herself voluntarily as an inmate of the
ganitarlum, but she refused to do that.
About a month later she again urged
her brother TO send her TO the country
and he told her that IL would be better
for her to 20 to the sanitarium, that ne
would pay her board there, ana as soon
as she regained her health she could leave
the place and resume her career as an act
ress Under these circumstances she went
to the sanitarium, but upon her arrival
there she was confronted with a commit
ment. issued by Judge Slower, OF the SUI
creme Court. committing her to the instr
tuition for one year.
She declares that she is not an lnebriate
nor Is she incapable Of conducting herself
and her affairs properly, and that she IS
NOT dangerous to herself or others by rea-
son of habits Of periodical intoxication, as
alleged in the papers upon which she was
confined In the institution. She states that
she has never been arrested for intoXica-
ton. and that she has now opportunities
to secure engagements for the coming the
atrical season.
She declares that she was deprived of
her constitutional right Of being confront
cd with her accusers, that she did not have
an opuortunity TO establish her innocence
OF the charge Of inebriety, at the time the
commitment was issued, and that she was
not brought before the judge, or informed
az any charge that was made against her.
She. therefore, asks for her discharge
from the institution on the ground that
her commitment for one year was unlaw-
full.

Elizabeth s. Ordway, better known TO
the public as Bettina Girard, Is again anx-
ious to regain her former position in life.
She has tired of her confinement in St.
Saviour's Sanitarum a Inwood-on-the-
Hudson, and says that her Incarceration
there was brought about through a mis-
representation of facts, and that her com
rnitment to the institution for one year
was unwarranted and not jutihed by the
circumstances, inasmuch as she did not
have an opportunity TO be heard in her
own behalf.
Through her counsel, A. II. Hummel, she
obtained from Judge McAdam in the Su-
preme Court yesterday a writ Of habeas
corpus directed 20 the superioress of the

Tuesday next and show cause why she
should not be released.

A BRILLIANT PUBLIC CAREER.

The appointment of Hon. John Hay as
secretary of state will round out a public
career of singular brilliancy and usefulness
The beginning of the civil war found Mr..
Hay young lawyer of Springfield. ILL.,.
where he had just been admitted to the bar.
and where he had gained the friendship of
Abraham Lincoln When Mr.. Lincoln went
to Washington to assume the Office of Pres
ident Mr.. Hay accompanied him as a pri-
vate secretary and continued in that ca
pacity till Mr.. Lincoln's death, enjoying the
Presidents closest confidence. part of
this period was spent in the military serv-
ice. in which he was appointed with the
rank of major, and was successfully bre-
veted lieutenant colonel and colonel. Four
years of this kind of service and constant
association with the leading men of the Pc
Rod developed Colonel Hays fine powers
and added to his brilliant collegiate and le-
gal attachments, and when, in 1866, he was
appointed first secretary of the United
ed he would have a diplomatic career. He
remained in Paris two years, serving good
part of the time as acting minister and was
then transferred to Vienna, where he served
three years in a similar capacity, when he
was appointed secretary of the legation at
Madrid. In each of these capitals Colonel
Hay was in close touch with the diplomat
lists of that period and rendered valuable
service to the government. Returning to
the United States in 1870 he became an edi-
torial writer on the New York Tribune, and
afterwards cditor-in-chief of the paper dur
ing the absence of Hon. Whitelaw Reid in
Europe. During the last two years he was
assistant secretary of state, where his dip
lomatic experience was found very useful,
and his appointment as ambassador to
Great Britain was one of the first made by

tablished by many able predecessors for
diplomatic ability and literary culture, and
has enlarged the scope of his already wide
experience. Colonel Hay will take the

TRIUMPHs OF SURGERY.
Army Surgeons Have Proved Them
selves Wonderfully Efficient.
New York Letter in Philadelphia Press.

