CURE FOR CONSUMPTION.
Nitrogen Is introduced Into the Lung
Cavity.

Denver. June 9.-The feature of the
5lst biennial convention of the Ameri-
can Medical association. now in session
In this city, was remarkable address
at the forenoon session to-day by Dr. j.
Il. Murphy of Chicago, who. although
still "A young man. Is recognized as one
of the greatest living surgeons.
DR.. Murphy's paper was entirely upon
the subject of the lungs, but with spe-
cial reference TO the discovery by him
OF a cure for consumption. or tubercu-
loss of the lungs. The discovery was
made public to-day for the first time
and its announcement aroused great en-
thusiasm among the assembled physl-
clans. DIR. Murphy's new treatment is
based upon the fact that the sore spots
in the lungs have a natural tendency TO
the healing process being retarded or
prevented by the movement of the tis-
sues in breathing. The treatment con-
sists Of the introduction of pure nitro
gen into the lung cavity through a hypo-
dermic needle. The action of the nitro
gen congresses the lung and gives II
an entire rest. Afterward the nitrogen
is withdrawn and air admitted. the lung
expanding to it's usual dimensions.
The treatment Of tuberculosis thus by
means of compression Is not new the
ory. but the application is new. DR..
Murphy announced that five patients
whom he treated in this manner were
cured in four To- eight weeks. He de-
clared that unless the ldng is entirely
gone a permanent cure can be effected.
On his return to Chicago he will use his
treatment on 230 consumptive patients

months ago the fortfications were

The Marblehead on Monday. when the

Santiago, shelled the Spanlards, who
fled to the mountains. checkering the

of starvation. All food has been seized

Sampson has officially declared the

That object has been attained He per-
sonally commended Ensign Palmer for
approaching within $50 yards of the
Spanish battery at night and learning
the Spaniards were remounting the
guns.
The American naval commander is
anxious to bring about an exchange of
Lieutenant Hobson and his gallant COM

matter all night and sent word to-day
that he is powerless to act. He referred
the matter to the military governor. and
the latter in turn referred it to Blanco.
A long delay is probable.

the Porter found the torpedoes that the
danger OF last nights affair was fully
realized.
The Porter was steaming two miles
from shore. and well to the eastward
OF MORO Castle. when two torpedoes
were seen floating on the water. En-
sign Giiiis jumped overheard and swan
around them. He tried to unscrew the
war nose, but the torpedo itself turned
too easily I'm the water. He returned
TO the Porter. and Commander Fremont
finally got one of the torpedoes safely
on board. The other sank as he was
getting IL in. Commander Fremont
then brought the torpedo alongside the
New York. 1t was a 4-inch Whitehead
or modern make, and worth about So
500 1t was in perfect condition, and
had any of our ships struck 1t while
IL foated II would have exploded and
perhaps sunk the ship. 1t is possible
that there were two torpedo boats out
last night. although only one is believed
to have appeared anywhere near our
ships. The ability of Spanish torpedo
boat destroyer to get out from the har-
Dor is not regarded as sign that the
Merrimac does not blockade the chan
mel leading into it. Torpedo boat de-
stroyers draw so little water and have
so little beam that it was scarcely ex-
pected the sinking of the Merrimac
would prevent them from coming out.
Two curious pictures of war were pre-
sented yesterday. In the afternoon the
Spanish chief of staff was sitting ami
cably i'm Admiral Simpsons cabin and
saying over a glass of wine. You know
there is nothing personal in this" and
a few hours later his torpedo boat ap-
parently come out and tries to blow the
admiral and his ship out of the water.

eventually abandoned the chase and
reported to the nearest ship Of the
United States fleet. Advices were then
sent to Commodore Watson by the
government tug and he dispatched
ship to Key West.
The commander of the gunboat which
followed the four vessels says he is
satisfied that they were Spanish war
ships. either trying to get into Havana
or lying in wait for transports. The
affair. however. Is involved in doubt.
The British cruiser Talbot left Ha-
vana on Tuesday and she may have
been one of the vessels sighted by the
gunboat.
