MAKING oxYTUBERCULINE.
How DIR. Hirschfeldcr's Cure for Consump-
ton IL Produced.

San Francisco, Oct. 26.-Oficlal no.
tice has been received by the Belgian
consul, Leon Guislain, that the min
lister of foreign affairs had trans
mitted n document concerning DR.. Jos.
o. Hirschfelder's consumption cure to
the Royal Academy of Medicine of
Belgium, and that the academy had
commissioned DIR. Vanlair one of Its
titular members, to make an examina-
ton.
The formula from of making oxy-
tuberculine, which 1t is claimed makes
consumption durable, is briefly stated
as follows:
Veal is soaked in water and Its juice
is then expressed, boiled and filtered.
Glycerine, peptone and salt are put In
the liquid, which Is made slightly aka
line with carbonate of soda.
In this liquid the germs of tuber-
cuosls are grown. When they are
fully developed the liquid with the
germs is boiled and filtered. The re-
sultant liquid is tubercuine
This tuberculine is the basis of DR..
Hirschfelder's preparation. Peroxide
of hydrogen Is added to it,and the mix
ture is heated for 100 hours, at the end
of which 1t is oxytuberculine. This Is
clarified with a caustic soda solution
and per cent of borio acid is put in to
keep 1t from decomposition.

1t viii be gratifying news to many to
learn that Mount Vernon is to undergo
restoration to as near its condition at
the time of its occupancy by our first
President as is practicable.
1t was recently discovered that de-
cay had set in in some of the timbers
used in the erection of the mansion
and work has already begun under the
direction of the Mount Vernon Ladies'
association for their replacement by
materials of most lasting quality. At
the same time the house will be given
over to Il. Mellon Rogers of Philadel-
phia, colonial architect Of note, for
restoration as far as Is possible to It's
original beauty of decoration and ar
rangement OF furniture. 1t IL not well
known that in the years that have in
tervened since the death of its illustri-
Gus tenant that the interior beauty of
the house has been sadly marred by
careless and ignorant renovation. on
his examination Mr. Rogers found that
exquisite carved work had been partly
obliterated by numerous coats of
paint, as many as ten being found
on some of the woodwork;
that dellcately tinted walls had
been covered by several layers of wall
paper. In all OF which no intelligent
care had been taken to preserve the
original scheme of decoration. This
eNtraneous matter will be carefully re-
moved and as far as possible original
colorings and decorations be restored
New cornice will be put In place OF
that impaired by time and misusage
The plain columns now supporting the
upper floor will be replaced by colonial
fluted columns; the staircase will be
repaired and blackwalnut effect i'm
parted to it, and the furniture of the
mansion will be rearranged In con-
formity with its placing in Washing
tons time.
The expense of this radical restora-
ton vii be assumed by the respective

THE UNION PACIFIC SALE.
Government Has Withdrawn Its Request for
POstponement.
Receipt of fan Ofrer to sPay the Govern
menrs Fun Claim Ii the
Enu4s.

Washington, Oct. 26.-The indica-
tions are that the government may
yet reconsider its decision to ask a
postponement of the sale OF the Union
Pacific. The reasons for the belief are
that the government has received, or
is hourly expected to receive, addition
al propositions from the reorganiza-
ton committee. This proposition Is
believed to be u very material increase
in the guarantee offer, provided that
the sale Is allowed to proceed on the
date originally fixed on. This increase,
it is reported, will make the commit
tees guarantee equal to the full
amount of the government claim
against the Union Pacific proper or
about fifty-eight million dollars In
that event 1t is altogether probable
that the offer will be accepted and
the sale take place as originally
agreed on.
st. Paul, MINI, oct. 2e.-The mat
ter of the postponement of the sale of
the Union Pacific VIII come up in the
of the motion to postpone was given
by the attorney for the United States.
GOES NOV. 9 ALL RIGHT.
longer any doubt that the reorgani-
cation committee has increased its
guarantee offer for the Union Pacific
road property to the full amount of the
government claim against that road
and that the government has formally
accepted it. The government under
these circumstances will not oppose
the sale of the road on the date origi-
nally fixed. The reorganization COM
mittee has agreed to postponement of
the sale Of the Kansas Pacific.
GOVERNMENT GETS ALL IT'S
CASH.
New York, oct. 2G.--The reorgani-
cation committe of the Union Pacific
today received an acceptance from the
attorney general of the United States
of an offer of an amount equally to
the full claim of the government
against the main line of the Union
Pacific which was some $3S, 600 900.
Therefore the sale of the road will pro-
coed without interference, 1t Is as
sumed.

THE SPANISH REPLY.

Some Time-Its Substance.

