The relations between the republic of

Hayti and the republic of San Domin

Washington, April 5. —The army

court of inquiry today heard Dr. Wii"

iiam H. Daly iv regard to the charac

ter of beef furnished for the army dur

ing the late war.

Mr. Daly's testimony dealt on this

cccasion as on his first appearance,

especially with the beef supplied to the

army. His first observations had been

made on a transport at Tampa before

the sailing of tbe expedition to Santi

ago, where Colonel Weston invited his

attention to a quarter of beef hanging

on deck. Colonel Weston's only re

mark was: "Here's a quarter of beef

which has been hanging here for sixty

hours in the sun; we are to see what it

will do.'' No reference was made to

preservatives. He (Dr. Daly) cut off a

piece of the beef and cooked and ate it

next day. After that he became sick

at the stomach, but he had not felt

■convinced that the meat bad caused

the sickness.

Mr. Daly said he had since made ex

periments upon beef subjected to treat

ment by boric acid and had found it

to give forth about as foul a smell as

could well bs imagined.
