He Found the Canned Roast Beef
a Good Article of Food,
IN THIS HE IS AN EXCZPTIO N
At It Himself Daring the Santiago Cam
paign and Heard No Complaint of It
Till Ha Ilrtnrned to This Couiitry-Our
Troops la Cuba Had Plenty of Good
rood,
Washington, April 12. At yesterday's
taqulry of the Army Buaiu Major Cen
tral William II. Shatter, commander
of the Cuban campaign was the princi
pal witness.
The members of the court. In compli
ment to the witness, arose when he ap
peared. Gen. Phafter briefly explained
the organization of the Cuban expedi
tion. "Did you have charge of the outfit
ting and equipment of the expedition?"
asked Col. Davis.
"Nothing whatever."
"What determined the amount of
applies?"
"The capacity of the vessels."
Gen. Shafter said that what the ex
pedition had to take in the way of
food was on hand and the only ques
tion was to get It on the vessels.
"When did you become aware that
vanned roast beef was to be used?"
"When 1 was In Washington Gen.
Eagan told me he proposed to issue
canned roast beef and supply a very
good article."
"Was the subject discussed of tak
ing beef on the hoof?"
"I don't think It was ever discussed.
It was too absurd to think about."
"Would It have been practicable
looking back at the campaign?"
"I should say not. It would have
been hazardous. Had we been home
here it would have been much the best
tiling to have taken."
"What were the meat components of
the three days' rations they were
rdered to take with them after land
ing" "t can't tell you. I think they were
to be bacon and canned roast beef. The
order did not specify. They could have
taken with them all bacon or all beef.
Those troops that landed on the 22d
had expected their three days' rations
before the transportation was landed,
but they were near Siboney, where sup
plies were being landed, and I think
they get more supplies."
Gen. Shafter said the orders regard
ing; transportation were that the
wagons should take complete rations,
not that one wagon should take only
sugar, another coffee and another
meat, but that they should take com
plete rations, as nearly as possible.
"What complaints, If any, did you
hear about the canned roast beef after
the landing and prior to the sur
render ?"
"None. I never heard any complaint
that canned roast beef was unfit for
food until I returned from Cuba
Canned roast beef was a new thing. I
had never heard of It before, but In
Cuba I ate It myself every day. Of
course, In that climate it was not en'
orery appetizing, but there was no
complaint that It was unfit for food.
Gen. Shafter explained .hat the food
question was the only Important prob
lem. The troops had a proper supply
of meat, bread, sugar and coffee. There
were one or two days that there was a
shortage of sugar and coffee.
Recorder Davis called Gen. Shatter's
attention to the Inquiry of Secretary
Alger, made early in July, based on
Richard Harding Davis's charges of
suffering. Gen. Shafter replied that
there was no suffering among the
troops from lack of food. The troops
handled their supplies carelessly. Vol
unteers threw their haversacks away,
but the regular' troops as a rule piled
theirs up and left a man to guard them,
Gen. Shafter explained that he sent
to Secretary Alger a telegram replying
to the Davis criticisms. As to refrig
erated beef he had heard one com
plaint about its spoling before arrival
at the camp of the regiment that made
the complaint. He remarked that he
had Issued orders that refrigerated
beef should be unloaded about 2 o'clock
in the morning. Gen. Shafter said the
refrigerated beef was entirely satis
factory all the time. He had taken
particular notice of the refrigerated
beef and each day drove by the deck
where it was unloaded. He had heard
of but one complaint about it, and at
no time suspected that It had been
chemically treated.
"I attributed the sickness entirely to
exposure, the exertions of an active
campaign and the climate," replied
Gen. Shatter to a question.
"Did you attribute any sickness to an
Insufficiency of food?"
"I did not."
Gen. Shafter did not recall any con
ference with Gen. Miles on the question
of the food supply prior to the sailing
or the expedition.
Major Lee asked: "General, will you
state If your expedition was fully sup
piled with a meat supply that you now
regard as sufficient and wholesome?'
