(Copyright, loon, by Press Publishing CuO
DUBLIN, April 7. (New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram.) Tho curiosity
and excltotncnt caused by the queen's visit
to Dublin Is quickly disappearing. A crowd
mainly mado up of women, children and the
unemployed gathers dally around the Vice
recal lodgo to get a chance to see hor
majesty, and bunting, somewhat bedraggled
by rain, still floats over the principal thor
oughfares, but tho excursionists who flocked
hero from all parts of Ireland for tho queen's
arrival have now gono home and Dublin Is
resuming Its normal nspect. Whenever tho
queen has driven abroad she has found tho
same respectful aloofness ns on hor entrance
Into Dublin. The notion that anything has
been accomplished by this visit toward con
ciliating the Irish or diminishing the feel
ing of tho masses with respect to llrltlsh
rule Is the wildest absurdity. On .tho con
trary tho peoplo believe that tho queen's
presence Is only a prelude to somo Important
concession to tho Irish nationalists' demands
and undoubtedly If that expectation is dis
appointed tho visit will bo 'regarded as an
empty compliment, If not something like an
Imposition upon tho good nature of Irish
men.
Tho rumor that tho prince, of Wales In-
tends to make a yachting tour around the
Irish coast was mentioned today by tho
World correspondent .to a typical, shrowd
Dublin Jaunting car driver, who replied with
n twinkle
I
'Yerra, royalty will be as chapo as blaok- j
berries here soon, since they can't go any
where else without being shot it or risking
their lives."
Tho authorities hero aro acutely alive to
tho oxtromo delicacy of tho situation and
Intensely apprchcnslvo of saying anything
that might bo construed by the peoplo Into
making capital out of tbo queen's roccp-
tlon.
I approached tho duko of Connaught for an
opinion on the reception, but tho duke re
plied: "IIOYAL HOSPITAL, Dublin, April 7.
Tho duko of Connaught regrets that under
the circumstances It is not in his power to
nccedo to tho request."
Viceroy Cadogan replied through his sec
retary. Lord Plunkct:
"TUB CASTLE. Dublin, April 7. Ills ex
cellency much regrets that ho Is unnble to
occedo to your request, as ho fears that, In
bis otflclal capacity, It would be Impossible
for him to mako any public statement re
garding his Impretslons of tho reception ac
corded to her majesty in Ireland."
Lord Chancellor Ashbourne only permitted
himself to say:
"FOUR COUIITS, Dublin, April 7. The
lord chancellor of Ireland can only say that
ho thought tho reception of her majesty
most hearty and gratifying,-and that every
thing passed off with conspicuous success."
Oplnlona of Irlnliiiirti,
I havo received the following written opin
ions from leading Irishmen:
'"MANSION HOUSE, Dublin, April 7.
The qunen has had a very hearty, and cordial
rocptlon from the people of Dublin, who aro
vicing with each other to mako It so, rceog
nlztng ,tbat her coming amongst us was
purely nonpolltlcal In character. It Is fully
understood among all sections that our re
ception of tho queen in no way lessens tho
national demand of tho Irish peoplo.
"PYLE, Lord Mayor of Dublin."
"Avondale The visit of the queen to Ire
land will have a good general effect com
mercially and Industrially and will bring
tho relations botween Irishmen and English
men closer and on more friendly terms for
the general welfare of Ireland. John Henry
Parnell, City Marshal of Dublin."
"A pledge was given by the lord lieuten
ant tnat tbo vjslt. would bo private, That
pledge was promptly brokpn and tho visit
was turned Into a solemn stato entry, ac
companled by a state secretary and an Im
mense body of troops. No expense was
spared to organize a welcome. Thirty thou
sand Ilclfast men weru Imported and tenB
of thousands from various parts of Ireland
The working clusses of Dublin took no part
in tne welcome.
"Tho nationalists observed the advlco of
I their leaders by offering no Insult and hold
ng aloof, leaving the demonstration In tho
hands of tho Imported straimers. The Brit-
Bh press exult that tho Irish ouestlon Is
settled ty tho sunshine of the royal prcs
once. The queen affects In no way the
political situation. I don't 'believe It will
chango 100 votes at tho next general elec
tion. Tho people throughout Ireland did not
take tho slightest Interest, except to ex-'
press n strong feeling against thb national
ist members of the corporation voting an
address of welcome. They nre disgusted at
the attempt to Identify the shamrock with
the brutal Transvaal war.
"Tho best proof of tho national sentiment
Is that not ono out of tho eighty-one na
tionalist members of Parliament dared, even
If ho wished, to take any part In the recep
tion. John Dillon."
"Tho queen's reception has proved that
Ireland Is a nation of gentlemen, who can
be pollto and courteous, even to n lady who
for forty years has Ignored them politically.
Tho teceptlon means nothing. It will not
chango one vote. Tho next election will see
the samo strong nationalist party elected
to demand home rule. Irishmen don't forget
that 1,000,000 extra taxation must bo paid
annually by them for this cruel war. Wil
liam Redmond."

