WHAT CT ARANTEEf

Some day. ago we printed summary
Of the report of the first years work OF
the Pasteur Department Of the City Hos
pital of Baltimore. Wednesday Dr.
Ruhrah, quarantine physician Of Balu-
more. read before gathering of Mary
land physicians paper OF that work.
DR.. Ruhrah not only accumulated the
fact that the experience in the annex
had demonstrated the efficacy of the
Pasteur treatment in cases of persons
who had been bitten by rabid dogs, but
also took up the subject OF cauterization
in such cases.
As it often happens that the Pasteur
trcatmen, cannot be secured, ana az we
understand the Doctor TO hold that even
when it is practicable to secure it. imme-
date cauterization prior to its appi-
cation is ir the nature Of making as
surance double sure. what he said on the
subject of cauter,zation is both interest
ing and valuable.
DR.. Euhrah ruled "caustic" or nitrate
Of silver the popular agent for cauteriz-
ing. out Of court. This agent, he said, al
though commonly used AID widely re-
commended by the medical profession,
was Of 40 value in the prevention Of
hydrophobid. Further, he stated that
almost all the chemical applications. as
ordinarily made. were Intellectual eau
torizatior. he declared, in order to be
effective. should be resorted TO within
half an hour after the infection of the
bite. and the sooner the better. No
faith. he said. was TO be put in cauteriza-
zion done an hour after the infection.
It would prove utterly futile. The method
used should be that of actual cautery,
with the hot iron preferably. This. he
added had the great advantage of being
the most effective and also, generally
Speaking. the only method that could
be practiccd at al times and places.
Any piece of iron heated TO red heat
was, he said. all that was necessary.
OF the chemical agents he advocated
nitric acid as to be preferred to all
others.
DR.. Ruhrah evidently had in mind the
fact that very decided sccpticlsm SUN
exists on the subject of rabies and hydro
phobia. After going into details touch
ing cases of hydrophobia treated and
proved in the Baltimore annex, he said
that the work there had brought TO light
one fact that was nos very generally
accepted by either physicians or laity,
and that was the very great prevalence
Of rabies in Maryland and adjoining
States. Also, that the disease occurred
epidemically among the animals OF vari-
Gus localities from time to time.
Considering the liberty allowed worth
less dogs in Richmond. il may be compe-
tent TO ask our authorities what guaran-
tee our city has of immunity from the
experience in this matter of other COM
munitics.

THE SEVENTH WILL NOT GO.

The crack regiment Of New York city,
the Seventh. has declined TO volunteer.
The States quota is being made up with
out it. The following is a statement from
its commander made in response to in
quiries of representatives of the press:
Il cannot communicate any portion OF
my official report, but | can say that 1868
members of this regiment have agreed
that il will not terminate its existence
as a State organization TO enter the SER
vice of the United States as part Of the
volunteer army for two years, but will
continue TO furnish officers and soldiers
for that army and will obey with full
ranks any and all orders for service any
where intending TO maintain the integ-
rity of it's existence under the laws which
created it,"
From the newspaper publications that
we have seen, this action will give the
seventh "a black eye" so to speak. in
York and the country at large. The ex-
cuse given Is TOO thin" Furthermore,
many of the men say that from tho
statements made at the meeting. which
was held with closed doors, they were in
duced to believe that if they volunteered
their regimental organization you'd be
broken up. The Seventh could have gone
in with the minimum number Of men in
each company; the two extra companies
could have been easily recruited or two
separate companies" could have been
assigned to it.
Really the chief reason for the
Seventies action is that the majority of
its officers and men do not wish 10 leave
their business, and it would have better
said so. But another reasN that un-
doubleday influenced its action was that
its colonel has an extraordinarily large
and SNOWY staff, and under the Act of
Congress, all but two of these military
stars would have been oustcd inconti-
ncntly. SO, they and their personal
friends were probably Influenced to work
against action favorable to volunteering.
However. the State of New York will be
able TO get along very well. indeed. with
out the Seventh. The regiments that are
10 so TO the front have been designated
by the Governor, and each company will
have full ranks.

