DENY STORIES OP BAD

Admiralty Officials Say They Have llad N

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 : -

sdeubtful ot its accuracy. we have set on
foot inquiries on the subject. The 0nl_\

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

Cause of S. S. Scotsman
Wreck.

Orrawa, Nov. 24.-Mercantile Enf
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
P
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
P I K
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.
