to NEW YORK May Evening World today publishes tho following cor- respondence Manila Feb 10 Tho Eillpinos winning They are bettIng us where ve have possession arid are inflicting horrible revenge About the first of January it was said that the armed and organized insurrec- tions were practically at an end and that therefore the troops would have to deal only with guerrilla bands and outlaws Yet in the last forty days the American forces here have lost more men more arms end more supplies in socalled pacified dis- tricts than during any previous period of likelengthslnce the insurrection began la the first three months of fighting wo lost more men by death and wounds but tho number of men captured arms taken and supplies that have fallen into the insurgents have been far great- er in the last mon h than ever before A list of our losses by bolomen and ambushes in the occupied districts since January 1 is ratter startling On January 2 Private Kane while walking between Bacoor and Las Plans was hacked to death by three amigos whom he overtook on the road The day before Private Carter of the Twentyfirst Infantry was killed On January 7 Private Crisp was killed at Bautesta and on January 9 four soldiers were attacked near Omni and one was boloed to death in plain view of the other three On January 12 a sailor from thR United States cruiser New Orleans was found chopped to death in Manila by bolo men while on January 13 Lieutenant Stockley was capturod near Taliaay and has not been heard of since Lieutenant Ralston of the Thirtieth In fantry on January 22 started out from Santo Tomas with fifty men and twenty one ponies loaded with two days mUons for the First Battalion of that regiment No flankers were out for 2000 American soldiers under General Schwan had pass ed over ths same road only the day before One of Lieutenant Geigers Jlacabebe Scouts was leading and the column was marching leisurely along not suspecting- an ambush There were no signs of insur- gents Suddenly like a lightning bolt from a clear sky a murderous volley was poured into them and four men fell to the ground A fire was then being delivered from the front and rear as well as from both sides Man after man was going down Lieuten ant Ralston left the pack train to look out for itself and dived into the brush on the right side of the road where he at once formed a skirmish line But the fire was too heavy for them and tho number of casualties was growing rapidly Ten men were already down and as it became ap- parent that their little force was over- whelmingly outnumbered the lieutenant began a slow retreat fighting back as they went Ralston caked if they had all the dead and wounded with them and one of the soldiers said that Joe Burns was still Be- hind Then they heard Burns calling to them My God Im getting cut up Help Help An Insurgent had run up and was starting to bolo the fallen man Some of the soldiers gritted their teeth and started back to rescue their comrade Through an opening in the brush they could see the insurgent driving his bolo into Burns body Halt a dozen rifles went to their shoulders and the insurgent bo lomau was riddled with bullets This volley started the Insurgent fire anew and a fiercer fire than over was driven Into the group of Americana Two more men went down There was no chance sow to recover Burns body for ex posure on the opn roadway meant certain death So the retreat was renewed leer IBFK the dead and some of the wounded on the field The morale of the army is in a bad way Soldiers are depressed men of the Thirtieth were killed in one ambush and forty wounded of whom twelve are in the hands of the enemy This was the most disastrous ambush or the month On the 29th though an outpost of the Fortyfirst was killed at his post near San Juan Del Monte which is In the heart of our possessions here On the night of Jan tiary 21 two soldiers who were sleeping within our lines at Panique were boloed to death and on the same date occurred the tragic Subie ambush in which Lieuten- ant Schenck and a scouting party of forty men were attacked Schenck and four men wero instantly killed and six were woundcd one mortally On February 1 a patrol consisting of a corporal ami four men of the Fortyfirst Regiment started out from Mabalacat to patrol the railway They were evidently captured for not a trace has seen of theta since The next night another patrol similarly constituted started on the same duty and they managed to get back with a loss of only one killed Eleven men including Sergeant Wallace on February 5 went from Manila to Oranl just across the bay They were detailed to take a bull team with supplies to a garrison of soldiers near Oranl and on landing struck off along the country road At a lonely part of the road they wore ambushed and in an instant five men were killed and one mortally wounded Two were captured and two native bull drivers were also killed The three re HEAVY AMERIGAN

a report made to the Health Officer by the Sanitary Inspector concerning the inspection of premises 344 E Street southwest in which it was stated that a defective closet existed in the yard The reference of the report to the Inspec- tor of Plumbing Mr Charles B Be II was suggested Mr Ball returned the report with the statement that in the absence of r com plaint or an affidavit his office did vt feel justified in serving a notice in the case The matter was thereupon referred to the Attorney for the District for an opinion- in the matter The opinion was to the Commissioners yesterday- It appears that it is the custom of the office of the Inspector of Plumbing not to make inspections upon reports by the Health Officer such action being based upon an opinion of a former Attorney for the District Mr Duvall quotes rom an act of Congress approved April 23 1S32 authorizing the formation of the office of plumbing Inspector It would appear says Mr Duvall to be the duty of the Inspector of Plumbing under the direction tf the Commissioners first to inspect all houses when In the course of erection sec ond at time during reasonable hours under the direction of the Commissioners- on the application of the owner or occu pant or the conplaint under oath any reputable citizen to Inspect any house in the District and examine the plumbing and third generally to see that the regulations provided for are fully observed and I am of the opinion he continues that It Is the duty of the Inspector of Plumbing whenever informed of the exis- tence of unsanitary or imperfect plumbing and wholly irrespective of whem or how or by whom informed to Inspect the al leged defective plumbing and if found de fective to take such articn as may be necessary to secure compliance with the plumbing regulations If the present east as reported by the Sanitary Inspector de- velops the violation of any plumbing regu- lation made then it would appear to be the duty of the Inspector of Plumbing to take action as this would fall within his obli gation to see that the regulations are fully observed and enforced I do not consider that the opinion ren dered by the former Attorney has any ap- plication to the matter now under con- sideration BURROWS DAMAGE SUIT Rcvcmnl of Judgment Asked In the Dour Case A LeftwIch Sinclair Assistant Attor ney for the District Commissioner has filed a

