MILES IS CENSUEED
MUCH CRITICISM OF THE GENERAL
BY BEEF BOARD OF INQUIRY.
Xrrtd In Falling to Nqttfjr th« Secretary
of War That the Food Wm Unfit -No
Chemicals Ware Vied-—Allegations to
1
That Effect Held Not Established by
the Testimony Given—General Eagaa
Reproved for Too Extensive Baying of
Untried Rations.
WASHINGTON, May 8.—.direction
©I the president, who approves the find
ings, Acting Secretary of War Meikle-
John has made pnblio the report and
findings of the military court appointed
to investigate the charges made by
Ifajor General Miles, commanding the
army, that the beef supplied to the
army during the war with Spain was
unfit for the use of the troops. The
most important features of the report
are:
The findings that the general's alle
gations that the refrigerated beef was
treated with chemicals were not estab
lished that his allegations concerning
the canned fresh or canned roast beef
were sustained as to its unsuitability
for food as used on the transports and
as along continued field ration censure
of General Miles for "error" in failure
to promptly notify the secretary of war
when he first formed the opinion that
the food was unfit censure of the cbm
xnissary general (then General Qf^an)
for the too extensive purchases of the
canned beef as'an untried ration.
Adverse to Farther Proceedings.
That the allegations of General Miles
that the refrigerated beef was
plied to the army was of the same qual
ity as that supplied to the trade gener
ally, and the recommendation is that
no further proceedings be taken in the
premises.
The conclusion of the court, adverse
to further proceedings based upon the
charges, is as follows:
"It has been developed in the course
of the inquiry, as recited in this report,
that in some instances some individuals
failed to perform their full duty or to
observe the proprieties which dignify
high military command, but the court
is of the opinion that the mere state
ment in the official report of the facts
developed meets the ends of disoipline
and that the interests of the service will
be best subserved if further prpceedings
be not taken."
There is more or less criticism of
General Miles in various parts of the
report.. Probably the modt direct In
stance is the following:
General Miles* Action Unjustifiable.
"The court finds that against none of
the officers commanding corps, divi
sions, brigades and regiments and their
staff officers should a charge of guilt be
brought.
"The court also' finds that the major
general oomriianaing the srmy had no
sufficient justification for alleging that
the refrigerated beef was,embalmed or
was unfit for issue to troops. It also
finds that he committed an error in that
having belief or knowledge as claimed
that the food was unfit, that it caused
sickness and distress, that some of it
was supplied under the pretense of ex
periment, that other beef was em
balmed, he did not immediately report
such knowledge or belief to the secre
tary of war to the end that a proper
remedy might.be promptly applied."
The censure of Colonel Maus, in
spector general on General Miles'' staff,
is based upon his failure to call Atten
tion to charges, concerning the beef at
Chickamauga.
Beef on the Hoof Impracticable.
The report declares that it would
have been impracticable to land beef
cattle on the hoof in Cuba, the remarks
of the court on this point being as fol
lows:
"The commanding general of the ex
pedition characterized as 'absurd' such
a proposition, and many of his com
manding officers, whose opinions are
given in the testimony, coincided with
him in the impracticability or inex
pediency of such a project. The cpurt
concurs in the opinion."
Summing up the reports of the inves
tigations of the chemists employed by
the court, the court says:
"The contents of all the cases, which
consisted of boiled rather than roast
beef, were found to be perfectly sweet
with an odor of cooked meat. The beef
in nearly all the cans appeared to have
been softened by exposure to heat, but
apparently without injurious effect as
to its quality apart from this the meat
contents were found to be in a good
state of preservation in'every case. No
trace of preservative acids weire found
in any of the cans.".
HAS NOTHING TO SAY.
General Miles Silent as to His Intentions
in the Matter.
WASHINGTON, May 8.-—Major General
Miles, when asked whether he had any
comment to make upon the report of
the court of inquiry said he had read
it, bnt "I have nothing to say upon the
report, the decision reached, the manner
of taking testimony or the conclusions."
'.'Does that mean to say that as far as
you are concerned you will let the mat
1
ter rest where it lays?" asked the re
porter.
"I have nothing to say."

COMBINES TO COMBINE.
A.vl
the Xarge Steel Interests to Be
Merged Into One Company.
