Washington, D . C, Feb. 21. The
court of Inquiry appointed by the presi
dent to Investigate the charges made by
Major Uenerul Nelson A. Miles regard
lag the beef furtilHheil to the army In
th war with Spain held a brief execu
tive session yesterday morning as Btat
4. and perfected Its organization. Ma
Jjr General .lames F. Wade presided.
All the members were In full uniform.
The others present were Brigadier Gen
eral George Davis, Colonel George L.
Gillespie and Lieutenant Colonel Geo.
O. Davis, rueorder. After organizing,
the court proceeded to the White House
and was received by the president.
From the White House the members
went to the war department and paid
their respects to Secretary Alger and
General Miles.
The court reassembled at noon in the
rooms formerly occupied by the war In
vestigating commission.
Colonel Davis brought with him on
bis return from Cuba two cans of roast
beef which were placed before the court
(or examination. After several minutes
coupled in being photographed, Colo- ,
el Davis read the order convening the i
ourt. This was followed by the read
ing of a letter from the war depart
ment giving definite Instructions to the
court.
The members were then sworn, and
General Miles was announced as the
Brut witness. His examination was con
tacted by Colonel Davis, who Inquired:
"Did you submit to the war Investi
gating commission a statement?"
"Yes sir," answered General Miles.
Colonel Davis then submitted to Gen
eral Miles a printed copy of his state
ment. Indicating to him what referred
to the question of beef supplies. This
General Miles pronounced to be a cor
rect report of his testimony, who ex
plained that It had been supplemented
by reports of regimental commanders.
Colonel Davis next called attention
ta an alleged Interview In the New
Tork Journal and asked General Miles
if he hid been correctly reported.
A clipping from the paper giving the
Interview was handed to General Miles.
After carefully reading It he remarked:
"This reported Interview, you will no
tice, has four or Ave statements saying
t declined to give names of officers. I
declined to reply to questions, and in
tact I do not recall any allegations In
that Interview that had not been given
before the war investigating commis
sion, and also in official reports from
me and other officers. As far as the In
terview is concerned, It is evidently
written from the memory of the inter
viewer. As the press has been so kind
to- the army and to the enlisted men, I
have given such Information as I
thought proper."
"That is hardly material to this ln
. tervlew," interposed Colonel Davis.
"Can you say that any one statement !
la correct or incorrect? Does it Incor
rectly set forth in any respect what
was said?"
"I don't think I could remember the
newspaper man's face should I see htm
again. In regard to the action of the
chemicals I would have to compare
that with my testimony. It was never
asserted that the canned beef was
treated with chemicals. It has been as
serted that refrigerated beef was and
such information has come to me."
"Are you now prepared to say wheth
er or not the Interview is correct? Ia
it In the main correct?"
Blames th Interviewers.
"I do not think it is in the main cor
rect," General Miles answered, at the
same time again calling attention to
the fact that he had declined to answer
the questions of the reporter.
"Here is another interview In the
Herald. What have you to say about
It?"
"I hnve a letter from the gentleman
who wrote this saying that he will
wear that I declined to be interview
ed, and that he, believing something
.bad been given out, fixed this up."
General Miles pointed out several in
accuracies in the reported Interview,
and again explained:
"I have the statement that tho writer
will swear that I declined to be inter
viewed." "Was that a fact that you declined to
be interviewed?"
-There was this conversation: 'I de
cline to be interviewed. I decline to
discuss the question, as it is before the
proper authorities.' "
"Do you give as your answer that you
did not Blve the Interview or that it
does not report you correctly?"
"It Is not correct," was the reply of
General Miles.
Colonel Davis then took up the state
ments of General Miles before the war
commission. flrBt calling attention to
his remark; about the use of cattle on
lhe hoof.
"You assumed In the beginning, then,
that beef cattle on the hoof would be
used in Cuba and Porto Kico?"
General Miles answered ulilrtuatively,
raying that from reports from odicerB,
imong them Captain Whitney, who
uras in Porto Rico as a spy, he be
lieved that beef on the hoof was to be
used In Cuba and Porto Kico. It was
lot suppoHed that cattle on the hoof
ould be procured In Cuba, but that
men cattle would be shipped there
rom this country. He reniurked that
fven now refrigerated beef was sup
plied the army in Porto Ulco and car
led to the troops through a country
.supplied with herds of cattle.
"You speak of them In your testimo
ny as the finest beef cattle In the
world. Are they large cattle?"
"No, they are small; but they are of
good quality."
"Do the people of Porto Rico export
their cattle?
"I am told so."
