END IS A LONG WAY OFF
OEN. 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. (Special.) Morris Foley,
suffering from two bullet wounds and
cuts in the head, accuses his wife and
her daughter, Hannah Poole, of at
tempting h!s murder, and the two wo
men are in custody at Sheepshead Bay.
Foley says his wife held him while his
step-daughter shot him. Foley Is S
years old and a mechanic. He has lived
at Sheepshead Bay all his life and has
acquired considerable property. 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. They knew nothing more
about him until his body was found In
the basement.

SITUATION III HAVANA
GOMEZ'S MANIFESTO CREATED
LITTLE INTEREST.
"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

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 Iobs Is covered by Insur
ance. BANDITS STILL AT LARGE.

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.

Some statistics compiled -for the
Christian Advocate by Dr. H. K. Cart
roll regarding the membership of vari
ous religious denominations In this

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

of $0,000 and now number 2.800 ministers
or lecturers, 415 churchea or circles and

I never liked to hear a man speak of
tils wife as "the old woman," or of his
'ather as "the old man." It may express
.he idea of Identity but It always had a
narsh, grating sound In my ear. Borne
ooys of today speak of their father as
'the governor." When a young man la
first married, to say "my wife" may
make a large mouthful, but it Is so
nuch more respectful and cultured than
M say "the old woman." In speaking of
four wife, you may be permitted to say
"Mrs. B."

& few moments, then clap In the hands
until nearly dry. Spread a towel over
a pillow and pin the lace In each point
smoothly over it, letting It remain until
perfectly dry.