"It was," replied Oen. Shafter.
On cross-examination Gen. Shafter
said he recalled that some one came
to him about July 5 and complained
that some regiment was without food,
and that the men were paying a dollar
apiece for hardtack. This, on lnvestl-
Ration, was found to be untrue. As to
reports on the rations, Gen. Shafter
said:
"I know of a report forwarded by Col.
Koosevelt, In which something was said
bout the food supply. I won't say
what the report was, because It JuBt
iaSBed throush my hands. The emer
' rency was passed, and nothing could be
done to rectify It."
Major Lee read extracts from Col.
"toosevelt's reports, In which com-
plaint was made of the lack of food.
"If they didn't have rations it was
heir own fault. If they didn't carry
their rations with them they didn't
Have rations simply through their own
carelessness, replied Gen. Shafter.
Major Lee continued to read where
Col. Roosevelt remarked that certain
articles were purchased to afford the
-nen relief from hardtack and bacon,
fjen. Shafter sarcastically responded:
"That Is a complaint that they did not
lave enough delicacies. They did not
ike the bacon and hardtack. I got
ired of It, too, but It was the ration
irovlded b" law. I had nothing to do
with the ration provided by the law."
Gen. Shafter denied Col. Roosevelt's
statement that he was on the trans
port two weeks going to Cuba.
"They were tied at wharf all but
seven days of the two weeks. If they
were running short of their rations
they could have drawn more. The com
mlssary was right across the street.
His men were on shore all the time."
Reverting to the canned roast beef
the witness remarked that It was not
palatable at a temperature of 100 deg.
"General, did you have any Informa
tion of Col. Roosevelt's report of Sept.
10?"
"I did. It was made after the return
to Montauk and too late to do any
thing." Gen. Shafter said he did not know
positively of any better substitute for
fresh beef than the canned roast beef.
Pressed closely as to the adaptability
of the ration supplied In Cuba, he re
marked: "Our ration was not well
adapted to the service there. There Is
no use talking about It. I had nothing !
to do with that. Congress In the united
States had the making of the army ra
tion. They are the people to talk about
It."
He thought less meat and more rice
and vegetables would be better for use
In the tropics. He did not know that
the canned roast beef was a part of the
army ration until It was Issued for the
Cuban campaign. He had not known
of Its use in the army before. In Cuba
hi ate It right from the can without Its
being recooked. It would have been
out of the question for the men on the
firing line to have made stews out of It
with potatoes and onions. i
'In view of condemnation of the
canned roast beef by about 75 per cent,
of the officers In Cuba, what would you
say about its further use?" i
'As I have said I don't know of any
thing better. Personally I prefer clear
bacon. I want to say that canned roast
beef was not unfit for food. That It
was unpalatable, uninviting and with- ,
oui lasie is perrectiy true, out 11 was
not unfit for food."
THE SAMPAN AGREEMENT.
Commissioners r. ipse ted to Sail from Ban
Francisco Eight Day Hence,
Washington, April 12. As a result of
conferences at the State Department
and at the Brltisti Embassy, efforts
wll be made to have the Samoan High
Commission make a quick trip across
the country, reaching San Francisco in
time to catch the steamer leaving for
Samoa one week from to-morrow. This
Is regarded as a distinctly favorable
turn In the negotiations, and as Indi
cating that the three governments are
very near to a complete accord on all
points of the commission. It does away
also, with the reports that Germany
was withholding the appointment of
her Commissioner, and makes practi
cally certain that Baron Speck von
Sternberg, First Secretary of the Ger
man Embassy here, will be the German
High Commissioner.
In an authoritative quarter It was
stated to-day that reports of a German
protest against Admiral Kautz's course
In reference to the treatment of the
German cruiser Falke were unwar
ranted. All the negotiations, It Is said.
In the highest German quarters, are of
such a character as to bring the gov
ernments mere closely together. In
stead of separating them.
Payment of tin 30,000,000.
