JOURNAL, LOUISVILLE. tion that "but little testimony was mitted by him in this contention." The inference drawn by the court the absence of such testimony la verse to the existence of the practice alleged to prevail by the Major General commanding. Attention is then called to the that the testimony bearing apon chemicalization of the beef deals it only at the time of its Issuance to troops and an analysis of this is made with the result of showing "considerable difference of view. to the substances used and the mode of their application." Daly's Proof Not Accepted, Considerable attention is given to Mr. Daly's testimony concerning the refrigerated beef on the transport Panama: and also to his report concerning the beef supplied to the volunteers statoned at Chickamauga.

Referring to the surgeon's analysis of -residuum from beef secured on the transport, the court calls attention to the fact that he approved the finding of the board of survey and that, notwithstanding there were other medical officers on board, no reference was made by him to his suspicion that the meat had been cheinically treated. Rejection of Miles' Witnesses. The report closes with the following statement: The court with a deep sense of the responsibilities devolving upon it has labored zealously to bring out the truth and beleves that it has tully covered all the matters referred to it for investigation. That the calling of more witnesses from the large number suggested by the Major Generas commanding, including all those who have taken part in the operations of the war, would only have resulted in additional testimony upon the same lines as those pursued without throwing further light upon the questions involved. Several witnesses who were duly subpoenaed to appear before the court did not obey the summons.

Some of these were called at the Instance of the court. Having knowledge of the fact that the statutes did not make it possible to punish witnesses who refuse to testify before a courtmartial or court of inquiry, the court took no steps to compel their attendance. The document is signed by J. F. Wade, Major General, United States volunteers, President; George B.

Davis, Lieutenant Colonel, Deputy Judge Advocate General, Recorder. The report having been. submitted, with the proceedings, to the President, the following are the orders thereon: Executive Mansion, Washington, D. May 6, 1899. -The findings of the Court of Inquiry was approved.

"But I have nothing to say, he added, "either about the report, the method of testimony or the conclusions reached." "Does that mean that so far as you are concerned you will let the matter rest where the report leaves it? asked the reporter. "I have nothing to say," replied Maj. Gen, Miles.

MONDAY MORNING. MAY 8. 1899. between the Government of the United States and certain men who are in insurrection against the lawful authority of the United States.

We believe that such condition of insurrection has arisen from a course of events which, when once Instituted, has moved an irresistible E0- quence to the present situation; that this course of events began with the barbarities practiced by the Spanish Government toward the inhabitants of the leland. cf Cuba. These barbarities were continued by the Spanish authorities in spite of our protestations and entreaties through series of years for an amelioration of these dreadful conditions, and finally culminated in the destruction of our war vessel, the Maine, in the harbor of Havana. Every step which followed has been ineritable sequent of the preceding eventswar between the two nations, the success of American arms and the consequence which attach to the conquest of an armed foe. Among these consequences were the occupation of the Philippine Islands -by the American naval and military forces and the substitution during the remaluder of the war of a sovereignty of the conqueror for that of the conquered.

In the Philippine Islands, with the exception of a single year, Spanish sovereignty has been complete since the Sixteenth century. Spain collected the taxes, held the fortifications, appointed all the civil offleers, Spanish viceroys, Spanish judges, Spanish courts administered the laws which were prociatmed by the Spanish Government and enforced by the Spanish army and navy. The sudden destruction of this sovereignty compelled the substftution of the sovereignty of the conqueror. No other Government in the archipelago was competent to receive the authority surrendered by Spain. Our Government had to accept and assume the responsibilities of the situation and execute the duties devolved upon it by the change in the administration of the laws.

