into their veins.
DR.. Fralick during the operation ex-
planned the workings of the serum.
II do not claim that it is a cure" he
told the physicians. "What claim is
that it will kill all the disease germs.
It will leave the patient as typhoid fe-

been killed, however. and the system

Court That No Further Proceedings
BE Had In the Case.
Washington, Dec. 2s.-secretary
Long has disposed finally of the
Schley case SO far as the navy depart
ment is concerned by acting upon the
findings and conclusion Of the court OF
inquiry.
He approved the findings Of fact and
the opinion of the full court; he ap-
proved the majority opinion where
holds that the court could not have en-
tered into consideration Of the ques-
ton of command at the battle OF San
tiago and finally he accepts the recon-
mendation that no further proceedings
shall be had.
The secretary also has declined the
application of Admiral SIMPSONS
counsel to enter upon an inquiry into
the question of command and had no
titled Admiral Schley's counsel Of that
fact as a reason for declining to hear
them on that point.
Secretary Longs approval Of the ma
jority report was as follows:
"The department has read the testi-
mony in this case, the arguments of
counsel at the trial, the courts find
lngs Of fact, opinion and recommends
ton; the individual memorandum of
Me presiding member. the state
nent of exceptions to the said findings
and opinion by the applicant; the reply
to said statement by the Judge advocate
OF the court and his assistant and the
brief this day submitted by counsel of
Rear Admiral Sampson traversing the
presiding members view as to who
was in command at the battle Of San
nago.
"And. after careful consideration;
the findings of fact and opinloA tof the,
full court are approved.
"As to the points on which the pre-
siding member differs fromtathe mar
jority Of the court the opinion Of the
majority is approved. -
"As to the further expression Of his
views by the same member with regard
there Is q difference In the court; he
to the questions Of command on the
morning of July 8, 1898, and Of the
title to credit for the ensuing victory,
the conduct of the court In making no
finding and rendering no opinion on
these questions is approved indeed,
It could with propriety take no other
course-evidence on these questions
during the inquiry having been ex-
cluded by the court.
"The department approves the rec
ommendation of the court that no
further proceedings be had in the
premises.
"The department records its appre-
citation Of the arduous labors Of the
whole court"
