About 6:45 last evening as Mrs.
Frank Virgins was lighting her
kitchen fire with coal oil, the oil ex-
ploded and the flames singed her
hair ard eyebrows and set fire to the
kitchen. Fortunately for the town
Mr.. Virgins was at home and with
the help Of John Craig soon had the
fire out. The wind was blowing a
gale from the northeast and had the
fire got start it would have swept
the town. The practice Of lighting
fire with coal oil especially in the
summer time, cannot be too severely
condemned. People who do it run
the chances Of burning themselves to
death and destroying the lives and
property of others. The INDEPEN.
DENT hopes that Mrs. Wiggins' exper.
fence will be warning to all who
use coal Vil to start fires.

for Swift & Co., testified to bis participa.
tion In the negotiations with General
Eapan to secure the army contract. he
understood that the seventy-two hour
clause applied ouly to the time that beef
was to be kept in the refrigerators on
shore. There was an especial understand
Ing with General .Sagan as to tbs twenty
four hour clause limiting the time during
which the beef could be kept out OF re-
frigerators, he agreeing TINT 1t should be
kept constantly under cover.
Mr. Barry related that on one day when
he was in General Eagan's office prior to
the letting of the contract the latter ccm-
planned Of the number Of people who were
writing letters to him concerning the
processing" of beef. The General had
then handed him letter from Mr..
Powell, OF New York VINO claimed TO
have process for preserving meat, say
Ing he mad shipped beef prepared under 1t
to points in the Southern States.
"It struck me-" said Mr.. Barry. from
General Eagan's behavior. that he was
disguised at the thought. He said hs was
depending on the refrigerated beef and
would only deal with those who could
furnish it.
After hearing Mr.. Barry the court at
3. 80 held brief executive session and
then adjourned until tomorrow.

and signal stores are well up with tho
hghting lines,
q ghe belief Is expressed at the war de-
partment that the Fllipinos are manu-
featuring tie ammunition that is being
used with such reoklessness. When sien.
greene was in the Philippines he went to
tho Fillpinos camps and remained some
time among them. His report to the
President shows that the Filipinos OBJ
tained large supply of arms and amniu-
milton when Dewey captured Cayite and
that they had here tUfoTe obtained sup
ply of Remingtons and Mausers.
General Greene also found that the Fill
pinos had established factory for the
manufacture of ammunition for these
rifles and this factory probably is furnish
ing u sufficient supply to the insurgents
The use of Chinese as litter bearers is
said to be deyics to save ou- own men
for the more serious work.
The Chinese carry light bamboo litter
and being accustomed to the climate they
can travel twice as far as an unacclimated
carrier.
The main point, however, Is that the
fighting force is kept intacL While the
casualty list Is sourcs of profound re-
greet in army quarters, 1t IL said TO ne
comparatively low considering the num-
her o. men engaged and the duration OF
action. This is accounted for by the long
range shooting of the Insurgents who do
not shoot at mark but In the general
direction of our forcss. While those stray
bullets do considerable havoc in our lines
1t is far less than the results of close
range volleys from solid ranks of insur-
gents in the open or from a considerable
number of sharpshooters.
War department officials say that the
position OF the Spaniards who were
captured by the Uaited States forces when
lighting with the Filipinos will have to
be considered by the President before any
determination can be reached. At
present General Otis has fully plenary
powers in the Philippines and the war de-
partment does not seek to interfere with
his management of the campaign in any
way. 1t Is believed. however, that until
the President considers the matter such
prisoners will be held as prisoners OF war.
The war department officials have no
knowledge of Prince Loewenstein, who
was killed at Manila yesterday. There Is
no record showing that he had authority
to be with the army AS representative OF
q foreign government or In any other
capacity. Ii was said that he had enlisted
in the regular army, but there Is nothing
in the war department to show 1t. Sec
