NAPHTRA LAMP Ref cotton,
Lucid Imagination Transforms 1t Into
SpoOk

The mystery of an alleged ghostly
light in Mapledale cemetery, mystery
which existed In the minds of a few
small boys and in the imagination of a
reporter of Sunday paper has
been solved. The paper referred to
published yesterday story to the eff
feet that for the last few nights a
dancing, uncanny light had been seen
in the cemetery and that the light sur
rounded a wrath which did all the
things that spooks are generally sup
posted to do. AS a matter of fact the
light is reflection from
naphtha lamp at the rear of the ceme-
terry. The reflection of this lamp is
cast quite strongly upon the rising
ground at the Oak street side of the
cemtery.

COSTLY FOR THE FILIPIN0S
Reliable Reports Show Total of 37s
Rebels KILLED, Twelve Officers and 244
Men Captured and Many Wounded
Tho Weeks WorIk Probably Fintshsf
1000 OImsurgents--The American Loss
Light.

Manila, April 22--10:30 a. m.-Las
week has been one of the bloodiest oi
the war since the first days fighting
around Manila. Authentic reports
mostly official, show a total Of 37S Fill
pinos killed. twelve officers and 244 mer
captured and many more wounded. The
number wounded is hardly guessable
Considering that the Filipinos entirely
lack hospital facilities, great majority
of the wounded will die. Probably the
weeks work finished one thousand in
surgents. The American loss was nine
killed and sixteen wounded. Two SER
geants and one private were killed in
ambushes while escorting provision
| trains.
| The insurgents have been aggressive
in almost every province Of Luzon. Cen
eral Pic Del Pilar's band, numbering
three hundred, which was out Of sight
for three months, the leader being re-
ported killed, has reappeared In it's old
field about San Miguel. Pillar is sup
posed to be again in command. He gave
the American garrison at San Miguel,
consisting of three companies of the
Thirty-tifth infantry with Gatling, a
three hours fight during night attack
The loss of the insurgents in this en-
gagement Is not included in the fore
going total as they removed their dead
and wounded, but presumably 1T was
considerable.
Twenty Filipinos in the province Of
Batangas attacked Lieutenant Wonde,
who, with eight men, was scouting near
San Jose. The lieutenant and five men
were wounded and one private was
killed
Sergeant Ledoius of the Thirty fifth
infantry was badly wounded in an am
bush near Baliuang. Lieutenant Balch
of the Thirty-seventh infantry with
seventy men, had five hours fight
with four hundred insurgents in the
Neuva Caceres district. Twenty of the
insurgents were killed
Colonel Smith of the Seventeenth in
fantry, who captured General Montene-
gro and brought him to Manila, is in
the isolation hospital suffering from
smallpox, presumably caught from the
Filipinos. Colonel Smith captured 1870
officers and men with Montenegro. The
officers were brought to Manila. Mon
tenegro who was formerly one of the
most dapper officers In the Filipino
army, looks worn and haggard He says
he had led terrible life for months and
has offered to return to the north with
Colonel Smith to endeavor to persuade
his former comrades Of the uselessness
of opposing the Americans.
One hundred escaped Spanish prison
ers from the province Of Tayabas, South
Luzon, have arrived at Manila. The
insurgents have four hundred more
Spaniards in that district. Recently the
Filipinos destroyed several rods of the
line near Panique in an unsuc-
cessful attempt to wreck train.

KILLED WIFE AT CHBRCH Door.
Mad Act Of John Hughes of Syrncuse-
Married but n Year.

Syracuse N. r, April 22.-Johr
Hughes aged sixty years, shot and
killed his wife, Hannah Hughes, and
seriously wounded Elizabeth Lyons
aged sixteen years, as the women were
leaving st. Vincent de Paul's church to-
day. He then went to the house Of a
friend and attempted to commit suicide
by stabbing himself near the breast
with pair of shears. He was found
there by the police and arrested and on
being taken to the police station his
condition was so serious that the police
surgeon ordered him taken to st. Jo-
seph's hospital for treatment.
Hughes is said to have been erratic
in his habits for some time and some
of his friends ascribe the crime to in
sanity, although the authorities as yet
place but little credence in the latter
theory. 1t is learned that Mrs. Hughes
feared for her life as he threatened to
kill her weeks ago. He and Mrs.
Hughes were married about year ago,
but their married life was an unhappy
one, as they separated six months ago
and since then he has lived at a friends
house. Mrs. Hughes remained with her
daughter. AS was her custom she went
to ST. Vincent de PauTs church this
morning to attend mass At the close
of the service she left the church and
had gone but few feet when she was
confronted by her husband, who quickly
drew revolver and fired, the shot
striking Mrs. Hughes in the head, and
she fell in the street and Hughes leaped
to her side and fired second shot into
her brain. He fired three more shots at
her, but they missed their mark
Elizabeth Lyons was struck In the leg
by stray bullet while walking on the
opposite side of the street. Her injury
is not considered serious She is the
daughter Of John H. Lyons, a promi-
men box manufacturer Hughes started
to leave the place with the revolver in
his hand. The crowd followed him,
throwing stones and he turned num-
Der of times threatening to shoot. He
entered his friends house and stabbed
himself over the heart three times with
shears. He was caught there by the
police and arrested after a struggle.

CIRCUS EPHANT KILLED.
Strangled to Death i'm an Attempt to
Eubhuc Him.

