WASHINGTON REMAINS MAC. TIVE WHILE AWAITING RE.
 PLY TO REGENT NOTE.
RUERTA IS SAYING NOTHING
Mexican Situation is Unchanged Ex- cept for a Proclamation by Huerta Regarding Mexico's Finances and Some Naval Changes.

Washington, Nov 5.--Waiting for word from Provisional President Huerta-this was the attitude of of ficial Washington today in the Mex ican situation.
 Administration officials still re. fused to shed any light on the last communication which conveyed to General Huerta the desire of the United States that he eliminate him. self from the tangled situation. Their attitude was that to discuss publicly the delicate phases of the problem might defeat the ends being sought.
 The feeling in the national capital is none the less one of tense interest, and especially as to what course will be pursued of General Huerta de- clines to abdicate. It was evident from those who talked with President Wilson about the situation today that he was calmly awaiting develop ments. He has told friends that he would continue to use peaceful means in an endeavor to solve the situation and would not be disturbed by pre- dictions of armed intervention
 The belief is general here that the problem is being worked out with eX- treme secrecy in diplomatic channels and that only when some tangible conclusion has been reached will there be any official announcements.
 There was no collective opinion. in official circles as to what Huerta s reply to the American representa-. tions might be. No one ventured pre- dictions and so far as could be learned no intimations had been re- oeIyed as to Hnerta's future attitude.

Crew Deserted Schooner.

Portland, Me, Nov. 5.-The prob Nelson, and three of their mates and the death of one, formed the story told today by the survivors of the crew of the Gloucester fishing schoon- CT, Annie Nj. Parker. The fact that their abandonment of the stranded schooner near Nantucket and the loss of life was unnecessary was not known to the crew until word reach ed them tonight that the schooner was in port at New Bedford virtually undamaged.

New Method
Of Curing Piles and Fistula as used by
DIR. TOEL,
The Chicago Specialist Now in Dallas

The routine treatment for piles as
used by most physicians and surgeons
is either to tie them off with a string,
or an elastic ligature, and let them
drop off by modification of the por-
tion tied. This method causes in
tense pain and often is the cause Of
blood poisoning, the products of the
modification being absorbed by the
system; or the piles are cut away
with the knife and the wound sewed
up over it. This method has often
the disadvantage Of considerable loss
Of blood from the enlarged veins, and
the danger Of blood poisoning from a
sewed up wound in the rectum which
is very hard to make antiseptic. the
faces passing constantly over it, and
even when sewed up, tearing a small
space apart and injecting the fresh
wound. The method of injecting
piles with carbolated oil and other
similar substances has, in a number
of cases. caused sudden death. the
oil globuleS getting into the circula-
tion and clogging up the blood yes
sells in the lungs. Injecting sub
stances that coagulate the blood in1o
blood vessels is always dangerous.
DR.. Toel has for 80 years used Il
method by means of electricity, which
avoids all these dangers.
The pile tumors are removed in a
few minutes without the, loss of a
drop of blood. As there are no open
blood vessels and lymphatic vessels
left to become infected there is no
danger of blood poisoning; the pa
tient is not weakened by the loss Of
blood as in a knife operation; there
is very seldom any pain after the OPP
GRAFTON, while the operation itself eX-
tremely seldom requires chloroform or
ether. which he uses only if the pile
tumOrs are extremely large and there
are very many of them.
The routine treatment for bleeding
piles and flat pile growthS as used by
most physicians and surgeons is TO
apply nitric acid in the fuming state
to the growths. Anybody can imag-
inc how intense and long continued
the pain would be from such a pro-
cedure. Aside from this. it Is hard
