Special to The Ne,os.
New Orleans, Aug. S.-The steam
ship Hornet, which left here last week
with arms and ammunition for Es-
trada, was expected by her owners
and others interested in her voyage
to Bluefields to reach that port on
Saturday night UP to a late hour
Saturday night the Estrada consul
had not received any information
about the ship.
1t is thought that the Captain of the
Hornet took his ship to its destina-
tion by course which, though posi-
bly, longer, would be much safer.
Several ways in which this might
be done have been pointed out, among
which would be to follow a course
far outside of Bluefields and to the
south of that point, and then to ap
proach the city from that direction
instead of by the usual course.
1t is improbable that the Hornet
will attempt landing during the day
unless she is sure of the presence o
one or more United States gunboat
in the neighborhood.

during the past ten days, and in the
boil weevil districts the farmers want
as little moisture as possible, for they
are devoting their future time to pick
ing punctured squares, and will make
a hard and determined fight against
the pest throughout the present month.
That the boil weevil is steadily con-
tinuing its Northeasterly march across
the state, is shown by the discovery
of the insects in several PORTIONS Of
Leake county, fifty miles North Of
Jackson, and the pest will probably be-
come general In that section before
the close of the year.
Thus far the farmers have been
fairly successful in their war on the
pest, and In the communities where
the weevils are thickest it is believed
that they will make fifty per cent of a
normal crop on the acreage planted.

new EYE GRATED;
WOMAN NOW SEES
(Bu Associated Press.)

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. S.-One OF
the most delicate and dangerous oper-
ations known to modern surgeons was
performed at the Medico Chirurgical
hospital when a portion of the cor
nea, the transparent film envolving
the eye, was trepined from the eye
ball of a man employed at Baldwin's
Locomotive works. He had had his
eye permanently destroyed by a sill
yer of steel, but the cornea was unin-
jured.
The trepined piece was transplant
ed to the eye of a woman who had
been blind from infancy. One of her
eyes had been removed and she could
not see with the other, it being affect
ed with neonatorum, the cornea be-
coming clouded and absolutely opa-
que. The only possible way in which
her sight could be restored was to
remove the cornea and transplant
some transparent substance in its
place
This was done by the operation
above described and she left the hos
pital today. She can now readily dis
tinguish objects few feet away, and
the surgeons believe her sight will
gradually become stronger.
The operation was performed by
DR.. Webster L. Fox, professor of
ophthamology at the hospital, and is
the first of it's kind on record which
| has been successful.

rounds in 1889, and so strong is the
law that even the man carrying a
challenge from one fighter to the other
Is subject to one year imprisonment.
The law is section 1888, code Of 1906,
as follows:
"If any person engage in. instigate,
aid and encourage, or do any act to
further contention or fight between
two or more persons. and a fight COM
monty called ring or prize-fght, or
shall send or publish challenge or
acceptance of challenge for such
contention or fight, or carry or deliver
such challenge or acceptance, OF train
or assist any person in training or pre-
pairing for such contention or fight,
he shall, on conviction, be punished
by Imprisonment in the penitentiary
not less than one year, or by fine of
not less than 800 nor more than 5000,
or Imprisonment in the county Jail not
less than thirty days nor more than
, six months, or by both such fine OF
Imprisonment"
1t is not probable in the face of the
law, that Estrada and Morris will at
tempt to meet in the ring in Missis
sippi. There have been glove contests
at Gulfport and Biloxi in recent years
but Chief Allen says there will b.
