SOME REMARKABLE RECOVERIEs.
Work on tho Hospital Ship NIaine with
Wounded in South African Wnr.

London, March 26.-Major Julian M.
Cabell, former chief surgeon of the
American hospital ship Maine is now
in London on his way back to Columbia
hospital, washington, his leave of alb
sence having expired. In an interview
with a representative of The Asso-
ciated Press to-day, he said:
1--WE were very fortunate on the Maine
with cases. Only one man died before
left, and I believe this number has
not been increased since. Perhaps our
most remarkable case was that of an
officer of the Gordon Highlanders, who
was shot clean through the brain and
who completely recovered on board the
American hospital ship.
''Mauser wounds in the intestines
which from the Springfield or Reming-
ton would surely have been fatal, healed
up without operation. I had seen some
similar cases in the Philippine islands
and avoided operations upon such
wounds with complete success, the
Mauser wound being so clean and
small that it heals better when left
alone. I saw no traces of explosive
bullets, and I believe that the reports
that the Beers are using such bullets
are greatly exaggerated From my
experiences in Manila and South Africa
I believe it is almost impossible to dis
tinguish between the explosive bullet
and that of the ordinary Mauser when
the latter Is fired at point blank range.
Perhaps I should not say 1t, but the
Maine was undoubtedly the best fitted
hospital ship down there. Everything
that it was possible to provide to make
the wounded comfortable had been pro-
vided The British army and navy
men were loud in their praises of the
ship, and Lord Roberts spoke most
highly of her. But perhaps bluff Cap
tain Chichester (Sir Edward Chichester,
formerly captain of the British cruis-
er Immortalite the British flagship at
Manila during the troublesome times
there) in good humoredly addressing
the nurses and saying he found out a
few things about Americans at Manila,
imp1 essed us the most.
II much regretted leaving the ship
but my leave is IN and 7 had to come
home"
The Maine will return to South Afri-
ca Immediately after landing her
wounded.

Those members of the Gounod societv

the evening when a messenger came run-

that the physician was wanted inlrne-

years, being about seventy-six years OF
age He has for number Of years
conducted the grocery story at ia Syl-
van avenue. His health has been very
poor for the last few years and recent-
ly he has been unable because of the
state of his health, to attend to his
business. He is a sufferer from heart
disease, which has frequently incapaci-
tated him for attending to the store.
This fact, together with the knowledge
that he would probably never recover
his health, preyed upon his mind and
he has been very respondent lately.
For the last few days he had been con-
fined to the house and this increased his
despondency until last night he could
stand it no longer, and attempted to
take his life. He resides with his
daughter-in-law at 116. 1t was his
daughter who discovered what he had
done last night She ran down the
street to DR.. Pitman's office to call him
and finding him out sent messenger
for him to Republican, hall.
When the physicians arrived Mr..
Keller was conscious, although he had
an ugly deep cash in his throat For

RUSSIA'S PROPOSAL
CREATES SUSPICION

London, Aug. 31.-The Russo-Ameri-
can surprise" as it is called. is the
chief feature of the morning papers.
While Russia's part in the proposal is
regarded with considerable suspicion.
It IS generally recognized that the
night OF the empress dowagcr and the
emperor renders the situation extreme
ly difficult. and, therefore, that It
might be wise to adopt the Russo
American program as the best snlu-
tion of the problem at the same time
a very strong feeling is displayed in
favor OF a more vigorous line of poYicy.
The Daily Graphic says:
THE United States arc almost NOR
bidly anxious to wash their hands Of
the Chinese embarrassment. This has
long been apparent. But it is rather
surprising to hear that their anxiety
is shared by Russia. With the possible
exception Of Germany, there is prob
ably not another power that would
seriously object to the evacuation OF
Pekin."
The Daily Mail observes: prob
ably Russia. with the assistance of the
United States and France, hopes to die
tate to other powers a far eastern pol
icy, ensuring the accomplishment Of
Russian designs. which would be great
ly facilitated by the acceptance Of Ii
Hung Chang as plenipotentiary. The
powers should refuse to accept apy
intermediary or to evacuate Pekin.
which would only be interpreted as q
sign of weakness"
The Standard says: 1T is not easy
to overrate the importance of the de-
oision of the United States. The desire
OF both Washington and st. Petersburg
TO withdraw from Pekin is very intel
ligible. Public opinion in America is
ayerse to foreign complications, while
Russia has discovered that conditions
are not propitious for her scheme of
conquest. She lacks the necessary
large army and wants the Trans-Sibe-
rian railway completed before she can
stretch her arms over northern Asia.
