ROTTEN WEE FOR SOLDIERS
Sensation About to Develop That
May Scandalize the Adminis

By Associated Press
•Cincinnati, (Dec, 23.—General Miles re
turns 1 to Washington today after being
the guest. of honor here last night at the
New England 'banquet. The Commercial
Tribune tola 5' has the following interview
-with him. When a*ked as to the investi
gation into the ration scandal to which he
referred In bis testimony on Wednesday,
General Miles said:
-'(My suspicions were aroused several
months ago and 1 at once instituted an in
vestigation unto the matter of sending
beef to the army in the West Indie*. The
it’in in my testimony of Wednesday relat
ing to 327 tons of refrigerator beef and
198,000 (pounds of canned fresh beef which ,
was unfit for food, is only an item. This I
quantity was sent (to one town in Porto |
'Rico alone. How much more was sent to •
•Porto 'Rieq I 'do not know.”
How about the supply for the army in
< 'uba?”
'll wa«- just as bad. The conditions
th<-rc were no better than they were in
'Poilo Rico, as I indiciated in my tesitmo
ny"
"How abou the rations 'before the army
embarked? 'Was the supply no better be
fore the transports sailde than after the
army was established in Cuba?”
“It was the same at Tampa and the !
s.itne ai Jacksonville.”
“Wiill you give a little more light on '
what you aneant by this assertion in your
h i.inonj' before the war commission yes- i
terday?” j
General Milts .suggested that the food I
was sent to his large army under pretense :
of an exiperimeat.
”1 think,” continued General (Miles, i
‘‘/that that sentence is sufficiently plain.”
Pretense,' he Bald, “as 'the precise term
to be used. It. is absurd to pretend that
these enormous quari'liP lte of beef were
s»nt to an tn tire. army simply as an ex
periment. T\> expect that beef can be ex
posed to tbs tropical sun for sixteen hours
.witriout 'mortifying is out of the question.”
t Kow about the chemicals used in pre- ,
ph ring this beef?”
”1 stated in my /testimony that I believ
ed the action of these chemicals was very
largely responsible for /the sickness in the
army. 1 have medical authority for the
statement and I believe it to be true.”
‘‘How far along has your investigation
into the subject progressed?”
‘ It began several months ago, and I have
Hie testimony of a large number of offi
cers and men upon this matter, seme of
which I gave in my testimony before the
commission yesterday. IMy inquiry is still
in progress and some of 'the most im
/portant information I have received has I
been acquired in the last few days."
"What channel will this investigation j
take upon its conclusion?” j
"I will not discuss that. It is my duty
to investigate any wrong existing in the
■army and that I am now doing in the Teg
ular manner. The wonk is not completed
yet. and until it is done I will have noth
ing to add /to the statement 1 made before
the war commission yesterday.”
"What was the matter with the tents?”
"There were not enough of them. They
were not suited to stand the wear and
some of 'them were poor."

Canadian Authorities Laying a Heavy Hand
Upon Sea Robbers.
By Associated Press.
Victoria, B. C., Dec. 23. —The Dominion
customs authorities have begun a was of
extermination on the fleet of sloops and
schooners, the majority of which are
American vessels, hailing from Puget
Sound. They have made considerable
money and defrauded the customs ot con
siderable money by the sale of their con
traband goods to the Indians and other
settlers along the British Columia North
ern coast line. To this end they are about
to establish a chain of protective stations
along the coast. Officers will be stationed
at each who will be empowered to seize
any vessel found smuggling or otherwise
breaking the customs laws. The stations
will be at Albert bay. Bellacola. Porcher
island, Clayoquot. Ahousalt and Quetisno.
.Although they will not be among ports
of entry, coasting and Alaskan traders
•will be allowed to go in there for coal,
wood or supplies and will be restricted
to these ports only. Should they go Jn
ut any other places which the law forbids
they will be seized. The officer at Porcher
island will be exercised mostly in watch
ing rhe American fishing craft which go
to the Hecute straits for halibut. Some of
these engaged in fishing there have been
in the habit of landing on Porcher island
to dry nets, and this practice will in fu
ture be disallowed.

Death of an American Musi
cian Who Did Much for
Art.
By Associated Press.
New York, Dec 23.—A cable dispatch
from \\ iesbaden, Germany, announces the
death of Sebastian Bach Mills, a well
known pianist and composer, aged sixty
yeans.
His father was a musiedan and 'he show
ed that he had inherited his talent at a
very early age, for he appeared as an in
iant prodigy and played before Queen
Victoria by special command when only
seven years old. He received his musical
education at the Leipsic conservatory and
came to this country in 1859. His appear
ance at concerts as 'well as his compost- '
tions gained him a national reputation.
In the year of his arriveal in the United
States he married Miss Antonia Young, of
•C'nic-ago, whom he had met at the Leipsic
conservatory, where she was also a stu
dent and whose brother, Otto Young, is a
prominent merchant of that city. She was
a native of Germany, however, and it was
in accord with her wish to end her days
in the fatherland and (Mr. Mills went to
Germany with her last April and estab
lished himself in his profession in the city
where he died.

CAMPBELL IS NOT WORRIED.
Over Bailey’s Resolutions—Says He Will
Remaiji in Army. „
Savannah. Ga., Dee. 23. —Congressman
James R. Campbell, colonel of the Ninth
Illinois regiment, is not worrying about
his seat in congress. He gave out an in
terview today in which he said:
"I will go to Cuba with my regiment re
gardless to what congress does about my
seat in the house. If allowed to retain my
seat in the bouse I shall merely draw the
smaller pay of a colonel while not perform
ing my duties there. From what I know
of cases of this kind 5 n the past, there is
no absolute precedent under which con
gress can act. 'Different houses have act
ed in different ways. It might be well for
the matter to be definitely decided at this
time. I once thought of resigning. but
the governor urged me to stay, saying the
time would be short, and I consented to do
so. The time has been longer than I ex
pected. but I am widh my men now and I
expect to see them through it all. While
in command of my regiment I have never
drawn anything but a colonel's salary
from the government and do not expect to.
Congressman Bailey and myself have al
ways been good friends and I do not think
his resolution was aimed at me. Whai
differences there are between himself and
'General Wheeler I do not know.”
Colonel Campbell is .proud of his regi
ment. every one of whom—and there are
1,300 —4s a Democrat. He says the health
of the men is good, and out of 1.350 the
regiment started out with, only twenty
three have died in six months. There is
not a man in the hospital new. and com
pany A has not lost a man since the com
pany left home.