Washington, April 12. No definite
arrangement has yet been made for
paying the $20,000,000 indemnity to
Spain, as authorized by the Treaty of
Paris. It was said at the Treasury De
partment that the Government would
not deem Itself under obligation to de
liver the money In any form on the
other side of the ocean, but that a war
rant for the $20,000,000, probably on the
New Tork Sub-Treasury, would be is
sued to any person bearing the proper
credentials from the Spanish Govern
ment showing that he was authorized
to receive It on the behart of Spain.
This Is the position taken by Secre
tary Gage several weeks ago, and hs
has maintained the same view up to
this time. Secretary Gage does not
deem It necessary to discuss the ques
tion of transporting the specie to Spain
or of paying the amount of the indem
nity by foreign exchange, for in his
opinion the Government Is not bound
in any way to deliver the money, ex
cept at the United States Treasury or
at one of Its branches most convenient
for the Spanish agent who may be dele
gated to receive it.
The payment of the indemnity was
briefly discussed at the meeting of the
Cabinet. The President and his ad
visers concurred in Secretary Gage's
view of the matter some time ago. Sec
retary Hay said to-day that the Am
bassador of France, M. Cambon, had
been requested to inform the Madrid
Government that the $20,000,00 was
payable In any form, either at New
York or Washington, at any time an
agent should be delegated to receive it.
No reply has been received from Spain,
but It may be that the Indemnity will
be paid through the agency of the
French Embassy.
ORDERS FOR THE RALEIGH.
Washington Tails Her to Reach Maw Tork
on Saturday.
New York, April 13. Mavor Van
Wyck has received the following dis
patch from Capt. Crownlnnshleld,
Chief of the Bureau of Navigation,
Washington:
"Raleigh arrived Bermuda 9th. Ord
ered yesterday to reacti New York
morning 15th. Will telegraph furflier
information as received."
Edward Lauterbach, a member of
the Finance- Committee, said that so
great was the enthusiasm of the pub
lic over the chance to greet the Raleigh
that when It Is determined Just what
sum will be required to defray the ex
penses of the celebration the amount
can be obtained Inside of ten minutes.
The committee which has In hand the
task of arranging a river parade re
ports that the demonstration which
was made over Admiral Schley's re
turned squadron will be eclipsed. Near
ly every available vessel in the harbor
will be in the parade, providing it is
decided to make this the feature of the
reception. Suggestions Innumerable
as to the entertainment on shore of the
officers and crew of the Raleigh have
been received. . The theatrical man
agers want the jackles to accept boxes.
At a late hour the Committee on Plan
and Scope rejected the proposition to
have a land parade, and decided to de
vote all of Its energies to a naval de
monstration. It will be decided to
morrow whether there shall be a grand
municipal banquet to ofllcers and crew.
MR. CROKERJS SHY NOW
Won't Appear Before the Mazet
' Committee Voluntarily!
HAS CHANGED HIS MIND
Says Re In "Not Chaslug Investigating
, Committer" and Will Testify Only In
Rrsponsa to a Suoyoena 'o Call tho
. InTestlgnllnn a "Fleca of Spite Work."
New York, April 12. Richard Croker
has faced completely about In his atti
tude toward the Maaet Investigating
Committee. From being willing to ap
pear as a witness at any time the com
mittee would intimate that he was
wanted, as he announced to the publto
at the Democratic Club a week ago,
Mr. Croker shifted his position so that
to-day he declared with a considerable
show of Ill-temper that he was "not
chasing around after Investigating
committees and certainly would not be
a witness until he was regularly sub
poenaed." Ever since the Committee
was appointed the Impression has pre
vailed that Mr. Croker was perfectly
willing to testify, and Dr. O'Sulllvan,
who represents the city officers at the
Inquiry, made formal announcement to
the Committee yesterday that Mr,
Croker stood ready to appear whenever
he was wanted, and that It would not
be necessary to serve a summons on
him. Mr. Croker said to-day that Dr.
O'Sulllvan had no authority to speak
for him and he repeated his declaration
that he would go before the Investiga
tors only In response to a subpoena.
