MESSAGE OF CONGER
NOT MADE PUBLIC
The State Department .:efused to Reveal
Its Character-Peisin May BE
Hard to Take.

Washington, Aug. 15.-The state de-
partment issued the following official
announcement:
1.-THE department of state announces
that message from Minister Conger
has been received, but Of uncertain
date, and not in reply to the telegram
sent to him on August ). 1t will not
be made public"
The message came first to the Chi
nese legation by the usual route
through Chinese officials. 1t was in
the American cipher, without date
and signed with the minister's name
1t was at once transmitted to the
state department, and conferences be-
gan between Acting Secretary Adee
and Secretary Root 1t was stated
authoritatively that while the message
was of Il confidential character, and
for that reason could not and would
not be given out yet, as Il means Of
allaying possible misinterpretation it
could be said that the dispatch showed
neither a better condition nor a worse
condition on the part of the legationers
at Pekin. 1t did not indicate whether
Minister Conger has or has not reeeiy-
ed any messages from this gov
eminent. Nothing was contained in
the message which will cause any
change in the instructions to General
Chaffee. Up to Tuesday he was at Ho
ST WI. and. according to all calcula-
lions. he must now be very near Pekiq
unless events have occurred to delay
the advance. The officials are taking
into account that an advance mp to
Pekin leaves much to be accomplished
in a military way. 1t was stated by
an official who has lived ut Pekin that
nothing short Of the heaviest artillery
could make any impression upon the
walls Of the imperial city. He said
light artillery would be Of no avail
and for this reason the advance of a
flying column even up to the walls
of the city could effect little If a stub
born defense were determined upon
The walls are some 80 feet high, and
wide enough on top for two coaches
to pass abreast From an offensive
standpoint, the walls afford opportu-
nifty for planting guns, while from a
defensive standpoint they could not
be preached. except by the use of very
heavy projectiles.
Although the situation admits of the
prospect of an assault upon Pekin.
yet government officials We're decidedly
more hopeful that a solution of the
Chinese problem would be found
without recourse TO such heroic meas
ures. The improved feeling is based
largely on the belief that China, real
izing that the sacred capital is about
to be besieged by the armies of the
world. will yield everything and that
the legationers will be delivered on the
terms OF the allies.

LANDING OF BRITISH
MARINES rs RESENTED
France and Germany Announced They
VIII Send Ashore at Shanghai
Man for Man.

Washington, Aug. 15.-The attitude
of the United States concerning the
landing of British troops at Shanghai
has been made plain to the foreign gov
ernments through their representatives
here This has had the effect of prac~
tically eliminating the United States
from the question. Neither the French
nor the German government is disposed
to accept calmly the landing of BRIT
ish troops, and it Is understood that
strong representations, both from
France and Germany. are now being
made at London. AS summed up by q
well-informed diplomat, these repre-
sensations in effect are that for every
British marine landed at Shanghai
France and Germany also would land
a marine. 1t is felt. moreover that the
issue involved elates not only to Sheng-
hal but virtually to the control of the
entire Yangste Kiang valley, known as
the paradise of China.
Foreign governments have manifest
ed a desire also to learn the views of
the United States concerning the in
Etructions of Russia to her minister at
Pekin, II de Giers. IN response to
inquiries here, it has been made known
that this government looks upon the
course of Russia as substantially the
same as that of the United States.
and that the powers are therefore
acting In substantial unanimity

SCATTER ASHES ON SEA.
Thrown to Winds from Ships
Mainmast.

From the mainmast of the ship
Shenandoah, lying at anchor in San
Francisco bay, the ashes of Walter S.
Blanchard, founder of the Corinthian
Yacht club, were scattered over the
waters at dusk the other day.
The ceremony was witnessed by two
women in mourning, the wife of the
dead man and her friend, and the men,
bers of the crew. The two women clad
in black boarded the Shenandoah and
sought the captain, to whom they told
their mission. The captain called the
members of his crew, to each of VIII ON
he repeated the desire Of the women,
but each shook his head.
Steward Edward Eddy finally agreed
to comply with the request. Taking
from the hands of one of the women
a black box wrapped in Grape, and
fastening the box in his clothing, he
assembled the, mainmast of the ship.
When he reached the top he opened
the box and cast the ashes to the
Winds, the dust sitting over the waves
and drifting out to sea.
Blanchard expressed the desire be-
fore dying that his body be incinerated
and that the ashes be scattered to the
four winds from the mast of some
American ship.