The only alternative was to surrender the islands to anarchy or to foreign and selfish intervention. Nelther course was compatible with duty or with the dictates of humanity. Therefore, after the conquest in the harbor of Manila, it was incumbent on our Government to protect life and property throughout the archipelago. "We recognize and declare the facts to be that, from the 13th day of August, 1898, until the 4th day of February, 1890, peace prevailed in Manila under the protection of American arms; that, on the day last named, an Insurgent force assailed our army in its fortifications and encampments, under the cover of darkness, and by this act of aggression Inaugurated hostilities, the first result of which was intended to be wholesale massacre and the destruction of property within the city. "We recite with sorrow the fact that the chief encouragement extended to the insurgents has been from some misguided fellow-citizens; and to them must be asscribed much of the bloodshed and ruin which has followed.

further declare that the Government of the United States has sought in every honorable way to secure a cessation of hostilities, as evinced by the appointment of a commission fully authorized to treat with the insurgents and to offer them peace and amnesty, and by the action of our military and naval authorities, who have at all times been ready to protect those who would surrender their arms and cease their warfare against the Government of the United States. "We point to the fact that these efforts of peace have been continuously rejected by the insurgents, until it became manifest even to them that they were waging a hopeless war. "Second- -We declare our bellet in the high honor and just action of our army and navy in the Philippine Islands. We belleve that our Government has taken every step that it should take to secure peace and order. We believe that the Administration and representing the Government has highly fully discharged its duty in the premises.

We consider it. our part to share the burdens. of our Government rather than to embarrass its efforts and thus prolong the conflict of arms. We know that at this very hour our soldiers in arms are face to face with an armed foe; and until the close of hostilities we know only our country, its army and navy, and its Es ecutive. We pledge to them while our flag shall be in battle our unfaltering support.

We as Araericans take pride in the achievements of our army and navy, both in the war with Spain and in the present military operations in the island of Luzon. The heroism of officers and men alike have shed renewed luster on American arms. The cause in which they have fought was and is a just one. They are now fighting for the security of the lives of peaceable non-combatants throughout the archipelago, and in just reprisal of an unprovoked attack. We believe that the sending of seditious appeals to the Amercan troops, engaged in hostilities, is an act of treasonable character, and that every appeal to them to abandon their colors or disregard their duty as soldiers merits the lasting condemnation of every patriot.

"Fifth The Government of the United States should be. and we believe will be, true to its principles in the disposition of all questions that may arise in the future in our relationship with the people of the Philippine Islands, Sixth We regard the great issue of the hour to be the success of our country in the performance of the duty which it owes to civilization. Until this is assured -until armed insurrection has ceased- we have no terms to offer but the Ameriean terms of unconditional surrender." Letters of Regret. Letters of regret were read from Judge Lambert Tree, the Rev. Dr.

Lyman Abbott and Dr. E. Benjamin Andrews. All expressed themselves in full accord with the object of the meeting. TO DIVIDE KENTUCKY TWO JUDICIAL DISTRICTS IN THE STATE.

Said Confidently That Change Will Be Made Before the Next Congress Adjourns. TOO MUCH WORK ON HAND. Before the next Congress adjourns, it positively asserted that Kentucky will be divided into two judicial districts. Two bills were presented in the last Congress, by Judge Evans in the lower house and by Senator Deboe in the Senate, providing for two districts in Kentucky and these bills will be revived when Congress meets next December, The bills will provide for a district to include Louisville, Owensboro and Paducah, and another including Frankforte and Covington. Court is held in all these places now by the one Judge.

Since the new bankruptcy law went Into effect, it is utterly impossible for one Judge to transact all the business. Even before this law was passed, the Kentucky Judge had more work on his hands than any other Judge in the surrounding States. Indiana is the only State bordering on Kentucky which is Included in one district. The cases which come before the Indiana Judge do not average half those which come before the Kentucky Judge. The docket in.

Indiana's court is almost entirely civil. That State has none of the many internal revenue cases to dispose of which Kentucky, by reason of its bustness, is called upon to consider at every term of court. It was the pressure of all this regular business with the addition of the bankruptcy business which compelled Judge Barr to retire. is understood that Judge Evans has also found the duties very heavy and bill for the division of the State will pushed in the next Congress.

MEAT, GOOD OR BAD, WAS THE ARTICLE OF COMMERCE. EAGAN IS SEVERELY REBUKED. Miles' Proof of Embalming Insufficient, and For That Reason He Is Censured. ALSO FOR FAILING TO REPORT. May direction of the President, who approves the findings, Acting Secretary of War Melklejohn to-day made public the report and findings of the military court appointed to investigate the charges made by Maj.

