' Medical Advisers Indignant at the Criticism of Their Course. OME, July 8.—Dr. Mazzoni was | suddenly called out of the sick | chamber by Cardinal Rampolla | this evening and a . hurrled | whispered conversation ensued. This gave rise to all kinds of rumors, but it was soon explained that Cardinal Rampolla had taken upon him- self the duty of acting as mouthpiece for | some of the intimate friends and rela- tives of the Pope, who suggested- the ad- visability of calling certaln other doctors Into consultation. Dr. Mazzoni replied that he had not the least objection to such a consultation, but that the symp- | toms and course of the disease were so clear and well-defined as to leave no doubt as to the diagnosts. He, therefore, was unable to see the necessity for the step proposed. It became known later that the motive | for Dr. Mazzon{'s sudden call by Cardinal Rampolla originated in what Vatican eir- | cles have already baptized the “rebellion | of the Cardinals” against Dr. Lapponi. | 1t appears that some of the Cardinals | complained of the doctor's treatment of the patient, thinking that Dr. Lapponi had not, from the - beginning, detected that the Pope was suffering from an affec- tion of the pleura, thus allowing the dis- ease to assume a gravity which otherwise | perhaps might have been avoided. | Dr. Lapponi, who is supported by Dr. | Mazzoni, indignantly repudiated the idea. | Both of the doctors declared that barely five days had elapsed since the Pope be- came ill and they claimed that three days ago they detected water in the pleura and added that it was not possible, when | the liquid was just gathering, nor was it prudent, considering the age and weak- ness of the Pontiff, to risk a test puncture | before having almost certainly detected the presence of serum.

Unfortunately some elements in the population of Rome, inciuding a few whe are high in the councils of the Vatican, are inclined to cast doubt on the sincerity of the bulletins. This led during the day to a strong movement in favor of calling other physicians.

However, Dr. Mazzoni said that in his opinion there was no immediate need of a consultation and that one would not be held wunless the present conditions changed. Groups of silent, curious persons watched the lights glimmer in the sick chamber till past midnight from the broad plazza outside St. Peter’s, anxious- ly walting for news from within. Now and then distinguished prelates came and inquired regarding the Pope's condition, and they in turn would give to the little groups their varying impressions of hope and fear. The prevailing sentiment of those admitted nearest to the sufferer is that his life is gradually ebbing away, but whether the final agency will be a matter of hours or of days neither the doctors nor his nearest friends can tell. France Will Not Claim Right to High Patronage pARlS, July 8.—It has been stated in dispatches from Rome that . Car- dinal Mathieu would in the event of the death of the Pope claim for France the ancient right to exercise high patron- age (the right to control) at the conclave. An inquiry on the subject at the Foreign Office brought the reply that the report was untrue. No such instructions have been sent to Cardinal Mathieu or to oth- er Cardinals. The presence of Cardinal Mathieu at the Vatican'is due to the fact that he s a member of the papal gov- ernment, which necessitates his attend- ance under the circumstances. His action is quite independent of the French Gov- ernment, which has not contemplated the exercise of any influence over the con- tators of this movement was that Drs. | clave. FOR A POISONER Miscreant Endangersthe Lives of Children at QGrass Valley. GRASS VALLEY, July 8§.—An unknown miscreant who attempted to poison a dog belonging to Alfred Scoble of this city nearly caused the death of Scoble's two little children, Della and Alfred, and the young son of Thomas Collins. The children were playing In a lot near the Scoble home last night, when they sud- denly became violently ill. They were carried to the home of Scoble and a phy- sician was ‘summoned. The little girls and the Collins lad remained unconscious for several hours and for a time their lives were despaired of. The Collins boy was apparently lifeless when the physi- clan afrived and only rallied after most heroic treatment. The children passed from one spasm to another and until a late hour Tuesday night it was not cer- tain that they would recover. Their con- dition indicated strychnine poisoning. It is the belief of the parents that the children handled some poisonous sub- stance left for Scoble’s dog, as some un- known person has attempted to polson the animal several times of late. The children also ate candy. but this was hermless, as at the time of its purchase a fourth child ate some of it and felt no ill effects. The general belief is that the poison adhered to their hands and became attached to the sticky confectionery. Should the dog poisoner be found public ATTORNEY H. E. HIGHTON WITNESS IN HONOLULU CASE Trial in Suit for Disbarment of Ex- Judge Humphreys Attracts Great Interest. HONOLULU, July 8-—The Supreme Court has been occupied for three days in taking testimony in the suit for dls- barment by Attorney General Andrews against ex-Circuit Judge A. S. Humphreys and Attorney Frank E. Thompson. The suit is an outcome of the Sumner case, in which it is alleged the defendants were guilty of unprofessional practices. At- torney Henry E. Highton, who was one of the lawyers in the Sumner case, was the principal witness to-day. The testi- mony of the hearing has developed that there is much bitterness existing between the parties involved in the case. The case is exciting great public interest, -owing to the prominence of the men accused. X . WITHDRAWS ARTILLERY COMPANIES FROM CUBA Secretary of War by His Latest Order Discontinues Post of Cienfuego: WASHINGTON, July 8.