A New Surgical rn.,,nu.r,

An instrument which, as the name de-
Eotes. is intended for the arrest of
bleeding in surgical operations, has been
perfected by Lawson TAFT. of London.
A platinum wire, arranged to carry O.
current of electricity, is inclosed in the
blades of pair of steel forceps or any
other requisite instrument, the wire be-
ing insulated by bed of burnt pipe
clay. current of suitable voltage is
turned on, the artery seized and COM
pressed and in few seconds the tissues
and arterial walls are so agglutinatcd
that the passage of blood is rendered
impossible. The temperature employed
is about $50 degrees Fahrenheit, SD that
1t will be seen that the principle is fun
damentally different from that of cleo
trical cauterizing instruments. 1t is
stated that by Mr.. Tait's instrument
the necessity Of ligature is removed,
and a new and completely effective
method is placed in the hands of the
surgeon for the treatment of surface
oozing.

crto the popular demonstrations have

But, while the governmnet is only will.
ling to admit that the riots have been
instigated by the agents of the Cuban
revoiutionists. it is generally admitted
that the roots of the trouble are much
deeper. and that il is being nourished
by the natural feeling of alarm and
dismay at the apparent utter inability
of the government to cope with the
situation in Cuba. That the large
'panish army in Cuba must be still
further and heavily reinforced is look
ed upon here as being a confession OF
weakness upon the part of the admins
tration and as an admission of the
growing strength of the Cubans.
In addition. many letters have been

ing with the army in Cuba, and they
tell such terrible tales of sickness, pri-
walton, incompetency and misnanage-
mcnt, TO say nothing of lack of pay.
that dangerous feeling against the
government has arisen and is gaining
strength day by day. Under the cir
cumstances the agents OF the Cubans
do not have much difficulty in carrying
out their plan of causing popular out
breaks. They steadily fan the flames
of discomfort by pointing to the APP
parently unnecessary hardships which
the Spanish troops in Cuba are COM
PEELED to endure.
The Spanish officials. as usual. are
blaming the United States for the trou-
bles in this country. basing the asser-
tions made on the fact that among the
leaders of the recent riots was DR. Ber-
nado Toledo, SAID to. be an American
citizen. whose brother is in command
OF II force of Cuban insurgents. 1t is
c!ai ed that money, arms and ammu-
milton were served out to the rioters

"A search of the building is said to have