VIII These ships Have Any Part in
the Present War.

NEWPORT NEWS. VA, April Is
(Special)-One of the questions upper
most i'm the minds of many persons is,
VIII the batteships Kearsarge, Ken
lucky, and Illinois. which are now build
ing at Newport News. take an active
part i'm the naval engagements of the war
between The United States and Spain?
No positive information about the time
for the completion OF the ships and no
idea as TO the actual intentions Of the
government i'm this respect can be obtain
ed. 1t is quite probable however. mat
November lst will see these magnificent
products of Americas greatest ship
building plant flying the Stars and
Stripes.
OF course, the length Of the war will
determine whether or not there is any
possibility Of these ships being needed in
active service. but it can be safely said
that if the war continues more than six
months-a year, say-the Kearssrge and
kentucky will be numbered among the
ships of the fighting list.
If the government decide. that it needs
the warshps. and will incur the expense
necessary for working overtime on them,
the Kearsargc and Kentucky can be
placed in service at the end of five
months.
The engines and machinery for both
vessels are all ready a: the ship-yard,
and can be placed aboard lin no time
All other small essential parts are in
condition TO be fitted. and the batteries
Of heavy and light guns are already fin
ished. and are at the Washington navy
yard gunshop, waiting TO be transferred
TO Newport News.
The armor-plate is on hand In the yard.
Fitting this to the ships will, Of course,
entail more time. but it is very evident
that if rush orders are given both Of the
battlcships can be turned out by Octo-
Der lst.
At present the work on the battleships
is not being rushed. All Of the force is
engaged on the auxiliary cruisers Dixie
and Yosemite II Is believed that as soon
as these ships are off the hands of the
ship-yards orders will be issued from
Washington 10 complete the battleships
az the earliest possible date.

TO the Editor of the Dispatch:
War in Cuba cannot last more than
sixty days. Spain cannot bring soldiers
from Spain 10 fiji their army. nor can
she supply il with food. ammunition. etc.
So il must soon end in Cuba. On the
seas it Will be more equal at first, but in
a few months we will be able to con-
quer peace on sea. The war cannot be
long-dra wn-out. II is too late now To
ask if we have good cause for war. The
die is cast. | hope Spain will accept the
inevitable and eyacuate Cuba.

Waikiki Liquor Selling
Cases in Court.
One Sentence and One Acquittai.
Cases to Be Tried-The Com

George Lycurgus pleaded guilty in
police court yesterday morning to the
charge of selling liquor without lie
ense and was fined 500. Jim Sherwood
stood trial on the same charge and was
acquitted. The case OF Tom Wright,
same charge, went over to Monday.
These charges are all directed against
the men personally. Proceedings will
come later against the liquor, under the
law which provides for its confiscation
under certain circumstances. The fol-
lowing section of the Penal Code, 455,
will be used in the process against the
liquor:
Upon information on oath before any
District Magistrate by any person, that
he believes that spirituous liquor Is
sold by any person without a license.
or contrary to the provisions of this
act, in any house or place, such Justice
shall grant his warrant to any con-
stable TO enter and search such house
or other place and seize all such spirit
uous liquor as aforesaid, as he shall
then and there find, and any vessel or
vessels containing such spirituous
liquor, and detain the same until the
owner thereof shall appear before sl,ch
Justice to claim such spirituous liquors
or vessels. and shall satisfy such JUS
tice how and wherefore such owner be-
came possessed OF the same, or il such
person after being summoned shall not
appear, and IL 1t shall appear to the
said Justice after due inquiry. that such
spirituous liquor was in said house or
place for the purpose Of being illegally
sold or disposed Of, then he shall ad-
Judge such spirituous liquors and yes
sells to be forfeited and sold, and the
proceeds after paying the expense of
such sale shall be appropriated in like
manner as penalties under this act.
