A CREAMERY BURNED.
8. A. McCammon loses two more
Structures by Fire.

Skt eShA' 90 ~ -" o.
A house and smoke house used
as granery and crib, since the burn
ing Of his last barn, the property Of S.
A. McCammon, were burned Tues.
day morning. In one was eleven
wagon loads of corn; in the other IS
bushels of good wheat and large
quantity of wheat which had been
damaged by the last fire, but which
was still good for feed.
Early in the morning about 6 o'clock
Mr.. Dave Dixon passed Mr.. Mccain
mons on the road and noticed a slight
smoke issuing from the corner Of one
Of the buildings, but supposed that
the boys might be rendering lard in
there. The family did not notice any
thing out of the way until about II o.
clock, as the buildings were about 800
yards distance from the house and
over hill, when one Of the boys no.
ticed smoke issuing from the build
ings, which were close together. He
ran to them, but it was to late to do
anything as the whole inside seemed
to be in flames. There had been no
fire in either Of the buildings for some
time, on account OF their being used
as above, SO there is no doubt about
the fire being of incendary origin.
The loss is in the neighborhood Of
$500.
1.-The general opinion concerning
the origin is that the villains who sci
fire to the buildings used punk, sort
of rotten wood that will burn for hours,
and even days before breaking out.
The punk is fred in the center and
placed in anything easily lighted but
no fire will originate from it until i,
burns to the exterior. This is the
only way the owner Of the property
can solve the problem as he can find
no trace of anyone being in the neigh
borhood after daybreak. The ground
was frozen, which made it impossible
to track the nan who dred the build

Under Sealed Orders the Speedy Steam
ship Puts tn Sea.
New York, May 2.-The cruiser Yale,
formerly the American liner Paris, left
her dock shortly before o'clock this
evening under sealed orders. The tugs
e. M. Millard and America assisted her
out of the dock, When the vessel
swung out from her pier hundreds of
steam vessels in the river saluted her
with whistles and number of small
cannon in the vicinity doomed contin-
uous salute for many minutes. The
big sound steamer Puritan swung out
departing cruiser. On board were
hundreds of passengers who kept wav-
ing salutes to the Yale with handker-
chiefs and small American flags On
the bridge of the Yale stood Captain
Watkins, her former commander, and
by his side Captain Wise of the United
States navy, her present commander
A Sandy Hook pilot was also on the
bridge to see that the vessel passed
down the bay in safety. The Yale was
kept busy answering the salutes with
her steam whistle and dripping her
flag. The Yale carries a full supply of
stores for an extended cruise and had
5000 tons of boal aboard. Late this af-
ternoon the name Paris was painted
from her stern and the word yale"
substituted in small black letters.

Emergency War Deficiency Bill Carrying
@35,72o,94s Passes Senate.
Washington, May 2.-Several war
measures were passed by the senate
to-day, and notwithstanding their i'm
portance, not one of them elected the
slightest debate. Probably the most
important measure passed by the SEN
ate was the emergency war deficiency
bill, carrying 5,720,945. Not more than
ten minutes were consumed in passing
it, that time being occupied in reading
the measure. Mr.. Hawley, chairman
of the military affairs committee, Sc
cured the passage of a bill providing for
the enlistment of a volunteer brigade
of engineers and of 10000 men in the
south, who are immune to yellow fever,
these settlements to be in addition to
those provided for in the presidents S
call for 125,000 volunteers. The men
will enlist "for war; The war revenue
measure passed by the house of repre-
sentatives last Friday was received by
the senate and referred to the finance
committee for consideration.

EARLT MORNING FIRE.
Barn of the Merwin Provision Company
Partly Destroyed.

At 2:15 o'clock this morning the West
Haven fire department was summoned
to the packing house establishment of
the Merwin Provision Co., on the West
Haven side of West river, near
Washington street. The large barn in
the rear of the packing house was on
fire The North End hose company
was soon on hand, quickly followed by
the Graham Hook and Ladder COM
pany. The fire was in the upper part,
which was about completely destroyed.
Eighteen horses were saved, being re-
leased from the stalls in great haste.
No time was taken to hitch them out
side and the frightened animals fled
in all directions. A car load of oats
and a carload of hay had just been put
in and were totally destroyed. The
loss will amount probably to about
$500, which is covered by insurance.
The fireme1 did unusually good work,
and but for their quick and energetic
efforts the entire barn might have been
totally destroyed. A large crowd of
people watched the fire.

1'RINITY,S PARISH MEETING.
Resignation of Rev. DIR. Douglass-He Re
quests That it Take Effect July 1st.

Resignation of Rev. DIR. Douglass-He Re-
quests That it Take Effect July 1st.
Every member of the vestry of Trim
ity parish attended the special meeting
of that body, held in the parish house
on Temple street, last night. The
meeting was held at the request of the
rector, Rev. George William Douglas,
to take action on a letter written by
him and addressed to the clerk of the
church, Edward c. Beecher. It was
thought that the letter was tender
of DR.. Douglas resignation as rector
of the parish, but the same was not
definitely known until after the meeting
of the vestry was called to order last
night, when the letter was opened. The
letter was short and courteously word
ed. 1t contained no reason for the ten
der of the resignation and simply asked
that the same take effect on July l,
1898.
The vestry had no power to take final
action on the resignation and they SIM
ply informally discussed it and decided
to call a general meeting of the parish
for Thursday evening, May IL, to be
held in the parish house. The meeting
of the vestry was secret, but after it
had been concluded several members
discussed the matter and expressed an
opinion tha the resignation should be
accepted as rendered.
A report to the effect that DR.. Doug
las had been invited to be special
preacher at Grace Episcopal church,
New York city, could not be confirmed
last night. Several members of the
vestry when asked about it last night
stated that they knew nothing of it
and as DIR. Douglas is absent from the
city he could not be consulted.

