But there I do have a house and might be sure of enough to live on. I am old and tired and I feel like going back.” The organization of the so-called Cu- ban National party is proceeding. Meetings are held nightly and to-day the promoters issued a manifesto to the people of Havana, calling upon them to unite their efforts to organize ward committees with a view of disseminat- ing information preparatory to a na- tional convention. This movement, it is said, is due to the approaching elec- tions, but it has already developed a split in the eastern districts, where the Cuban federalists have organized to promote a republic. ing is not recognized here. In Ha- vana the national party finds its oppo- nent in the Liga Patriotica, an out- growth of the recently dissolved Junta Patriotica, which is working along the same general lines. efforts to establish a national party are regretted by the best Cuban element, as ultimate disaster is clearly foreseen.

LONDON, March 30.—The Statist this week takes an optimistic view of the business outlook here and in America. It points out that the activity of trade throughout the world is due to calmer political conditions, and referring to America, it says: “‘Speaking broadly, trade in the United States is growing marvelously and is likely to continue to grow unless the new crops prove very bad indeed or something altogether unforeseen oc- c ~ “There Is more uncertainty respect- i market than politics or trade. The probability appears to be that there will be no such rise in rates in the York money market as will lead to the shipment of much gold from Europe to the United States before summer. Of course the true balance of indebtedness to the United States is not quite redressed. The United States i pecially in jermany, and that money can-be withdrawn whenever it seems desirable, but it is not probable that money will become so dear in New York that it will'be profitable to with- draw the sums now emploved from Germany and ship them across within the next few months. “It will be different when the crops begin to be moved. If money continues to be employed in Germany on anything like the s e it is now employed it will be withdrawn when the rates rise much and Germany will be compeiled to draw. from England and France, and later, if the stringency in New York increases, gold may be shipped from Europe in considerable amounts.” DAWSON VISITED BY A BIG FIRE A Defective Flue Starts a Blaze That Destroys Two Big Buildings.

Corbett, former champion heavy-weight pugilist, and his wife had a quarrel to- night at One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street and Eighth avenue, and the woman appealed to a policeman for protection, declaring she was in fear of violence. Several hundred persons who witnessed the altercation gathered around the couple and blocked the trol- ley tracks on Eighth avenue while Po- liceman Charles Snyder of the West One Hundred and Twenty-fifth-street station used his good offices in settling the dispute between the pugilist and his wife. They had been out for din- | ner in a restaurant on One Hundred | and Twenty-fifth street, and evidently had begun there the quarrel which was continued in the street. | At the time the thoroughfare was| crowded with pedestrians, many of | whom recognized the big pugilist, who for several years has lived in Harlem. | It was noticed that the couple were quarreling. Mrs. Corbett spoke ex- citedly and he appeared very much ex- cited. Crossing over to the west side o(! Eighth avenue they paused underneath | the “L” structure, apparently intending | to take the southbound electric car of | the Eighth-avenue line. They stood | there talking in an animated tone for several minutes, when suddenly a| scream was heard and Mrs. Corbett | ran over to Policeman Snyder, who | was standing on the opposite corner.