—The Secretary of War has ordered the withdrawal from Cuba of four companies of coast artil- lery, the Eighteenth and Twenty-first, now at Clenfuegos, and the Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth, now at Havana. The Eighteenth Company is to take station at Fort Schuyler, N. Y.; the Twenty-first at Mott, N, J., and the Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth at Fort McKinley, Me. This dfscontinues the present post of Cienfuegos, and leaves in Cuba the Sev- enteenth and Nineteenth companies at Santiago and the Twentleth and Twenty. second at Havana, which latter compa- nies will ultimately garrison the two pro- jected coaling stations at Bahla Honda and Guantanamo. isting relations between Church and State. Dr. Cardarelli was a member of the Chamber of Deputies for sixteen years and is now a Senator: that is to say, he fills a position which has necessitated not only taking the oath of allegiance to the King and to support the constitution, but he also has sworn to obey #he Italian laws_ including the Papal gharantees, which regulate the position of the Papacy in regard to the Italian State, thus mak- ing him obnoxious to the Papal party. Dr. Baccelli’s position s even more dif- ficult. In addition to having been a member of the Chamber of Deputies for thirty years he is actually a Minister of the crown of Italy being Minister of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture. Dr. Baccelli occuples such a high position in medical science that, notwithstanding his political principles, he has often, been called to the deathbed of prominent ec- clesiastics and was consulted during the last illness of Pope Plus IX., but then he was not a Minister and had not been one. In spite of these objections, the wishes of the Pecei family were respected and it was announced that Drs. Lapponi and Mazzonl would consult with Dr. Carda- relll to-morrow morning. To-night the Vatican rejected the idea of a consultation with Dr. Baccelli, be- cause of his position is a member of the italian Cabinet, although Dr. Mazzonl preferred him. HISTORY OF LEO'S ILLNESS. The newspapers this evening published a history of the Pope's illness, evidently inspired by Drs. Lapponi and Mazzoni, who wish to defend themselves from the attacks on their diagnosis of the case, but it is interesting as the first docu- ment giving exact data from a medical point of view. The account runs as fol lows: “On the morning of Tuesday, June 30, Pope Leo went for a drive in the Vatican gardens. On returning he declared that he had been greatly benefited by the | Indeed, | | dinals—Katsthaler, fresh air and wished to repeat the drive. The Pope said he felt no need of a medi- cal visit and informed Dr. Lapponf not to go and see him. “During the night of Wednesday, July 1, Pope Leo complained of intestinal disturbance. which he attributed to con~ stipation. Notwithstanding he went into the Vatican gardens and returned to his apartments, again feeling benefited from his drive. On_Thursday he declared he felt w but Dr. Lappon!, wishing to know perso: ally the nature of the disturbance - plained of, spent the night at the V can. During the night the Pope was | sleepless and restless. “On Friday Dr. Lappon! examined the Pope and found pulmonary inflammation in the right thorax. between the inferior and middle lobes. He informed Cardinal Rampolla and began the treatment which he thought right on Saturday. Dur- ing the day the inflammation spread. Dr. Lapponi, ‘worried, desired to have Pope Leo seen by Dr. Mazzoni, who, since the operation of 1809. has visited the Pontiff occasionally, replacing Dr. Lapponi dur- ing his fliness with appendicitis. “On Sunday Dr. Mazzoni went to the Vatican and examined the patient with Dr. Lapponi, confiyming the latter's diagnosis, viz: An inflammatory process in the lung, which was defined in the medical bulletin e, pulmonary hep tion. The original treatment was con- tinued, consisting of supporting the strength of the heart and general condi- tion of the patient. “No noticeable change was uhsor\'-\} until Monday evening. It was then foun that the lowest part of the right thorax, which previously was pervious to respira- tion, had become impervious, affecting the function of the lung. The presence of liquid was suspected. The Pontiff spent an agitated and sleepless night. “On Tuesday many symptoms con- firmed the presence of liquid. Its in- crease was considered to account for the Pope’s general condition growing worse. After a test puncture 800 grammes of blocd and liquid were extracted. The condition of the patient improved imme- diately, reviving hope, slight in some persons and exaggerated in others.