Mr. Croker announced his change of
attitude at the Democratic Club, where
he was surrounded by a number of
prominent Tammany fnen.
. "What do you think of the Mazet In
vestigation as far as it has gone?" Mr.
Croker was asked.
"That's a funny question to ask me,"
Mr. Croker replied. "What have I got
to do with the Investigation?"
. "Your son has already been called as
a witness and you are announced by
the committee as the next witness."
"Well," said Mr. Croker, "If they
have announced me, they have done so
without authoifty. I have never been
subpoenaed. I am not chasing around
after Investigating committees."
"Dr. O'Sulllvan, who represents the
city officers at the inquiry, said to the
committee that you would be glad to
appear whenever the committee want
ed you an dthat a subpoena would not
be necessary."
"Well," was the reply, "he had no
right ,to say that. I do net Intend to go
before that committee unless I am
regularly subpoenaed according to
law."
Mr. Croker was again asked what he
thought of the progress the commit
tee was making.
"I think It's a piece of spite work,"
Mr. Croker replied. "It's nothing but
revenge."
"What cause have the members to
seek revenge?"
"Because the were disappointed at
Albany."
"In what particular measure?"
"In everything. For Instance, In the
Amsterdam avenue grab and the As- i
torla Gas bill. The Chairman of the ',
Investigating committee was especially
interested in the Astoria gas matter.
It's all a question of revenge, and I am
not going to go before the committee
unless I am subpoenaed."
The Democratic Club, usually quiet
and deserted In the early morning, was
alive yesterday with Tammany men
who called early to see Mr. Croker. The
Tammany leader came downstairs
about 10 o'clock and was Immediately
surrounded by callers. He was not in
his merriest mood, and something
seemed to be troubling his mind. When
he spoke of the Mazet committee It was
not in the jaunty manner In which he
had referred to It before, but with a
show of bitterness that he has not
hitherto exhibited. He showed for the
first time that whether or not the re
suits of the Investigation amounted to
much, he and his colleagues were sub- J
Jected to much embarrassment.
Frank Moss, counsel to the Investi
gating Committee, seemed very much '
astonished when Mr. Croker's state- .
ment that he would not appear before
the Investigating Committee unless he
' received a subpoena was repeated to
him.
"Did he say that?" Mr. Moss asked
quickly. "Of course, I could not as
sume othor than that Dr. O'Sulllvan
was telling the truth - when he an
nounced that Mr. Croker would appear
before the committee whenever he was
wanted. I assumed that Dr. O'Sulllvan
spoke by authority."
"Will you subpoena Mr. Croker?" Mr.
Moss was asked.
"I will not answer that question. I
have not announced a single witness
who has been subpoenaed and I do not
Intend to."
"Will the city Magistrates be put on
the stand?"
"I can't say; maybe so, If It is neces
sary to have them."
"Is It true that Major Asa Bird Gar
diner has been subpoenaed?" Mr. Moss
I was asked.
"I am not going to say who has been
subpoenaed. I have no statements to
make except those I will make in open
committee."
When the. Mazet Investigating Com
mittee returns to this city on Thursday
night to take up on the following morn
ing the thread of Its Investigation Into
Tammany municipal abuses, it will
have ready for the public a statement
of the committee's views as to the In
quiry. Chairman Mazet said befor re
turning to Albany that such a state
ment would be prepared, and it Is pre
sumed that it will give the views of
the committee as to the scope and pur
pose of the Investigation. Just at pres
ent there are no fixed limits to the In
vestigation, and Mr. Mazet's anounce
ment that a statement would be issued
was taken to mean that the committee
would define the scope of Its labors,
and that hereafter the inquiry would
be confined to the fixed limit.
Frank Moss, counsel to the commit
tee, said that he was still as hard at
work as ever preparing for the next
session of the committee, but he said
that there was nothing that he could
make public concerning his work Just
yet. The general fcellef Is that Richard
Croker will be On the stand during all
of next Friday's session. It may be
that he will be the only witness exam
ined this week, as the Saturday session
of the committee will be shortened on
accpunt of the reception to the cruiser
Raleigh, which Is expected to arrive
here from Manila on that day. Mr.