Working on a Mysterious Machine When Without Warning the GnNoIliic Tank Huratu The Serious But Not Gountder to lie of n Fatal Character Louis Campbell Maltby fortyfour years old a modelmaker med his son Herbert Louis Maltby an apt entice sixteen years old were seriously Injured by an explosion- in a front room on the second Soar of the machine shop of Sutherland Carr at 1202 D Street northvest at 1110 oclock this morning The xplosioa It is said was due to an excess 0 pressure on a gal- vanized Iron tank containing a mixture of gasoline gas and compressed air The tank was blown to fragments Louis Maltby was lifted bodily several feet into the air and hurled over a lathe dropping in the midst of a mass of debris and nmcuincry several feet away Herbert Maltby was thrown ten feet against a door Both are seriously though not dangerously injured The damage which was confined to the room in which the explosion occurred was comparatively slight considering the force ot the explosion Immediately after the explosion the members of No 1 Chemical Engine Com- pany which adjoins the machine shop went to the assistance of the injured Malt bys Both father and son were sent to the Emergency Hospital where an exami- nation revealed the extent of their inju- ries Louis Maltby was the more seriously hurt His face and head were lacerated and his eyes damaged Both arms were bruised and lacerated and the right leg was bruised and cut There were in ad- dition numerous bruises about his body The right arm of Herbert Maltby was badly bruised his face was scratched and his hair slightly scorched The eyes of both father and son were injured It is feared the Eight of both may be impaired After the eyes bad been treated and ban- daged and the injuries dressed the patients were placed in a ward The MaUbys who live at ISIS Ninth Street northwest are In the employ of CapL L N Lewis of the Bureau of Ord nance of the War Department His office is located in the Lemon Building Captain Lewis is the inventor of an explosive en- gine and it was on the perfection of a model of it that the Maltbys were working when the explosion occurred Louis Malt by has been in the employ of Captain Lew- Is for about a year though he has been engaged at the D Street building for only a month the experimenting shop having been locate there early In April Accord ing to Louis Maltby he built the modol ot the engine under the direction of Captain Lewis When completed the little engine did not accomplish all that was expected and experiments were made almost daily to increase its efficiency and to remedy de- fects in construction The engine got its power from the tank containing the gasoline gas and com pressed air The tank was an ordinary galvanized Iron water boiler such as is generally attached to a kitchen Its capacity was about six cubic feet and the pressure on it at the time of the explosion was about thirtyfive pounds The Malt bys claimed that they haG no warning of the explosion and were busy watching the operation of the engine when they were knocked over The force of the shifted every belt In the room from pulleys of the various lathes etc which were used In making model parts The noise of the explosion could be heard for many squares and attracted a large crowd Those first on the scene saw Herbert Maltby heroically assisting his more Injured father down the stairs from the shop to the office of Sutherland Carr Herbert was the first to recover from the shook of the explosion He rush ed to the room door and opening it to ad mit air went to the assistance of his fath er who was lying stunned on the floor The father was barely able to limp down I the stairs and would have fallen had it not been for willing arms that assisted Herbert Maltby with his birden Mr Sutherland of the firm of Sutherland Carr was the first to reach the room in which the Maltbys worked The room was thick with dust and the fumes of the escaping gases On the floor near the south wall was seen the twtatei and wrench ed boiler while everywhere was confusion A large hole In the ceiling Indicated the force of the explosion Mr Sutherland stated that he had no knowl- edge of what was going OD in the room He had rented it to Captain Lewis with the machinery It contained for experi mental and construction purposes Every thing about the occupants of the place was secretive and Mr Sutherland understood that an Invention or discovery was being perfected He knew nothing of the meth- ods employed by his tenants It was said by persons about the place that the engine on which the Maltbys were working was for a locomobile MUST PAY The Opinion of Attorney Dnvnll lie An opinion concerning the application of W H Singleton registrar of the vestry of the parish of St Michael and All Angels for the cancellation of the special assess- ment against the church property for pav- ing Virginia Avenue was received yester- day by the Commissioners Mr Duvall says he Is of the opinion that parsonage property Is not exempt under existing law from the payment of general taxes It appears that the only special as- sessment standing against the property is for sidewalk In front of the west part 158 and upon this part of the lot the parsonage stands As this property Is not church property Attorney Duvall says it is not exempt from taxation and the application should be refused MYERS DIES NEXT MONDAY A New York Murderer In Terror at the Thought of IHntli NEW TORK May Johnson of Sing Sing prison on Monday will Fritz Myers in the electric chair Myers crime is the
