THE KILLING OF CRAWFORD.
Considered In a Cabinet McetlnsGrnernl
Top Tldnlis the Mexle.ins Were Iteue-
pades.
Washington, Jan. 20. Tho killing of
Captain Crawford, In Mexico, by Mexican
troops, may lead to diplomatic complica
tions with Mexico. Tho matter was brought
to tho attention1 of tho President at tha
Cabinet meeting jesterdny. According to
existing tliatles the forces of each country
may cross the boundary lu pursuit ot Indians.
Since tho United S.tate troops have spent
perhaps halt their tlmo lit the mountains
ot Mexico in pursuit of Geronluio's band,
Lieutenant Maus who makes the report ot
Captain Crawford's death, says lie thinks
tho Mexicans attacked them, knowing them
ta bo United Stales troops, but did so be
lieving they could overpower them. The
Mexicans explain that It was dark aud
that tiiey mistook Crawford's command for
Apaches. It Is probable that tl.o Mexican
Government will bo asked for an explana
tion. Wasiiinoton, Jan. 20. General Sheri
dan yesterday received a dispatch from
General Crook, conlirinlng the report of tho
killing ot Captain r.mniett Crawford in
Mexico, on tho night of the litis Inst., and
a probable surrender ot Geronlmo and his
band of renegade Apaches. It seems that
Captain Crawford's command attacked the
Indians In their camp, about 200 miles be
jond tho bonier line In Mexico, aud
In tho in'dst of tho attack was sur
prised by a shower ot bulleti from
an unexpected source. It was soon
discovered that the attacking force
wascomposedot Mexicans who, whrn tho
fire ceased, said they had Inlslakm Craw
ford's command for Apaches. A parley be
tween the two commands followed, when It
was ascertained that Captain Crawford was
mortally wounded, a bullet having pierced
his brain, and tho commanding ollker
and five men ot tin Mexicans were
killed outright In the meantime tho
Apaches had escaped, but afterwards
Geronlmo came In and acrcod to meet
Geucml Crook on the bonier lino to mske
terms for a surrender. There aro twenty-two
bostilo bucks In Geronlmo'a baud, and It Is
expected that they will reaeli tho point
agreed upon by tho 4th ot February. Cap
tain Crawfurd did not regain consciousness
after being shot, but did not dlo until tliu
18 til Inst Ho was carried with tho com
mand for soven days. Ho was bulled at
SlacMl, Mex. Great regret Is expressed for
his death at the War Department Ho was
a very gallant officer and onooLthe best

eral Crook's rUlit hand man and has been

A MYSTERIOUS BATTLE.

Sa FnAXCtsco, Jan. 28. A telegram

11. It states tint tlio troops uudV Captain
Crawford on January 11, surrounded and
tttacked an Indian camp fifty mile south
east of NicorL A two hours' running fight
look ptaco and a number ot Indians were
wounded, but all escaped. The hostlles
then sent word that they wished to hold a
conference. While tho troops were In camp
awaiting the time for the conference they
-or alUcked by 151 Mexican soldiers.
Efforts were made to let tho Mexicans
know that the troops were Americans and
friends.
Csptaln Crawford and Lieutenant Maas
advanced to talk with them whereupon a
volley was fired. Captain Crawford was
shot In the hi ad and Mr. Hom, the Inter
preter, was slightly wounded In the loft
arm. .Iho Mexican fire was partly re
t trued by the scouts of Captain Crawford's
ommand hut only sufficient to keep them
a, a dlatance. 'lite flrlftg lasted half an
hour when Lieutenant Maas succeeded In
having a talk with the officer
lu conumnd ot tho Mexicans,
whose Captain had meantime been
killed. He was told the Americans were
taken for hostlles owing to the darkness.
Tho Mexicans signed a paper to that effect
Tho loss to tiie Americans by the unfor

tally wounded; Mr. Horn, chief of scouts;
two Indians, slightly wounded; another

says he believes the Mexicans expected to
drive the Americans off with their over
whelming fores and secure their camp and
effects. Captain Crawford died on the
181li during their march to Nlcorl, where
he was butted. He was unconscious
nntlt his death. Lieutenant Maas then
assumed command.
While the troops were en route to Kacorl,
twenty-two squaws entered tho camp,

