DENVER, Col. Dec. 5.-Dr. E. P. Her
shey has performed two daring surgical
operations which have aroused discussion
and even excitement among local physi-
clans. IN two cases he gave a subarach-
mold injection of cocaine for anesthesia,
the first instance of the use of cocaine in
this way in the West. The practice con-
sists of the injection of very small
quantity of cocaine below the spine. at
the end of the spinal cord. so that it
mixes with and flows with the cerebro-
spinal fluid through the canal There is
almost an immediate effect The legs and
all parts of the body below the waist be-
come insensibie to pain. In some cases
the whole body from the neck down be-
comes insensible. The patient remains
conscious and may without the Iesfst pain
watch the surgeons knife cut into his
body.
The criticism aroused by DR.. Hershey's
operations is bitter, many Denver ply

Against Heavy Odds.

Redding, Cal, March Although last
night rescuers worked two hours, shift to
shift to save the eight men imprisoned
by yesterdays cave-in at the Iron Noun
tain mine, so far only four men have been
taken out, two dead. One has succumbed
to his injuries and the fourth will prob
ably live.
The dead are: H. Cantillion, A. Cava-
nagh, and one of the Oates brothers
The fourth man rescued is D. E. Eros,
a man of family. He will probably re-
cover. But slight hopes are held out for
the safety of the other imprisoned men
as the air pump is broken.
The rescuers are working furiously
however. but owing to the nature of the
cave-in the work must be pushed with
great caution. To-day a second cave-in
occurred in the copper level of the mine,
injuring four reseuers, but none very
badly.

STEAMER MISSIONER DAMAGED.
Jacksonville Liner Had Her Bow
Completely Torn Away.

Philadelphia, March 1.-The steamer
Westover, from Jacksonville for this city.
was seriously damaged this morning by
collision with one of the stone ice piers
in the Delaware river at Marcus Hook,
twelve miles below Philadelphia.
The weather was very thick at the time,
and the Westover struck the pier bow
first. Her entire bow from three feet above
the water line was completely torn away,
and her forward compartments filed with
water. THE collision bulkhead was all
that saved her from sinking. The respon-
sibility for the collision has not yet been
determined.
The Westover is commanded by Capt.
Joy, and is a vessel of 30S tons.
Subsequently the Westover proceeded up
the river under her own steam, and arriv-
ed at her dock this afternoon. The vessel
carried a cargo of lumber.
The Westover is one of the two steamers
that ply between here and Jacksonville.
She is of steel, and was built at Whining
ton, Del, In 1873. She Is 1866 feet long,

He severely scored the administration for
the passage of the Porto Rican tariff bill
denouncing it as the first step towards

gressmen who We're whipped into line on
that measure, he charged, would vote for
anything for this country, if ordered by

BOER GUNS NOT DESTROYED.
CrOnje's Men Piled Them Up and
Stuck to Pots and Pans.

London, March 1.-With such determine
ed enemies, says a special correspondent,
telegraphing from Paardeberg under date
of Feb. 27, one would suppose that the
Beers would have destroyed their guns,
small arms and ammunition before sur
rendering. The only thing injured, how
ever, was a Vickers-M Maxim piece, which
had been hit by British shell.
British officer and nine British soldiers
who were prisoners, had been provided
with deep holes by the Beers and kindly
treated 81 50
The Beers inquired, with anxiety whether
Bloemfon'tein was in possession of the
British. When the order came for the
Boer prisoners to cross the river 10 the
British camp they took all that they could
carry of such things as pots pans and
blankets, throwing their rifles in two
heaps that gradually increased to huge
proportions. AS the ford had been swollen
by heavy rain, the Beers took off their
trousers and waded across. The scene
looked like play rather than war. The
men laughed and splashed each other in
the water, but among them were some
grim faces which hooked with disfavor
upon such sportiveness.

Likened II to Lucknow.

London, March 2. 4:3O a. m.-Britons
feel that they are living in the presence
of momentous events. Tornadoes of pa
trotic excitement are whirling through
the country. Even the dullest soul must
have been stirred by the emotions of yes
terday and London's 100000 were raised
TO a high pitch of patriotic exaltion.
1t was a wonderful sight. Old men have
nothing in memory with which to compare
the day. Some likened it to Lucknow,
others talked of the fall of Sepastopol. 1t
was time of singular abandon. The us
ual conventions of society ceased to con-
troll, and everybody knew everybody else,
all joining in smiles or bellowings as their
disposition moved them.
Lord Lansdowne chose the psychological
moment to announce estimates exceed
ing f61, ,0C0,0 900 and rather startled the pub
lie by unfolding the programme of the
war office to send out, in addition to the
$1,000 troops now aloat. $1,000 fresh SOL
diers. Lord Roberts will ultimately have
a force of 25O,000.
An order has reached Woolwich arse
nal for the construction of 224 new guns,
from 3-pounde.s to Pinch guns. OF these
140 are to be naval guns. Already 5000
workmen are employed at the arsenal,
and 5000 more will be engaged. These de-
cisions to send out more troops and to in
crease the home armament, meet with
universal approval.
Beers Left Ladysmith.
The. Beers seem to have gotten quite
IL,
losing gun or their baggage. Van Rec
mans pass is only about twenty miles
from Ladysmth The enemy had artillery
in action Tuesday and they probably util
lied both railroads in retreating, sending
the heavy pieces to Pretoria and the light
er ones into the Free State.
Dr. Leyds says that Gen. Joubert is as
sembling $4,000 men at Winburg, seventy
miles northeast of Bloemfontein. Col AL
brecht, according to a dispatch from
Paardeberg, affirms that the Beers have
5000 men left Whether Lord Roberts is
at Bloemfontein now or not, he doubtless
soon will be dating his dispatches there
and using the town as his advanced base.
Lord Kitchener's mission is to combine
the forces under Gen. Clement and Gen.
Gatacre and to advance along the line or
the railroad to Bloemfontein. The rail-
way will simplify the perplexities of trans
port.
The conditions at Ladysmith are now
better understood, as the military authori-
ties no longer retain their special infor-
nation. 1t appears that since the middle
OF January the horses have been half
starved, and altogether too weak either to
drag guns or to carry cavalrymen. Hence
