Brooklyn was near-

2:23 p. m. and tho commander-in-chlct f

nals wero mado from tbo Brooklyn to

shot away then by Myers' army code.
In conclusion Admiral Schley contends
that the. turn of the Brooklyn In the battle rt
of tho third was tho crucial and deciding'
feature of tho combat and ot decided ad-
vantage. Furthermore he says It is a mistake
to say ' that tho vessel's dlstanco from
tho ecemy was Increased to tho extent
of SOO yards and adds: "Though this may
not bo ot record It Is a fnct neverthe-
less." Ho cites tho fact that tho charts of tho
board ot 'navigators show's that tho Brook-
lyn was nearest when It merged from"
the harbor at that stage of tho battle and
nearest tho Colon when It? -surrendered
and gives many confirmatory details ot
his flagship's active and. effective vpartlcl- M
pntion in tho battlo as its elect on ths "
battle was never a question with him
His last parngrnph reads:
"On .May Jl i received a telgram from
tho commander-in-chief congratulating"'
mo upon my success In locating ami
hlockndlng tlio enemy's fleet nt Santiago.'
If It was worthy of commendntlon ct
that tlmo I am at a loss to know how it
could hnvo i grown into 'reprehensible
conduct' ns suggested by Admiral Samp-
son In his letter of July 10 189S some
