Washington, Ja.ii. 0. Colonel llwiry Shurp of the couimisrfioniiry de- ptirtinunt, who horvod at Camp Thorn- a Htid in l'orto llioo during the war, wiib heforo tho War In veblieating commission today. Ho had been in tho commitwionary department for tifieen yours and said that tho quality of fri-sh beef isstiud at Camp Tuomaa was equal to any ho had ever seen in the army. Covernor Heaver read the witness parts of Surgeon W. II. Daley's report to General Miloa on "embalmed beef" issued at Camp Thomas and asked if ho had noticed tho "mawkish taste" and "disgusting: odor" of tho beef re ferred to. In l'orto Rico, he said, he had inspected one vessel of refrigera tor beef at Arroyo and that tho beef was tho "wonder and admiration" of all the natives and foreign residents, none of whom had overseen such good beef. The native cattle in l'orto Itico he said, "were iniinitely inferior to tho American ref 'iterator beef." The l'orto Ilicans slaughtered bulls, stugs and heifers indiscriminately, classes excluded from our army boef by contract. They also slaughtered superannuated draft cattle whoso Hanks and quarters were invariably full of small sacs and cysts. Ho knew of no chemically preserved meat is sued to the army and ho warmly com mended all the American beef given our troops in Porto ltico. Colonel Sharp thought the loss of the spoiled beef which has been in question fell to the contractors and not to the government. Twentieth Ordered to Start. Washington, Jan. 6. General Summer, commanding at Omaha, has informed the war department that he has received notice that the Scandia, United States transport, will be ready to sail from San Francisco for Manila on January 15 and that he has accord ingly ordered the Twentieth at Leav enworth, Kan., to leave on January 11 for San Francisco. Tho Twentieth infantry will be tho first regiment to start for Manila out of the six regiments of regulars now under orders to proceed to the Philip pine?. Three cf the other regiments will start from New York about Janu ary 17 and will make the trip by way of the Sue, canal. The remaining two regiments will proceed to the Orieut by the Pacific route as soon as transports can bo provided at San Francisco. Diugley's Condition Worne. Washington, Jan. (5. The condi tion of Representative Dingley of Maine, who has been ill for almost a week with pneumonia, has undergone a marked change for the worse and tonight his physicians hold out little if any hope for recovery. Although the lung has improved considerably and the cough lessened the effect of tho pneumonia has 60 weakened the system as to decrease the vitality alarmingly. The poison from the sickness has permeated the whole system which leaves it less able to stand tne strain. Tod;iy the patient appeared to bo uttering extracts from speeches he had made on the tariff question. He was conscious only when aroused. The physicians say there must be a radical change one way of another very soon. THE EVENTS AT ROCK BLUFFS. Mrs. Joseph Hyera Receives Slight Injury by the Discharge of a Revolver. Bock Bluffs, Jan. 7. Mrs. Joseph Byers met with a singular accident the fore part of the week which might have been more serious. She had oc casion to hang ud the coat of her son, Charles, and in doing so she discov ered he had something heavy in his pocket, so she examined the pocket to 6ee what was in it, and found a loaded revolver. Ia replacing it she put it in the wrong pocket which proved to have a hole in it. The re volver dropped through and on to the floor in such a way as to cause it to go off. The bullet passed through the flesh of one of her limbs above the knee, making a flesh wound only. At the present time she is getting along .all right. Two weeks ago a literary society or debating club was organized at the school house John Churchill has had so much to do in his new blacksmith shop that he has concluded to enlarge it and has purchased lumber for that purpose. The ice business has been flourishing for the la st. two weeks at this point. Two-hundred loads of ice or more have been taken out of the river, mostly by farmers. Two families in this neighborhood have the measles. Mr. Joseph Sans has one child sick, and Mr. W. P. Ilutcheson has three sick, but at the present all are doing well. The oyster 6upper lat Saturday night was held at the school house in stead of at the church, and who ever was ringing the school house bell turned it, ovr and the clapper of the bell foil out, and up to the present time it has not been found, so our school teacher calls the scholars in the old fashioned way, by thumping on the window sash or by pounding on the side of the school house.

Manila, Jan. 8. Colonel Potter, the special emissary of General Otis betwoen Manila and Iloilo, arrived this afternoon with dispatches from the latter point. Tho situation when ho lift thero was practically un changed.

Tho banks were shipping treasure to the United States transport Newport and other vessels. The family of the American vieo consul has gone on board tho Newport. Colonel Potter reports that Presi dent McKinley's proclamation had to be typewritten aboard ship, as the printers on shore declined to do the work when the text of the proclama tion was read them, ridiculing the no tion that conciliation was possible. Privates Harry Silvey and Frank Kirkpatrick of the Sixth United States artillery, while guardmg a water boat astern of the Newport, were attacked by the natives of tho crew. Private Silvoy's skull was fractured, fatallj', and Private Kirkpatrick fell over board, but escaped with a flesh wound. The United States gunboat Petrel arrived at Iloilo on Friday and Colonel Potter reports that the United States troops will probably land on Guiamaras island, about midway between tho inl and of Fa nay and the island of negros, where a camp will be established. Captain Harlan McVay, assistant surereon, was buried on Friday. Private William Kasch, Company M, Kansas volunteers, is dead of the smallpox. Endeavor to Soothe the Cubans. SANTIAGO, Jan. 8. Senor Bacardi, the mayor of Santiago, is cabling to Havana each day regarding the situation, explaining that the local excitement growing out cf the pro posal of the United States authorities to concentrate the customs receipts at Havana is not allayed and that the people want provincial and municipal autonomy. It is understood that General Wood, governor of Santiago, with General Castillo, will reach tho United States on or bciore Tuesday next and arrangements have been made for a special cable service to in form the poeple here as to the develop ments after General Wood's arrival in Washington.

The en tire band has been captured and will be put on trial. Black Leg Among Cattle. Ckawfokd, Neb. Jan. 8. Stockmen are greatly exercised at the prevalance of disease in this locality which is taking off some of the best yearlings and two-year-old cattle. It is gener ally considered to be merely the black leg and farmers are treating it with the government vaccine. Wherever used this remedy has proved effectual and a sure preventative. The south ern cattle sbi jped from Georgia by F. F. Jaadt during the winter, contrary to expectations, are doicg exceedingly well and except a few head, which wer5 injured in the cars, none have died. Old l'oople.