Special, March 21 |- MARCH 31, 1899 PUTRID, SPOTTED BEEF REJECTED IN LARGE QUANTITIES Commissary Gampfer Swears Armours’ Agent Said Meat Was Chemically Treated. WASHINGTON, March 30.—There were two original witnesses before the army beef Inquiry court to-day, and two former witnesses were recalled. Lieutenant | Gampfer, who was commissary of subsfst- ence at Lakeland, Fla., and Major Creigh- ton Webb, who was on General Lawton’s staff in Cuba, testified for the first time. Colonel Woodruff of the commissary de- partment and Mr. Morehouse, the Tampa agent for Armour & Co., who superin- tended the supply of fresh beef to the troops at Lakeland, were recalled. Major | Webb's testimony dealt almost entirel with the canned roast beef, which he pro- nounced as useless as an article of food. Lieutenant Gampfer said a representative of the Armours, whom he took to be Mr. Morehouse, had told him that chemicals were used to preserve the beef. This Mr. Morehouse, when recalled, denied. To-morrow some of the medical officers who served in the Cuban campaign Wwill be examined. George A. Gampfer, a clerk Ilving fn Cin- cinnati, Ohio, who was a lieutenant in the | First Ohio Cavalry during the Spanish war, | occupying the position of regimental commis- sary while the troops were camped at Lake- land, Fla., testified first. For a time he oc- cupied the position of brigade commissary. He described the manner of receiving the fresh beef at the depot and said it came in an ordinary express car, wrapped In burlap bag- ging. Two or three total assignments of meat were rejected. He stated that much of the beef had been sour, acrid and bitter and emit- | ted a disagreeable odor when the burlaps were removed. There were spots of a light green- | | ish hue on the beef when the bags were re moved showing it to be tainted. Mr. Gampfer sald that on one occasion while the agent for Armour & Co. was present his attention was called to the spots, and he replied that the | beef was all right, saying, sald Mr. Gampfer, “the spots are due to the cnemicals we put on the meat to preserve it and prevent its spoil- | ing within the sixty hours called for by the | contract.” | This agent said that it was impossible to keep the beef in good condition for that length | of time. He stated, however, that thereafter | he would have the beef put up In tin boxes. This he did, but the meat continued to come | With spots on It. | | | | Mr. Gampfer then presented a memorandum kept by Captain Carmichael, his predecessor as brigade commissary, showing what meat had been rejected from the Ist to the I7th of Au- g This showed that the total consign- cas rejected on the 5th, 6th and 7th of that 282 pounds were refused on the ¢ the month and that no entries were | On some occasions were cut out the meat_and_con- Mr. Camp first thought Mr. More- the agent who had spoken of the The co ation had taken place in the presence of Captain Carmichael (who afterward committed suicide) and Dr. hous use of chemical Mr. Gampfer had got the impression that gome kind of a liquid composition had been used for glossing the meat over, but he had not given the matter much attention, as he supposed that if chemicals had been used they ere harmless. Mr. Gampfer was then ex- d, subject to recall. | as he understood it, | mour's warehouse in Liverpool and had been heard ma: Major C. Webb, who was General Lawton's inspector general, gave testimony concerning the meat issued in the Santiago campaign, re- | ferring especially to the canned roast beef. ‘It was not food,” he said. “It was non- nutritive, stringy, fibrous and had not the taste. It looked like the fag-ends of beef- steak. It was opening your mouth and letting the moon shine into it. It was not satisfying, something we did not want and could not give away even to the Cuban troops, who preferred hard bread.” Major Webb said that he had tried to eat the beef occasionaily when very hungry, but never received any satisfaction from {t. ex- cepting after vegetables were procurable, when It was used s hash to some advantage. “You do not, then, regard it as a suitable ration for the army 2" “1 do not,” Major Webb replied s a welghty thing to carry and it is a waste of time to eat it.'" Major Webb sald that he had found the re- frigerator beef generally good, though some of it became putrid in the hot climate. ' He had never heard of embalmed beef until he re- turned north. Colonel C. A. Woodruff, purchasing officer for the Commissary Department at New York, was recalled. He sald he had rejected some tenders of canned roast beef, but he did not remember the names of the bidders in any such cases. Colonel Woodruft stated that in one instance canned besf which had been shipped to Liver- pool, England, was brought back to this coun- try and sold for the use of the army. This purchase amounted to 350,000 pounds. The beef, had been stored in_ Ar: sent abroad i the view of selling it to the British Government. Colonel Woodruff bad letters read from representatives of varlous firms engaged in canning beef, all saying that the beef sold to the army was of first-class quality and of the same quality as the beef shioped to for- eign countries and sold to the Navy Depart- ment in large quantities. The witness said he complaints concerning this beef from officers returning from Cuba, but that one or two of them spoke favorably of it. He also said that a considerable guantity of the beef sent to Cuba had been returned to New York and that he had tested it and found it to | be in excellent condition and palatable food. In conclusion Colonel Woodruff asked permis. sion to make a remark as the senior officer of the Subsistence Department, saying: ‘‘Whether | it succeeded or not, the Subsistel Depart- | ment was animated by a desire to do all | could for the benefit of the line of the army.” Armour’s agent at Tampa, w then recalled. He said there had been two instances in which the entire proffer of mea! had been rejected at Lakeland and on three o Jur other occasions a portion of the consign- lent had been refused. He recailed a visit ) Lakeland carly in_ August, signment was rejected, and to his surprise he found the beef lying on the platform. He had then had a conversation with Captain Car- michael, but he did not remember that there was any ant Dixon en, or to have ever met Lieutenant Gampfer. who bad testified that Morehouse had said that the meat had been treated to a chemical process for preservation. No questions had been addressed to him concerning the chemi- preservation of the meat. He had never used any expression to any onme to indicate that chemicals had been used. Cross-examined, Morehouse said he believed his m as to the rejections would be more reliable with the exception as to dates than the Mr. Morehouse, | memorandum of a commissary officer of the | army.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, March 30.—A special to the Journal from Parkville, Mo., says: The south-bound Burling- ton passenger train, No. 20, from Oma- ha, was derailed three and a half miles north of Parkville at 3:30 this after- noon. Seven persons were more or less seriously hurt. The injured are: F. T. Norton, Kan- d and face | hed; O. E. Hendee, mail clerk, Kan- | sas City, face and head bruised; W. B. Yoak, Atwood, Kans., hip bruised and wrists sprained; Peter Moore, Palmyra, Mo., hip and shoulder hurt; William Rodge brakeman, leg and head hurt; Professor W. F.

Yuthan, Bell Trees, Ind.; J. B. Mallon, baggageman. Several others received slight bruises. The whole train except the dining car rolled down a twenty-foot embank- ment, carrying with it several tele- graph poles, thus breaking telegraphic communication. Fire broke out in one of the coaches and was extinguished with difficulty. The mail and baggage cars were turned bottomside up and the sleeper turned on its side. The dining car left the track, but remained upright. The cause of the wreck, though not definitely known, is supposed to have been spreading rails. The train was running at the rate of about thirty-five miles an hour. 5 The injured were removed to Kansas City on a relief train sent from that pl?f;le{e to-night Norton and Hendee were unconscious. Their condition is serious and neither may recover.

Many of the Spaniards showed the Americans wounds inflicted upon them by the shells of the American fleet. The quar- antine from Bombay was waived at Aden. At the island of Malta, in the Medi- terranean, the Raleigh met the British Mediterranean fleet, consisting of ten battleships and a number of cruisers. The British sailors extended a most cordial welcome to the Americans, and the saflors of the fleet and the soldiers of the garrison entertained the crew of the Raleigh ashore, the best of feeling prevailing. During her stay at Malta the Raleigh was crowded with British redcoats and bluejackets. The American officers were enter- tained at Cairo by United States Consul Harris and all the British and Egypt- ian officers were present. The French at Algiers showed a marked difference. There was no re- ception except from the British and American residents, although the | French officials were polite. At Gibraltar the crew of the Raleigh saw the Spanish fleet commanded by Admiral Camara. It consisted of six ships and was anchored in_Algeciras Bay. The Spanish fleet and the Ra- Jeigh sailed at the same time and pro- ceeded close to each other. The Ra- Jeigh hoisted the Spanish flag and sa- luted it.
