Baltimore, Nov. 12-Dr. Joseph c.

There are three nerves OF the face
said DR.. Bloodgood, (which are involved
I'm this pain These lead to the ganglion
cells, little lakes about as large as the
point Of your index finger, at the base or
the brain.
1T was the practice formerly, in cases
of severe chronic neuralgia, to cut the
nerve some distance from the ganglion
cell, but 1t was found that this was
usually followed by a recurrence OF the
pain within from one to three years.
What DR.. Cushing has done is to find
new approach to the nerve. Instead OF
going into the head from the top and
pushing aside the brain he enters the
skull at the base"

Kuno Won Weldon, a salesman still
employed by Barrie, was the first wit

Willets was "a good thing as he had
sold him books at Yale. He said Barrie
gave a dinner at a restaurant in Park

many books TO a Mrs. Mclean. Of
Brooklyn. Barrie asked Sewall how he
managed 1t, he said, and Sewall said ne

Weldon testified that Barrie told
Sewarl to give Willets the same game
Counsel for Barrie brought out that
Sewall didn't try to sell Willets the
most expensive books, and William
Rand, jr., for the defendant, asked
Won Weldon why that was not done.
That's what don't understand" the
witness replied. I've been kicking
myself around the block about it ever
since"
Mr. Willets on the stand corroborated
the testimony of Won Weldon as far as
he was able. He said Sewall repre-
scented himself as medical student
who had discovered a serum Of great
value to mankind. and IL he would only
buy his books Willets would be doing
kindness to mankind.
He said Sewall said that the books
could be sold at a great profit, and on
the strength of that the witness gave
the agent a thirty-horsepower auto
mobile and a diamond stickpin.
Sewall, he said. gave him some
household ornaments and several the

WILSON TO ADOPT
A MILITANT POLICY
Blockade Would Be First Step
After Breaking of Diplo-
matte Relations.
from The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, Nov. Il. - Action,
affirmative and definite, by the ad-
ministration in the Mexican situation
IS expected in a short time. The ma
chinery has already been set in mo-
ton with the defined object OF "elim-
mating Huerta." A pronouncement OF
American policy will come soon, Score
tary Bryan said to-day, and he called
attention TO the fact that he had
dropped the use of the word "encourag-
ing" in speaking Of the situation.
1t is obvious that the crisis is APP
preaching rapidly, and 1t is believed
that before the end of the week the
President will issue statement of pol
icy which will tell what has been done
and the course he intends TO pursue in
the future.
There is especial reason to believe
that this will be militant course.
If diplomatic relations were broken
Mr. O'Shaughnessy would turn over
the archives and business of the en-
bassy to a diplomatic colleague.
1t is understood that the Norwegian
Minister has been selected for this
purpose. Another report is that the
Argentine Minister will be the recipient
of the confidence. An advantage of the
selection Of the latter would be the i'm.
piled compliment to a Latin-Americen
power, and the administration Is more
than eager that Latin America shall
&, not misconstrue Americas action in
Mexico.
The establishment Of a blockade Of
Mexican ports. in order to cut of
Huerta's supply Of customs revenues
and of munitions of war. is regarded as
the logical step to follow the breaking
of diplomatic relations. This is re-
garded as more probable than the lift
ing Of the embargo on arms for the
rebels.
1t is possible that the crisis will be
precipitated by an incident which
threatens at Tuxpam, coast town in
the State Of Vera Cruz. the centre OF
the oil industry and the site Of great
storage tanks Of oil, British and Amer
lean. The situation there is regarded
as serious. although Rear Admiral
Boush on the ' .ttleship Louisiana re-
ported to the Navy Department to-day
that there was no immediate need OF
protection to American property in that
vicinity. He has assured Consul Payne
that the Louisiana will afford asylum
for Americans and other foreigners.
The American gunboat Wheeling is
also { ere, and the authorities on both
sides. federal and rebel, have been in
formed that they must not modest for
eign property. The American ships are
prepared to take action TO this end. II
is expected. according to the latest adj
vices, that Tuxpam will shortly fall in
the hands of the rebels. 1t is consid-
cred possible that the rebels will take
revenge on the property Of the British
oil concerns which are supposed to nave
been supporting Huerta.
