HALL SEES NOCONCLUSION OF PHILIPPINE WAR. War Department Declines to Make Public Any Dispatches From Otis Regarding Situation. New York. (Special.) A special to the World from Washington says: The end of the war is a long way off, writes Brigadier General Hall, now on duty In the Philippines, in a letter to a friend tn this city. The letter Is dated early in May, about the time Aguinaldo was making his overtures for peace, and shows that our army officers had little faith In the sincerity of the request for peace negotiations. The war department declines to make public any dispatch from General Otis regarding the situation. He has been instructed to strictly censor all news and, to be consistent, the war depart ment has declined to make public any thing received from the Philippines. Even casualty lists are held up a day or two before being posted on the bul letin board. The department is pur suing the same policy as that for the month or six weeks prior to the at tack of the Filipinos upon the Ameri cans. Acting Secretary of War Melklejohn stated that while some advices had been received from General Otis, he was not at liberty to make them public, The same reticence is displayed by Ad jutant General Corbin. No dispatch has been received from General Otis detailing the situation for more than a week. The indications are that the department will now endeavor to conceal everything. No credence is attached to the Lon don report that Aguinaldo defeated Generals MacArthur and Lawton, FOUND DYINQ IN A BASEMENT Victim Asserts His Wife Held Him While His Daughter Shot Him. New York.

His family consists of his wife, Ellen, 47 years old; a step-daughter, Hannah Poole, and two little girls. The younger children, according to the wife and eld er daughter, were the cause of his In juries. A disturbance In the Foley household attracted the attention of neighbors and the police last night. When the offi cers Inquired for Foley, his wife and step-daughter said they did not know where he was. The house was entered by the policemen, who found everything In a state of confusion. In nearly every room the furniture had been bent and smashed. All the windows were bro ken. On the floor the policemen found blood stains which led downstairs to the basement. There Foley was found, seemingly dead, lying in a dark corner under the stationary wash tubs. Hit face and clothing were covered with blood. A closer examination showed that there was a large bullet hole In his head, from which the blood was still flowing. Another bullet wound was found in the man's neck just under the right Jaw. There were also three vic ious looking cuts on Foley's head, which appeared to have been Inflicted with a dull axe. The wounds bad evidently been made several hours before. An ambulance was called and when It ar rived the surgeon applied restoratives. Ttra minutes elapsed before Foley show ed signs of returning consciousness. Who shot and beat you?" asked the policeman. My wife Ellen and our daughter Hannah," Foley replied. "My wife held me fast while my daughter fired at me with a revolver." Where did this happen?" Here in the house," Foley said. They got mad because I beat the chil dren." Before he could say more the Injured man lapsed into unconsciousness. He was taken to the hospital with no hope for his recovery. The women both denied Foley's story. They said they had been shopping in Brooklyn and arrived home at 6 o'clock. Foley was drunk and had broken near ly all the furniture In the house and a half-doxen panes of glass in the win dows and was beating the two little girls. As the wife and daughter ap peared they say Foley threw a lighted lamp at them. Mother and daughter fought with the father and finally put him out.

"ha Lynching of Jose Lobregatth Chief Topic of Discussion Spaniards Foal Uneasy. Havana. (Special.) The fareweC manifesto of General Maximo Gomel ;xcltes little attention. The local pa pers have given It little attention In th way of comment and public feeling hai ipparently not been much aroused. The principal criticisms have been thos bom of a suspicion that the manifesto is not a genuine farewell. The lynching of Jose Lobregat, tht former Spanish officer, has taken al' the available space In the local press Most of the papers regret the occur rence, but are inclined to offer excuse! for the Cubans involved. The Spaniardt insist that the military authorHlei hould take steps to punish severely the perpetrators of the outrage in ordei to prevent its repetition. They alst contend that such occurrences consti tute the principal reason why so much :apital Is locked up In the banks ol the islands. They say the 8panlard will naturally refuse to Invest, for if th Americans withdraw they claim the life of a Spaniard In Cuba will not Ik ecure. As Illustrations of their argument ;hey cite the various strikes now In pro. Kress. Scarcely was the dock strike fin ished before the cab strike began, anc" in the opinion of the Spaniards such in jidents merely reflect conditions thai would be greatly aggravated but foi the presence of the American authori ties. For such reasons as these the Spaniards wish the military authori ties to make their power felt In punish ing the authors of the lynching affali at San Antonio, HEAT SETS OFF FIREWORKS. Thirty-Seven Buildings In New York are Wrecked. New York. (Special.) Thirty-six oulldlngs, comprising almost the entire plant of the Norlinger-Charlton Fire works company at Granitevtile, Rich mond borough, were blown up Thurs day afternoon and the entire fireworks plant practically wiped out of exist ence. Although the fires which followed the explosion lasted for several hours the wreck was complete within a few min utes. No lives were lost and but three per- wns were injured, two of them seri ously. The loss on the buildings will proba bly not amount to over $3,000, as roost af the structures were small and cheap ly constructed. The loss on material, raw and that make up into fireworks, will amount to over $30,000. The amount of insurance on the works is not yet learned. The first explosion occured in the rocket charging room. This was a small building about twelve feel square. No one was In the building at the time, and the first intimation the 115 em ployes in the works had of what was to follow was the bursting of the sides f the building, acompanled by an ex plosion. The roof of the building shot Into the air and the rockets flew In all direc- ions. They carted the fire into all parts of the works. - The operators in the various butld- in gs rushed out into the yards. The ftylrur rockets, the majority of them ol great power, made it as dangerous for the employes to be out of the buildings as It was In them. Explosion followed explosion as thf buildings flew Into the air. After a score of explosions, three heavy one that shook the ground for miles occur red. These were the three storehouse In which supplies for the Fourth of July were being held. Through flying rockets, burning splinters and balls of fire the employe rushed to safety. Only two were in any way severely burned. These were E. Ethuyster, a machinist, and Thomat Fox, a packer, who was badly burned about the head and body. Thoma Brown, another employe, was badly, though not seriously, burned. It was tated that the explosion war caused by the I lense heat igniting the powder. An explosion occurred at the manu facturing plant of the Pains Fireworks jompany at Greenfield, 1 I., and result ed In the destruction of the manufac turing sheds and a small magazine. The loss Is placed at about $25,000. The building contained all the goods ready for shipment. Several persons were slightly Injured out of the several hundred of people working about the place.