General Miles again said that refrig
erated beef was being supplied to the
roops on tho sea coast and also in the
nterlor. The condition now were dif
arent from those during the war. Then
here were no refrigerators on shore,
ind nut enough ice for the hospitals.
"Would the freshly killed beef not
have to be eaten quickly?"
"No, sir; no, sir. It would be killed
at nlftht. when It was cool, and would
not spoil the next day ns quickly as
refrigerated beef, unless the latter had
some artificial preservative that would
keep It seventy-two hours."
Did Not Complain to the Department.
Gen. Miles made an explanatoln to
the reports read by him to the commis
sion about the canned beef. The com
mission had Information that the offi
cers making tho reports had not been
to Po.ay Rico, and It was In explana
tion of this that General Miles directed
his remnrks, saying that he had called
fof reports only from regular regl
inpnts, ns they were familiar with the
army ration, and many of these reports
were from ofllcnrs then In this country.
What attracted attention to the can
ned beef were the reports about the
weakness of the men who had been In
Cuba.
"I thought that very unusual, and di
rected an Investigation by asking the
adjutant general to call for reports on
the subject of the beef supply of the
army."
"Did you Inform the commissary
general of this condition?"
"It Is not my duty to report to the
commlssnry general."
"Rut did you Inform him?"
"No; I had not received my reports."
"Did you Inform the secretary of
war?"
"The rule of the office Is that when I
have an order to Issue It goes to the
adjutant general. I sent the order call
ing for reports to the adjutant general
to be Issued. Under the rules of the
office It Is his duty to call the attention
of the secretary of war to such or
ders. I supposed that this had been
done."
General VHes said that he first knew
that canned beef was being Issued to
the men while In Torto Rico.
"Did you then call the attention of
the secretary of war to this Important
matter of food?"
"I did not. I was not convinced that
It was an improper article of food."
"You said that the ennned beef was
furnished as a 'pretence of experiment.'
That was serious, and implied fraud,"
remarked Colonel Davis.
"As far as fraud Is concerned I dis
claim any such Intention." quickly ex
claimed General Miles. He added that
while he had been under the Impression
that it was furnished ns an experiment,
It was not Intended by him to say
"pretence."
"I should have said theory," was his
explanation.
Referring to the remnrk "embalmed"
and the reference to the chemical treat
ment of refrigerated beef General Miles
testified that he got his first Idea about
that from a report of Surgeon Daly,
made, he believed, In the latter part of
September. Later there were other
references to processed beef. Some sus
picion had been caused among army
officers by reason of the contract for
refrigerated beef calling for the beef
to be in good condition seventy-two
hours after delivery. He hrtd also re
ceived a number of letters about the
beef supply. Eighteen of these referr
ed to "embalmed beef," five to "Inject
ed beef," three "poisoned" and one
used the term "Inoculated." Nearly
all of these letters, however, were sub
sequent to Dr. Daly's report.
"What action was taken by you after
the receipt of Dr. Daly's report?"
"The same action as in the canned
beef."
"Was any preventive action taken?"
"No. I was informed that the con
tract called for delivery of beef that
would keep seventy-two hours outside
of refrigerators In a tropical country.
I have other Information that will be
submitted to you later that I do not
care at this time to divulge."
Colonel Davis announced that he
had concluded his Inquiry, and Colonel
Gillespie Inquired:
"Did you, on arrival at Ponce, eat
any of this refrigerated beef?"
"I don't remember that I did."
"Was there any controversy among
the officers about this beef?"
"I cannot recollect that there was."
General Miles said that he may have
eaten refrigerated beef, but did not
know It.
"Then you do not know that it pos
sessed any distinguishing qualities
from other freBh beef?" continued Col
onel Gillespie.
"1 do not."
General Miles was excused.

SCHLEY DEFENDS HIMSELE.
Unwilling to Rest Under Long's
Charges of Reprehensible
Conduct at Santiago.
Washington Feb. 21, Commodore
Schley's reply to the letter of Secretary
Long regarding his course during the
Santiago campaign was filed with the
Naval Committee yesterday. Senator
Perkins Is acting chalrmnn of the com
mittee In the absence of Senator Hale,
and will luy the document before tho
committee at Its regular meeting to
day. At the first executive session tho
injunction of secrecy will be removed
and the document made public. It la
long and Is an elaborate defense of
Schley's actions and a repufatlon of
the criticisms of Sampson and Long.
Speaking of the "retrograde move
ments," which the secretary, adopting
the language of Admiral Sampson, cha
racterizes as "reprehensible conduct,"
Admiral Schley pays that In forty-two
years' service "never was such lan
guage used to characterize conduct of
mine, and I see no reason for it now."