Gen. 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 finding that the Major General's allegations regarding the refrigerated beef was treated with chemicals were not established: 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 a long-continued field ration; censure of Maj. -Gen. Miles for "error" In falling to promptly notify the Secretary of War when he first formed the opinion that the food was unfit; censure of the Commissary General (then Brig.

Gen. Eagan) for the too extensive purchases of the canned beef as an untried ration; censure of Col. Maus, of Maj. Gen. staff; the finding that the packers were not at fault and that the meats supplied to the army were of the same quality as those supplied to the trade generally, and the recommendation that no further proceedings will be taken in the premises.

The conclusion of the court adverse to further proceedings based upon the charges is as follows: It has evdeloped in the course of the Inquiry as recited in this report that In some instances some individuals failed to perform the full measure of duty or to. observe the proprieties which dignify high military command, but the court is of the opinion that the mere statement in the official report of the facts developed meets the ends of discipline; and that the Inter. ests of the service will be best subserved if further proceedings be nut taken, There is more or less criticism of Maj. Gen. Miles in various parts of the report.

Probably the most direct instance is the one which states that beyond the criticism of officers found elsewhere in the report: The court finds that against none of the officers commanding corps, divisions, brigades and regiments and their staff. oftlcers should a charge of guilty be brought. The court also finds that the Major General commanding the army had no suffcient 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 beHet 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 experiment; that other beef was embalmed, he did not immediately report such knowledge or belief to the Secretary of War to the end and that a proper remedy might be promptly applied. Why Maus Is Censured.

The censure of Col. Maus, Inspector General of Maj. Gen. Miles' staff, is based upon his failure to call attention to charges concerning the beef at Chickamauga contained in a report of inspection made by Surgeon Major Daly on the 26th of October last, in which he stated his belief that the meat was chemically treated. The silence of Col.

Maus," says the court, "on so important a matter as the chemicalized beef reported by Maj. Daly and personally known to himself, is most remarkable." The remark is also made that Maj. Gen. Miles' failure to draw special attention to this report is "unexplained." Where Miles Was At Fault. Commenting upon Maj.

Gen. Miles' testimony that he had first formed the opinion last August that the refrigerated beef had been processed, the court remarks: Whatever the data upon which he formed a belief or a reasonable suspicion, that the health of the troops was being impair. ed by the use of deleterious food, it was his bounden duty, in the opinion of the court, Instantly to take the most effective measures within his control to ascertain the actual fact and to correct the wrong, any should be found. It would have been practicable to obtain samples of the beef then being suppled to the army by contractors, and to have submitted these. samples to chemical examination which would have resulted in the detection of the presence or absence of boric: or salicylio acids or any other chemical agent that may have been used as a preservative agent.

Yet no such precaution as that suggested was taken by the Major Gen. eral commanding at that time or at any subsequent time, so far as has been learned by the court. The court finds that the allegations of the Major General commanding to the effect that the refrigerated beef supplied to the troops was treated with chemical preservatives have, not been established. The court also finds that 50 much of the allegations of the Major General commanding in respect to the canned roast beef as relates to its unsultability for food, as actually used on the transports and. as to its extensive or long-continued use as a field ration are sustained.

In the opinion of the court none of the other allecations in relation to the canned fresh beet is sustained. The evidence shows that Col. John F. Weston, Assistant Commissary General of Subsistence, recommended the adoption of the canned roast beef as component of the field ration, and to this extent he is responsible. Severe Rebukes For Eagan.