The average tnnual consumption in the decade of 1870 and 1880 was 752,000,000 pounds; In the next decade It was 1,320,000,009. Last year it was 1,580,000,000. Chauncey M. Depew says that when a man has grown old In the service of a ?reat corporation the mere fact of his years should In no wise be considered frounds for dismissal. "We have many imployes who have been with the New Fork Central fifty years. Think of that! When they turn the half-century mark we retire them with pensions for the rest of their days." A new departure Is being taken, ac cording to the Electrical Review, in the :ongtructIon of gas engines of consid erable size for the propulsion of electric generators In competition with steam inglnes. Gas engines of small size have been In extensive use, with good re sults, recent Improvements having brought them to great efficiency, but the larger horse-powers have been scarce. The Review, however, men tions a gas engine of 60 horse-power in direct connection with an electric generator, which has been In success ful operation for over a year.? It has a speed of 150 revolutions a minute and is of the vertical three-cylinder type. The cylinders are so arranged that, with each revolution of the engine shaft an explosion of gas occurs by the aid of an electric spark. As the load varies the supplies of gas are automatically egulated, with the result of obtaining fairly constant speed. There are cir cumstances In .which the steam engine s Inconvenient, and a practical gas engine Is a desideratum. RELIGIOUS NOTES. There are 42,893 Baptist churches tn the United States, an increase of 500 jver the number reported last year. There is a strong Christian Endeavor oc!ety of sixty members at Havana, jomposed of Cubans and Americans. The ninety-third regular session of the general synod of the Reformed Church In America will meet at Cats kill, N. Y., June 7. Dr. Paton reports that a Christian Endeavor society recently won a whole village tn the New Hebrides from heathenism. The Methodists, Presbyterians, Epis copalians and Roman Catholics each have a church at Dawson City and it la stated that all of these, besides the Salvation army barracks, are filled ev ery Sunday night. Of the $5,100,000 desired by the Wes- leyan church of England as a "twen tieth century fund," $3,475,29 has al ready been subscribed.

A letter containing ten $1,000 bills was recently left at the office of the American Board of Foreign Missions (Congregational) by an unknown mes senger. An accompanying note said the funds were to be used "by the board In whichever way in Its Judgment will best promote the interests of the Master's kingdom." Rev. Dr. Brlggs has chosen for his pastoral fluid tn the Episcopal church the crowded tenement quarter of the East Side tn New York. He was born on the East Side, In Henry street, when that pertlon of the city was "up town" and was Inhabited by wealthy and fashionable people of sixty years ago. It was because of his birth In that locality that Dr. Brlggs asked Bishop Potter to have him ordained In the pro-cathedral on Stanton street instead of In Grace church. Some statistics compiled -for the Christian Advocate by Dr. H. K. Cart roll regarding the membership of vari ous religious denominations In this country are of unusual Interest to churchmen. Dr. Carroll finds that there are no less than 148 distinct denomina tions In the United States, a gain of five since the last federal census. Only twenty-nine of these have more than 100,000 communicants, while twenty-six have less than 1,000. Owing to the looseness with which some denomina tions keep records the figures In several Instances are unsatisfactory. The Christian Scientists claim an increase of $0,000 and now number 2.800 ministers or lecturers, 415 churchea or circles and 70,000 members. The table gives th numbera of communicants Is each de nomination and shows the order of the first ten to be as follows: I Roman Catholic 8,421 301 I Methodist Episcopal 2,720,541 I Regular Baptist (South) l,r,7.2M 4 Regular Baptist (colored). .. .1.556,07!