SIXTY MEN ENLISTED.
First Connecticut Battery Being Rapidly
Recruited.

Captain F. G. Beach was kept busy
at the armory yesterday and last eve
ming recruiting men for the heavy ar
tillery battery which he is raising as
a part of Connecticut's quota of volun-
teers. Applicants for enlistment were
many and as rule desirable men for
the service. Nearly sixty had signed
the application blanks at 10 o'clock last
evening. They are taken from many
occupations. Many of them have had
military experience in the National
Guard and several were transferred
from companies in the National Guard.
Several Yale students desired to enlist,
but Captain Beach decided not to draw
upon Yale for men till it was deter
mined what would be done with refer
ence to the organizing of a battery of
light artillery by the students.
OF the battery of $50 men which Cap
tain Beach has been ordered to raise,
one hundred will be enlisted in New
Haven and the remainder in Walling-
ford, Meriden, Waterbury, Winsted,
New London and other towns. Recruit
ing offices will not be opened in these
latter places, but the names of men de-
string to enlist will be forwarded to
Captain Beach. Major Townsend was
kept busy yesterday evening giving the
new recruits their physical examina-
tions. The office will be open for re-
cruiting to-day from 10 to IL a. m, 2:30
to 5, and 1880 to 10 p. m. The recruits
will be drilled in squads this evening at
1880. The battery will not be equipped
until it goes into camp at Mantle,
which will probably be Saturday morn
ing. "a
Colonel Burpee has written to the
captains of the Second regiment urging
them to keep their companies recruited
up to the maximum number and to
thoroughly drill the new recruits. He
assures them that their time is likely
to come and they must be found ready.
The drilling of new recruits for the
Second regiment and the Naval Re-
serves is continued every evening.
Captain John M. Milton, who has
taken command of the Wyandotte,
stated yesterday that he had received
no orders as to what disposition was to
be made of the monitor. He thought
the boat would probably be taken to
Boston, but he had received no orders
as to when or by whom she would be
taken there.
At the annual meeting of the Horse
Guard, last evening, John B. Forbes
was elected secretary Lieutenant c. G..
Bright clerk, ex-Major D. A. Blakeslee
treasurer. Major Ludington appointed
the uniform and recruiting committees.
Seven new members We're taken In. The
guard was entertained by the Foot
Guard at the close of the meeting.
Notice was received from Captain
Giddings Of the signal corps that the
resignation Of the members Of the sec
ton here had not been accepted and
consequently the division is made up
as before and the new recruits notified
that the division is full.

III ltdl SENSE attached 10 the spanish
forts. With this material on one hand
and the insurgents on the other, the
latter stimulated by the overthrow of
the Spaniards at Manila, it is probable
that civil war may rage on the islands
for some time outside of Manila prov
ince. 1t is believed that officials here
have not decided upon any plan as yet.
Supposing Porto Rico shall next be
seized, it would seem that Spain will
have little to encourage her in further
resistance, particularly as the fall of
Porto Rico would mean the loss to her
of her iron clad fleet should it cross the
Atlantic.
European Intervention.
There is no talk yet of European in
tervention, but one of the most bene-
fetal results of Dewey's victory yester-
day is that a deep impression has been
made upon the European powers, who
can now no longer blind themselves to
the fact that man to man the Ameri-
can navy is equal to any in the world.
There was no exhibition, such as was
predicted in the European press, of
weakness in the American fleet caused
by the fact that it was of heterogeneous
composition.
First Impression on Europe.
The impression produced is likely to
deter the European powers from hasty
intervention and the present indications
are that we shall be left to settle our
affairs with Spain at our own pleasure,
providing we do not get involved in the
eastern question through retaining
possession of the Philippines. 1t is said
that Acting Rear Admiral Dewey may
secure his promotion to the rank of
admiral through his splendid exhibition
of pluck, discretion and sailorly quail
ties he made in yesterdays engage
ment. The naval law does not permit
of promotion except by seniority, so
that it probably would be requisite for
congress to pass a special resolution to
afford him his promotion.
Foreign Representatives. Not Inform ed.
Although the British colonial office
had been fully advised of the Ameri-
can success from Manila, the authori-
ties in London did not communicate
with the British embassy here nor did
the foreign offices at Paris, Berlin or
other capitals notify their representa-
tives here. This is taken to indicate
that the foreign offices will not COM
municate events of a strictly military
character and also that the American
occupation of the Philippines has not
yet assumed political aspect. Late
dispatches state that Manila was be-
ing bombarded caused much excite
ment. 1t was said that if the town it
self was under bombardment, serious
complications might arise as non-com-
batants and the foreign colonies, it is
held, should have been entitled to at
least twenty-four hours notice of an
attack upon the town proper. If, how
ever, Admiral Dewey is combining his
bombardment to Cavite and other forts
no such questions can arise. The Span
ish reverse at Manila depletes the
Spanish navy at a time when it is most
in need of ships. With the burning of
the cruisers, Reina Christina and the
Castillo, Spain has lost two of her best
second rate cruisers.
