Washington. June 12.-Tbe solu-
tion of the problem OF how to reinforce
General Otis without calling for volun-
teers or reducing below the danger line
the reserve force in the United States,
was reached at meeting OF the cabinet
today. Attorney General Giiggs an
nonnced his opinion that the army re-
organization hill, fixing the maximum
strength Of the army at $4,000 men,
did not include the enlisted force Of
the hospital corps, and the regular
army can be increased by that number.
As the enlisted hospital corps aggre-
gate 2, 900 men. the opinion Of the at
tOrney general gives that many more
men to the regular army for Manila.
Major General shafter has now at
the Presidio in California, ready for
early shipment to Manila, 2,400 re.
cruits.
Word was received by the war de-
partment today that the Nineteenth in
fantry, under orders to 60 to the Phil.
ippines, which came back from Porto
Rico only 700 strong. had today been
filed to its full quota OF ] 300 men by
recruits enlisted at Camp Meade.
The regiment will be sent to General
Otis at once. In addition, the Twenty.
fourth and Twenty-fifth infantry Iegi-
ments. negroes, every company recruit
ed to its full strength are under orders
to go to the Philippines, which will
give General Otis 2.60O more tightinS
men in good condition. The Four
teenth infantry, also fully recruited
and part of the Fourth artillery, are al
the Presidio, awaiting orders to sail
Thus. without issuing call for volun'
teers, the president can send Genera
Otis force slightly in excess Of 10,
900.
General Otis has been instructed Il
organize several skeleton regiments o
volunteers who may accept the PROPOSE
tin to Te-enlist tor service until July !
1901. These skeleton organization
are to be officered by volunteer officer

CURE FOR APPENDICITIS.
New York Physician Relieves . Patieni
without Instruments.

New York. June l3.-Dr. George
Helmer, New York doctor. has cured
a patient of appendicitis in eight min
utes without the use of knife. ice
packs, or poultices He applied one
hand to point midway between the
top Of the right leg and point above
the stomach, then bent up the right
leg of the patient at the knee joint,
and gave the leg slight twist, by
means Of quick motion, repeated two
or three times. and the operation was
over. This forced out Of the appendix
the clogging particles that occupied it.
Just back Of the appendix is the largest
muscle in the human body, known as
the psoas magnus 1t is attached to
the fermur or big bone of the leg, and
is the muscle by which one can revolve
the leg as on a pivot at the heel. II
is this muscle which is made to do the
trick of emptying the appendix. Using
the fingers OF one hand to hold the
walls of the abdomen in place, and
TO prevent rupture OF delicate internal
structures, with the other hand spas
modic contraction of the psoas magnus
is brought about, which snaps it against
the appendix and forces out of that or.
gan whatever foreign substances il
may contain.

DIVORCED AND REMARKED.
Last Chapter Of a Romantic story oi
True Love and War.

Chicago, JuLs IA special to the
Chronicle from Highmore, s. H., says:
The return to this town OF man and
woman. divorced five years ago, but
who are again husband and wife, adds
the last chapter to romantic story Of
love and war.
Five years ago Henry Ballantyne
and wife, of this place. agreed to sep
arate. They had been married not
quite ~ months. BalIantyne was a
prosperous grain-buyer, and owned
several good farms near Highmore.
These he decided to his wife. The few
hundred dollars he was able to scrape
together in cash to put in his own
pocket and left to begin life afTesh in a
new location. As soon as he had gone,
his wife sued for divorce. There was
no defense. and decree was granted.
The land given her by her husband
she sold to advantage, and By shrewd
reinvestments accumulated within the
next few years a comfortable fortune.
The past winter she spent In South
ern California. On her way home q
month ago she stopped in San Fran.
cisco. On the street there one day she
met an em&ciated figure in army blue,
hobbling about with the aid Of heavy
cane, in vain search for employment.
1t was Ballantyne, discharged from the
United States volunteer service, ant
invalided home from the Philippines
after a fever which left him in sucf
poor health as to destroy his usefulness
as a soldier.
Ballantyne was about to pass hi
former wife without speaking to her
but she, when she cav his wasted form
and miserable condition, felt all he
old love for him revive. She hurrie'
him into carnage and to her hotel
where comfortable quarters, good foo
and the services of competent physi
clan soon produced marked improve
ment in his health. Last week TIN
two were remarked and have just re
turned to Highmore together.

Casper, wyo., June l3.-The Hole

outlaws, promises to be cleansed of its

Der band which looted the Union Pa

escaped to the fastn asses of their dens

the fact that they were closely pursued

this purpose the several railway man
ayers with interests in this state are
organizing posses, and the outlaws will
be given no rest. 1t is expected 200
men will be engaged in the big man
hunt.
The state and the express and rail-
road companies have offered an aggre-
gate OF sS, 900 each for tLe heads of the

this head money, in event OF success,

afternoon, an examination by the pro.

case, and he was to have been taken

Cubans are a peaceful people. but they

HIS HEAD CRUSHED.
Marine Diver Drowned Under 19s Feet
of Water.

of Water.
Tacoma, Aug. l9.-William Bald.
win, the famous marine diver, of Seat
tie, was drowned this afternoon while
working on the submerged Andelana,
1913 feet under water. 1t has been
contended that divers could not descend
deeper than $50 feet. Baldwin said he
could reach the Andelana, and made
three descents.
On the fourth trip down, the terrific
air pressure broke the connecting
tubes to his pneumatic suit, and he
was drowned. His head was crushed
to pieces by the pressure.
Baldwin made his first trip to the
bottom of Commencement bay on the
afternoon of August 9. and broke all
previous records for deep-sea diving by
going down little over 33 fsthoms.
When he was drawn to the surface, af-
ter his first descent, his first words,
when the helmet was removed from his
suit were: 81 knew | could reach the
ship and | did,"
When he went down again this af-
ternoon his assistants and "A few specta-
tors who were on the barge, which is
moored near where the Andelana is ly-
ing, jokingly said goodbye. as they had
always done before. and one of the
men at the air pump added, "We'll all
attend your funeral" Little did they
think that that would be the last time
Baldwin would be seen alive.
Heretofore the record for the deepest
dive made under water was held by
Gunner's Mate Morgan, of the United
States cruiser Charleston, who went
below the surface Of the water dis
lance of 100 feet. When this record
was made, it was considered phenomen.
al. and many thought the feat impos.
sbe.
Alta depth of 1913 feet there is q
water pressure OF 90 pounds to the
square inch, and pressure OF 95
pounds to the square inch is necessary
to force breathing-air to the man be-
low the water. but this did not deter
Baldwin from attempting to reach the
sunken ship. In describing the feel
ing experienced under 33 fathoms Of
water, Baldwin said it was a paralyz-
ing sensation all over the body and
limbs, and when there would be the
least hitch in the airpump, the top of
his head seemed to raise about three
feet. Ordinary garden hose was used
to furnish air to Baldwin. AMI this
was only guaranteed to withstand a
pressure OF 10 pounds, so his death can
be laid only to his own carlessness.
Before the raising OF the Andelana
could finally be successful, it would be
necessary for Baldwin to go to 36 faith
oms of water, and he seemed perfectly
willing to chance the danger. Diver
Baldwin was to receive $50, 900 for his
labors if the Andelana was raised, but
now that he has been killed, it is
probable that the ship will continue to
lie In Commencement bay for some
time to come.
This will probably be the last at
tempt to raise the sunken ship, as
Baldwin was the only man on the
coast who would even make the at
tempt to descend to sO great a depth,
particularly 80 since the water is al
ways muddy on account of the Puva)-
lup emptying into the bay at this
point,