NEW YORK, May^&—The Times says:
The rumors of an immense combination
of steel interests/are praotibally con*
firmed by John W. Gates, president of
the American Steel and Wire company,
who returned from a European trip on
Saturday. The combination, unless the
present plans of vthe promoters are
changed, will include practically all the
big concerns of the coufitry, and will
have a capitalization of between $700,
000,000 and 1800,000,000. The proposed
combination ii» yet far from complete in
point of detail, but the presence in this
city of the representatives of the great
est steel interests of the United States
led Mr. Gates to says that in all proba
bility the next few days will see it
whipped into tangible shape.
"As I have just returned from
abroad," Mr. Gates explained, "I can
not go into details in this matter, but it
is pretty safe to say that the combina
tion will go through, and that its capi
tal will nearly be $800,000,000. About
all the big companies may come in, the
principal ones of whioh will be the Car
negie company, the National Steel oom
pany, the American Steel and Wire com
pany, and probably the bar steel inters
ests, as now represented by the Repub
lic Steel company."
EXTRA SESSION "PERHAPS.
Congress May Be Called Together Early
In the Vail.
WASHINGTON, May 6.—There is a
growing belief among prominent mem
bers of congress that the president will
call congress to meet in extraordinary
sessions this fall, probably in October.
The questions which will come before
the next congress for settlement, in
cluding as they do everything growing
out of our possessions acquired as a re
sult of the war with Spain and the gen
eral legislation including that relating
to currency reform, the Nicaragua
canal, and the merchant marine are of
such importance that the president is
said to regard it as necessary that con
gress should meet earlier than the ses
sion in December, in order to get the
work under way. The retirement of
Speaker Reed Will naturally entail con
siderable delay in committees in the
house as it is customary to allow anew
speaker four or five weekq to make np
his committees and this furnishes an
additional reason why congress should
be convened before December.. Of the
several senators and members of con
gress who are going abroad this sum
mer, the president has particularly in
quired as to the length of their stay and
has hinted that it was advisable that
they should be back in the early fall, as
necessity for an extra session might
arise.
THE TRANSVALL TROUBLE.
Chamberlain Makee a Plain Demand of
President JKroger—Krnger's Reply.
LONDON, May 8,-^fhe Outlook pub
lishes a special dispatch from, its Cape
Town ^correspondent, in which it is
stated that the British secretary of state
for tlje colonies, Mr. Joseph Chamber
lain, has dispatched a firmly worded de
mand upon the Transvaal republic that
it must observe its obligations to the
queen, as the paramount power, by se
curing peaoe and order within the re
public. This demand, the dispatch
says, is suplementary to the demand for
the cancellation of the dynamite con
cession and'is taken to mean that the
British -government deems that the
time has come to invite President Kru
ger to observe the letter as well as the
spirit of the London convention." It is
not stated how far the demand takes
the form of an ultimatum, or if a time
is fixed within which the redress of the
grievances of the outlanders shall be
made.
President Krnger's Beply.
CAPE TOWN, May 8.—The reply of
President Krnger of the Transvaal re
public-to the demand from the British
secretary of state for the colonies, Mr.
Joseph Chamberlain, for the cancella
tion of the dynamite concession is pub
lished here. President Kruger con
tends that the concession is bona fide
and constitutes no breach of, the Lon
don convention. The Transvaal,. Presi
dent Kruger insists, is entitled to its
opinion as to what is for the best inter
ests of the republic.
The amendment of the concession as
asked by the British government, the
president adds, would be* a breach of
faith with regard, to other parties
RAILROAD TRUSt.
Combine Formed to Include All Lines
Between Boston and Chicago.
CLEVELAND, May 9.—The Leader
says: According to a high official of
the Vanderbilt lines in this city the de
tails of a big railway trust which is to
include all the lines between Boston
and Chicago are now being worked out
and the consolidation maybe completed
within the next few weeks. The recent
purchase of short lines in New York,
Pennsylvania* Ohio, Indiana and Illi
nois was in line with the plans for the
consolidation which have been in con
templation.
It is not the intention to have all the
lines under one management exactly,
but to apportion them among the Penn
sylvania company the Vanderbilt inter
ests and the Baltimore and Ohio com
pany, when it shall have been reorgan
ized, giving to each System the lines it
can use to the best interest.
The purpose of the consolidation is
laid to be to prevent rate cutting and to
accomplish practically what the Joint
Traffic association was organized to do.

erage hat Fifty Men, AH Having a
Worn Appearance.
