MonE Observation-Disclosures WALKER AGAIN
on HIS " AY TO NIcARAGUA.-The next arrival from
Honduras, says the New York Times, will no doubt
bring definite information of the landing of Gen.
William Walker, with small party Of adherents
in Honduras, en- route via that isthmus and Guate-
lnala, for his old stamping ground, Nicaragua This
last attempt is evidently the renewal of Walkers
abortive expedition of the schooner Susan, which
left Mobile about two years ago, and got wrecked
in the effort to enter the port of Omoa, compelling
the abandonment of the enterprise.
Gen. Walker arrived at the Island of Ruatan
about the 25th of June last board of the schooner
John Taylor, where he was Joined by about one
hundred men, who had been gathering there for a
month previous, dropping in singly and in small
squads, so as not to attract attention; coming in
fruit vessels and other struggling conveyances. The
arrangements having been completed, the Dew Drop
in command of Capt Dimon, suddenly landed some
fifty men, while steamer, reported to have on
board the balance of the expedition, was lying off
and on, without attempt to land.
On the 9th Of June, the whole party left the
island on board the John Taylor, destination IN
known" vessel, supposed to be the Taylor, was
subsequently seen off Manager Keys, at the mouth
Of Ruatan harbor, bound to the southwark, the
proper course for Omoa or TruXo. The arrival of
an English DIVA: at Ruatan is also announced,
which, under ordinary circumstances would look
after the illibusters but the political excitement
existing in the island, in consequence of the transfer
of the domain to the State of Honduras, and the
need of their services to prevent uprising of the
popnlace against the change will furnish the marines
all the employment they will require, without hunt
ing after Gen. Walker.
Thus, it is probable that the entire force will land
at some secluded spot and before any organized at
tempt can be made to arrest their march, they will
have made their way across Honduras; or the Pacific
vessels will probably receive the fllibusters on
board, and before news of their coming has preccd-
ed them invading forces will have landed at Reale-
jo, prepared to move on Nicaragua. Another sup
position is, that Walker will find IN Guatemala con-
siderable reintorcements which will enable HIM to
pass rapidly through that State unmolested.
A person in the confidence of Gen. Walker, who
recently spent several months in Nicaragua, states
that the tiliibuster chief has proclamation all
prepared to be issued the moment he enters the
country, in which peaceful policy will be announc
ed and an amnesty will be granted for all past Of
fences against the deposed President and his Gov
ernment.
The past is to be wholly forgotten, and, if permit
ted to do so, the returning chief is to naugurate
career Of uneSamped prosperity and progress for
his fayorte Nicaragua.
To elude the vigilance Of the men-of-war station
ed upon the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, it has been
given out that his expedition would attempt the
Colorado branch of the San Juan River. The ap-
pCa1dICS VI dt ttlS vi
however, fully develops the plans which are to be
adopted. ......-
EXTRAORDINARY CAsE.-On Friday, June 10th,
we made = post mortem examination upon the body
of Mr. John Kelly, who resided, at the time of his
death, in the town Of Black Brook.
In June, in 1912, he was accidentally shot at
Chatham Four Corners a place on the Western
Road, about twenty five miles East Of Albany. The
bullet, passing through three boards before striking
him, entered lis right shoulder, passed towards the
heart, and lodged under the collar bone near where
it is united to the breast BONE. This is substantial
ted by the amount of disease found at this place,
and the further fact that the surgeon passed his
probe in about four or five inches before reaching
the ball. We found one of the veins closed and the
artery ossifed at this place.
We then examined the heart, and found it to re-
semble stomach much as heart. The right
side, especially, very much charged and seemed
to be undergoing fatty degeneration. ,-.
While examining the heart, we found large
lump in the lower part of it. We introduced our
finger into the right cavity of the heart and found
the lump to be in the substance of that organ; we
then cut from the outside down on to the lump and
found it to be leaden bullet.
Now, the question arises, how long has the ball
been in that mans heart? Fourteen years ago he
was very dangerously i'll, and was attended BY DR..
Terry, who did not expect his recovery. His diff
Guilty at that time was inflammation OF the lungs and
most extraordinary disturbance Of the hearts ac-
ton Since that illness his heart difficulty has con-
tinued TO increase graduallyat times its beatings
could be observed ten or fifteen feet distant. Our
theory is that this ball remained in the vein where
it was lodged until fourteen years ago. when it pass
ed into larger vein, and thence into the heart and
there irritating that delicate organ by its unnatural
presence, caused the difficulty then, for the first
time, observed.
Ten days before his death he took a severe cold,
resulting in an inflammation of the lungs, and ag
gravaton of all the symptoms of disease Of the heart
which continued unabated until the messenger of
death relieved him of his earthly sufferngs