Mazet Is a member of the Reception
Committee, and In order that he may
take part in the enthusiastlo welcome
to the warship and that his associates
and others may be on hand, It Is prob
able that only a morning session of the
committee will be held.
Mr. Moss smiled when he read of the
sudden spasm of virtue that has seized
upon Capt. Price In the Tenderloin pre
cinct. Last night, as a result of fresh
orders from the Captain, thirty women
were arrested on the streets In the
Tenderloin precinct, and the Captain
himself personally conducted a raid on
an opium Joint.
VANDERBILTS IN AFIRE.
Tho Newly Wedded Couple Routed Out at
an Early Hour,
New York, April 12. The country
house of William K. Vanderbllt, known
as "Idle Hour," was completely de
stroyed by fire at an early hour yesUr
day, at Oakdale, Long Island. Not a
portion of the bluldlng remains stand
ing. William K. Vanderbllt, Jr., and
his wife escaped unhurt, as did all the
other occupants. Nearly all the paint
ings and furniture were destroyed, the
hour at which the fire occurred pre
venting the saving of much that was
valuable.
The fire was discovered by one of the
watchman, who saw flames coming
from the cellar at half-post throe
o'clock in the morning. The watchman
aroused the occupants of the house,
who soon began to hurry from the
building. Mr. and Mrs. Vnaderbllt
were among the first to leave the
house. They went a few hundred feet
away from the blaze and stood quietly
watching It while the servants began
to remove some of the furniture on the
lower floors. One of the servants car
ried a rocking-chair to Mrs. Vander
bllt, who, after throwing a heavy robe
about her shoulders, sat in the rocking
chair and watched the destruction of
the house.
Mr. Vanderbllt left his wife as soon
as he saw she was In no danger, and
gave directions for subduln the fire.
He had an alarm turned in speedily,
and the volunteer firemen of Sayvllle
and Oakdale were notified. The mem
bers of the South Side Country Club
were aroused, and they ran to the
Vanderbllt house as rapidly as possible
and endeavored in every way to extin
guish the flames, but without the least
success.
When the volunteer firemen of the
neighboring villages reached the Van
derbllt grounds, the flames had spread
throughout the entire structure, and
had communicated to the annex. In
two hours the building was In ruins.
Mrs. Vanderbllt remained seated in the
chair on the lawn until half-past six,
w hen the flames had almost died out.
Mr. Vanderbllt, after his fruitless ef
forts to prevent the destruction of his
father's property, returned to his wife,
and they went to the house of the
lodge-keeper at Westgate.
A Point for Mrs. Ooorge.
Canton, O., April 12. In the trial of
Mrs. Annie George for the murder of
George D. Saxton, brother-in-law of
President McKlnley. The State had
established beyond any doubt that Mrs.
George was within two blocks of the
place where Saxton's body was found
within ten minutes of the time It is al
leged Saxton was murdered. The pri
mary fact established by the State was
that of Saxton's death. This was done
by means of several physicians. Sax
ton had four bullet wounds In his body,
two of which were fatal wounds.
The State yesterday Introduced more
witnesses to show that Mrs. George
had been in the neighborhood on the
night of the murder. Janitor Noble
and his wife of the Dannemiller block,
where Attorney Sterling's office is, tes
tified that Mrs. George was there "at
obout 7 o'clock or a little before." This
was a point for the defence, as It has
declared all along that Mrs. George
was at this place, two miles from the
scene of the murder at 7 o'clock, while
the State declares she did not reach the
place until some time after 7 o'clock.
Judore McCartv of the Pnmmnn Pl.o.
Bench testified that Mrs. George had
come to his home about 5.35 o'clock on
the evening of the murder and had
asked him if she could not go to the
Saxton block, despite the injunction
Issued by Judge McCarty restraining
her. He told her she could not do so
and she said she would not go.
