Emanates From Filipino Sources.
PARIS, May 15.-The Filipino junta
here alleges that the approaching re-
turn of Dewey to the United States is
not due to the condition of the admir-
al's health, but to differences of opin-
ion between him and Gen. Otis.
Dewey, they say, strongly favors
making terms with the Filipinos and
has urged Mckinley to pursue differ
eut policy.
The departure of Dewey. the junta
says, lessons the probability for early
peace.

ELECTRICITY IN SURGERY.
The Fluid Is Used to Stop Hemor-
rhnge From Wounds.
(From the Cleveland Plain Deaier.)


One of the most difficult of surgical
problems has always been the devising of
means to stop excessive bleeding of pa
tients during operations. The electric cur
rent has been used for several years, with
a view to bringing about that condition of
heat which is necessary in order TO cause
the blood to elot and so act as a block to
the mouth of bleeding vessels. arresting
hemorrhage
This, indeed, has resulted in the utiliza-
ton of the electric eautery. as it is called
in certain operations, the platinum wire at
red or almost white heat even supplanting
the knife, because il burns through It's
tissues and at the same time prevents the
wound bleeding 10 any great extent. This
effect OF heat was. indeed. known to our
ancestors who used red-hot irons or boil
ing pitch to scar the surface of the flesh
after their operations. thus causing an i'm
mense amount of suffering to the patient,
before the days of chloroform.
A new adaptation of this use of electrici-
ty for the purpose of stopping bleeding has
been devised by inclosing a platinum wire
in a pair of forceps or other instrument
the wire being insulated in a bed OF burnt
pipe clay, and as soon as the bleeding yes
sci is seized by the forceps and compressed
in the ordinary way an electric current is
turned on. whose effect is so great that
the tissues and the walls of the blood yes
sells are all agglutinated, so that the blood
is no longer able to pass.

just now rather too pressing for her COM

bad health. Many actresses who subse-
quentIy achieved fame In very different d.
rections came here first with her troupes of
so-called British blondes. Rose Coghlan
was one of them and Ada Cavendish an
other. Ada Hariand, Pauline Markham.
and Harry Beckett were other members of
her company who subsequently became wen
known here. IL was in 1868 that Miss
Thompson came first to New York with her
cohorts and made an impression which has
lasted until this time and remained the
standard by which all similar performances
are measured. She returned several times
to this country and after her visits ceased

longer. Unlike Emily SoIdene who used

came 10 this country. Miss Thompson E

comes, and it is pointed out that no
matter how disastrous it turns out to
be, such a measure could never be re-
pealed in a democratic country like
England. 1t is recognized on every side
that increased expenditure will be reGui-
site to meet the fierce rivalry of the
United States and Europe, while signs
are not lacking that Great Britain's in
come is nearing high water, and there
is a widespread feeling that this is no
time to sacrifice millions, which might
be spent in insuring the country against
hostile fleets. AS to the old age pen
