in united effort on the part OF the cor
respondents here 10 secure an abate-
ment OF the rigor OF the censorship.
The correspondents had two long Id.
terviews with Gen. Otis. In the course
of which they complained that the evil
dent purpose Of the censorship was not
to keep information from the enemy,
but to keep from the putlie knowl-
edge of the real condition of affairs
here. II was already asserted by the
correspondents that newspapers print
cd in Manila, which reach the enemy
quickly, are permitted to publish state
ments similar to those which CORE
spondcnts are forbidden to cable. It
was made clear to Gen. Otis that the
objection was to the system and not ia
the censor. Gen. Otis finally promised
greater liberality, agreeing to pass oil
matter that he might consider not det-
rimental to the interests Of the United
States. Gen. Otis appointed Capt.
Green, Of his staff, censor. The state

In the royal hospital of Kiel, Ger
many, the other day, n patient lay
upon the operating table and placidly
read the morning paper while surgeons
cut off his leg at the thigh. He had
been rendered incapable of feeling
pain by new method, which, while
leaving the patients mind perfectly
clear, entirely abolishes the sensation
Of pain. This was accomplished by in
jecting very small amount of solu-
ton Of cocaine into the sac surround-
ing the spinal cord. DIR. Leonard j.
Corning, of New York, is the discoverer
of this new method Of producing in
sensibility TO pain.
