THE GOAT LYMPH CURE.
Many Physicians Who Consider 1t
Remedy for Insanity.

CHICAGO, Ill.,, Sept 25.--Dr Joseph R.
Hawley, medical director of the institute
where the cure of Irwin Fuller Bush, who
was considered 'hopelessly insane was
effected, leaves for New York this week to
preside at a convention Of physicians IA
miliar with the use of the DR.. B. F. Rob-
erts' goat lymph.
F'ifty-five experts in the use of the lymph
compound will attend the convention,
which will be held on Saturday, and plans
will be laid for the extension Of the method
of treatment throughout the country.
Although the cure of Mr.. Bush was
most gratifying" said DR.. Hawley yester-
day, lit is by no means the most wonder
full which has been effected by the Roberts
method. 1t is probably the most sensa-
tional one, and therefore attracts the most
attention. We do not anticipate that ouI
method will prove a positive cure for all
kinds and forms of insanity. In fact, the
treatment in its present stage of develop
| ment will probably cure only about 40 pei
cent of the types of insanity known TO ply
sicians. - 80
We have had our greatest success il
treating the diseases peculiar to old age
| There are about ninety-fYe institutions il
| the United States at the present time giving
treatment according to the Roberts method
During he last two years accurate and sys.
tematic records have been kept of the pa
| tients treated, and we are able to gather
some very interesting data from them.
During the time our records have beer
| kept 1,200 cases have been treated. TIL,
average age of the patients has been fifty
seven years, and over three -fourths of tn
cases are usually regarded as incurable o
these eighty-fve, or about 6 1-2 per cent
were complete failures. although in man,
cases the patient was much benefited il
| other ways than the disease for whicl
! treatment was given.
"Of the entire number treated 905 wer
completely cured; that is, all signs an
| symptoms of disease were removed and tn
patient resorted to the normal condition.

when asked what he thought of the Ia
bor situation in Havana as set forth in the
morning dispatches, General Garcia said:
The proposed general strike In havana
should not surprise the people OF TINS
country Its coming was only question
of time II demonstrates the quick per-
ception of the Cubans. They know fhat
i'm the United States eight hours constitute
a DAVIS work. and why not in Cuba? In
my opinion, if the workngmen go out on
strike today, as is said in the dispatches
from Havana, it will be an orderly strike.
There will be no trouble unless the mill
tary authorities should attempt to force
the men TO return TO work. 1t is not a
question Of wages for which the men con-
tend. but for fewer hours of labor. i en-
dorse their action, for they have justice
on their side OF course, strike Of all the
the workingmen in Havana will prove

any government. / have been in Spain,
also in France; in fact, have travelled IN

though he had been born in Spain. he has

Secretary Darbyshire has fallen int

FoRTIFYING NEW ENGLAND.
Valuable Land Demanded for n Mas
sIye disappearing battery

NEWPORT, r. l., Sept 25.-The case of
the United States against the Cottrell es-
tate to condemn about thirty acres of land
at Fox Point, jamestown, will be heard in
the United States court at Providence dur
ing the latter part of this month. The land
will be used lCr a fortifcauon in the form
OF massive disappearing CUR battery. AS
an instance of how well the Government
has used others whose land was condemned
at jamestown for fortifcation purposes,
may be cited the case of one land owner
whose land and dwelling upon it cost him
something like $4,000, and the Govern
ment purchased il, after condemnation
proceedings, for something like $110, 0,000
This shows that the Government is paying
very good price for the land il requires
and must have for the defence of Nara
gansett Bav.
The new two 12-inch breech-loading rife
batteries ar the foot Of Fort Dumplings is
now completed In every respect, and IL
ready for use. The work there is said tc
be the best piece of fertilization work OF
the New England coast
