1t was Miss Bockefeller's cure that
induced the duchess to put herself in
the care Of DR.. Muller, who even now
has undertaken to cur her in six
weeks.
He says he can cure where others
fail, because the English aural special
lists have devoted their studies and ex-
oerienee exclusively to diseases Of the
ear, while deafness does not always
originate in Il disease of the ear. Null
ler's wide experience in treating the
nose and the throat helps him to find
other exciting causes, which he re-
moves.
Ills cure consists chiefly in inhala-
tons and the application of electric
currents.
The duchess does not look at all like
an invalid. Except for the two hours
which she gives daily to treatment,
she is at liberty to do as she likes. She
could not have chosen a worse season
to stay in Vienna, as open-air exercise,
even driving, is out Of the question just
now. She spends many hours a day
viewing art treasures in the museums
and in private houses, while in the
evening she sometimes goes to the
opera.

REBEL LEADERS TO SUBMIT.
Men who Have Wnged War Against
Netherlands for Years Reported
About to Give I'd.

New York, Aug. 25.-Private news
from Achin, says the Brussels CORE
spondent OF the Times, cabling by way OF
London, is to the effect that Panglima
Pollen and Rajah Keumala, who have
been for many years two chief rebel
leaders, will formally submit to the
Dutch In the course of the next few
days.
The colonial troops Of the Netherlands
have been at war with the Achins al
most continuously since the year 1873.
The cause OF the war was the refusal
Of the sultan to recognize the suzerainty
OF the Netherlands, over which long
negotiations took place. The sultan sent
a secret embassy to the United States
diplomatic agent at Singapore to APP
peal for the military aid Of this coun
try, and at the same time he dispatched
commissioners to treat with the Dutch
government.
Encouraged by the hope OF aid from
Great Britain and the United States, the
sultan rejected the terms offered by the
Netherlands. The war thus begun has
cost the Dutch over S200,O00,0 900 and
the lives of several thousand soldiers.
