REMOVAL OF STOMACH DOESN'T AGREE WITH PATIENTS IN AMERICA Chicago Woman Dies Promptly i and a Man.at St. Louis Will Die CHICAGO, Jan. unfavorable conditions the operation ofremoving the stomach frcm a woman, which was successfully performed In Zurich last September and startled the surgical world, was repeated yesterday In Milwaukee by Dr. B. J.

Farnum of Chicago, assisted by Dr. D. P. G. Hankwits of the Wisconsin City Hospital.

Mrs. E. Bestaln was the patient. The stomach was removed, but Mrs. Bestain died four hours after the removal of the organ.

Mrs. Bestaln was a sufferer for ears With cancer of the. stomach. November last an operation to remove the cancer was performed, but it was not successful as the cancerous growth formed again. She was still weak from the effects of the first operation, when the physicians decided that another operation would be necessary.

When told that It was the only hope, weak as she was, Mrs. Bestaln readily consented, and It was decided that the only possible operation which could benefit her was the same which Dr. Carl Schlatter bad performed. The physicians closely followed the Schlatter operation and carefully removed the entire organ. They found Shen that the cancer had not only affected the stomach, but that it had also consumed much of the other tissues.

This necessitated the removal of more llf the tissues than the surgeons thought necessary at first. They, however, performed the operation successfully, but An account of the weak condition of the patient she was not able to survive. A ST. BOUIS CASE ST. LOUIS, Jan.

Beck, a machinist, 46 years ot age, is the first man in the world to have his stomach temoved. He was sent to the hospital to be operated on for cancer of the Stomach. Wednesday morning the operation was performed. When the abflomen was opened it was found that the disease extended the whole length from the aesophagus to within one Inch of the pyloris. The latter outlet of the Stomach was entirely free from the disease.

All the stomachic vlscerae were removed. Then the pyloris was sewed to the aesophagus, making a complete and perfect duct. The operation was finished in two hours and six minutes. The fact that Beck has survived thus fax Is encouraging to science, but It is Impossible now to tell what the outcome may be. The patient will be kept In the strictest seclusion for at least ten days.

This morning Beck was conscious, but extremely "weak. PASADENA PASADENA, Jan. Correspondence.) At the meeting last evening of the Pasadena Medical society, In the office of Dr. Biiggs, the question, "Why do we have rheumatism in California?" was discussed.

LOS ANGELES HERALDt SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 1898 THE RIOTS AT HAVANA (Continued from Page One.) correspondent, who has Just made a Journey from Havana to Sagua La Grande, reports that not one sugar mill is grinding. Reports from Santiago de Cuba province state that many persons are leaving the towns to join the rebels. Two filibustering expeditions have recentlyl anded.one near Mayas! Abajo and the other near Sancti Splrltus. Both were met by rebels and escorted Inland. The Commander-ln-C'hiet ot the rebel army has ordered the following, whenever caught, to be court-martialed for murder: Benito Careras, Alejandro Olarlela, Eugenio Layo, Pedro Mora Leber, Gabriel La Torre, Francisco Garcia, Manuel Cabada, Pedro Rebau, Felix Cuevillas, Belario Alvarez, Ramon Mendez and Domingo Roldan.

The last named Is a naturalized citizen of the United States. In a letter to a friend In Havana, General Gomez says: "Let Blanco come to this district and he will have plenty to do. It seems to me that the task of pacifying Cuba with so many combatants to subdue Is Impossible of realization. Two hundred thousand men under a General who did not spare even the animals have been unable to accomplish it, much less can Blanco do it when he has no larger an army and no greater ability." OFFICIAL ADVICES WASHINGTON, Jan. As no further advices were received up to noon today, It Is taken for granted by Senor De Lome that the Havana authorities have no apprehension and that the situation is quiet.

No surprise would be felt, however, If there were sporadic gatherings of groups in a city of Havana's size, particularly on Sunday. It is a custom of Latin countries for the people to make a holiday of Sunday, and the streets are usually filled with those otherwise engaged during the week. The customary outpouring of the people doubtless will occur tomorrow and may serve as an incentive for the congregation of groups, but It is said this would not be construed Into a popular demonstration, and no uneasiness whatever is felt. Today Senor Govin. a member of the Autonomy party Cabinet, arrived at Havana and this, also, It is may serve as a text for some vivas by the Ultras.

