TELEGRAPH NEWS Epidemics Impossible. Cuic.uio, April 13. Professor V. B. Pratt and UogbAVightmaB, the elect ro theraquetic, and the, bacteriologist of Bennett col lego of tbis city, claim to have practically piovod witbla tbo last week that epidemics will be impossible in tbo futnro Tliey, claim tbat Asiatic cholera is no muru to bo feared tban olber acbes. and l!mt diptlioiiit, slanders and typboid must all yield to the new remedy, tbo Roentgen raye. The various germs were grown tu tubes in proper media. Mag netic means of force from tbo Crookcs, tube were patced tbrougb thetn. The application lasted two hours. Cholera was the easiest destroyed and appears to have been uiped out entirely. Dip tbcria lias been treated very tenderly and favorably, but after eight days bas faileu to sbow the slightest signs of life. There lias been no activity in the bacteria of tbe other diseases, and, witb certain modifi cations, tbe doctors are now ready to an nounce that tbe ray, properly applied will destroy any form of infectious or contagious germ. This is endorsed by the college faculty, and the entire elec trical equipments, the best in tbe West will be turned over this week for future proof of the discovery, which is now maintained to be a fact. Diplomacy Is Needed. Xkw York, April 13. A dispatch to the Herald from Madrid says : Witb tbe employment of a little diplo macy by the United States tbe impend ing trouble with Spain can be averted. Your correspondent is able to state this most authoritatively after conversation with the leaders of tbe two important parties in Spain. If tbe United States will approach tbe Spanish government in friendly spirit and ask exactly what conditions of autonomy tbe Spanish gov eminent will grant to Cuba before the former government recognizes tbe in surgents on tbe island as belligerents, tbe Spanish will meet such overtures half way. Senor Sagasts, tbe liberal leader and former prime minister, said tbat tbe Spanish government was certainly not trying to force a war with the United States. "It has taken," be said, "the utmost precaution to protect the lives and prop erty of American citizens in Spain since this trouble began, all anti-American demonstrations have been promptly stopped and no American, np to the present time, has suffered the least ham.' Italian Paupers. Xew Yoke, April 13. Tbe Herald this morning says: Tbe steamer Bolivia, of the Anchor line, arrived from Genoa and Naples yesterday. She brought 1376 Italian immigrants. Sir hundred of them were detained at Ellis island on the ground that they are likely to become charges. Of this number none bad more tban a dollar or so, while many of them were practically penniless. Dr. Sennersaid that only about 10 per cent of those de tained would be allowed to land. Tbe steam :r Ales is, of the Fabre line, also from Naples, reached the bar at 10 o'clock last nigbt witb 1064 more on board. They will be landed at Ellis island tbis morning. Tbe immigrant authorities are appalled at the great in flux of Italian paupers, ilore than 15,003 have already arrived, and Dr. Senner bas received advices tbat 15,000 more are about to sail from Naples. Dr. Senner is very anxious and is en forcing the foreign immigration laws to the letter, particularly id the case of tbe Italians, in hopes of discouraging their fellow countrymen, but tbis apparently bas no effect on tbem. Uc has been compelled to increase bis force of em ployes on Ellis island, and has freguently portuned the department at Washington to aid in relieving tbe station. Successfully Landed. Key West, Fla., April 13. The steam tug George W. Childs, which became notorious as a filibuster about a year ago, is once more in the service of the Cubans, and on Friday left Cape Flori da with an expedition for the island. The Cubans have been fitting out this expedition for some weeks, and it is one of the best equipped that has yet left the United States. The parly was com manded by Colonel Juan Monson, and there were 100 men in tbe party half of whom weie Americans. The Cubans have been etoring arms and ammuni tion on Cape Florida for three weeks. Many of the arms were brought here by steamer and then taken in schooners to tbe cape. The schooner Cora Lee took two cargoes from this place, and tbe Dollie three. The steamer Three Friends, of Jacksonville, which passed down the coast a few days ago, also left a lot of arms on tbo cape. It is said tliat 4000 rifles, 50.CO0 cartridges, five Gatliog guns and a large number of pistols and machetes were stored there. The tng Cbilds left here on Thursday, ostensibly to bring a disabled schooner to port, but tbe vessel proceeded to cape Florida, tooV the munitions and men on board, and sailed for Cnba. It is re ported she effected a landing on tbe I'inar del Kio coaet, being met by a de tachment from Maceo's army. Tbe Spanish vice-consul hero learned of the expedition and informed the United Slates authorities, who ordered a revenue cutter to look out for the Bit buster. The cutter proceeded to Cape Florida and sighted the Cbilds as tho lat tsr was making off. Tbe cutter gave chase, but the Cbilds, bsing yery fleet, was soon out of reach and the United States vessel returned to port. It is said the Washington authorities have ordered no seizures to be made except in the ma rine limits. Historical Events for April. 1SG1, 1-1 tli.
