say tina he engaged the Spanish squa-

constructing the wires under the fire

and intimated in the letter which &C
companied il that she wou like to

gestion of Mrs. Stevens George NJ. Bar

mitted by Barbour to the war depart
ment and he was told that II he landed

Smoking Out an Owl.

City Treasurer Hacheney is one Ct

make some coffee for the refreshment
of himself and the others as they turn
out. Monday evening he laid the fire
in the kitchen stove as usual before go

he opened the stove door to apply
match to the kindling he was startled
by a vicious swapping and the sight Of
some hideous, sooty-looking goblin, with
huge eyes and ears, which caused him
to jump half way across the kitchen
and magine the devil or one of his imps
had taken possession of the stove. On
recovering his equanimity he made an
investigation and found that a gray
owl had made it's way down the Chin
ney, through the stovepipe and draught,
into the stove. Mr.. Hacheney could
hardly believe his senses. land at first
imagined that some one had been play
ing belated April fool trick on him,
but the disclaimers of all the family
and the fact that the owl was literally
covered with SCOT and ashes convinced
him that the bird had come down the

President Mckinley Said to Deem
It Military Necessity.

WASHINGTON. June 9.-The PreSl-
dent has in contemplation, according to
a Senator who was in consultation with
him to-day the submission of special
message to the two Houses of Con-
alton of Hawaii as a military neces-
sary.
According to this Senator, the mes
sage will be delayed for few days to
await action that may be taken by
Speaker Reed and the Committee on
Rules, but it is very likely to go in early
next week.
The purport of the message is a spe-
cial plea for favorable action, calling
attention to the strategic Importance of
the islands, the great advantage that
would accrue in the present war stu
alton through securing them, and
points in the Hawaiian policy already
well known.
The President has not positively an
nounced his purpose to send in the
message, although the Senator who
talked with him says the President is
very favorable to this plan, and it will
likely be adopted, and a strong plea
be made to Congress for immediate
action. The. matter has not been gen.

CURE FOR CONSUMPTION.
DR.. ]. r. Murphy of Chicago Makes
Public His New Treatment.

DENVER. June 9-The feature of
the twenty-first annual convention of
the American Medical Association, now
in session in this city, was a remark
able address at the forenoon session
by Dr. j. r. Murphy of Chicago, who,
although still young man, is recog
niZed as one of the greatest living sur
geons
DR.. Murphy's paper was entirely upon
the subject of the lungs, but with spe-
cial reference to the discovery by him
of cure for consumption, or tuber
culosis of the lungs. The discovery
was made public to-day for the first
time, and its announcement aroused
great enthusiasm among the assembled
physicians.
DR.. Murphy's new treatment is based
upon the fact that the sore spots in
the lungs have a natural tendency to
heal, the healing process being retarded
or prevented by the constant expansion
of the tissue in breathing. The treat
ment consists in the introduction of
pure nitrogen into the lung cavity
through a hypodermic needle. The
action of the nitrogen congresses the
lung, and gives an entire rest. After
few weeks the nitrogen is withdrawn.

to its usual dimensions If it be found
that perfect cure had not been eff
fected, the nitrogen can again be used.
The treatment of tuberculosis thus
by means of compression is not a new
theory. but the application is new. DIR.
Murphy announced that five patients
whom he treated in this manner were
cured in four to eight weeks. He de-
clared that unless the lung is entirely
gone. permanent cure can be eff
fected. On his return to Chicago he
will use his treatment on 2.50 consump-
tive patients in the Cook County Hos
pital

The Move Found Necessary Both for SAM
tary and Moral Reasons.
General Merritt Receives Orders
From Warrington to Rush All
Work Pertaining to the Dis
patching Of the Second Trans
portation Fleet to the Philip
pines.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 9.-General
Merriam, commanding the Department
of California, has finally decided to
abandon Camp Merritt, and place all
the soldiers in camp on the Preside
reservation. This move was found
necessary for sanitary and moral rea-
sons. Camp Merritt is without drain
age, and many saloons have sprung
up all around it. The city's streets
running through it cannot be closed,
and are usually thronged with civilians.
All this can be remedied with the camp
on Government land. The soldiers were
removed to the old racetrack principal
ly because the water supply at the
Preside did not come up to require
ments, but this has been remedied, and
with little alteration the camp
grounds at the Preside can be put in
first-class sanitary condition.
General Merritt received orders from
Washington this morning to rush all
work pertaining to the dispatching of
the second transportation fleet to the
Philippines A detail of Nebraska
troops marched to the water front to-
day and took charge of the steamer
Morgan City. Provisions and ammuni
ton have been ordered on board the

the Zealandia are for her to sail on
Friday, but it does not seem possible
for her to get away on that date. There
has been no date set for the sailing of
the transports that can be relied on as
definite.

Peubla will shortly be made ready to