MODERN SURQERY.
The Successful Introduction of r.leetfleit
Instruments In Locating; and Determin
ing the Condition of Diseased Hones
Motel Treatment of is Diseased Hip.
Krw Yonic, Jan. 27. The Introduction
of an electric light Inside of a bone In si
man's body, after the bone bad been
drilled, was a novel feature of an Inter
esting operation performed Monday after
noon at the Now York Post-Graduato med
ical school, on East Ttvcntloth street, by
Dr. Hamilton Joslah Kobcrts. It was an
operation to cure hip disease. A student of
the Burlington (Vt.) College slipped on
the pavement about seven weeks ago and
strained his left hip. Soon the pain be
came so great that he could not walk. It
was considered essential that the diseased
portion of the bono should bo removed.
He finally came to this city, and, In
the presenco ot a dozen physi
cians, Dr. Ikvbcrta performed a skillful
and successful operation. The young
matt was laid on a bed spread with
blankets In the opcratlng-roem, while on
a table-near by was a collection of steel
Instruments The patient, an Intellectual
looking man ot twenty-two, whose
sunken eyes told a story of enffcrlnjr,
watched his bandaged limb anxiously as
the attendants sought to place hlm In the
least painful position on the couch. Dr.
Forrest, his attending physician, without
a word ot ceremony, clapped a cone of
ether over We younp man's lace, ana
while he was Inhaling Its fumes and sink
ing Into unconsciousness Dr. Holicrta
cave a history ot Uic case and told what
ho proposed to tlo. From his examina
tion of the case he thounht there waa
suppuration of the tissues ot the cancel
lous portions ot the bone. This pro
duced tho painful reflex spasm ot tho
muscles, the head ot tho hip
bono was probably suppurating, ot
the cancellous itssnea Inside were rotted
and tho joint not affected. The first
thing he doctor Intended to do was to
introduce a small drill Into the bone
which would pick up portions of It and
taklns It out, the microscope would say
whether these pieces were diseased- The
Instrument for drilling tho bone, an In
vention ot Dr. Roberts. Is called the
clcctro-ostcotomc, and Is worked by an
electrical current, generated by a strong
primary battery or an accumulator. The
old style system of sawing and hacking
away at the bone, and plying the mallet
and chisel, which is slow and often
bungling. Is In striking contrast with
this. The clectro-ostcotome can
revolve drills, circular saws and
trephines at A speed of 12,000 revo
lutions a tnlnutJ. Five seconds is long
enough to saw through tho biggest long
bone of an adult, and In two or three
seconds the bones of children may be cut
In two, leaving smooth surfaces. The
patient having become thoroughly un
conscious, the bandages on tlieJcg were
quickly cut and a skeleton femur waa laid
over his limb to aid In picking out the
large tuberosity of the bono below the
hip Joint. The location being definitely
fixed, Dr. Roberts took his scalpel and
made an Incision through the Cesh about
three Inches wide, laying bare the hip
bone. A fine drill waa ottached to the
rlcctro-ostcotomc, and tho electric cur
rent from the battery sent It whining In
an Instant through to tlio head ot the hip
bone, about four Inches In length. The
drill bad scooped up pieces ot boue In

special says': The death ot George M.
l'almcr, Jr., twenty-two years old, of H3
Otter street, was reported to the coroner
Sunday. This Is thf seventh death which
has occurred In the family under peculiar
circumstances in twenty months. Oeorgsr
M. Palmer, ar., Is a baker, who has llvet.
tor more than twenty years at the cornet
ot Otter and Sophia streets. About May
1, 1881, one of his children died after u
brief and mysterious Illness. Since then
the deaths ot bis fire other children an4
his wife have occurred tn rapid succes
sion In tho same mysterious manner. The
sixth death occurred about the last ot
November aud was that ot a daughter. A
thorough Investigation was made by tho
coroner without result. The post
mortem examination shower'
that death resulted from,
Drlght's disease ot the kidneys.
Dr. Starck, the family physician, had
diagnosed tho case, which had symptom
tike those preceding lead poisoning. An
analysis of the water showed the pres
ence of lead, but not tn safflcle.it quanti
ties to produce the symptoms or cause
death. On tho occasion ot the sixth '
death, Dr. Taylor made an Investigation
and reported to the Board ot Health, He
said that the house waa healthy, that
there was no lead in tbe water, and that
be could not account for tho deaths. Dr.
Starck Is convinced that the cases were
all ot chronic lead poisoning, and that
large quantities ot lead must bare bests
taken, lota the system In some manner.
Palmer's business as a baker has been
greatly Injured by tha death. Many
neighbors think there will aeon be de
veloped a terrible case ot wholesale mur
der by poison.
