4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5, 1899 DOCTORS AGREE WAS THAT THE BEEF EMBALMED General Miles Has Already Made Out a Strong Case Before the Court of Inquiry. ASHINGTON, April 4. Army Court of Inquiry to-day again heard Dr. Daly in re- gard to the character of beet furnished to the army during the 1 war. He reiterated his former statements, paid his respects 1o the War Commission and declared that the refrigerator beef smelt like a cadaver after it had been embalmed. Dr. Nicodemus of Philadelphia, who saw service in Porto Rico, corroborated this testimony, comparing the smell of the beef to the odor about a dissecting-room. The day 1t out a proposit om General Mil ly the court with th names of of witnesses and that he bruary offered the official r 147 officers as testimony, but that court had not indicated its acceptance of them ; Dr. Willlam P.

He had given the specimen no treatment except to remove the fat by filtering through raw cotton. Asked if he was still as much convinced report of the quality the beef, he : “I am stronger in convictions than I ever was from the solicited evidence that has come to me ce the report was made.” Dr. Bdwin 1. Nicodemus of Philadelphta, as when he made h of d my a surgeon in the Porto Rican campaign, testified that both the canned roast and refri he latter beef on the transport was suggestive of the dis: , the odor being characteristic Some of the men after cating it had manifested symptoms of ptomaine poisoning. He inferred that the beef had undergone chemical treatment. ator beef was very unsatisfactor; Missis from the normal taste and smell of meat. - SHAFTER GOES EAST TO ASSIST EAGAN In obedience to a most unexpected and rather mysterious dispatch from the As- sistant Secretary of War, General Shafter left last night for Washington to appear a witness before the court of inquiry, which is now investigating the charges preferred by General Miles against the beef furnished the army by Commissary General Eagan. The dispatch was from Schwan, assistant adjutant general, and dirccted that General Shafter should re- port in person to the court immediately. General Shafter left at 6 o'clock last night, sied by his ald, Captain . H. Plummer of the Tenth United States ry. The two officers went by £ Ogden and will reach Washington unday night. There veral facts connected with the summoning of General Shafter as a witness that tend to show that A is playing a last desperate card in his efforts to upset the evidence that Miles has brought before the court and that General as recently I called from this cit Washington is thought by some to be the reason of Gen- | Shafter summoned. \gan was here he had is iew with General Shafter.

The general will be absent from the department about two weeks.” seem to indicate that Alger has just found out that Shafter's testimony may help his cause, and that Alger only found this out through General sagan. This 18 the general opinion around headquarters, and it is needless to say that this opinion is expressed sub rosd When the court was recently at Omaha General Shafter was not thought of, al- though he could have appeared at that time w his department. As is known, General agan had a conference with General hafter when he was here, and when he turned to Washington he was also in conference with Alger. On top of this comes the summons for ‘General Shafter to appear before the court of inquiry, and the strange fact in the case is that Alger is in no apparent way connected with the dispatch. General Shafter's testimony will be important, and it is thought by some that Alger hopes to use it succe fully against that already placed before the court by General Miles.

CAPTAIN ANKERS IS MISSING SINCE LAST FRIDAY. Sailors’ Wages Advanced $5 a Month. Ferry Steamer Berkeley Does | More Damage at the Union Depot. £ Captain George Ankers of the three- | masted schooner Oceania Vance is miss- | ing, and his fricnds fear that he has lost | his life in the waters of the bay. The | vessel arrived here from Honolulu last | Thursday with a load of sugar, and an- | On Friday morning Captain Ankers was on his way to the tugboat office to get a boat to take the Vance to Long wharf, Oakland. He chatted with Sergeant Mahoney of the Harbor police for a while and then went | to the tug office at the foot of Vallejo street. The schooner was moved to Oak- land, but the captain did not go in his vessel. He was not seen again during the course of the day, but at night was spoken to on the Oakland ferry-boat by two of the emploves of J. R. Hanity & Co.,! agents of the Oceania Vance. Captain AnKkers had his dinner on the ferry-boat, and said he was golng to his vessel. That was the last time he s known to have been seen. His wife and family In Mill | Valley are almost distracted over his dis- appearance, and‘the agents of the vessel | do not know what to make of it, but fear | & the worst. Captain Ankers was all right when seen | on the ferry steamer by the employes of He did not have much money on him, but carried a small hand satchel, which Mr. Hanify thinks might with him the money to pay the crew. Long whart is always crowded with rail- road cars and is only haif planked. It is in consequence a very dangerous place to navigate, especfally at night. The general supposition is that the captain | made a misstep and fell through the wharf, striking his head against a pile as he’ went down. The Oceania Vance came over from Oakland and docked at esterday. ptain Murchi- on of the entine Uncle John has taken command of her and will sail her Honolulu. The missing man was one of the best- sters in San Francisco. He was brought up in the employ of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, and a year or 50 ago was master of the San Juan in the Panan de. During his last yoy- age his s went ashore, but got off without any damage. There'is a rule in the Mail Company, however, that a cap- tain whose vessel meets with an accident that might have been avoided loses his position; so Captain Ankers had to seek another place. He was a splendld navi- ator and a thorough seaman, and there- fore had no dijfficulty in securing a com- mand. He took the Oceania Vance from here to Australia with a load of lumber, loaded coal at Newcastle, N. S. W., for Honolulu, and from the latter port brought sugar here. He had not received / nor were his accounts with the | settled up, but everything has ince overhauled and found to be to a cent Coasting sallors are jubilant.

During the winter months all the sugar fleet with the exception of the Spreckels and Willlams-Dimond vessels paid $25 a month, the exceptions named paying $30 until last month, when the rate was made all around. When the vessels that ade the cut come back they will have to pay the old rate.

On her ar- rival here from the East the Leelanaw was built up and placed in the Klondike trade. When the bottom fell out of that boom she was laid up for a time and then when a chance offered her deck hamper was removed and she was put in the coal ade. She will now be fitted like the | Conemaugh and will go into the trans- | port business as a mule carrier.