MANILA, May 8.—To clear the Fili
pinos out of Bacolor, about seven miles
south qf San Fernando, will be the next
task of the Americans. The rebel gen
eral, Mascado, has a force of 0,000 men
there, well armed and possessed of
plenty of ammunition. His troops have
never met American soldiers and they
think, according to reports carried to
San Fernando, that they "can lick the
whole lot." Bacolor is well intrenched
and thousands of natives are working
like beavers digging trenches and carry
ing the dirt baskets The enemy
uses his riflemen for fighting only, but
oompels the bolomen and Chinese and
even the women to labor incessantly.
In the vicinity of Laguna de Bay the
rebels are extremely active, but the
lines of General Ovenshine and Colonel
Wholly, who is commanding General
King's brigade, have been materially
strengthened and there is no dancer in
that direction.
It is rumored thkt Mabini, president
of the cabinet and minister of foreign
affairs in the so-called Filipino govern
ment, who is a radical, is to be succeed
ed by Patreno, the framer of the Span
ish' treaty of 1898. This change is
regarded as significant at the present
juncture.
The entrance of the Americane into,
San Fernando was virtually unopposed.
The Filipinos, who expected the invad
ers to approach from the sea, had that
side of the town strongly guarded, but
there was only one line of trenches be
yond San Tomas. Two battalions of
the Fifty-first Iowa regiment, which
swam the river north of the city, were
smartly peppered while in the water,
but the rebt Is disappeared as soon as
the Americans reached the shore. Ii
the meantime the hospital squad had
walked across the bridge into the city
supposing the Americans were there.
They encountered no natives.
The Soldiers Enjoying Life.
The army is greatly enjoying life,at
San Fernando, which is the most pic
turesque and wealthy town the Ameri
cans have entered since the occupation
of Manila. It is largely built of stone,
the river close at hand and high hills
almost surround it. Many sugar fac
tories indicate a thriving industry in
that respect and there are numerous
fine residences. General Mac
Arthur's
permanent headquarters is established
in the best house in town, which is
richly decorated with frescoes £nd
carved woods. i,
The troops are encamped aroundf- in
the suburbs and are beginning to think
they may be quartered there during
the wet season. After Bacolor has been
cleared water communication with
Manila may be established.
The Amer'can troops are much ex
hausted by the campaign, except Jhe
Iowa troops, which are comparatively
fresh. The regiments of the division
average less that 50 men to a company
and all have a weather-worn appear
ance.
UP SAN FERNANDO RIVER.
An Expedition That Failed to Connect
With General Mao Arthur.
MANILA, May 9.-2:15 p.' m.—The
army's gunboats Laguna de Bay and
Cavadonga, under command of Captain
Grant, which started up the San Fer
nando river for Guagua on Sunday, as
was presumed to establish there abase
of supplies for the troops engaged in
the northern campaign, have returned.
Major General MacArthur failed1 to
connect with the expedition. The gun
boats found tebels entrenched, at Sos
moan and Guagua, on the water fronts
of the towns. The vesseld steamed past
the works, shelling the occupants and
driving them out. Landing parties
from the boats entered both townB, cap
turing at Sosmoan a Spanish captain in
uniform who was ostensibly a prisoner
in th4 hands of the rebels and also a na
tive officer. Arriving at Guagua, the
town and a small gunboat were found
to be burning, and the natives, were
evacuating the place in consequence of
the bombardment.
At Sosmoan, the landing party cap
tured a number of Filipino.flags and a
quantity of arms, chiefly bolos and bows
and arrows, besides a lot of band instru
ments which the men played as they
marched back to the boats.
Captain Grant's expedition will prob
ably return up the San Fernando river
after having been reinforced on recently
purchased light draft Spanish steamers.
END NOT FAR OFF.
Belief Again Expressed That the Fill
pinos Are Beady to, Quit Fighting.
WASHINGTON, May 9.—That the war
in the Philippines is nearing a cloqf is
now openly predicted in and out of gov
ernment circles. The fact th^t the con
tents of a cablegram from General Otis
were given to the public only in part
was freely commented upon, and it is
believed that the portions, of the mes
sage suppressed relate to the probability
of an early surrender of Aguinaldo's
forces to the Americans) To strengthen
this belief came the announcement of
the selection of Rear Admiral Watson
to succeed Admiral Dewey in command
of the Asiatic squadron, and the issuing
of orders to Admiral Watson to prepare
to proceed to Manila at an early date
T|ie Filipinos are making but a goof
