tary Journal
IBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATCH.l
LONDON, July 25.-Doctor Godfrey Ham
bleton claims to have discovered method
by which consumption can be prevented
! and even cured in cases where the disease is
not too far advanced. He asserts that he has
cured many patients in a private establish
ment of his own since 1886, and he is now
! anxious for public test. He recently
wrote to Lord Salisbury asking for facilities
and received a chilling reply, to the effect
that the Prime Minister had no power to
afford them. DR.. Hambleton, in letter to
the United Service Gazette, the leading mill
tary newspaper, announces that he has been
forced to the conclusion that it is useless to
endeavor TO obtain an investigation by the
British Government and that he will now
place the facts before another power. The
Gazette vouches for DR.. Hambletonis good
faith, and demands official investigation,
with view to the application of "this
great English discovery" to the British
armv
1t is understood that DR.. Hambleton is
about to approach the United States Gov
ernment on the subject, and if statement
made by the United Service Gazette be only partly
correct, that gentleman deserves more re-
spectful treatment in Washington than he
has received in London. The editor of the
Gazette declares that he has seen the notes
of well established and permanent cures of
consumption, of some of which he has per-
sonal knowledge. "In fact, he says, "such
a mass of practical evidence has been col
lected that we have not to deal with a prima
facie case, but case that has been proved
up to the hilt. The prevention and cure of
consumption is an accomplished fact" The
Gazette, of course, looks upon the question
chiefly from a military point of view, and
here is what it saws of the effects of con-
sumption upon the efficiency of the British
army:
For five years, lssO-s4. there were from
disease 749 admissions into hos
pital, 1881 deaths, 1,0j3 invalids sent home, |
and 1856 finally discharged. The financial |
loss to the country from the deaths and in |
valids discharged amounted. on an estimate |
of Lord Eustace Cecil, at Gl20 per man, to |
ZAP 40. and to that must be added the pay, |
cost OF maintenance and treatment of inva- |
lids in the army, the cost of sending home |
and replacing the invalids from abroad, |
pensions to invalids discharged and cost of |
obtaining, training, maintaining and paying |
men to replace those dead and discharged.
That is, consumption was not only a serious
source of waste in the army, but it also |
caused during those five years financial |
oss that must have amounted to millions.

KILLED BY SHEER FRIGHT.
The Dread of Hydrophobia Works Will
Fatal Effect on a Man.

| The Dread of Hydrophobia Works Will
Fatal Effect on a Man.
NEW YORK, July 25.-Charles Frank,
who was reported on Wednesday to be dy-
ing of hydrophobia at his home in Railway,
died at / o'clock this afternoon Of
blood poisoning and fright. Frank
was 90 years old, and worked as
helper In a blacksmith shop in
Railway. Four weeks ago he was sent on
an errand by his employer, and when pass
ing Frank Riblett's house, at 115 Seminary
street, Mr. Riblett's mongrel dog sprang
over the fence at him and seized his left
hand.
Frank shook the dog off and hurried to
DR.. divers drug store and had the clerk
cauterize the wound. Then he went home.
He told his neighbors about the accident,
and they spmpathized with him and told
him repeatedly how much they hoped he
would not die with hydrophobia. He had
not thought of such q thing until they sug-
gested it. That night the middle finger of
the bitten hand began to swell, and he COM
planned of twitching in the muscles of his
arm and of shooting pains. His wife told
him that salt pork bound on the wound
would surely stop all that, and it did He
went to work the next day.
He held up his swollen finger again and
said: ''Thats my death" A few minutes
later he fell over on the floor. The muscles
en- the left side of his body and in his left
arm and leg twitched and he broke out into
a cold sweat. On Tuesday the sick man
could take no nourIshment. By Wednesday
night the whole left hand was black, and
there were black and blue spots on the left
knee and foot, and here and there on all
the left side of the body. There was no ap-
parent change in the mans condition until
noon to-day, when he made sign that he
was surely going to die. He died one hour

A DIAB0LICAL PLOT.
Attempt Made to Blow Up the Argen-
tine Capitol of COrdova.
PROMINENT PEOPLE IMPLICATED.
The Chief Conspirator Arrested Under q
Bed and COnfesses.
MANY DYNAMITE BOMBS DISCOVERED

NEW YORK, July 25.-Advices from
Rosario, in the State of Cordova, Argentin,
Republic, give particulars of the attempted
revolution-and also an attempt to blow ur
the Capitol-which broke out in the city ot
Cordova. One Fonteynez, representing
himself as a poor carpenter, rented three
rooms on the ground floor of hair dressing
shop, expecting to bring his family on later.
He made various alterations in the three
rooms which he had rented. throwing them
into one continuous apartment, and mean
while taking every precaution to prevent
the other occupants of the house from OBJ
serving his labors. He had two workmen
to help him and worked all day long behind
closed doors. He bought a great deal of
wood, especially long pine timbers.
On the night of the revolution several of
the conspirators established barricade at
this house The police attacked the place
and arrested Fontoynez, VIII ON they found
hidden underneath bed.
Fonteynez Makes a Confession.
After considerable questioning Fonteynez
confessed that he had been engaged in the
construction of a mine which was to end
directly under the Capitol building, and
that he had also been manufacturing ex-
plosives which were to have been used in
blowing up the Governors mansion, the
police headquarters, etc. Fonteynez's con-
fession implicated several prominent peo-
pie Of Cordova, whom, he claimed, per-
suaded him to construct the tunnel by
promising him the Presidency of the De-
partment of Engineers of the State.
Guided by this confession, Captain Este
ben Garcia, of the Tenth Infantry, discov-
cred the mine in the house of Senor Luciano
Lozada del Viso, at which point the work
had been stopped for lack of time to finish
it. Fonteynez says that he had intended to
mine directly to the tower of the Capitol,
but that he made mistake in the direction,
turning somewhat south toward the Cathe-
dral
Captain Garcia states that the mine repre-
sents the work of about ten days, every
thing being fully laid out, with the beams
of solid wood. The odor of powder was
very marked among the first shovelfuls of
earth. Captain Garcia did not venture to
destroy the works at the mouth Of the mine
for fear that there might be explosive ma
terials hidden there which had been placed
in the last moments when the revolutionary
saw itself lost.
A Horrified Populace.
The population Of Cordova was Mortified
by the discovery of this mine, and there
continues to be an apprehension that some
thing terrible may occur. In the house of
the hairdresser, who has been arrested, a
number of jars loaded with dynamite were
found, which were undoubtedly intended to
be placed beneath the walls of the Capitol
and the police building to blow them up.
They have been deposited in the house of
Jose S. Denes, a gunsmith.
Some Orsini bombs of steel, of round
shape, were also found. They are about 25
centimeters in circumference, and some of
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-07-26

them are made of bronze A few signal
bombs we're also discovered. In the apart
ments of Fonteynez there was a drill for
the perforation of stonewalls, together with
hatchets and other implements. There was
also considerable quantity Of carpentered
wood to be used in forming the support of
the mine.
The police have confscated quantity of
revolutionary pamphlets and the red flags
found in various places. A grenade, five
Orsini bombs OF bronze steel and other OBJ
iects which were discovered in the
stronghold have been deposited in the bar
racks of the Tenth Infantry. Some ex
plosive Winchester halls have also been
placed there.
