growth. he decided upon complete ex-
cision. In this he was assisted by
Doctors Boyd, Porter and Huntington.

This Is the third operation OF tho

patient will be nursed back to strength
under similar diet. II DR.. Brigham's

tended Injury to the Maine.

Washington. Feb.26-Secretary Sher-
man spent some time at the capital to-
day. He talked freely with senators
concerning the situation in Havana in

reached the state department for the
past Few days. but stated that the sit
uation was being considered with the
view OF having policy developed in
case the naval court now making an
inquiry into the disaster should find
that 1t was not the result of an acct
dent. To this he added the statement
that he thought an indemnity would
certainly be demanded, and that IL n
should be. good round sum would he
asked. What that sum should he
would, however, depend largely upon
circumstances.
The secretary did not think the span-
ish authorities had been aware of the
intentions of any one who may have
caused the explosion, but he advanced
the opinion that, whether they were or
not. the Spanish government would he
liable for indemnity II 1t was shown
that any Spaniard had caused 1t.
