Drooko that tho Cuban standing army
ot 16,000 men is a necessary adjunct to

without eliciting as jot any roply.
Tho proposition is not likely to rccelvo
much consideration at liaidquartors,
though considerable surprise was oc
casioned by this magnlflcont project
whlob, It ndoptod, Gomez doubtless
bollovcs, would bo placed undor his

"Will you formulate n protest to the

no comment, criticism or statemont to

tnko It as certain that any alleged In

A very clojo frland of Gon. Miles,
and an officer of the army, when asked
If there was anything for tho general

of tho beof bonrd, replied:
"Thoro la nothing for lilm to say or

and findings ot tho military court ap
pointed to InvcsMgnto the charges
niatlo by MaJ. Gen. MIIm, commanding

army during the war was unfit tor tho
use ot the troops.
The most Important teaturo of tho
report nro:
The finding Is Hint the gonernl's nl
legations that tho refrigerated beet was
treated with chemicals nro not ostab
Untied ; that his itlleRnUons concern'
lug the canned frtwli or canned roast

that tho moats supplied to tho nrmy

plied to tho trade generally, nnd tho
rccommondntlon Hint no further pro

Tho conclusion ot tho court adverse
to further proceedlnge IhucxI upon tho
charges Is ns follows:
"It has beon developed In the course
ot tho Inquiry ns recltod In this ro
port that In somo Instance tome In

"Tho court also finds that tb major

Justification for alleging that the ro
frlgoratod beet was embalmed or was

finds that he committed error In that,
