MOUNTAIN FIRE.

The fire on Massanutten mountain
has swept down to the base, opposite
Edinburg, destroying several small
houses and much valuable timber. The
jewellers on the mountain side have
been forced to flee for safety to the val
lev, leaving their homes to the mercy
of the flames. They, however, had
sufficient warning to remove their
household effects and livestock. Their
small crops, on which they depend
almost wholly for subsistence, will be
badly damaged, if not ruined.
Heroic efforts were made yesterday
and Sunday by large companies OF men
to prevent the flames from working out
into the valley, where there Is long
strip of woodland, as we'll as a number
of substantial farmhouses. The latter
will not be in peril unless high winds
prevail, as each is surrounded by a
considerable area of cleared land. Vol.
unteer hre-hghtera are humorous, men
coming from miles around to help bat
tie with the fire.
The seriousness of the situation to
the farmers living in the valley at the
foot of the mountain is momentous.
The flames are destroying their wood
land and fences, and in many instances
working havoc to growing crops. The
flames did not advance much yesterday,
and are now under control.
Edinburg, a town OF 1000 popula-
ton, is only mile away from the
flames, but the Shenandoah river and
a narrow strip of cleared land inter
vene, and the people are not yet ap-
prehensiye for the safety of their homes
North of tho gap the flames have
worked their way to q point opposite
Woodstock. The fire has run along in
a zigzag fashion near the top of the
mountain. In some places it has eaten
its way towards the valley, and the
people living along the base are greatly
alarmed for fear it will ravage their
homes.
The fire haa done great damage in
the Fort Valley, which lies between
the Masssnutten and Page mountains.
1t began on the latter, and swept across
the narrow valley, destroying every
thing in lis path. Several houses mar
rowly escaped destruction.
On the North mountain little fire is
to be seen from Woodstock, owing to
the fact that it has worked its way to
tie west side Forseveral days the val
lev has been filled with smoke. The fire
presents thrilling spectacle at night
A heavy downpour of rain only will
save great quantities OF timber on both
the North and Massanutten mountains
from destruction.

Explosion and loss Of Life.

Philadelphia, April 25-An explo-
sion which resulted in the loss Of al
least two lives, perhaps meny more,
injured thirty people and wrecked all
The property on Callowhill street, be
tween Ord and 9th streets, occurred
at S:45 o'clock this morning. Without
warning the crash came, and, with a
deafening report, the entire front OF
the chewing gum factory Of Frank b.
Fleer & Co., shot out into the street
while the roof and upper floors were
precipitated into the basement. About
400 girls were employed in the factory
Windows and doors in the vicinity
were smashed by flying debris. Al
alarm Of fire was turned in, followed
by ambulance calls. Two bodies were
quickly taken from the ruins to the
morgue and the injured were hurried
to the hospitals. Nearly everybody in
the block at the time of the explosion
was cut by the falling bricks or flying
glass, and the ambulance surgeons
found plenty Of work. Nearly all the
residents in the block are of the work
ing class and the loss will fail particn-
larly heavy on them. Not house in
the block escaped damage. The
property loss amounts to from 100000
TO 100000.
The ruin and fire was caused by an
explosion of the benzine in the labor
atory at Nos. 2343 and 2345 CallowhiIl
street, which supplies with chemicals
the Fleer factory. The rush of am
hulances to the scene caused the Wild
est excitement and the carrying out Of
wounded and Frustrated persons from
houses precipitated another panic, and
it was necessary for the police to use
their clubs at times to keep frantic
men and women from breaking through
the fire lines and surging over the ruins.

AFTER THE FILIPINOS.

A dispatch from Manila says General
Hale's forces yesterday advanced from
near Malolos to a position 4 quarter OF
q mile from Calumpit. A battle is eX-
sscted at that point. Gems. Lawton
and Maca..hur are both moving in
different directions a2on Calumpit.
Prisoners captured by Gen. Hale'5
troops say Aguinaldo and General
Luna are st Calumpit with q great
force OF Filipino troops.
Before daylight the Fourth Cavalry,
with three guns of the Utah battery,
the Nebraska regiment and the Iowa
regiment, under General Hale, pro
ceeded in the direction OF kulnchua'
where the Tibabag river is fordable.
The troops crossed the river without
much difficulty. Generals Macarthur
and Wheaton, with the Montana regl-
mept. advanced to the left Of the rail
road and the Kansas regiment moved
forward to the right, north OF Maic!!nS.
They had with them long supply
train. with two armed cars IN front car
ryipg two GatliDgs and Colts rapld-fire
guns. and the 6-pounder which did such
execution st the capture OF Malolos.
The insurgents attempted to destroy
the railroad outside of Calumpit, and
succeeded in badly warping the iron
framework. Assoon as the soldiers left
the old Filipino capital of Malolos the
natives began flocking in.
Our army is compelled to abandon all
towns when an onward movement Is
commenced, because of insufficient men
to garrison them. This gives the Fill
pino leaders framework upon which
to spin stories OF American defeat.
The American commanders have lett
great stores of rice at Malolos, which
thew had been distributing to the ma
tives and Cinnamon daily, of whom
there were two hundred to three hun
dred, nearly all of whom remained dur,
ing the occupation, but VINO followed

TO-DAY'S T,ELEGRAPHIC NEWS
Decisive Results Expected.

Washington, April pa dispatch
from General Otis, dated Manila, April
% received at the War Department this
morning, states that Hale's brigade of
MacArthur's division moved down the
right bank Of the Quinque river yes
terday to the vicinity of Calumpit and
has been joined by Wheaton's brigade
on the left bank. Hale encountered
fierce opposition, driving the enemy
with heavy loss and taking his intrench-
ments in flank. Hale's casualties were
six killed and twelve wounded. The
division has now invested Calumpit,
which will be taken today. Lawton,
with q part of his command, will reach
Norvagary this evening where he will
be joined by the centre column from
Bocave. Extreme heat, rain, high
streams and bad roads have made the
march very difficult. Lawton has not
met with opposition since leaving Nova
liches, the enemy retiring in his front.
South of and near Manila the enemy
have force of 4, 900 making demonstra-
tons daily. They can easily be taken
care OF as tney chnnOG COlnHunicale
with the north.
The news was accepted as highly en-
couraging by the War Department, as
decisive results may be expected from
the fall of Calumpit. The work of at
tack will be in the hands of Hale and
Wheaton, who will drive the rebels out
of Calumpit, and Lawton is to cut of
the retreat OF the enemy into the north
ern mountains. 1t ell depends, how
ever, on Lawton's ability to reach the
scene in time. He is some distance
oil and may not be able to complete the
march. 1t looks more like an attempt
at determination than anything that
has yet been undertaken. The enemy'r
flight is to be checked and if they do
not surrender bloody slaughter, it Is
feared. will ensue
