made to him by E. De la Graniaya d physi-
clan OF Boston, who accompanied the Medi-
cal Commission recently sent to Valencia
by the Spanish Government to investigate
the cholera epidemic, and to report upon
the efficacy of the incubation practiced by
DR.. Ferran. The report says The per-
sons treated by Ferran were found to have
been inoculated in both arms, but presented
no marks or scars, other than those made
by the hypodermic syringes, and now
almost obliterated. Some of them stated
that they had had a little headache and
all severe pains in the arms. lasting about
twenty-four hours after the incubation
One of the most remarkable things is that
none had either vomiting or diarrhea, ex-
cepting small children, who, according to
one Of Ferran's assistants, had both The
statistics presented by Ferran cannot be

from prejudice. The only thing to be
said in favor of Ferrans method is that
those who have undergone il have lost all
fear of the disease. Ferran asserts that the
inoculated do not have any immunity un-
til five days after incubation, but does not
know for how many days after that they
are protected. The inocuiated, however,
do not appear to acquire much immunity,
because they are attacked by cholera just
like those not inoculated. The Commission
has concluded that the inoculatons are in
offensive, and recommend that Ferran be
allowed TO continue his experiments. The
opposition to the present Government Of
Spain has been making political capital out
of the suspension of NEGOTIATIONS pending
the investigation, thus allowing Ferran and
his associates oppose as martyrs in the cause

The Penitentiary Revolt in New York.
NEW YORK. July 2lst.-The particulars
of the revolt in the Kings County Peniten-
tiary show a remarkable state OF affairs
there on Friday Morning Eighty long
term men employed in the shops held up
their hands as a signal that they desired to
quit work, and go convicts looked on
while their comrades marched into the
yard with their keepers at their head and
rear. They told Warden Green they must
have hash for breakfast, and they were at
once locked up in adjoining cells. -Four Of
the most dangerous convicts were placed
in the black cells The iong-term men
cheered. howled, sang and cursed, and the
irlghtiul refrain was caught up and in
creased in volume by the short-telm -
men in the west wing The female CON
Yicts added their shrill voices to the din.
which became simply indescriba5le The
convictS took their tin drinking cups and
ratified them against the bars of the cell
doors threw their lamp chimnevs against
the walls and into the corridors, and tore
their bed-b0arfls loose and beat them against
the doors. Hundreds of convicts welded
these boards III unison, while the screams
Of the women were ear-splittiHg. The riot
continued through FRIDAY night and Satur-
day. Sunday afternoon Thomas Tivey. alias
Lynch. alias McGuce u graduate from the
House Of Refuge, under sentence of five
years for burglary and grand larceny, was
heard telling fellow convict that on Mon
day morning all hands would go to work,
and, at a signal, the c0nvicts would attack
the keepers, disarm them, ami assume con-
troll of the prison Warden Green went to
Tivey's cell TO demonstrate with him, but
Tivey cursed him. howled like a demon
and threatened to kill him. The Warden
then told him be would cOwhide him.
When the cOwhide was mentioned all the
convictS set up a yell of defiance. The War
den took seven keepers with him into the
corridor occupied by Tivey, where there
were thirty-nine cOnvicts in tier of cells
in one of which Tivey was locked UP. If
Tivey's cell was unlocked his thirty-nine
companions could jump into the corridor
and make q simultaneous attack on the
keepers, who were armed with clubs only.
while the Warden carried q pistol and is
known as dead shot The convicts stood
against the cell doors bowling like mad
men, each being armed with a cot stick, a
piece of WOOD eighteen inches long and
quite thick, and with these they threatened
10 dash the keepers brains out As
soon as the cells were unlocked, the
Warden took his stand in front of
Tivey'S cell. Tiyey stood looking through
the bars, carrying in his right hand his cot
stick. Pointing his revolver at Tivey, the
Warden said: Drop that stick or I'll put
bullet through your wrist-drop it." The
stick fell 10 the floor. The Warden threat
ened to shoot the first convict that left his
cell, and then ordered, Spring the bar"
Tiyey sprang the bar Of his door, and the
doors of all cells stood open. Then Tivev
was taken out, not a convict showing his
head from his cell door. Tivey begged like
an abject coward before the lash touched
him, while his companion promised to kill
the Warden if Tivey were touched. THE
first blow of the lash. said Warden Greene,
" gave the hash question a black eye, and
when Tivey was let loose you could have
heard a mouse run across the prison.
"Conyicts, said Warden Greene, as the
last of the gang was locked up are a hard
lot; how hard only those who are con-
tinually with them can tell. If a man does
them kindness they think lie is afraid Of
them If a woman does them a favor they
think she is mashed on them"
He went TO bed last night for the first
time since Thursday night. The papers
are raising the question as to whether the
general treatment of prisoners at the
Kings county Penitentiary is not different
from other prisons, that such scenes as the
above can occur.
