At Cananea there are two thousand IN

the situation, reports that the Americans
at Cananea are at the mercy Of the reo-

ammunition to protect themselves in the
event Of an attack. Telegraph wires and
railroads have been damaged by the reb-
els. and communication with the place is
almost impossible.

BOY DIES FROM L0CKJAW
Cut Foot on Nail-First Case in
Brooklyn This Season.

Frederick Bartedo. thirteen years old.
OF No. 1850 East 18th street. Brooklyn.
cut his foot on a rusty nail He died
from lockjaw IN the Kings County Hos
ptal yesterday. after every known meth
Cd 10 save him had failed. The little Roy
died in commissions caused by the work
ings OF the bacilIi Of lockjsw on the
nerves. This was the first case OF lock-
Jaw In Brooklyn this season. according
to Coroner Charles Pabst. who performed
the autopsy or the boys body.
DR.. Pabst said he hoped the case would
be a warning 20 those who receive cuts
on the hands or feet not 10 bandage them
carelessly The germ which caused lock-
Jaw. he said. contrary 10 the belief OF
many. would multiply IN an alright
wound
Now that the bathing season is nearly
over" the doctor said. thousands of
Gathers who have received cuts on the
feet from pieces OF glass or rock Will
bandage up these wounds tightly. Most
Of them will cleanse the wound and put
sticking plaster over II. This Is the very
worst thing they can do.
Although q wound may feel all right
after the plaster has been placed on H. Il
must be remembered that lockjaw does
not show its symptoms until after two
weeks have passed. The proper method
OF treating such n wound is 10 cleanse Il
thoroughly with tincture OF iodine every
dav and bandage lightly. This will posi-
lively prevent lockjaw. II the wound is
closed the germs will grow and breed un-
disturbed. II is peculiar thing that
wounds OF the extremities are more dan
gerous in this respect than on any other
part OF the body

INITIALS SET IN HIS EYES
Retina Constantly Mirrors Let
tiers of Child's Name.
rBy Telegraph to The Tribune.

Philadelphia, Sept. 3.-APhysicians at
the Jefferson Medical College are at
tempting to explain the phenomena OF
two initials constantly mirrored in the
retina of the eyes of John Dugan. two
wears old of No. 1922 North 10th
street. this city.
The initials. which are Of typographical
design. each quarter OF an inch high
are those Of the name decided upon by
the boys parents before he was born.
That name was John Dugan, the one
the child now bears. In the middle Oh
his night eve, as IL embedded in the
iris bv the hand Of a fanatical master
surgeon, is a reflection Of "J' in quar-
fer inch type. In the left eye Is sim
ilarly set his other initial, ID"
When the baby was born the Initials
were plainly visible in his eyes. Doc
tors who first saw the phenomena
scoffed. John Dugan is now more than
two years old. and the initials are
still there They may be seen even
more plainly now than when John
came into the world.
DR.. G. Floyd Phelps, No. 5000 Lans-
downe avenue. a member Of the JEFF
ferson Medical College staff, was dele
gated some time ago 10 investigate
the case. and to-day he fled his re-
port, which fails to explain the freak.
The child's eyesight is perfect and
his health is robust. His mind and
conduct are normal.
