EXPLOSION. OF POWDER.
Capt. Stewart, u. s. A., and Four Work.
men Killed and One Fatally Hurt.

WILMINGTON, DEL, April 29.-Five men
were killed and one fatally injured by the
explosion of a powder press at Dupont's
smokeless powder works to-day, at Car
neys Point, N. j.. nearly opposite here.
The dead are Captain Stewart, United
States army, powder inspector: Har-
vey Smith. Joseph Yeager, Isaac F'rient and
Amos Morris. Jr., workmen. A workman
named Russell was horribly mangled about
the body and lost the sight of both eyes.
He is not expected to live. The cause of
the explosion Is unknown. 1t occurred
shortly after o'clock. Owing to the secrecy
invariably maintained by those about the
works, but meager details leaked out. 1t is
believed that Captain Stewart and one of
the workmen were making tests of some
powder in the press mill when the explosion
occurred. The press mill was completely
wrecked and a number of valuable presses
destroyed. Yeager, Smith and Frient had
just left the mill. They and Norris were
instantly killed. Captain Stewart was bad
ly injured and died shortly after.
The noise Of the explosion could be heard
plainly in this city, although the Delaware
river separates the two points. In the vi
cinity of the powder works the greatest ex-
citement prevailed. The families of the
workmen fiocked to the entrance of the
works and made efforts to learn If any of
their family had been killed. The utmost
discipline was observed within the place.
Guards were stationed at intervals around
the works and it was impossible to gain
admittance. Physicians were summoned
from points near by and members of the
firm assisted I'm the work Of caring for the
remains OF the dead and affording the in
jured what relief they could.
At the same time they did all I'm their
power to ease the minds of the families of
the workmen importuning for news. The
loss In money Is not known.

NEW YORK. April 2s--An army of labor
ing men set the East Side astir tonight in
a demonstration to enforce their demand for
a day of eight hours work. About 1900
men, representing nearly every branch Of
industry, gathered at various points and,
after parading to their hearts content,
marched to Union Square, where a mass
meeting was held. In all eighty labor or
ganizations, mt ubers of the Central Fed
Grafton Union, participated in the parade.
Many speeches were made, and resolutions
were adopted that the workingmen and
women of the city of New York render all
assistance in their power. both morally and
financially, to all those who are endeavor-
ing to better the condition of their CO.
workers in reducing the hours of labor in
their respective trades.

BOISE Ida, April 29.-The action of the
union miners in the taking OF Bunker Hill
and Sullivan mines at Wardner is looked on
as very grave matter by the State off,
cials. Governor Steunenberg has been sick
in bed three days. and is unable to give Sc
rious attention to the problem, though he
keeps in consultation with other state Off
GERS. He has sent State Auditor Sinclair
north with authority TO represent him. The
Governor declines 70 make any statement,
but it is understood he is resolved to ex-
haust every resource in enforcing the law.
The enlisting of volunteers entirely wiped
out the state militia, but steps are being
taken TO prepare the remnants for service.
The Governor has notified President Nc
Kinley of the situation and that it may be
necessary to call for federal aid.

Trying to Gain Time.
NEW YORK, April pa dispatch to the
Herald from Manila says: 'In an interview
with General Otis at the former Spanish
governors palace, in Malacanang, the
American commander said: The insur-
gents thought that their position on the
river bank at Calumpit was impregnable.
There they made a successful stand against
the Spaniards in 1896. Our success in storm
ing their strong intrenchments has demor-
allied them and the people are ready to give
up the fight. AS to the emissaries who have
been sent by General Luna, my opinion is
that they desire to gain time. They say
that they wish to submit the question of
continuing the war or not to their Congress.

represent the Filipino people. I answered
that would be glad to receive emissaries
from the insurgent chiefs, provided they
came with a proposition Tor absolute sur
render. These were the only terms that
could consider. The emissaries would not
agree to this, as they thought 1t contrary
to the dictates Of honor. The emissaries
added that If peace were forced upon them

THE Filipino refugees are all gathered at

have been completed.
THE insurgents attacked the Americans
at Taguig yesterday, killing two of our men

quently repulsed by five companies of the

A JUNTO STATEMENT.
Propositions Alleged to Have Been
Wade After the Fall of MaIoIOs.


LONDON. April 29-Members OF the
Filipino junto here made the statement TO
the Associated Press to-day that peace ne
gotiations between the United States au-
thorities at Manila and General Luna were
unofficial in character. Luna, the junto as
serts, does not represent Aguinaldo's gov
ernment. 1t is further asserted by the junto
that secret negotiations between Dean c.
Worcester, of the United States Philippine
commission. and a representative of Aguin-
aldo have been in progress since before the
attack at Malolos. The following condi-
tions, 1t is alleged, were proposed after the
capture of Malolos:
THE Americans TO issue a proclamation
granting the Filipinos self-government and
political, ciYil and religious rights similar to
those enjoyed by the people of Canada; the
F'lipinos to control internal mercantile re-
lations and enjoy equal rights in the islands;
Manila to remain in the possession of the
United States until Congress decides other
wise; the American flag to fly over the cap
itals of the islands and in the most prom
inent positions along with the Filipino flag,
except at Manila, where only the American
flag shall fly: all vessels to fly the American
flag with that of the Filipinos; the Roman
Catholic clergy to be under the same ad-
ministration as in the United States; Span
ish clerical direction and Intervention to be
abolished; the status quo of rural property
belonging to the religious orders to be main
tained, without return to the ante-bellum
state of affairs; hospitals and schools for
merly administered by the orders TO be
handed over to the government, the orders
to retain only their present town property;
the secular clergy to retain their property.
The junto asserts Aguinaldo, in view of
these proposals, withdrew from Malolos. but
that General Otis's proclamation after the
occupation of Malolos failed to grant self
government on the proposed lines. This. 1t
is further asserted, caused the hostilities
