CORBETT OX JEFFRIES.
Sajn Ihe Boilermaker May Surprise
Public and Fits.
NEW* YORK, March 29— Jim Corbett
says: I must say 1 like the chances of
Jeffries. 1 have heard a great deal about
« Jeffries being slow ard inexperienced, and
all that, but I know .better about the slow
part of it. He is one of the quickest big
men who ever boxed. You must remem
ber that he is best when at, say, 210
pounds. Now. when you see that six feet
of bone and mns.-le dance about the ring
..u cannot justly say that he is slow.
On :he contrary he is as fast as any man
of ten or even twenty pounds less weight
that I have ever seen. He is young, too,
and with his height and long reach,
should have a splendid chance with Fitz
simmons. I never heard Jeffries' game
ness questioned, but, instead, know that
his heart is in the right place, so I look
for him to make a splendid showing
.--.-uiiiiM the AtistraHan. The odds should
not be very much in favor of Fitzslm
mons, notwithstanding the larger ex
perience of the older fighter. Don't be
surpi ised if Jeffries surprises the public,
including Fitzsiininons.

MR. HAM A MENTIONED
SESATOR THOKiHT TO HAVE
TAKES AN INTEREST IN ARMY
BEEF CONTRACTS
EAGAN DOES NOT KNOW HIM
And Vet the Senator From Ohio May
Have Been Willi Secretary Alger
When the Then ConimlHNury Gen
eral Was Summoned to Tell What
Had Been Dun,. In Mnkln X Con
tractu.
WASHINGTON. March 29.— The mili
tary court appointed to inquire into Gen.
Miles' charges concerning the beef sup
plied to the army during the Spanish war
had Former Commissary General Eagan
before it today, on recall, and also heard
the testimony of Rear Admiral Stewart
and Paymaster Colby, of the Navy, and
Maj. Black and Capt. Pomeroy, volun
teer officers, who were engaged ln the
commissary service at Ponce during Gen.
Miles' Porto Rican campaign.
Gen. Eagan's testimony was not start
ling. He stated that Armour & Co. had
put in a bid to supply beef to be pre
served by a process of their own, but
that he had not considered it. He also
modified a former statement to Ihe effect
that the twenty-four-hour clause in the
beef contract had crept in as a clerical
error, saying that in the multitude of
matters which had been demanding bis
attention at the time he had forgotten its
insertion. There was an apparent effort
on the part of Maj. Lee, representing
Gen. Miles, to show that Senator Hanna
had sought to influence the contract*.
but Gen. Eagan asserted that he did not
know the senator, and no explanation
was made of the introduction of his
name. Gen. Eagan made frequent refer
ence during the giving of his testimony
to the numerous demands upon his time
during the war, making this condition an
explanation for not remembering details.
Maj. Black and Capt. Pomeroy gave the
details concerning the condition of the
beef brought to Porto Rico on the steam
er Manitoba. Capt Pomeroy stated that
of 21,000 pounds receipted for at Ponce,
C.OOO pounds had been condemned. They
also detailed the objections made by tho
men to the roast canned beef. Maj.
Black told of a conversation with Gen.
Eagan In regard to the refrigerator beef,
in which he quoted the latter as saying,
with an oath, that he would have com
pelled the men to take the beef.
"I called upon Gen. Eagan," Maj. Black
began by .saying, 'to confer with him
concerning the conduct of our affairs at
Ponce. He asked me why the refrige
rator beef was not Issued at Ponce, and
I replied tlrat it was because the issue
commissaries did not want it, as they
were getting native beef. Thereupon
Gen. Eagan became very much excited
and exclaimed:
"'G d d n them, they have no
right to refuse if: I consider it the best
beef in the f United States, and G d
d n them, I'd "nave made them take
it.' "
Maj. Black also stated that at the time
the Manitoba was on the reef he had
some conversation with Gen. Miles about
the vessel, and while there made casual
reference to the beef on board. The gen
eral seemed principally concerned to get
the troops and horses off.
Admiral Stewart and Paymaster Colby
testified to the use of canned roast beef
in the navy.
When cross-examined by Maj. Lee, Gen.
Eagan said he exercised his own discre
tion in the letting of contracts, without
suggestion from the secretary of war.
When the lowest bid was ascertained he
had been in the habit of making an ab
stract of the facts and submitting it to
the secretary, just as when he was com
missary in the army he would furnish
such an abstract to his commanding of
ficer.
SENATOR HANNA MENTIONED.
"Do you recall," asked Maj. Lee, "be
ing present when a conversation took
placo concerning the letting of these con
tracts when Senator Hanna was pres
ent?"
"I never spoke to Senator Hanna In my
life," responded Gen. Eagan, "and I
don't think I would know him if he
should step into the room now. He was
pointed out to me once, but I don't think
I should know him now."
"But," persisted Maj. Lee, "were you
ever present where he was when the beef
contracts were discussed?"
"I recall," was the reply, "that the sec
retary sent for me on one occasion and
asked me about the contracts when there
were two other gentlemen present in the
room witli him. I stated to him that the
contracts had already been let, and that
nothing more could be done. But if Sen
ator Hanna was one of the men present,
I was not aware of the fact."
Explaining the purchases of the canned
roast beef. Gen. Egan said that during the
entire war not to exceed twenty-four
days' rations all told of lt for the entire
army had been issued. It was only In
tended as a makeshift to be used when
fresh meat could not be secured.
"Some reports favorable to It and other
unfavorable came to me concerning it,"
he said. "There were some complaints
and some commendations."
Continuing, he said that he had attrib
uted the objection to this food largely
to ignorance and prejudice of the men,
"which has," he said, "been the eafUse of
the army's refusing many wholesome arti
cles of food."
Sickness among the troops also doubt
less has much to do in influencing the ob
jections to this meat, according to the
opinion of the witness.
Witness said he had conversed with
neither Gen. Miles nor Gen. Shafter con
cerning the army rations, but that Gen.
Brooke had made some recommendations
concerning bacon in cans.
With this Gen. Eagan's testimony
closed and the court adjourned for the
day, with the understanding that some
witnesses, including Gen. Miles' behalf,
would be heard tomorrow.

