KILL TIE YANKS."
Rlggin was singing and dancing. and
when he went out said he would be back IN
a few minutes. The next thing witness
heard was that a mob was fighting and
killing up" lis comrades. Witness put on
q civilians hat, tucked IN his shirt collar to
disguise himself, ana found a large mob of
citlzaas and sailors. The mob called out
xiii the YsnksW He got back to the True
Blue. A number Of Cnieans came In and
wanted to know if there were any Yanks in
the place. Witness was in back room
and they did not find him. He returned to
the ship the next day. All the party with
him were sober. This was the last witness
examined and the court adjourned for the
day.
The fatal assault on Turnbull. who re-
ceived twenty-five StabS, was committed In
another part of Valparaiso, and will be
supported by separate testimony with a
strong probability Of showing general or
ganZed conspiracy against the lives Of the
the Baltim0re's crew. Captain Schley said
To The CALL reporter to-day that he had
just heard with the greatest sStonishment
that Davidson, witness examined to-day,
had been sentenced to five years impris0n-
meut by tie Valparaiso court lie was Tot
even aware that a charge had been placed
against Davidson. 1t is significant i'll US
tratiUn of the methods pursued in the Chill

yard to-day. Tne Baltimore has been
scraped and cleaned, but the extent of the
''pitting" has not been ascertained. 1t Is
evidently not serious however

CAN CANCER BE CURED?
Let Sufferers See for Themselves and Act

Let Sufferers See for Themselves and Act
Accordingly.
The medical profession the world over
has always maintained that cancer was
malady which was absolutely incurable.
Caustcs, deadly drugs and the cauterizlng
iron have been administered to the tortured
patient until he has succumbed If not to the
disease itself to the excess of experimental
practice, which has exhausted the vital
forces. And now comes the startling an
nouucement that not only is cancer eradlca-
Bile "without the use of either plaster, or
knife, or any other treatment which entails
pain or suffering" but that the diScOverer
of the remedy is woman. Mrs. DR.. c. A.
Cook. of 224 Post street, VINO. under the
auspices of the Kings Daughters" an
active and benevolent association which
has a worldwide celebrity, has been placed
in possession Of the building owned by the
city. and formerly occupied by 1.-The Old
Peoples Home" Five patients are now
occupying separate, cosy rooms, and all are
said to be doing well, with every prospect Of
an early and complete cure. Those afflicted
will not have to 60 abroad to investigate
methods and ascertain from those under
treatment the measure of success. for Dr..
Cooks success or failure can be verified
right here. Let such as are suffering see
for themselves, draw their own conclusions
and he governed accordingly.
