RACES by the Rebels.
The favorable outlook of fortnight ago
for peace in the Philippines has not con-
tinued, and reports come of renewed fight
ing, the Filipinos taking courage to pro.
long the war with the approach of the
rainy season.
A Manila despatch says that recent
events there demonstrate the need of a
much larger army without which it will
be impossible to establish American SUI.
premacy. Most of the fighting has beer
in territory which the Americans have
swept, but have been compelled to abandon
because troops could not be spared to holt
it.
Stories come of the basest treachery OF
the part of the natives. A party which
the cable ship Reconda landed on the islant
of Negros were fired on by the rebels who
displayed flag of truce, and the Ameri
cans were rescued only by throwing them
selves into the water.
Private letters received from officers il
the Philippines say that the Fiipinos show
no respect to the American dead. In on
instance an officer who was on the firms
line says he was shocked to see three
bodies of American soldiers, who had beer
killed in an advance and which wer,
brought within the American lines, badl,
mutilated. The ears and noses had beer
cut off and the hearts torn out. Othe
cases of even worse mutilation are report
ed skulls being crushed and tongues ant
hearts torn out.

Struck Dead in the Pulpit.

A Guthrie despatch says that Rev. II.
II, Baldwin, an aged preacher, was killed
by lightning while conducting religious
service at Fountain, in Dewey county, Ok
lahoma, one night last week. For week
he had been conducting a revival, and the
little church was crowded. He gave out
the hymns and led in prayer, and then
went to the Bible and gave out his text,
Then the storm broke. He appealed to
the congregation to lead better lives and
to feel spiritual calm after a life of sin,
the roughness and turbulence of which he
compared with the violence of the storm
raging out of doors. Just then a crash of
thunder came, while brilliant flash al
most blinded those in the front pews.
When they recovered from the confusion
the minister lay on the floor dead. The
congregation was in a great state of fear,
and the men in the audience, mostly cattle
men, feared to approach the body for some
minutes Meantime the women screamed

c. F. Parsons, who claims to be rep
resentative of the National Mercantile
agency of Hartford, Conn, was arrested
in Bennington Saturday morning. Par
sons arrived in the village about seven
weeks ago with a young lady whom he rep
resented to be his secretary. They went

soon had quite a number of merchants
who had bad debts on their books inscribed
as members of the collection agency. On
Friday Parsons got mileage books to the
amount of $25 on the Fitchburg and Bos
ton & Maine, claiming that he was going
to Hartford, Conn, and would return the
first of the week. He also borrowed &
dress suit case from c. G. Coles furnishing

Heir to 100000,

The Lyndon Union says: "By the will
of Miss Upham, late of Montpelier, who
lost her life in the Hotel Windsor fire of
last March, Mrs. G. B. Weeks is heir to
two-sevenths of the deceased's property.
1t isn't known just how much the estate
will figure up, but it will probably not be
far from 100000, which will give Mrs.
Weeks in the neighborhood of $4,000.
Mr. Weeks was in Montpelier at meeting
of parties interested in the estate, last Fri
day and Saturday. The bulk part of the
estate, aside from few legacies, went to
three persons: Two-sevenths to Mrs. Weeks.
two-sevenths to a woman in the West, and
three-sevenths to an uncle of Mrs. Weeks
in Ohio, who was prosecuting attorney in
the Mrs. George trial"

More Troops for ,he Philippines.

The Washington Post says that Gen.
Otis has informed the war department that
he will be satisfied if the army under his
command is kept at a maximum of 10000.
The President will give him this number.
When 1000 troops, now on the way, or
under orders for the Philippines, have ar
rived Gen, Otis will have an army of
$4,000 men. The question is now under
discussion by the cabinet whether volun-
teers shall be called for to recruit the pro-
visional army authorized by Congress, or
whether the regular army shall be still
further drawn upon for service in the
Philippines.

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
Hot Time at Coney Island.

Famous Summer Resort Baptized In
FIre---Twenty Acres Burned over In
the .,Bovcry" District, Including 900
RuiIdIngs---Loss ss5O.OOO with No
Insurance.
Coney Island had baptism of fire early
Friday morning such as it had never
known. In all 200 houses were destroyed,
% acres in the heart of the summer resort
section known as "The Bowery" being re
duced to ashes. These buildings ranged
i'm size and Importance from waboly
bathing "pavlionn TO the handsome i've
story Hvgcia Hotel and included theatres,
concert halls, dancing pavihons, stores Oh
various kinds, restaurants and hotels OF
every grade The fire made shelterless ior
n time a "native" and transient popula-
ton of about $500, including 800 men and
women classed as comedians and souorettes
EMPLOYED in the district, and silenced no
less than 100 pianos.
The fire was discovered shortly before :
o'clock. and was not under control until
$50. The fremen had hard JOB on thelr
hands The flames, famed by the sum
breeze from the sea, jumped from one no
tel to another, and rs water was hard TO
get the fire fighting force on hand was OF
little elect
Here and there in the crowd could be
seen men and women in scant attire, aud
that often badly snged, with their eyes
watery from the smoke, and their limbs
trembling from fear Fastening from the
places where they had sought nights rest
to the hospital door that was open outside
the fire scene.
More than 40 explosions marked the
blaze. Drug stores which had explosives
in their stock, helped along the conllagra-
ton. Gas meters also blew up, and the
escaping gas spread the flames. The dis
aster, coming as it did practically ON the
eve of Memorial day. blasted the hopes OF
many of the men who had hoped to make
fortunes at the island this summer.
The district burned embraces eight square
blocks, with an area of about three quarters
of a mile. The total property loss was
$3.50, 900, with a resultant loss IN rental'
and future business prospects of at least
100000 more. There was no insurance
on any of the buildings, the fire companies
declining to issue any risks on the ocear
side of Surf avenue.
When it dawned upon the liremen thai
they had a serious blaze on their hands live
alarms were sounded. All the reserve en-
gines came from Flatbush, Fort Hamilton
Bath Beach and Sheepshead Bay and 4
companies responded from Brooklyn. 1t II
believed that the fire was incendiary.