The report places the quantity of canned roast beef purchased for the war by the Commissary department at 847,174 pounds, including 350,000 pounds which was brought from Liverpool and other English ports. This amount is characterized as excessive, and the Commissary General (Brig. several Gen. Eagan) is severely criticised in parts of the document on this score. One of the severest rebukes is as follows: Considering the little use that has been made of this beef in the regular army, the probability that the volunteers were entirely ignorant of It, and that its use as a part of.

the fleld ration had never been sanctioned by the President or Secretary of War, the court can but characterize the ac. tion of the Commissary General of Subsistence as unwarranted and reckless, In that he ordered the purchase of such enormous quantities of food that was prac. tically untried and unknown, and the court so finds. The court also finds that there is no ground for any imputation whatever of any other actuating motive on the part NEV. ITANAGER OF THE DEMOCRACY.

J. G. Johnson, who has been placed at the head of the Democratic National Committee during the absence in Europe of Senator Jones, is the Kansas member of the committee, and is a warm friend of William Jennings Bryan and a stanch ad. vocate of fusion and silver at the Chicago platform ratio. Mr.

Johnson has been active in politics for a long time and is accounted one of the strong members of the National Committee. He divides his time chiefly between his practice of law and the affairs of the Order of Modern Wocdmen, of which he is the head. He was born In Brooklyn, and early removed to Peoria, and thence to Peabody, where he resides. of the Commissary General than the earnest desire to secure the best possible food for the troops. The court proncunces this act of the Commissary General of Subsistence a colossal error, for which there is no palliation.

The Neglect In Cuba. The court finds that there was neglect in Cuba, and to a less degree in Porto Rico, in delivering the refrigerated beef, The opinion is expressed that it would have been impracticable to land beef cattle on the hoof in Cuba, the remark of the court on this point being as follows: The commanding General of the expedition characterizes as absurd" such proposition, and many of his commanding officers, whose opinion is given in the testicoincided with him in the: impracticability or inexpediency of such a project. The court concurs in the opinion of thou, men whose experience in active military service dated from 1861. Packers All Are Guiltless. An Instruction of the President's to the court was: "If the packers of the country are guilty it must.

be known." Replying to this direction the court says: The court Ands that at outbreak of hostilities in April, 1898, the packers of canned beef were engaged in the manufacture of an article of standard quality, well known to the trude and the Subsistence Department under the name of canned roast beet. The methods of backing then in use were the same as those habitually employed in the preparation of the meat as an article of commerce, and the court does not find that they underwent any change during the progress of the war. The large purchases for the use of the military forces during the months of Mav and June, 1898, were made -not at the solicitation of the packers or in consequence of efforts put forth by them tor that purpose- but by the order and upon the initiative of the Commissar General of Subeistence, such purchases being made in every case by officers of his department in tha usual manner. On another point connected with the packers the court says: Although the subject of readjustment of accounts between the United States and the contractors was not. referred to the court, it appears from the testimony that whenever any cans have been found to be defective subsequent to their original delivery to the Subsistence Department, such cans have been replaced in every instance.

Replying specifically to the other questions set out by the President, the court says: That the canned beef was described as "fresh" because it was not salt, but that the meat was not old or stale. That the refrigerated beef furnished the army was not "doctored or treated with other agency than cold air." That the meat purchased for the army was the meat of commerce, that both kinds refrigerated and canned- were such as are well known in both hemispheres as commercial articles, of which there is and has been very large consumption, not only by the trade generally, but by the United States navy and by the armies, and navies of Europe. Receipt of Complaints Not Denied. That no reports of unfitness or unsultability of the beef sent from the United States were forwarded to the War Department by any general officer serving in Cuba or Porto Rico while the field operations were in progress, nor were any such reports received until more than one month after hostilities ceased. That, barring some defects in methods of inspecting the beef, on its delivery to the Subsistnce Department, the deterioration of the meat in shipment was due to the fault of no one.

Miles' Newspaper Interviews. The charges of Maj. Miles, made in newspaper Interviews, as well as those made before the War Investigation Comision, are referred to at length, among them being the interview with the Major General sent out from the New York office of the Asociated Press on January 31 in which Maj. Gen. Miles was quoted as saying that he had "overwhelming evidence that the beet was treated with chemicals to preserve It and that he had affidavits from men who saw the beef undergoing the embalming process The court notes the denial which Maj.