New York Letter in Philadelphia Press.
Although public indignation was almost
at white heat when the reports of the man.
ner in which the sick and wounded soldiers
were transported to the north were read
yet there is the highest praise for the man
ner in which the army surgeons met their
dreadful responsibilities, hampered as they
were by a department which was inefficient
and which seems to have been at times
badly ratified.
1t is only necessary to go through the
hospitals in this city where the sick and
wounded now lie to be inspired with a sense
of pride that American surgery has been
able to accomplish such marvellous things.
In st. Peters and the Long Island Hospi-
tails which are in Brooklyn; in the hospi-
tai on Governors island, and in Bellevue
there lie soldiers with cruel wounds, as well
as soldiers racked with the insidious poison
that Cuban fever carries into the system
Some of the wounds are unlike anything
recorded in the history of gunShot wounds
1t is popularity OF almost all the
wounded that they were shot between the
are a number of cases of the fracture of the
thigh, the. upper bone of the leg. and the
rupture of one more arteries. good
many of the Mauser bullets found their way
into the groin or parts near by
In almost all these cases the hopes are
good for recovery, and yet many of the
wounds were of kind which, in the war
OF the rebellion, would have been diagnosed
by the surgeons as mortal. In almost every
case a trea tment different in it's details
from that adopted In any other is noted
The ingenuity of the surgeons in reducing
fractures is illustrated by the different APP
paratus which they have used in MANY
cases. 1t is possible to see soldiers lying
upon the bed with their legs supported in
ingenously contrivcd frames, and perhaps
as skilIfully adjusted appliances holding the
severed arteries together in such manner
as to promise cure.
1t is. however. in large measure due to
the fact that the aSeptic treatment has been
in almost every case employed that nature

days used to be more dangerous than

Advices from Santiago indicate that the
relations between the Americans and Gu
bans at that point are growing strained
The Cuban insurgents disposed to be
insurgents still. Their attitude is described
as one of ''sulIen hostility" due, in part,
it is said, to the efforts of "a class of rabid
orators and breeders of sediton and rebel
lion against anything savoring of law and
order" These mischief-makers have adopted
the specious cry of Cuba for Cubans,' and
are urging the Cubans to repudiate all obli-
cations to the Americans and all treaties
between the United States and Spain. In
short, they are doing all they can to stir
up trouble. and, as it appears. with some
success.
This is one of the difficulties that must be
expected in the pacification of Cuba. Con-
sidering the long period of Spanish misrule
in the island, the warning elements there
and the little taste for law and order or ca
pacity for self-government it must be ex-
pected that the work of pacification will be
one of considerable difficulty, but we are
pledged to carry it through and must go
forward. Considering what the United
States has done for the Cubans, at least
for those who desired independence from
Spanish rule, it is base ingratitude on their
part to attempt to embarrass this govern
ment in any manner whatever. 1t is evident
now they never could have achieved their
own independence, and so far from assum-
ing an attitude of "sullen hostility" towards
the United States they ought to be thank
ing God and the Americans every night and
morning for their deliverance. Perhaps they
are not all of this ungrateful class. The in
surgents are probably the worst class of
people in Cuba, and now that they see
their occupation of guerrilla fighting, plum
dering and burning plantations is about to
end, they will do all they can to prolong it.
They do not want the pacifcation Of the
island on the basis of law and order and
the protection of the rights and property Of
all classes Their idea of Cuba ihre" is the
determination of the Spaniards in the ISL
and and the confiscation of their property
and the establishment of an era of looting
That is not what the United States went
to war for, and they will not tolerate any
thing of the kind. Such condition would
be as abhorrent as that which took up
arms to end, and to permit its establish
ment would be far greater scandal than
to have permitted the continuance of the
old condition. 1t simply must not be toler-
ated- For the present and for some time to
come the United States is the dominant
power in Cuba. 1t is pledged to the pacifi-
cation of the island, and will not hesitate
to use whatever degree of force may be
necessary to this end and as long as it may
be necessary. In this policy it will prob
ably have the cooperation of the better
class of Cubans, and if the insurgents at
tempt to resist or make trouble they should
be dealt with accordingly. They should be
given to understand that the days OF guer-
rilla warfare in Cuba are ended, and that
an era of law and order is to begin.
