His Testimony Devoid of Any New Sensations SiTeral Army OfficeraT Tell of the Bad Condition of the Canned Meat and its Effect on the Soldiers. Wahlingrton, Feb. 20. General Nel son A. MMcfi was the chief witness to day befi&rathe court of (inquiry to inves tigate the charges made by him re garding the beef issued to tine army. Miles first denied thia accuracy of news paper interviews with Mm 5n the New Tork JournM and New York Herald, saying regarding- the "iatter that one of its reporters deliberaJteay faked the in terview wdth Mm, land, (he had the re porter's statement that the interview was fixed up. His idea before starting for Porto Rico was that beef oa the hoof to be obtained there would be better tham refrigerated beef. What attracted Ms attention to the bad beef, General! Miles said, was the reports about the weakntess of the men who ;had been, to Cuba aflter their ar rival at Montauk Point. There was1 to" have been a parade In Brooklyto ind were tfhabletlo march. This was unus ual and he directed an dnvestdgation by asking Adjutant General Oorbin to call toe reports on the beef supply of the ar my. He supposed an investigation had been msadev -. ' Miles said he had: received eighteen tetters about "embalmed beef," "m ected beef," and "poisoned beef." Sus picion had been, aroused that the btef had been subjected to some chemical process to preserve it 'because1 of a clause in the contract calling for beef to be in good condition seventy-two (hours after delivery. He said 'he may have eaten some of this beef in . Port Rico, buit could not recall that he had. Uieu-tenant Calvin Home, who was majior of the Twenty-second . infantry, in Cuba, testified 'that there was com- plaimt about tine canned beef. It was dry, istringy and (lacked substance. There was a piece of fat in the cenrre of each can.. This substance seemed to be a!! bofileu out of it. The fresh beef Was nearly always epoiaea wnen n reached Ms regiment. It was thrown away and-eaten by the buzzards. "Re peated boards of survey were appointed but nothing ever came of their inves ts gatiions. The matter went up to hiigher authority and that was the last of it. Lieutenant Oolonel Minor, Sixth in fantry, swore that the canned beef la- sued to 'his regiment in Cuba fell to ptteces when cut with' a, knife. It had absolutely no nutriment In St. "I believe now; and I believed then," Ueut.

York Journal correspondent cables that Queen Victoria is to 'have tine most pre- , tentious of modern royal yacbts, which w'rll soon come from tine ways at the Pembroke dockyard, a new yacht of 423 tons greater displacement than that of Emperor William's. The British vessel will ihave a total displacement of 4,600 tons, wi be 420 long and 50 feet beam. It wiii be the first of the moyal vessels propelled by Screws, the old yachts being slide-Wheeled affairs. It will also differ from tthese old craft, the newest of which the Osborne, was "built to 1870, in that it is bding built of steel, whereas they are of wood. The new royal yacM will be a graceful craft, with three funnels and three masts and fitted out sumptu ously and artistically. This yachit Will) "be christened by one of the royal princesses, and wMl proba bly be called the Enchantress, although that name is vigoroutsHy criticised and may be cast aside for the Britannia.

To Long V Criticism of "Reprehensible' ' ' Conduct. Explains why the Brooklyn Made its Turn at Santiago Repeats His Ressons for De ciding to Quit Santiago. The Letter from the Admiral is An other Incident in the Sampson Schiey Contest for Position. Washington, Feb. 20. The senate commli ttee on naval affairs received to day from Admfiiral Schley two state merits in response to an invitation . for the presenilation of the side of the con ttroversy over the nomination Admiral Sampson to a place in the naval list' above Schley's Schley's slatemei.U are answers to a Iter of Secretary iJong containing criticism.;. o Schlep. The most interesting etaj'cement is a defense by iScMey of the manoeuvre made by the Brooklyn when she ran 'toward the: Spanish fleet, and then turned away from the enemy and out ward, describing a circle which brought faer again In line with the enemy. TMs move, Schley says, w:ad made tr that the Brooklyn would nort get between the enemy and 'other American ships, thus cutting off a goodly portion of he :f:. - un; , &cniey details at lengtih Ms reasons for determlindng to leave Santiago, the difficulties of coaaifeg, etc. He speaks somewhat bitterly of Long's criifloism of his conduct as "reprehensible, " and says that not Sn a professional life of over forty-two years was any euch lan guage used to characterize "his conduct, and he says !he can see no reason for its use now. He quotes Sampson's crtti dism and then refers to the congratula tory llett'ter .he sent to Sampson and the difference in tone of both communica tions. He points out -that the Brooklyn . received by far the greater number of hfts from the enemy's guns and suffer ed the only loss 5n men sustained dur- 'ing the battle. 8A031HG50 MWEV RFHAUSE SAMPSON WASN'T INCLUDED Washlington, . Feb! 20. Congressman Boutelle, chalirman of t!he committee on naval affairs, is being severely criti cised for pSgeon holing the senate bill creating the grade of admiral for Dew ey. Boutelle wants the grade of vice admiiraf to be revived for Sampson's benefit, and therefore is holding up the ofher tyi'll to force acceptance of his measu'rgi. It is pointed out that Dewey ; has really been given no reward to speak of, as, though he was made rear adrnirafl after the victory aft Manila, he would have reached that grade dn or dinary promotion last December.