Gen. Miles made on this part of the conversation as it was printed in the New York Herald, but prints the charge as a part of the allegations saying on this point: The testimony of both Mr. Reid and Mr. Berry, of the New York Tines, agree in the verity of the interview, as reported by the former, and this is found in the Herald clipping. The court does not, therefore, Ignore this paragraph, but treats it as a part of the allegations which are under investigation.

Summing up the results of the investigations of the chemists employed by the court, the court says: The contents of all the cases, which coneisted of boiled rather than roast beef, were found to be perfectly sweet with an all odor of cooked meat. The beef in nearly the cans appeared to have been softened without. by injurious exposure to heat, but apparently from effect as to its quality; apart found the meat contents were this tion in to be in a good state of preservative every were case. No trace of preservaacids found in any of the cans.

PROGRAMME ARRANGED FOR FIRST CONCERT TO-NIGHT. CHORUS' LAST: REHEARSAL. New Cloth Ceiling At Auditorium Improves That Building's Splendid Acoustics. SEMBRICH LOSES $10,000. Most of the artists for Louisville's Music Festival, reached the city from Birmingham last night, two hours late, tired but Jolly.

In the party were Sig. Campanari, who will divide honors with Marie Brema; George Hamlin, Anna Lohbiller, Sara Anderson, Myron Whitney, Clarence Shirley and Blanche Towle. Marie Brema left New York yesterday morning, and will reach here at noon to-day, as will Evan Williams, Gwillym Miles and Mme. Jacoby, The Boston Festival Orchestra, with Emil Mollenhauer, director, and George W. Stewart, manager, also reached the city.

All are registered at the Galt House, Mr. Stewart was met at the hotel by Messrs. C. H. Shackleton, Andrew Broaddus and Thomas G.

Watkins, the Festival Committee, to make the changes in the programme made necessary by the withdrawal of Mme. Sembrich, After much patient work, the following excellent programme was arranged for, to-night: Artists: Miss Marie Brema, Miss Sara Anderson, Mr. George Hamiin and Mr. Myron W. Whitney, Jr.

Overture Carnival Messe Solonnelle Gounod Miss Anderson, Mr. Hamlin, Mr. Whitney, Chorus and Orchestra, Aria- of Sheba Gounod Miss Brema, Wotan's Farewell and Fire Charm, Wagner Mr. Whitney and Orchestra. Lancelot's Song (Elaine) Bemberg Mr.

Hamlin. Les Adieux de Jeanne Miss Anderson. Cantata- Narcissus Massenet Miss Anderson, Mr. Hamlin, Chorus and Orchestra, Three Songs Wagner Miss Brema, Overture-Die Meistersinger Wagner In speaking of the unfortunate illness of Mme. Sembrich and the engagement of Miss Brema to take her place, Mr.

Stewart said; "I think we were very fortunate: in getting an artist so, famous and so capable as Miss Brema to take Mme. Sembrich's place. Miss. Brema is in the same class with Mme. Sembrich and is recognized by music critics all over the world as a singer of splendid attainments.

She was the last of the great sopranos left in this country, and even she had intended sailing for Europe on Tuesday. Mme. Sembrich was compelled to give up seven engagements on account of her unfortunate Illness, thereby losing about 000. The canceling of her engagements was made with much, regret, both by Mme. Sembrich and myself." Miss Buckley, who also expected to sing at the Festival, telegraphed Mr.

Broaddus last night that she could not come, but the management does not feel that Miss Buckley's withdrawal will affect the success of the Festival. Director Shackelton rehearsed his chorus at the Auditorium yesterday afternoon, in order to accustom the chorus to the big hall and to acquaint them with the acoustic properties of the spacious building. The acoustic properties of the building are excellent, but to Im. prove them Mr. Shackleton had new celling stretched over the stage.

The ceiling is of cloth, tight as a drum, and improves very much the effect of the singing, especially the more subdued passages. The chorus will have another rehearsal with the orchestra this afternoon, as will the soloists. NOMINATIONS MADE. MANY ENTRIES FOR TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION OFFICES.