New York, April 22.-"Dick," a vi
cious elephant belonging to the Sells &
Forepaugh circus, was strangled to
death in Madison Square Garden to-day
ligerent disposition. According to a
member of the circus it was not intend
ed to destroy him. Dick was one of the
eight original Forepaugh dancing ele-
plants and was trained by Adam Fore
paugh, jr., nearly twenty ears ago. I'm
til last winter he was one of the most
consistent performers in the circus, but
a few weeks ago, in Columbus, O., while
preparations were being made to bring
the show to this city, he began showing
a rebellious disposition
When the circus reached Madison
Square Garden Dick became dangerous
and heavy chains were fastened to his
four legs and also to his tusks. He was
taken out of the quadrile dance as he
was unmanageable. While preparations
were being made to-day to move the
circus from the garden Dick started to
trumpet. Fearing a stampede Of the
fourteen elephants, Lewis Sells, one of
the proprietors, decided upon stern
measures to subdue him. Huge ropes
We're fastened around the giants body
and about his neck, dozen men seized
the ends and began to pull, the idea
being to choke him into submission
Finding that the men made no impress
sion upon him, Mr.. Sells had elephants
to the ropes. They pulled with
such vigor that the ropes frightened |
about Dicks neck and choked him to
death The carcas was cut up and cart
ed away. 1t took fourteen men nearly |
sixteen hours to perform the task. The |
elephant was about thirty-five years old |
and weighed 5000 pounds. The skin |
may be stuffed and placed in Andrew |
Carnegie's new museum in Pittsburg.

LONDON REv1Ew or SITUATION.
News Expected Amy Moment of a De-
cistve Battle.

News Expected Amy Moment of De-
cisive Bntt1e.
London, April %, a. NIT is quite
probable that by this time General Sir
Henry Rumble has fought a decisive
battle with the Beers. He entrenched
himself Saturday, to await the arrival
of General Campbell with the Sixteenth
brigade. That commander arrived Sat-
urady evening and news may therefore
be expected at any moment
1t is still impossible to ascertain the
position of affairs at Bloamfontein or to
learn when the long expected advance
northward will begin The dispatches
conflict regarding the state of the pre-
parations. For instance, the Bloemfon-
atein correspondent of the Daily Chroni-
Gle says that the troops have been sup
piled with winter clothing and that the
Modder river has fallen sufficiently to
permit cavalry to cross. The Standards
representative says almost the exact op-
posite. Present indications, however,
point to still further delay
Without attaching undue Importance
to the stories from Lourenzo Marquee
concerning the strength Of the Boer
forces, 1T would almost seem that the
former estimates of 10000 We're rather
low.
During the last few days there has
been a renewal of Boer activity in all
parts of the theater of war. The tenac>
ity of the enemy around Col. Dalgery
proves that considerable forces are still
there. Lord Roberts has ordered Lord
Methuen to retire from Boshof probably
for the same reason. The presence of
a Boer force at Frankfort looks like
an intention to endeavor to cut off
Methuen, who may be heard of as re-
tiring upon Kimberley. The Beers are
said to half encircle Bloemfontein to the
eastward in a crescent formation. There
have been several outpost affairs in that |
vicinity. The Eleventh division, under |
General Pole Carew, and the Fourth |
cavalry brigade are operating toward |
Sannas Post.
In Natal there is no dnunition of
Boer activity.

occurred Early Thts Morning After n
short Illness.
Charles E. Cruttenden, one of the best
known Of the liverymen and horsemen
Of the state, died at his home, No. 613
Chapel street, this morning shortly af-
ter midnight. He had been i'll only a
few days Last Wednesday he was taxi
en- Ill with the grip, which soon assum-
ed dangerous form and he rapidly
grew worse, despite all efforts Of medi-
cal skill. y
Mr.. Cruttenden was sixty eight years
Of age and had been engaged in the
livery business during the greater part
OF his life. For years he conducted sta
bles on Union street, but sold out his
business there about year ago Since
retiring from the livery business he had
devoted his time to dealing in horses,
being associated with his brother, Sam
uel Fl. Cruttenden. He owned consid-
erable real estate in New Haven and
was the owner Of the Hotel Davenport
property, which he leased about year
and half ago to John O. Nero, who
now conducts the hotel.
1t was only few days ago that Mr..
Cruttenden was out on the street, and
few of his acquaintance knew that he
was i'll. Those who knew Of his illness
thought that 1t was of a trifling charac
ter, and the news of his death will
therefore come as a great shock to his
friends and acquaintancee. He leaves
one daughter, Mrs. Harry Lacy, wife of
the well known actor. E1e also leaves
two brothers, Samuel H. and George E.,
the latter member Of the firm Of Crut-
tenden & Co., carriage manufacturers.
His wife died several years ago. Ar
rangements for the funeral have not
been completed.

No Good Can BIZ Gained by Going to

Berlin, April 22.-The semi-official
Berliner Post publishes an inspired ar
ticle in which it is stated that the SEN
timent regarding the Beers still remains
friendly throughout Germany, but that
the government sees no reason why the
Boer peace delegation should come to
Berlin, since no good could be gained
from such a visit, Germany being un-
able to render the slightest service
either in friendly offices to both sides
or in intermedation, so long as Great
Britain remains determined to reject
both.