Some Time-Its Substance.
Madrid, Oct 26.-Spain refuses to
furnish for publication the text of her
presented by Minister Woodford last
September on the subject of the Cuban
instruction. Mr.. Woodford admits
having received reply but declines to
discuss the matter beyond saying that
the Spanish reply will be transmitted
TO Washington, From other sources
II was learned that the officials OF the
United States legation are engaged to-
day in translating SPANS answer and
1t is reported that the minister would
cable to Washington today the full
text.
Although Spain will not give out the
text OF her reply, 1t Is officially an
nounced that the reply is on the fol-
lowing lines.
1t expresses regret at the fact of the
insurrection In Cuba, (which receives
support from the frequent American
hlibustering expeditions" that other
wise, the rebellion could not possibly
exist. 1t is hoped by granting au-
tonomy to Cuba and Withdrawing
American support that the instruction
will shortly be ended, 1t is further
officially announced that the Spanish
note is marked throughout by an ener-
getic tone.
1t is not thought that the text of the
answer will be published here before
the Senate has had an opportunity to
deliberate upon it; therefore, It is I'M
derstood 1t may not be published in
the United States until after the re-
assembling of Congress. by which time
Spain expects more Favorable condi-
tons in Cuba. 1t is finally announced
in official circles that Spain has deter
mined to take more concerted military
action against the Cuban insurgents.

Havana, Oct. 26.-Considerable anx-
iety is expressed among the Ameri-
can residents of this city as to the
outcome Of the demonstration which
the volunteers are expected to make
on Friday or Saturday next upon the
departure OF Weyler for Spain. In
spite Of orders from Spain and

unteers, who in this matter seem I'M
willing to be controlled by their Of
iicers, to make the generals depart

sary.

THE CURE FOR YELLOW FEVER.
1t is Not "a Preventive, but IA Remedy
How lie Discovered IL.

New York, Oct. 2G.--A dispatch to the
Herald from Bueuos Ayres says:
DIR. Sanarelli, who has been in Uru-
quay for many months studying the
yellow fever problem, and who recent
ly announced the discovery of cura-
tive anti-toxlne for the fever, has been
interviewed as to his work ON Monte
video.
In the first place, Or. Saranelli states
that American physicians are COM
pletely mistaken as to its uses. Ii is
not serum to be used for incubation,
to prevent yellow fever, but serum
which he believes viii cure. DR.. Sara
nelli said that he had inoculated many
dogs, horses and other animals with
a serum which was intended to give
them a mild form of fever, and i'm
mune them. This method he found to
be slow. difficult and varying in its
results, according to the class of anil
NAL on which the experiments We're
made. In order to immunize horse
he found incubation would have to be
made at intervals covering fourteen
months. Then DR.. Saranelli turned
his attention to experiments which re-
suited in the discovery of n curative
serum. He first inoculated certain anil
mails In order to give them yellow
fever, then tried his curative serum
with satisfactory results. Several of
the animals were almost dead with
the genuine yellow fever when the
serum was injected. In each case they
recovered. He believes that the same
results would follow the same treat
ment of persons suffering from the
fever. though as yet he has been un-
able to make practical test on n
man. He states that a human being
will not yield so readily to yellow fever.
Therefore, he may have to make minor
changes in his treatment after testing
IT. The quantity of serum for inocu-
lating animals he finds, varies, and he
expects when he makes a test on n
fever patient to find that the quantity
will again vary. This, he says, can
easily be regulated.

ZELAYA IS QUITE ARBITRARY.


Leon, Nicaragua, Oct. 9.-(Corres-
pondence of the Associated Press.)-
Several hundred prominent citizens of
the best classes are now in the prison
by order of President Zelaya or his
officers. Each Of these prisoners has
been heavily fined or a demand has
been made upon 10 pay large
forced loan to ZelayHs government.
More than one hundred of these citi-
zens are Imprisoned in the peniten-
tlary. The charges against them are
not being in sympathy with Zelaya's
government, having -sided with the
revolutions against his government in
some way, or having refused to pay
or declared inability to pay the
amount of the forced loans demanded.
A large percentage of the principal
stores in the country owned by the
native Nicaraguans have been closed
by President Zelaya's government I'M
der various preteXts,such as inability
or refusal upon the part of the owners
of the stores to pay their share of the
large sum demanded. and because
their owners were suspected of having
given aid to the revolutionists.
Foreign countries are affected by
this arbitrary action on the part of
the government, for a very large part
of the merchandise confiscated was
purchased in the United States or in
Europe on credit and is still unpaid
for. The foreigners in Nicaragua are
specializing as TO what has become of
the enormous sums collected as forced
loans during the past three years, and
they are also making inquiries as to
what has become Of the large sums
collected by the monopoly of tobacco
and liquors and by the more than
double import duties, The enemies of
the government express the opinion
that large sums of money have been
deposited in European banks in order
that certain officials when the up
heaval occurs may be able, II they es-
cape from the country, to live in
Europe in luxury.