attend the fete In Phoenix park.
Tho streets wero full of picturesque pro
cessions of boys and girls, all the children
carrying small union Jacks, probably for
tho first time In their lives. They were In
charge of priests, sisters and teachers.
During the afternoon her majesty drove
from tho vlco regal lodge to Phoenix park
and tovlowed tho children. It Is estimated
that from S5.000 to 40,000 youngHters were
present. Thero was a remarkable demon

i was occupied by tho lady mayoress and
! others. A little girl presented the queen
with a bouquet, to which a card was at
tached bearing tho Inscription:
"To our holovcd queen, from tho children
of Ireland, queen's day, April 7. 1000."
After driving up and down the lino several

a bouquet composed of lilies of the vnlloy
and violets, In n basket of shamrocks,
which was presented to her. Hy special

At 4 o'clock tho queen and princess, ac
companied by ii small escort of police, drove
outsldo of Phoenix park Into the country
near Dublin. Tho weather was delightfully
springlike nnd tho royal landau stopped nt
various points to permit her majesty to
view tho Dublin mountains, which wero
bathed In sunlight. The royal party re
turned to the viceregal lodgo nt 5:30 p. in.

DUI1LIN, April 7 Commenting upon tho
seliuro of tho United Irishman, the Dub
lin Independent condemns the action of tho
authorities as "stupid nnd Inopportune." It
says: "Looking through tho Issue we find
many coarse nnd Insolent references to the
queen and lord lieutenant, which no one
with tho Instincts of a gentleman could at
tempt to defend, but, abusively offensive
ns they are, they afforded no Justification
for suppression."
Tho Freeman's Journal remarks: "The
castlo has again acted with its usual gross
stupidity. Such unwarrantable Interference
with tho press without a trial or wnrnlng
would never be attempted or tolerated In
England. Tho castlo authorities deem tho
queen's visit an auspicious moment to em

WASHINGTON, April 7. It Is said at the
Stato department that nothing has been
heard from United Stales Minister Conger
within tho last few days to Indicate any
substantial chango in the ultuatlon in Shan
Tung. Tho minister has not Informed thu
department of tho reported concerted action
of tho representatives of tho forolgn powers
nt Pekin. It is known here that so far aa
tho United States minister Is concerned
nothing has twen done hy him to commit
tho United States government to action In
combination with tho powers.
Mr. Ccngcr'u Instructions enable him to
mako as strong a representation as he may
deem necessary of the deslro of this govern
ment that full protection should be extended
to American residents in China. It was
entirely competent for him to couch tlii
demand in strong language and even to In
timate the Intention of tho United State
government to undertake through Its own
agencies to supply tho needed protection to
our citizens should the Chinese government
fall tu Its duty In that matter, in doing
this Mr. Conger might havo acted In pre
cisely tho samo lino as representatives of
somo of tho great European powers at
Pekln, but the officials are confident that ho
did not become a party to any concert of
action.
Tho United States minister was upeelflcally
Instructed on this point that ho must act on
his own responsibility and, whllo his course
might Ho parallel to that followed by the
other ministers rosldent In Pekln, ho must
under no clrcumstanccH Join with them In a
concert.
Just how far the minister has gono In the
direction Indicated Is at present unknown
here. Tho naval officers do not bcllcvo
that ho has yet summoned a naval
forco fro Admlrul Watson's com
mand to guard his legation at
Pekln, for In such case they assume that
the naval commander addressed would havo
notified tho Navy department by cable. Tho
minister appear, to have anticipated the ne
cessity for something of tho kind, however,
for a month ago he suggested to the State
department tho expediency of having n war
ship from Admiral Watson's fleet sent to n
point as near Pekln as possible. Tho Wheel

to Taku, which lim at tho mouth of the

Why We Make So ;
Many Cures. '
In the cure of certain special disease there can bo no omparlson between the
success of the ordinary medical specialist mid that of the Klei tro Medical SpeclallHts
of tills Institute, who use our own perfected system of Eleetrn-.Medleiil I routine ill.
The difference ls.hln. these Electro-. Medical SpeclallHts use the powerful curative fac
tors of both tnedleat and electrical triMtliient. while tin medical specialist can omy
use only the half or medlcul part. It Is a well known fact Hint the mi'illcal special
ist can cure only a curtain per cent of cases, while the electrical specialist also, can
cure only u certain per cent. Now the electro-medical speclnllHts of this Instltiile
have scientifically and successfully combined the curative factors of both tho medical
and electrical trciitmervt tiy means of which they o.in euro promptly and thoroughly,
diseases Hint cannot be even benefitted by the medical specialist or electrical treat
ment used separately. . .
Many thousand happy men todny gladly teitlfv to tho truth of tho above jdauM
ble statement, who had tried tho niodlnil specialist without siloooss. It Is the twen
tieth century treatment. There nro two fundamental dyHtoms that make up the
human body, namely, tho nervous system, and tho musvular system, each of which
Is susceptible to various diseases. Disease of tho muscular Hstuiu aro most benellttcd
by medical treatment, while diseases of the nervouc system aro most benefited
by electrical treatment.
There are n few diseases of tho nervous system which aro not sooner or later
complicated with disease of the muscular system, and vice versa. In such cases a
euro cannot be effected without tho combined elect rn-tnodleal tteatluint.
Uf DlilUR -The sick are cautioned that certain medical specialists, havlnt;
imnilllll learned of our great success, aro attempting to copy our Elect ro-Mcdl-

