able work accomplished by the greatest

Some people think that many of the
cures performed by this man at City hall
are nothing short of miracles. But, how
ever astonishing some of these cures are,
we are assured that he is making still
more marvellous cures at his private
offices at Hotel Chadwick, for there he
has more time to enter into the details
of difficult cases. Derr Fritz and his
staff have already treated great num-

Can CERVERA GET OUT?
Naval Authorities Believe IL Is I'm.
possible.

Washington, May 26.-Naval officers are
now turning their attention to inquiries
whether it is possible for Admiral
Cerysra to get out of Santiago harbor.
They hold that this manoeuvre Is impos-
sible and that being the case the career Of
the Spanish admiral is at an end, so far
as it constitutes a menace against our
ships. I he British comment that Ad-
miral Hornby in 1866 escaped with his
entire f1set from a hRrbor under similar
conditions, and that Admiral Cervera
should be able to make his escape when
he gets ready to do SO, is not accepted.
The naval view here is just the contrary.
escaped from an open bay, while Admiral
Cervera must come through a narrow
channel about three hundred feet wide on
which the American searchlights will
play constantly. 1t is asserted that this
is not mere. opinion, but that naval
and Tortugas few months ago which
furnish positive demonstration that
Admiral Cevera cannot make an exit
without being discovered.
II Ceryera sent out bis torpedo boats as
scouts they wo uld be detected before they
could do damage and destroyed by the
small guns of such cruisers as the Mont
gomery. The American ships would have
the advantage of concentrating their en-.
tire fire upon one small passage. A
night battle is quite unusual In naval
annals, but it has occurred. The Constel.
lation fought the Revenge at night, the
engagement continuing for six hours in
the darkness, during which time the
mainmast of the Constellation was
carried away and the ship crippled 1t
is believed that if Admiral Cervsra at
tempts to escape he will choose the night
for this movement
On the other hand naval officials are
discussing the means the American COM
mander may adopt to make exit impos-
sible.
In the blockade of Charleston, barges
full of stones were sunk at the channel
entrance, cutting off ingress and egress.
A few old hulks would serve the same
purpose in this case.
There is difficulty in getting such craft
and the sinking of the derelict in the
proper point in the channel would be at
tended with great danger. 1t must be
towed to a position, subjecting those in
charge to the danger of mines and tor
pedoes There is also the guns from Nor.
70 Castle to be guarded against. 1t is
understood, however, that MORO Castle
has no searchlights so that night opera
ton of this character could be executed
without the Spaniards being made aware
of it. Taking everything into account,
naval officers feel that Admiral Cervera
committed fatal blunder in being
trapped at Santiago and there is no fear
the trap will prove inadequate to hold
bin.

BAD FOR SHIPPING

Boston, May 26.-,The eastsrly 4 storm
and dense fog which have prevailed along
the New England coast tor the past few
days have been serious hindrances to
shipping of the port. Sailing vessels
naturally felt the effects of the storm
more than steam craft, although several
tows have teen stalled here waiting for a
favorable opportunity to put to sea- From
the forecast sent out by the weather
officials in the Federal building, a heavy
gale is looked for tomorrow. There were
several ocean steamers sighted below to-
day and nearly all of them had to be
cautioned to slacken their speed while ap
preaching the dangerous mine fields.