CABINET MEETING.
Variety of Subjects < 'on side red l>>
President ancl Advisers.
WASHINGTON, March 29.— At the cab
inet meeting today a variety of subjects
were considered, including a number of
questions which have arisen during the
two weeks of the president's absence in
the South. The adroisistration of affairs
In Cuba came up and It was practically
decided to simplify matters by consoli
dating «orne of the administrative depart
ments. The question of amending the
civil service rules and regulations in cer
tain particulars was under consideration,
and the president stilted that he desired
to dispose of the matter at an early day.
Tt was again demonstrated at today's
meeting of the cabinet that while strong
ly upholding the principles of the civil
service law, there is a disposition on the
part of the several members to criticise
its present administration.
The subject of the appointment of com
missioners to represent the United States
at tho forthcoming convention called by
the czar of Russia, wtth . a view to pro
moting peace among the nations, was ad
vanced by the president. Tt is under
stood that, three ambassadors of the
United States at European courts will
be named.
HERMANN IS WAVERING. '
Not Averse Now to Postponing; the
Sale of Pine.
WASHINGTON, March 29.— The argu
ments in favor of the postponement of
the Chippewa land sales are beginning
to have an etfect on Land Commissioner
Hermann. He talked today In a way
that Indicates that he would not object
to a postponement of the sale, although
he ls on record as being against lt ex
cept on three small reservations. In re
lation to what the secretary may decide,
Mr. Hermann said: "The secretary may
take the view that, as the legislature
bas asked for the reservation of such
a large body of land. It will be for the
best interests of the Indians to withhold
lt all from sale."
Secretary Hitchcock has given no furth
er time to the consideration of the Min
nesota pine land sales owing to the spe
cial cabinet meeting today. He Is still ln
doubt as to the proper course to pursue,
with the probabilities pointing to a post
ponement of the sales.

has extra work to do, the Tabule takes hold and helps like
a hired man.*!
