DENY STORIES OP BAD BEEF.

Admiralty Officials Say They Have llad N

Complaints sfAmerk~sa Meat.

1,t»\'i»ttN,Nov. 23.-Otiicals ofthe Ad-

miralty have been interviewed regardiii_ the Daily Chronicle’s bad beef assi rtions int-_v sit tiey have not received i single t-tiiiiplwint as to the qu tltty - food furnished on the tiausp -rts. Th chief of the Victualing l)epartme=

said : -

°°I`he tir_~t we heard of the mn t

was through the press, and tho-i sdeubtful ot its accuracy. we have set on foot inquiries on the subject. The 0nl_\ specific iust 'Pa mentioned is that i the Nubia. We bon. ht lance quant- ities ot provisions in N ew York. but we have there responsible agents, wit are not likely to accept rotten mea' meat which has been refust d by other goverumsns.

“It is understcod that the term, ‘em-

balmed beef’ is applied in the United States to canned meats. We have not bought any ol these. Our supplies are confiuid to salt beef and pork, packed in casks, commonly known at sea as 'salt horse,’the same as served in all the navies of the world for years past.

We have not so far heard a word

against this form of food. and judging from the health of the men in the United States Navy during the war with Spain. it must have agreed pretty well with them. It is barely possible that our soldiers, who are not accustom- ed lo silt 1006. are not altogether sa=isBsd with the diet and are, perhaps. inclined nuoflloially to declare it noni for consumption. We have yet to lssfl lllil the glmvisions purchased in the United States are not all as repres- ent d. and t-hsttzh investigating me the allegations. we have no reason to supu se we will discontinue purchasing in the United States when circum- stances demand outside resources."

gin» er Noble, of the Marine depart- ment, who was engaged at Sable Island at the time of the disaster to sleamshiu Sootman, has returned to the capital, and says it is quite untrue that the cap- tain of the Scotsman was misled by the new siren which he (Noble) had just finished erecting. The Scotsman, he

asserts, was so far out of her course it

-was quita impossible to hear any

siren. however powerful. Even grant- ing it had been hsard,it was impossible

Noble says. for any mariner to mistakd it for any other; any capt-iin'a first step

should have been to stop until the sig- nal was clesrly inde. titled. The screech

of the Sable Island siren has no sirni-

larity to sound of one at Cape Banld.

Noble continues-"On questioning

the chief omcer on my arrival at the wreck, he lainlv said the disaster was

simply due to oflicers being about 20 miles ahead-of their reckoning. They

expected to be abreast of the island at 4 a. m., whereas they struck at 2 20 i». m. Further they were grim: tt rut

speed. and didn't hear any s-gust, nor

expect to hear any.

Noble i-ave that due notice was given

of contem lated chan e of si nal at

Belle Isle, and no mariner piling the

Strait-i of Belle Isle could pt ssibly be ignorant ot it. He contradicts the story of lick of provisions on Sable Island.

There was quite sumcient there, he

says. to serve for ten days.
