After awhile the deadly poison begins to eat into the surrounding flesh and the sore spreads with frightfu1 .rapidity. Then the sharp shooting pains, which distinguish the cancerous from the common ulcer, are felt, and the unfortunate patient is brought face to face with the most dread ed of all maladies, cancerous ulcer.
 Whenever an ulcer of any kind is slow in healing it should be closely watched, particularly if there is an inherited pre- disposition to cancer. Often times ma 1ignant, stubborn ulcer starts from boil, wart, mole, bruise, blister or pimple, for when the blood is tainted and the germs and seeds of cancer are implanted in the system, you cannot tell when nor where the deadly poison Is going to break out:

BATHS CURE LEPROSY ?
Reported Discovery of an 4mer7cdn
Physician in China.
tBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. ]


Washington, Feb. E5.-From Canton. China,
comes the announcement of United States Con-
sui McWade that an American physician. DR..
Adolf Razlag. has discovered and demonstrated
by eAI Ieriment cure for the hitherto incurahle
disease of leprosy. This cure receives the in
dorsement of Consul McWade who declares that
he has personally followed the treatment ad-
ministered t. four patients and has seen three
return their business perfectly cured. The
foundation of this discovery is in baths. Sun
baths, sand baths. warm and cold fresh water
baths and salt water baths. together with
medicated baths. are the main features of
the remedy The medicated baths include
a wide range of drugs and chemicals
used in various staS s. Together with the
treatment is the scheme of island hospital.
such as has been planned for the Philippines
and is now in use in the Hawaiian Islands
Concerning the cases which have been sue
cessfully treated, Consul McWade writes that
April 20 Of last year four patients were placed
in new buildings furnished by the Viceroy Of
the Two kwangs at his request. In four months
three of the patients, one OF whom was teacher
in the American Presbyterian Missionary School,
were discharged and returned to work cured
This Ieper colo1y, six miles east of Canton,
which is known as "Lepratown.' is described by
Consul McWade as source of the disease, since
its inhabitants allowed to go to the city to
beg, and wash in lakes used for various pur
poses by the inhabitants Consul McWade re-
ports that the new treatment has created the
greatest interest among the Chinese and Manchu
of<ials.
Concerning his observation of the merits
of the new cure, Consul McWade writes TO the
State Department:
The results of the first four cases have gone
far TO show that DR.. RaZlag's work of treatment
has gone beyond the stage of experimentation.
AS / have personally witnessed the progress OF
the leper patients from the nauseatlng and re
pellsHt stages Of foul liberation to comparative
recovery, l have necessarily strong bellef IN
the efficacy of his methods And as 1 have had
considerable personal experience and some prac-
teal knowledge on these and kindred subjects. L
regard il with favor and ask your courteous per-
mission to recommend the scheme, embracing
the island sanatorum and its governance ana
treatment.

Yesterday. in which it is provided that the Gar
of Russia shall select the members OF the
court to pass on the preferential contention ol
the allies The negotiations with the other
claimant nations are proceeding ana II is hope'
that the French protocol may be finished this
week There is a slight delay in drawing up tnls
convention, owing to the activity of the French
Consul at Caracas who has made certain pro-
posals to President Castro and thereby inter
fered somewhat with the work of the French
Ambassador here Mr.. Jusserand has been
empowered to draw up the protocol and as soon
as President Castro can be made to understand
the situation the work will proceed
Mexico's protocol is being engrossed at the
Stlte Department and will probably be signed
tomorrow In substance. it is the same as
that of the United States, the chief points OF
difference being that the Mexican convention
provides that the King of Spain. instead of the
Queen of Holland shall be invited to name the
umpire.
Baron Won Sternburg, the German Minister
here called on Secretary Hay to-day to ask that
Mr. Russell. the United States Charge dAha1res
at Caracas be authorized to care for German
interests pending the arrival of Herr Peldra m,
the newly appointed minister to Venezuela, VINO
is nastening to his post. Mr. Russell is already
looking after German interests in venezuela,
but his new functions are considerably enlarged
owing to the resumption of diplomatic relations
between Germany and Venezuela Secretary
Hay at granted the request. and lnstruc-
tions were forwarded to Mr.. Russell.
The protocol for the commission to adjudicate
the claims of the Netherlands was finished to
day. The name of the umpire remains to be
inserted and this will be done soon as a
selection has been made.

priation of SS4603 to satisfy the decree of the

Of Admiral Dewey and others account Of
the sinking Of Spanish vessels in the battle Of
Manila Bay, which afterward raised and
converted TO One-half of the money decreed
goes to Admiral Dewey and the officers and men
under his command, and the other half to the

ton is made in order to enable compliance with
the opinion of the court delivered Monday. In
his letter Attorney General Knox says:
Nearly five years have passed since the battle
of Manila Bay, and the persons entitled to prize
money, including the widows and children of
officers and Of the navy who have died since
the battle have been waiting all this time If

amount due can be computed speedily and pay
ment be made during the coming summer. II
the appropriation is postponed until the next

is justly due will be compelled to wait year
longer-a delay which. if it can be in any way
avoided, would seem to be scarcely consistent with
