New Cancer Cure.

DR.. Benjamin F. Bye Of Indianapolis,
md, has perfected wonderful cure
" cancer in the case of Mr.. Jefferson
Coker. who was afflicted with cancer
almost covering the entire face. One
large malignant growth on the jaw
under the eye was as large as turkey
egg. The patient had been exceeding
iy Ill for weeks. probably the result
Of a burning treatment he had been
subjected to before coming to DR.. Bye.
those that have witnessed the cure
pronounce 1t most marvellous, as MIR.
Coker was SO weak he could scarcely
walk.
The most extraordinary feature Of
the cure is that there is no pain. The
doctors method of treatment. which
was discovered by him q few years
ago. is an oil which will absorb the
indurated parts of cancer and heal the
liberation.
Besides from 40 to so patients receiv.
ing the treatment at the doctors place.
there are over 1000 receiving the home
treatment direct or through their
family physician.

another was lifted aboard apparently
lifeless, but was later resuscitated. The
courage and heroic action on the part
of the Americans were especially com.
mensed, as the British ships did not
rise to the emergency. although one
Of the capsized boats was much nearer
to the Ariadne than to the Dolphin.
Secretary Moody will summon the
Dolphin's crew and commend them for
their presence of mind. 1t is known
that five men, all Cubans. we're drown.
ed by the capsizing of boats during the
squall.
The arrival of the British squadron.

and calls. The Dolphin saluted Vice

manders Of the British warships pro.

N. Y. Banks Losses.

A curious discovery was made re-
Gently that the loss Of $37.000.000 by
New York banks to the treasury since
January is due to the fact that many
interior institutions from Boston to
San Francisco are drawing on New
York to pay internal revenue and Gus
toms dues, amounting to the same
thing as country banks drawing money
home. Secretary Of the Treasury
Shaw refused the money market re.
lief, saying the treasury cash is only
100000 larger than on January J..
Scarcely a dollar has been taken from
the west by Secretary Shaw.

from Austlana brought additional
news OF the typhoon anu tidal wave at
..,e luamotu Island group in the mid
die OF January.
the french government has investi
gated the disaster and found that be-
tween 500 and 900 islanders perished
during the storm. After the wind had
subsidized and the waters had receded
hundreds OF drowned natives were
found tied to the trees about the
places. Hikueru. one of the islands
visited by the deluge, was the least
able to Withstand its force, as its high
est place is IL feet above the ocean.
The residents focked to the heights
and sought safety by binding them
selves to the rocks and trees. There
they remained for three or four days
while the storm swept over the dread
fui scene.
The islands Of Hao. Morokau and Hik-
ueru are virtually washed way, as they
are at present little above the sea
level, and are destitute Of vegetation.
On them man can not subsist, as the
soil has vanished and the cocoanut
trees are dried up dead.
The French government of the ISL
and did all In its power to alleviate the
suffering. Charles Revel. inspector Of
the first class, now at Tahiti, made a
tour of inspection of the Tuamotd

Sunday night the water was on a

Of such extent that the engineers real
lied the hopelessness Of attempting
to repair the break and 1t was aban-
doned after the side Of the crevasse
had been riveted with the sand sacks
and stones to prevent further cutting
away of the embankment. The situa-
,ion in the meantime had become criti-
cal at other points and now it is con-
sidered doubtful II these places can

The food is abreast of the crowd on the