He Is regarded as the strongest man of that body.and for that reason his appointment has excited Intense hostility among the Insurgents and their friends. It led to a movement to Insult him personally as he passed through Tampa, according to Information submitted to the Spanish Minister. This led Senor Govin to change his route, making a sea trip by way of New York. He sailed when there last Saturday. In view of the movement against him at Tampa It would be no surprise to the Legation here If the same ultra element at Havana took his arrival as an opportunity for a similar expression against him.

REASSURING NEWS WASHINGTON, Jan. official advices from Havana, received by the Spanish Minister, Mr. De Lome.contlnue to be reassuring. A dispatch sent at 8 o'clock last evening said that the city was perfectly quiet. Another dispatch sent shortly after midnight and received early this morning stated that a few people gathered In the public park about 10 o'clock last night.

There was no demonstration and under ordinary circumstances no attention would have been given to It, as the park is the central public point in Havana. As a matter of precaution, however, the patrol of soldiers on guard asked the people to move away and this they did without de- monstratlon or the exercise of any force. By 12 o'clock the troops were back In their quarters. During the afternoon the minister was In receipt of advices from Senor Congosto showing that up to 2 oelock the city of Havana had been absolutely calm. Tonight's advices to the minister are that everything has been quiet In Havana during the day.

Luis Delgado, one of the leaders of the Insurrection In the province of Pinar del Rio, the minister Is Informed, has been assassinated by his people and eight of his followers have surrendered.

WILLARD MUSIC SCHOOL METHODS ARE THOROUGH AND COMPREHENSIVE Pupils' Recital Yesterday Reflected Great Credit Upon Mrs. Lottie Willard's Instruction Among the musical events of the week was the morning recital given yesterday (Saturday) In the Friday Morning club rooms by the junior pup.ls of the WillarU Music school. At the time set for the recital, the club rooms were well filled, as Mrs.

Wlliard'B musical work is well known in Los Angeles. The hall presented a very charming appearance, with Us pretty floral decorations, and the morning sunshine. The class occupied the platform, facing the audience, and the fair, sweet young faces that met the eye all wore a look of Intelligent appreciation of the work before them. In arrangement the program was admirable, was calculated to show the varying talents of the pupils, and also to bring out the many technical difficulties In the order in which they present themselves to the musical student. The recital was given by Mrs.

Wlllard's junior class, but these pupils were assisted by two pupils in the senior class. Miss Grace Hershee, vocalist, and Miss May Guard, accompanist. Throughout the program was very charmingly rendered. Each number was preceded by a quotation from some eminent composer, statesman philosopher, touching the power and influence of music. This was a unique icamre, and heightened the Influence as well as the Interest of the exerc acs, so carefully and conscientiously rendertd by each Part first of the program was devoted to preparatory work of the first, second third grade pupils, and closed with brief paper from Mrs.

Willard, entitled "The True Object of a Musical Education." The paper was comprehensive In Its presentation, and touched the Importance, not of the mastery of one's chosen instrumeni ilone, but the value of earnest, patient, persevering labor. Further, the writer held that the study of music sharpens the perceptive faculties and develops the highest part of one's nature. Each step forward gives wider comprehensions, higher aspirations and nobler 'haracteristlcs. The development of one's utent powers and the culture of all the -plritual and higher forces gives the musical education ltn true value. One of the very clever features of the morning was a little illustration of the nodern methods of ear training and writng music.

A dictation exerclsa was given from the piano, which was written the pupils upon the blackboard In musical shorthand. This was afterwards transcribed into orthodox notes upon the staff, living the correct time and measure. The pupils in this exercise were quite small, yet they showed a high degree of musical intelligence and much careful culture on the part of the teacher. Among the numbers especially enjoyed by the audience were the following: "Tllanla" (Lefebre-Wely), most charmingly rendered by Miss Gertrude Mathlason: also, "The Angels' Trio." "Elijah," by Misses Grace Hershee, Mary Guard and Lottie MeGulre. In this trio the voices a high degree of culture, and carefully graded modulation.

Miss Hershee promise of much talent; her Voice is pure, sweet and full of power. She has been under Mrs. Willard's training for a long time, and gives evidence of thorough intelligence and conscientious care. All of Mrs. Willard's pupils have been with her from the beginning of their musical work, and In their painstaking efforts show her ability and culture.
