THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1898. TUBERCULOSIS CAN BE CURED Sensation in the Medical Convention. DR. ). R. MURPHY’S PAPER EXCITES THE PHYSICIANS TO ENTHUSIASM. The Young Chicago Surgeon Declares His D less the overy Infallible Un- Lungs Are Gone Entirely. ne 9.—The feature of the 1 convention of the tion, now in city, a remarkable forenoon sion by Dr. 0 who, although recognized as one LT, 's paper was entirely upon the t of the lungs, but with special se to the discovery by him of a for consumption, or tu losis The discovery was made cure of the lungs. public to-day for the first time and its announcems aroused great enthusi- asm among the assembled physiclans. Dr. Murphy’s new treatment is based upon the fact that the sore spots of the lungs have a natural tendency to heal, the healing process being retarded or prevented by the constant expansion of the tissue in breathing. The treat- ment consists In the introduction of pure nitrogen Into the lur- cavity through a hypode _.ic needle. The ac- tion of the nitrogen compresses the lung and gives an entire rest. After a few weeks the nitrogen is withdrawn and air admitted the lung expanding to its usual dimensions. If it be found that a perfest cure has not been ef- fected the nitrogen can again be used. The treatment of tuberculosis thus by means of compression is not a new theory, but the application is new. Dr. Murphy announced that five pa- | whom he had treated in this manner were cured in four to eight eks. He declares that unless the lung is entirely gone a permanent cure can be effected. On his return to Chi- cago he will use his treatment on 230 consumptive patients in the Cook County Hospital. Columbus, Ohio, was chosen as the next place of meeting.

Mr. to The Call. Bett was also imprisoned in a dungeon | for fifty-six hours, and during that time | was subjected to gross maltreatment. British Consul General Crawford has made a formal protest to his Govern- ment and serious international compli- cations are imminent. The day after the bombardment of San Juan by the ships of Admiral Sampson, General Macias caused an extensive system of mines to be in- stalled in the outer harbor., in antici- pation of a return of the ships and a subsequent bombardment. Although the greatest care and secrecy was ob- served by the Spanish in mining the harbor the details of the work were conveyed to Consul General Hanna and he is now making an extensive report of the operations to the Navy Depart- | ment. | In some way General Macias learned | of this and, as the British consulate | has been guarding American interests | in Porto Rico since the withdrawal of Mr. Hanna, he at once suspected that | Englishmen had conveyed the news to the United States officials. He emptorily summoned thirty British subjects before him and put them through a searching examination, after which several of them were cast Into prison for twenty-four hours. TUpon Secretary Bett General Macias vis- ited most of his wrath. The British official was practically accused of having revealed the mili- | | to a dungeon. There he was kept for fifty-six hours in the face of the pro- tests of Consul-General Crawford. When he was released Mr. Bett was presented with his passports and or- dered out of Porto Rico. He has left for St. Thomas. The military plans of General Macias | were not disclosed to Mr. Hanna by British officials or subjects, | trusted officers attached to General Ma- clas’ staff.

I quite appreciate the good intentiens you have, but were the Queen of Spain to grant one inter- view it would be difficult to refuse granting others. Her Majesty has con- sistently refused to see journaliets in interviews for the press and is deter- mined to maintain that resolution.’ The correspondent thanked the Pre- mier for the kindness he had shown him. The Premier listened with court- ly dignity and, as the door to which he led the correspondent closed, the Prime Minister of Spain remarked: “May you go with God.” SANTIAGO ON THE VERGE OF STARVATION All the Food Seized for the Spanish Army and Navy, and Sailors Are On Half Rations.

