New IoRK, Nov. 2O.-At the trial in
the United States district court Of
Captain Dickman and Colonel Nunez,
accused of leading the Laurada filibus-
tcring expedition, James Quinn, who
was closely accompanied by n stout
body guard and a Pinkerton detective,
testified that he sailed with the Lau-
rada May 0 last, from New York, on
arrangements made with General Ruiz.

last week, as the man he saw at tho
Cuban junta. lie described the land

ington rifles and ammunition and
sworc to seeing the two defendants on
the Laurada before it sailed from New

Quinn's testimony did not proclaim
him n Spanish spy except by inference.
But the inference was freely drawn by
the accused men,, and other Cubans,
II of whom said: This man left the
Cuban lines aud entered those of tho
Spanish forces. Other men who have

going to Cuba. Who gave the Spanish
consul the information by means OF
which he was enabled to bring about
this trial? We, supporters OF free

ARE NOT CONVINCED
Physicians Who Oppose the Use Of
Anti-Toxin.
TO the Editor Of The Evening Star:


Apropos of your reporters Interesting in
terview with DR.. S. S. Adams on the Use
OF Antf-toxin, which was printed in last
Mondays Star, your readers may be inter-
ested IN a few brief extracts from recently
published views of distinguished foreign
authorities on the same subject One of
the most eminent specialists and successful
practitioners in diseases of the throat is
Dr.. Lennox Browne of London, whose ar
ticle reviewing the report on the use of
aEti-toXin in the hospitals of the mctropol.-
tan asy!ums board was published in the
Contemporary Review for last July One of
his most important points is the untrust-
wcrthiress Of medical statistics, which he
illustrates by a statement made in report
from the provincial governments of Crotia
and Slavonia to the effect that those cases
which were brought to the authorities too
late-for example, on the six III, seventh or
eighth day of the disease or later-wern
not treated by the serum. as II was then
useless, and would have spollt the statis-
tics.' But. OF course. no true comparison of
the anti-toxfn method with methods in
which ant-toxin Is not used can be made
unless the cases in all stages are included.
for when serum Is not used in those mort
bund or far-advanced cases the deaths arc
included In the non-Serum cases, and the
mortality in that class is increased
Another important point brought out by
DIR. Browne is the inclusion Of cases as
cured within a few days of the com
mencement of the treatment, although il
is well known that diphtheria often kills
by it's sequelae long after the acute stage
is passed. Commenting on a reported NOR
tality of only two out of forty-three cases
treated with antiItoxin at the Northwest
ern Fever Hospital, which wonderful result
of 4.6 per cent was published IN the Lancet
and British Medical Journal Of FEBRUARY =,
1895, as the lowest mortality on record. =
Dr. Browne says,
Nothing could be more miseadin:, for
this report was applied for after little more
than three weeks of official trial of the
remedy at this hospital and more than one
of the cases had been admitted only day
or two previously.
within two days of the publication: of
these figures this mortality of 4.6 became
over per cent; three weeks later it was
10 per cent. and at the end Of four mont hs
on 100 cases, in which these forty-1hree
were included, the mortality was twenty
tained in this hospital for The two previous
years, under older methods of ;reatmen. en-
nearly--2,: $40 cases. At the end OF the wear
the mortality on 1863 cases treated with
serum at this hospital exceeded thirty-1wo
per hundred.
No allusicn would have been made to
these circumstances had a corrected record
OF these premature reports been offered:
but as they stand they have gone fo-.h to
the world, carrying with them I.lu;.if an
justifiable encouragement. which ii aa,,ears
a plain duty to modify"

that the whole credit for this decrease in

conceded. 1t is true that there has been q
reduction on the total death rate from diph-

the use Of the anti-toxin serum is by no
means proved, and is, in fact, in direct con-
tradiction of the truth. We have account
ed for three-fifths Of the cases treated with
anti-toxfn. In the remaining two-fifths
!,847 in number. no anti-toxin was admin
1stered. and they were treated by methods
which are carefully stated in the report to
be exactly the same as those in vogue be-
lore the introduction of serum-therapy. The
deaths In this series were 1S1, giving q NOR
taiity OF less than 131e per cent, and 1t is
this reduction in the mortality of the nom

for the per cent reduction in the NOR

Morgan & Wright stepped in to fill
great public want. They furnished
tire that could be easily I ken from
the rim to be repaired. That was the
principle rcquiremt, in those days, be-
sides the usual requirements Of speed,
durability and comfort.
That was several years ago. Single
tube tires had been pushed in Europe,
and were falling, and the same effort
was being started in this country.
The Morgan & Wright double-tube
tire quickly proved its superiority
with the result stated above. The
quick-repair inner tube, which is this
year standard feature Of all Of this
firms tires, has made the position of
double-tube tires practically invlnci-
bic, by making 1t quick and easy for
the riders to secure, at the roadside, a
permanent repair--a thing admit
tedly impossible in the majority OF
single-tube accidents.

Turks Still Rioting.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Aug. 3l.-Roiting
was renewed in the Galata quarter OF
this city Saturday. A sharp fusilade
took place between the troops and the
Armenian rioters. 1t lasted only a
few minutes, however, and a stampede
OF the revolutlonists followed.
Just before the departure OF the
leaders Of the invasion OF the Otto
man bank on Sir Edgar Vincent's
yacht, latter they had negotiated with
the Turkish officials and surrendered
upon condition that they should be al
lowed to leave the country, they an
nounced to the dragomans of the diff
ferent embassies that they Intended
to continue the agitation until the
rights of the Armenians, should be re-
cognized by the representatives OF the
foreign powers.
The ambassadors Of the foreign pow
ers held conference and sent a strong
joint appeal asking the sultan to sup
press the disorders without delay. No
reply has been received from the sub
lime porte as yet.
1T will be remembered that several
days before the raid upon the Otto
man bank threatening letters of
similar character were received by
the representatives of the powers, but
the foreign diplomats stationed in
Constantinople paid no attention to
these warnings.
Already several claims for damages
TO property have been received at the
British embassy, the property de-
stryed being owned by British sub
jects.

persons who perished in the recent

were buried in the Chicklo ceme-
terry alone.

There can be no question That one
of the most important parts, OF BIZ
cycle, is the tire. II has to bear the
brunt of the work, is constantly COM
inV in contact with destroying cle-

care from the rider. The Importance
of the work IL has to do was carly rec

ever. and they have given much at
tcntion to this Important adjunct, of
the wheel
There are today, perhaps, thirty
different styles of bicycle tires on the
market, all of which vary in detail.
As to their various merits, theories
are of little value; actual experience
is the only way to determine this
question. Unlers an article gives sat

which time double-tube and single.
tube tires have been marketed, at
least three-fourths Of all the riders In

morrow, amounting to $4,000 and