tiago, convicted of the murder, In October,
1808, of Prudcnclo Mendcu), at Yuuco, after
criminally assaulting the wife and daugh
ters of their victim, who were compelled
to danco about tho corpse, wcro executed
today by tho garrotc. during the early fore
noon In this city at a spot about a mile
from tho jail.
nusltiers whs suspended nml large hut
orderly crowds lined the streets and sur
rounded the elovatcd platform upon which
tho execution took place. The policing was
perfect. A company of Infantry was held
in tho vicinity, but Its presence vn un
necessary. Tho doomed men, manacled and attended
by priests, receive;! visitors during the last
twenty-four hours. They slept but little
and smoked niid talked much. Tho father
of tho Pacheco brothers visited bin sons
and tho sentencing Judges, who wero pres
ent, wore compelled to turn awoy from the
scene.
The owners of public coaches having re
fused tho use of their vehicles, two-wheeled
corts, each drawn by one horse, were used
to carry tho condemned men to the place
of execution. Each man had a cart to him
self and was accompanied by a prlet. Tho
executioners headed tho procession.
FIkIHm with Ills KxooiitlnnorM,
The condemned pien were manacled hands
and feet nnd woro black caps and robes,
which wcro adjusted upon thorn by the chief
executioner, who told tbo men to be bravo
and reminded them that It was not a per
sonal matter with h'm, but simply tho
carrying out of tho law. Etlgenlo Rodriguez
resisted the executioners, and In the scuflle
hLi clothing was torn. Hcforo ho was sub
dued flvo oiriccrs were required to over
power him. Ho addressed tho crowds on
his way to tho platform, declaring his In
nocence and blaspheming and cursing every
one In splto of tho efforts of the priests.
Tho women attending the routo of the
procession walled and wept as the con
demnod went by. A halt was made near the
platform and tho carts proceeded singly to
tho steps. Some of tho condemned men
walked up, but other had to bo carried to
tho platform, whero they wore seated and
bound with tholr backs to tho posts. As tho
executioner tightened the Fcrew rapidly the
bodies twitched for two or throe minutes
and then all was over. Tho last body
slipped froitn Us fastenings and fell to tho
floor an hour after tho execution. Tho othor
bodies remained In position on the platform
for tbruo hours.
Thousands of people, unmoved, viewed tho
spectacle and heard tho speeches of the
condemned men from tho platform, but they
refused to bear tho speech of tho execu
tioner, who coolly paced tho platform. Tho
Pacheco brothers kissed each other farowcll
Just before tbo execution.
Thn people of this placo censure tho
American authorities for permitting tho
Spanish mode of execution, although they
favored tho death penalty being Inflicted.
Tho crowds dispersed In un orderly man
ner after the execution and tho biulnoss
houses wero reopened.

SAN FRANCISCO. April 7. Honolulu ad
vices, dated Morih 31, received by the Doric,
are as follows:
It Is estimated that the cost of fighting tho
plague will reach at least $2,000,000, a largo
part nf theso expenses having been Incurred
In finding homes for the peoplo who were
burned out by the fire, particularly tho
great conihigratluii on January-SO.
Heavy expense has been Incurred in build
ing the detention camps that havo been put
up and for provislotiH for tho peoplo kept In
them. The salaries of physicians, at JJf.O
per month, also mako up a considerable part
of the pay roll, and there havo been a num
ber of paid Inspectors, fumlgators, heads of
department!, etc.
Eight hundred JnpnucHo residents of Hono
lulu, who wero burned out In tho Chinatown
lire on January HO, havo petitioned the gov
ernment to exempt them from taxco for
tho year 1900. It Is doubtful if th- request
will bo granted, for so to do would be to
open tho way for similar claims on the part
of some 10.000 Chinese am) nearly aa many
natives. Tho court of claims will consider
tho mutter next week.
This is the Hlxth duy In the present series
slnco tho Inst case of plague. The Hoard of
Health feels satisfied that tho end is In
sight. From December 12 to this date thorn
havo been seventy eases of plague, of which
sixty have died, nlno wcro cured and pno
Ih btlll In tho hospital, In it fair wuy to
recovery.
Tho steamship Moana arrived hero yester
