Cleveand's message in transmitting to con-
gress the correspondence In regard to eX-
Consul Waller fully confirms the statements
first and exclusively published in the World
In my Paris cable dispatch of October 10.
The apparently universal impression in
the United States then was that Mr.. Waller
had been prosecuted in Madagascar; had
been unfairly tried by the French court
there and that the United States had the
international right to demand a revision OF
the court proceedings. In the same dis
patch 1t was also first stated that France
would consent to Waler's liberation only
as a matter of courtesy. Ambassador Eustis
now reports that the French government is
ready to lberate Waller Immediately upon
the promise of our government that no Of
Acial claim for indemnity shall be made.
Mr.. Eustis saw Foreign Minister Berthelot
on Wednesday to arrange for the release
OF the prisoner, who doubtless will be at
liberty within month afterward. 1t is ad-
mitted that Waller will be free to prosecute
the French government in his private capac-
fly but in the French courts. The action of
the French government is largely due to M.
Hanotaux, lately the foreign minister, be-
tween whom and Mr.. Eustis there was a
warm personal friendship.

The revelations concerning the develop
ments of the new photography are multiply

pursued by leading members of the profess

taken a negative showing the position of a
bullet in wrist, while another surgeon has
taken photograph showing plainly atrophy
and bone changes caused by the wearing of

operation by Prof. Won Bergman, in which
the diagnosis was made by the Roentgen
methods. The patient fired twenty sinai.
pellets into his hand some time ago and
their position being asceraned by means of
the new photography, they were promptly

recognizing the Importance of the new dis

Importance for surgical purposes to Es-

At Aberdeen a similar operation was per-
formed with equally satisfactory results.
In this case the needle had penetrated the
foot and caused intense suffering, with lit
tie prospect of extraction by ordinary means.