But Coolly Declares He Will Not Make Any Clai United CAPE HAYTIEN, June 9.—Presi- dent Heureaux of the Republic of Do- minica belleves he has discovered proof that the steamer Fanita, formerly of the Clyde line, which was used by Senors Jiminez and Morales in their unsuccessful attempt to overthrow the Dominican Government, left the United States with the countenance of the American Government under a mere pretense of taking munitions of war to Cuba. President Heureaux arrived here to- day on the Dominican gunboat Restau- racion, about noon, from Great Inagua, and was interviewed by the corre- spondent of the Associated Press. General Heureaux said he had been | warned that Jiminez was conspirlng} against him by an official whom Jim- inez offered a post. He showed the correspondent notes he had made of the results of his investigation and also | a bundle of incriminating papers taken | from prisoners and from the bodies of | the slain at Monte Cristi. | It was in this connection that he de- | veloped the striking fact of his belief | m Against the States. that the Fanita left the United States with the countenance of the American Government under a mere pretense of sailing for Cuba. 3 President Heureaux coolly. but as if he enjoyed a capital story, told how the revolution was nipped in the bud and how he had summarily executed nearly all the prisoners, reserving those who he thought might be used in obtaining further information about the conspir; acy. He described the flight of Jiminez as “cowardly,” and he sald distinctly that he could make no claim against the United States Government, believing that the Government had been misled, through no fault of its own. More over, he sald, he recognized the fu- tility of a feeble state like his own of making a demand which he could not enforce against so powerful a neighbor. The papers seized, however, seemed to show, he declared, that the leader of the expedition had arranged to notify the Americans by a secret code immed- fately if the movement was successful. They also showed. he continued, that Jiminez visited officials in Washington frequently during the six weeks that elapsed after he left Haytl. CONTROL BY THIS COUNTRY It Would Aid Business in the Philippines. ENGLISHMEN IN FAVOR OF IT THEY CARRY ASSURANCES TO * EMBASSADOR HAY. Men Largely Interested in the De- velopment of the Islands Most Anxious for Uncle Sam to Govern. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. | LONDON, June 1.—Whatever may. be | the policy of the United States toward | the Philippine Islands the English capi- talists whose investments give them the right to speak upon the conditions and needs of the islands are of one mind. Delegations of London men represent- ing some of the most important m-\ terests in the Philippines have called | make representations to his Govern- ment of their desire that the United | States retain permanent possession of the Philippines. They are agreed in the belief that with the guarantee of a stable government the Philippines would become a richer and even more desirable possession than they now are. They are agreed also that the Spanish rule is one which discourages business enterprise and repels capital and that the legitimate profits of their business direct bribes. to Spanish officials. Without liberal investments to secure the favor of the ruling class, these gen- operations can be conducted E:EL"refge r%glme of Spain. The position of the Philippine capitalists is oune which prevents them from making a public ~ declaration of their views. Should the islands remain under Span- make conditions burdensome for busi- ness men who were on record as desir- ing a change and who had made revela- tions about Spanish misrule. They can make known their desires only through secret diplomatic channels as they have done. The president of an important. Philip- pine company having its principal of- fice in London, who presented a state- ment to the Embassador, discussed the question with a representative of the Associated Press, but only on condition that his name be withheld. He gave the usual recital of extortion by the officials who come from Spain to these islands, as they go to Cuba, with the sote purpose of acauiring as much money as possible in the shortest time. He ridiculed the suggestion that the Philippine insurgents could be induced by the Spaniards to form an alliance against the United States. The natives, he declared, would welcome any power which would relleve them from the domination of Spain. He did not, how- ever, seem to place much confidence in the good faith of the revolutionists and incidentally remarked that he had knowledge that more than one native insurrection had been Inspired and pro- moted by Spanish officials for the in- creased revenues which would come to them through the transportation of troops into the island to suppress the {ngurrection. 2 Under proper treatment, the natives, although consisting of several races, would be entirely tractable. The great- est difficulties encountered in managing the islands would come from the relig- jous orders which had been accustomed to squeeze the natives and had accum- ulated much valuable property. The present insurrection was as much an uprising‘against the church as agalnst the government, and was conducted by a secret soclety which had been organ- ized to oppose the priests, a sort of free masonry, which had spread throughout the islands. As an Instance of Spanish Colonial government he sald there was but one road outside of Manila in the island. The entire absence of public works of all sorta was a great check to business enterprises. Careful investigation by the most ef- floient engincers had ved that the ®old deposits of the - pines were | berlain of Spokane, Wash., receiver of the | amgng the richest in the world and un- derconditions favorable to the develop- ment he was sure that the islands would surpass Australia and South Af- rica as a gold country. In conclusion this gentleman said the Amerfcan Government need not be de- terred by fear of the climate from in- vading the Philippines'with unseasoned troops. During a residence of ten years he had known but one epidemic of dis- | ease and that was not a ious one. BONDSMEN TO BE SUED. Shortage of Mon{e;ey's Ex-Tax Col- | lector Is About $22,000.
