pots on an uprising in Salvador, and
has cabled to the diet for information
All his advices indicate that Salvador
is e.joying peace and prosperity, and
this, he says, is equally true of Hon

Mr.. Corea looks hopefully to the dis
appearance of all irritation between MIC
aragua and Costa Rica as II result of
the. recGt decision as to the boundary
made by Gen. Alexander, the American
engineer appointed by President Cleve-
land as umpire. The decision has
brought ,ut demonstrations of reJoic-
ing throughout Nicaragua, but Mr.. Co
rea says these are not rejoicings over
victory, ,ut of satisfaction that the
old source Of trouble has been finally
settled. Tie decision of Gen. Alex

this confirms Nicaragua territorial pos

The revolution in Guatemala is the
only one of those recently reported In
Central America which is occasionine
serious apprehension. The Guatemala
army comprises 10000 men, including
the reserves, and han u large equipment
of ordnance. The revolutionists are
said to have forty pieces of field artil-
lery. More serious engagements than
those which often mark these Central
American uprisings, Therefore, are prob
able.
The last official advicts received here
showed that the reyolutonists held the
second city of importance in the coun
try where it was expected the govern
ment forces would engage them.

flesh. Local physicians were consult
ed, but could do nothing for her. On
the advice of Dys. Hurlbut and Shavoir,
"f Stamford, she was taken to New
York city and placed in private sani-
tarium. Here many experiments were
made in the attempt to soften the girls
flesh, which is now as hard e. wood.
The hardest pinch makes no impr' ion
on it and is not felt.
In the presence of twenty leading
scientific inve5tipa tors, New York ply

physicians.
Little Anpie remains sunny and

creeping hardness reaches the heart or
if calcareous deposits form in the blood
her life will! be very short. So little is
known of the disease that treatment Of
it must be entirely experimental, and
the chances of arresting its progress
are not good.
