" Ul >eetor general , inernl Mile's staff, t]c based upon his failure to call ntten- 8j] on to charges concerning the beef at m hickamauga contained in n report of jj ispection made by Dr. (or Major) Da- tj, , on the l2(?tb of October lust, in liieh ho stater, his belief that the beef ^ as chemically treated. j "The silence of Colonel Mans," says ic court, "on so important a matter ^ \ the chemicalized beef reported by ,, fajor Daly and personally known to jj iinsolf, is most remarkable." The remark is also mado that Gen rnl Milos' failure to draw special at- J ntion to this report is "nuex- oj lnined*" si) The roport places the quantity of inned ioast heef purchased for the nr hy tho commissary department at 847,171 pounds, including 350,000 hicli was brought froui Liverpool and Tl llier English ports. This nmount is characterized as ex?ssive and the commissary general 111 leneral Eugan) is severely criticized i several ]>arts cf the document on ? lis score. za One of the several rebukes is us foliws: J1 "Oondering tho little uso that has eon niado of this heef in the regular rmy, the probability that tho volun- 1 lers were entirely ignorant of it that s use as a part of tho field ration had ever been sanctioned hy tho presient or secretary of war, tho court can n. iu cunracterize the action of the comliasnry general of subsistence as nnurrnuted ami reckless iu tlmt lie or-" ered the purchase of such enormous nantities of food that was practically ntried and unknown, and the court J > finds. The court finds that there is r> ground for any imputation whatk'er of any other actuating motivo on 10 part of the commissary genoral ian the earnest desire to procure the , ost possible food for the troops. 1 "The court pronounces this act of :? le general of subsistence a colossal ! ror for which there is no palliation." WI in . _rt.w?vw w investigate the charges made by Mflj or General I Miles, commanding the army, that the J beM supplied to the army daring the f war withaSpain was nntit for the nse af the troops. . ' ] The most important features of the pport are: * * * ' The finding that' the general's atle-' ;ations that the refrigerated beef was ^si reatcd with chemicals were not estab- O] islied; that his allegations concerning tie canned fresh or canned' roast beef ^ ere sustained as to its nns^itability m >r food as used on the transports and ^C< i a long continued field ration; cen- ^ ire of General Miles for "error" in f~iv arVw he'n'lio'' iirai' '/orm'eS tlie opln311 that the food was unfit; censUre of g lie commissary general (then General fi lagan) for the two extensive purchase 8T f the canned beef as an untried ra-? fo t n-1 1 " uu, wiibiiiij oi v oiunwi iuaus, or gen- ce rnl staff; 'the findiug that the packers ere not. at fault, and that the mefcts oi iipplfed to the army were of the same af hality oh those sullied to the trade or enernlly, and the recommendation ct lat no farther .proceedings will be S] tken in the proceedings. .' is The oonclusidn of the court advefif at > further proceedings based -jgpon the barges is as follows; f "It has beeri*developed tn tfratotireif f the inquiry as recited in this report u< iat in some instances some iudivida!s failed to serve the proprieties v bieh dignify high military command, l'n ut tho court is of the opinion that *1? le mere statement in the oflicial re-- J*c ort of the facts developed meets tho iuls of discipline, and that the inter;ts of the service will be best sub rved if further proceedings be not ikon." 8H There is more or lesR criticism of n.r eneral Miles in various parts of tho 811 port. Probably the most direct in- UI nnce is the one which stateB that beond the criticism of.ojQlcaca fmrnd ,f" in. -report, saving: 80 "The court flnds that against none T tho officers commanding corps divi- *n ions, brigades and regiments and leir staff officers should a charge of uilty bo brought.
