rREPHINING TOR AP0rLExY.
Patient On tho Road to Recovery After an
 Operation.

Operation.
 New York, Dec. 27.-One of the most notable surgical operations performed recently, and one which may furnish a precedent for the treatment of apoplec- tic cases in which the pressure of a clot of blood formed on the brain can be localized, took place at the New York Post Graduate hospital eleven days ago. The operation was that of trephining, the cutting of hole In the skull of the patient through which the effused blood resulting from a stroke of apoplexy was allowed to escape.
 The patient was Henri Chevalier, a French dressmaker, fifty-eight years old. M. Chevalier is a man of good physique, not unusually plethoric, and at the time of his apoplectic stroke, which occurred at 1;15 p. m. on Decem- Der Is, was apparently In good general health
 As the attack had rendered M. Che valier almost totally unconscious by paralyzing the nerve centers, the ef- fused blood having penetrated to all parts of the brain, very little ether had to be used, Some thirty seconds after the brain pressure which was killing the patient had been removed, his pulse and respiration, which had almost stop ped, began to approach their normal aC- ton. From that time he has steadily improved. Not the slightest setback has occurred to reflect discredit on the judgment used in performing the oper- ation, and the surgeon who carried it through looks for the patients recov- erV

MOST PROFOUND DISTRESS
IT PREVAILS AMONG MANY THOU
 SANDS IN CUBA.

The Appeal Issued from the Department
 of State at Washlnston-Five Thousand
 Dollars Sent in Response by Charitably
 Disposed Persons-To be Remitted to
 General Lee by Telegraph.
 Washington, Dec. 27-The most pro- found distress prevails among many thousands of people in Cuba. Stava- tion not only impends, but is also an actual fact. The president has been in formed of the facts from sources whose credibility cannot be doubted. He has gone to the length of his constitutional powers in calling the state of affairs to the attention of the American people. The state department has used all of its authority to mitigate the conditions and the letter to the public sent out by Secretary Sherman pointed out the way for relief.
 To-day $5,000 was received by Assist ant Secretary Day from certain char itably disposed persons whose names are not disclosed and this sum will be remitted by telegraph tomorrow to Consul General Lee for disbursement among the more pressing cases. It is hoped by the department of state that the American people will come to the relief promptly with subscriptions of money, clothing and supplies.
 The machinery for distribution has been provided by the state department and Consul General Lee has undertaken to give personal attention to the allevia- tion of distress by the distribution of the gifts of the American people. The Ward line of steamers plying between New York and Havana, it is said, has undertaken to forward any contribu- tions of goods to General Lee at Ha- vana and it is believed that the Ameri- can railroads will do their part by car rying the goods free to the seaboard.
 General Lee tonight cabled the state department just what is wanting at this juncture and his list is as follows: Summer clothing, second hand or other- wise, particularly for women and chil- dren; medicines for levers, including a large proportion of quinine; hard bread cornmeal, bacon, rice, lard, potatoes beans, peas, salt fish, principally cod fish any canned goods, and especially condensed milk for the starving chil- dren. Money will also be useful to se- cure nurses, medicines and for%many other purposes.

CLEFT BRLTAIN DECLINES.
Will Not Eater Into an Agreement to Stor
 Scaling.

London, Dec. 27.-Lord Salisbury, the premier, has written to the United
 States ambassador, in response to Americas latest proposal in the Der ing Sea controversy her request that Great Britain should enter into an
 agreement with the United States, Rus sia and Japan to stop sealing. Great Britain declines to enter into such an agreement. Lord Salisbury says. in substance, that he has communicated with the Canadian government, which has the foremost interest in the sealing question, and that Canada is unwilling
 to become a party to such an arrange ment as is proposed by the United States. Therefore, England, continues Lord Salisbury, whose interest is but slight, would not be justified in acced- ing to the proposal. His answer en- phasizes the policy of England not to intervene in Canada's foreign relations.

must take the rough and thorny roads

famed in many states for its beauty and

the animals remains near those of her
husband and only a few feet from the
last resting place of the man who had