SEES HER LEG CUT OFF.
New Method in AlnDntatinG Tried at
Chicago on Mrs. Arnut, So
Years Old.

Mrs. Mary Arndt, 323 Wolfram
street, Chicago, in spite of her SO
years, watched a surgeon at the coun-
~ hospital amputate her right leg
near the hip and did not give a sign
Of pain.
The operation proved successful.
DR. Samuel L. Weber, SAT Robey
street, a member of the advisory
staff CT the county hospital, had
charge of the operation, which is said
to have been the first of it's kind per-
formed in America, and the second
known to medical men. The method
consists in the deadening of the
nerves in the limbs by the injection of
cocaine in the vertebral cavity above
the point where the nerves controlling
the lower limbs branch from the
spinal chord.
Mrs Arndt has suffered a gangren-
Gus affection of the leg, and ampu-
tation became necessary to save her
life. She was not in a condition to
make the use of an anaesthetic safe,
and the surgeon decided to try the
method which had proved successful
in the Berlin hospital.

CUBA'S OPPORTUNITY Try

VIII Re Given Six Weeks Course at

Possible Trip Through
the Country.

A cable dispatch from Charles Will

versity, to Alexis Z. Frye, superintend
ent of schools of Cuba, will probably
have the effect of doing more for the
Cuban's future than anything yet &C.

Frye proposed a plan to Gov. Gen.
Wood, which had been discussed at the
Havana Harvard club, namely, endeav-
orlng TO obtain permission for 1000
Cuban teachers to attend the Harvard
summer school for teachers. Mr..
Frye has received President Eliot's re-
ply offering to provide, free of charge,
Tor 900 Cubans during six weeks OF
the summer. Mr.. Frye and Mr. Ernest
Lee Conant notified Gen. Wood, who
Was greatly pleased, as he believes that
the advantage to be gained for all con-
cernCh Will be enormous and will have
great effect on the Cuban children now
attending the schools. The teachers
Will be surrounded for q time by AGA

cannot but have an influence on the

CURE FOR CANCER FOUND
The = Ray II Used with success 1t .
Hospital at Oakland, Calf
fOrnia. z5Sz7. 4

After suffering from cancer of the
face for rs years, DR.. J. M. Selfridge,
the founder of the Fabiola hospital,
Oakland, Cal, has been almost COM
pletely cured by the x rays. Last
October DR.. selfridge began expert
jmenting with the x rays in conjunc-
4 ton with his son, DIR. c. M. selfridge,
! and DR.. N. Fl. Chamberlain. So sue
| cessful has been the trial that numbers
| of other sufferers have taken the same
remedy and have met with like aston
ishing relief. =
AS far as the trial has gone, it seems
| that a check has been discovered for
| the dread cancer scourge. De. Self
ridge was led to begin the experiments
by noting the powerful irritating eff
feet of the x ray on healthy skin.
He conceived the idea that the cathode
ray might dry up and heal the cam
kcerous tissue. So he made face mask
of thin sheets of lead and allowed only
la small aperture over the cancer. He
! was placed on an operating table and
This face covered with the mask, the
cancerous wound only being exposed
| to the action Of the ray.
The experiment was begun after the
doctor had vainly tried every remedy
that surgery could devise. Beneficial
results We're noted at once and the can
Ger began to dry up. Now it is entirely
healed, only scar remaining to show
where the sore was for SO many years.
The doctors at Fabiola are trying the
cure on other cancer patients and are
getting encouraging results. What eff
feet the ray may have upon internal
cancers is uncertain, as only external
groWths have yet been operated on.