A to the battle of Santiago, Admiral
Schley says the facts of that contest
speak for themselves He quotes from
his official report to Sampson, In which
he congratulated the commander of
the Bquudron and said the "victory
seems big enough for all of us," he
asks the committee to contrast his re
ports and those of Sampson containing
references to himself, and continues:
"As to all this criticism of my course
prior to the discovery by me on May 29
of Cervera'8 fleet, whether from Admi
ral Sampson or the department, none
of It has ever been made by either to
me, und I never heard a word of It
from anyone until after the battle with
that fleet, although more than five
weeks had passed since the alleged
'rmrehenslble conduct' had occurred.
Although Admiral Sampson used this
language to he secretary concerning
me on July 10 (Just one week after the
battle), he has never to this duy, In
any manner or to any extent. Intimated
to me any disapprobation, or made to
me any criticism of my conduct of the
flying squadron."
Admiral Schiey quotes the depart
ment's dispatch of May 29 In these
words: "The department looks to you
to ascertain the fact of the presence
of the enemy, and that the enemy, If
In the harbor at Santiago, does not
leave without d clslve action." Com
menting on this, the admiral says:
"In obedience to the above order and
without any further order or Instruc
tion from any one, I did ascertain the
fact that the enemy was at Santiago,
and the enemy did not escape without
a decisive conflict."
In conclusion Admiral Schley con
tends that the turn of the Rrooklyn In
the battle was "the crucial and decid
ing feature of the combat, and of de
cided advantage." Furthermore, he
says, it Is a mistake ot say that the
vessel's distance from the enemy was
increased to the extent of eight hun
dred yards, and adds:
"Though this may not be of record,
it is a fact, nevertheless."
He cites the fact that the charts of
the board of navigators show that the
Brooklyn was nearest when it emerged
from the harbor, nearest at every stage
of the battle, and nearest the Colon
when she surrendered.
He says he made no report of his
manoeuvre in his report of the battle,
as its effect upon the battle was never
a question with him. His last para
graph reads:
"On May 31 I received a telegram
from the commander-in-chief congrat
ulating me upon my success in locating
and blockading the enemy's fleet at
Santiago. If It was worthy of com
mendation at that time, I am at a loss
to understand how It could have grown
Into 'reprehensible conduct,' as sug
gested by Admiral Sampson In his let
ter of July 10, 1898, some six weeks
later."

Coffee-Culture in Fuerto Rico.
Coffee-raising ranks second as an
industry in Puerto Rico, bringing wage
into the pockets of thousands of earn
ers and substantial profits to the cof
fers of the plantation owner and ex
porter. Besides the assured income from a
well-planted coffee plantation, the life
of the planter and owner has many
desirable features which recommend
it as an occupation to be followed by
the American investor. First coffee
needs to be raised in the higher alti
tudes of the picturesque rolling hills,
and on the faces of the steep mount
ainous inclines which finish upward in
sharp zigzagging narrow ridges, thus
giving him a healthful, cool place of
residence, away from the hot lowlands
and fever country of the coast. Second,
in the hills and mountains living
springs for uncontaminated water-supply
are found, and, at the worst, he
has always at hand the cooler, froth
ing, dashing torrents ot the rock-bound
mountain streams from which to draw
crystaline water. Third, and perhaps
most important, no great technicle
training is required to raise coffee suc
cessfully, as is the case with raising
sugar or tobacco. Fourth, the life is
an easier one lor the proprietor
which is no small factor in a torrid
zor.e, where excessive activity is sure
to bring on fever in the case of the
unacclimated in that he travels in
the shade of the forest which shelters
his coffee-trees from the hot sun, as
he makes his overseeing tours, and
works under cover where the pulpy
berry is changed into the finished and
polished bean of commerce.
Good coffee land ranges in price
from twenty to five hundred dollars
an acre, depending upon location and
the topography of the site, and again

trees, near the great military highways,)!
within easy-hauling distance of coast

It may be said - that five hundred
dollars is a ficticious value tor any
coffee plantation, and that the owner
naming that price is usually a Span
iard, filled with a desire to return to
Spain, but inwardly tearing, even in
his dislike of the American, that the
new rule may mean unparalled pro
gress in the island. Two hundred dol
lars an acre for well-grown-trees, with
adequate shade above them, has hith
erto been considered a good round
sum for a plantation, though as much
as three hundred has been paid under
Spanish rule. Harper's Weekly.
