Severely Burned.
A young man named Henry Ireland,
was rather severely burned yesterday
afternoon. He was engaged at work
with the party who is putting a new
roof on the old Opera House building.
He had occasion to ignite a . burner
on the gasoline stove used in the melt-
ing of the roofing material. As he
applied a lighted match, there was a
sudden explosion of flame which singed
Ireland’s mustache, whiskers and hair,
and slightly burned his right arm.
Fortunately for him he escaped further
injury. He said, “I was afraid oh the
thing and kept as far away from it as
I could.” This precaution on his part
probably saved the destruction of his
eyesight and the sufierance of more
' severe burns.

Charles Look, a Swede, aged about
30. who was taken to the Danbury hos-

' ycase has been a remarkable one and at-
‘ tracted much attention among the
medical fraternity. Look’s head was
set in an iron frame when he was taken
to the hospital and although all his
body below his neck was paralyzed he
was able to preserve vitality until yes-
'terday.

SUFFERING IN MILITARY CAMPS.
The Cry for Bread Comes Up from Every
Camp Where Troops Are Gathered.
Washington, June 10.——Political pap is
being served out to ,volunteers in the
field, when the requisitions call for sub-
stantial food:
This, in brief, explains, in a. measure,
why the volunteer troops are to-day
suffering for the necessaries of life at
the various encampments.
The cry for bread and supplies comes
from Tampa, Chickamauga, Key West,
Mobile, and even Camp Alger, which is
under the shadow of the Goddess of
Liberty looking down from the dome
of the Capitol.
The complainings pouring in at the
war department but emphas.~:s the
state of “rattledness” prevailing at ar-
my headquarters. There is no intention
on the part of thewar department to
neglect the trons in the fleld. nor is
there anv desire" on the part of the
commissary,ofsubsistence or the quar-
ter-master general to put the troops on
starvation rations. The trouble seems
to lie in the rank Inexpenience of the
newly appointed members of the start
departments, and the utter physical in-
ability of. the (few seasonéd'dtncers' to
perform the glkantlc' ' 'dutl‘es'f Vtmposed-
upon them in equipping ind-sopplying
avast army of 126,000“’men.*'~The real
trouble seems to be'th'ait {heat-my was
tardy in r allxlng' that war with Spain
was inevi ble. While the navy was
scanning the horizon for Spanish ships
.and stripping the battleships for nation,
the army was doing dress pacific duty
and misreading the war indications,
which were . tinctly written on the
Even w- on war was deemed to
be ineVitable, the ruling spirits in the
army stroked their military whiskers
and said: “Oh, this to to be a naval
war, and the army will cut but little
figure in it." -
Witlfin a. few weeks the whole plan
of the war has undergone a. complete
change, and the army is required to
play a very important part in the war
with Spain. The call for 200,000 volun-
teers to aid in expeditions to Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines impos-
ed upon the head of the army duties
for which it was my prepared.
The utter inadequacy of the equip-
ment necessary for the newly assem-
bled army was soon manifested. The
inappropriateness of many of the places
selected for encampmentsand the lack
of facilities for supplying the troops
with suitable rations has impressed it-
self upon even those who are most anx-
ious .to overlook the shortcomings of
the wax- department under existing
pressure. . -
Brave and patriotic sons of the nation
are languishing in some of the encamp-
ments at this moment for want of
proper food and a. decent place to rest
their weary forms after going through
the .exacting- duties of camp life.- The
complaints of the soldiers have been
heard beyond the war department and
‘vmorous methods will be Tbsor-ted to if
necessary to locate the responsibility
and remedy the existing evil.
North Carolina Cotton Crop.
taleigh, N. 0., June 10.—The crop re—
port of the state-agricultural depart-
ment, issued to-’day, says that the cool
nights of 1the past two weeks have'been
unfavorable forthe maturing of cot~
‘ton, and that wind and hail storms
have done considerable damage ,to all
crops. In the eastern district cotton is
looking better and promises 'to grow
well, although the stand is» poor, and
in the northern tier of. counties needs
chopping badly. In the central district
cotton is not in a. promising condition,
but in the western district the crops are
looking clean and healthy. Cotton is
growing only fairly well, and poor
stands are complained of in every coun-
ty. It is estimated that with the most
favorable conditions possible hereafter,
the cotton am; will fall far short of
an average one this year. The eotton
acreage has generally been‘reduccd, al—
so, all over the state, more food crops
being put in.
How They Feel in DIadrid.
Madrid, June 10.—~The bad news re-
ceived here from the Philippine isl-
ands has caused a deep impression.
The public is calm, but there is a. la-
tent intensity of dissatisfaction which
is only repressed on patriotic grounds.
A long cabinet council, to clear the
situation, especially the resources re-
quired for he campaign and the war
plans was held yesterday.
, The minister of marine, Captain Au-
~non, submitted important documents
for the consideration of the ministers.
It is announced that he will proceed
shortly to Cadiz, ostensibly to inspect
the defences of that place. But it is
said he “may possibly make an impor-
tant decision during'his stay there.”
The minister of marine will also de-
vote considerable attention to the av-
ailable naval reserves.

Powder Found in Coal.
Springfield, Mass, June 10.+While
unloading a, carload of coal Wednes-
day, a shoveler discovered a can of
giant powder in the coal. The coal is
understood to have come from mines
in Pennsylvania from which the gov-
ernment obtains a part of its coal for
the navy and it is thought that any
number of such cans may have been
put into the coal by Spanish sympa-
thi/zers in the hope of disabling an
American warship.

DESPERATE. AT MANILA.
Reports in Madrid That Spanish Gan-loci
Will Surrender to Americans.
Madrid, June 10.—-—It is rumored that
the Spanish garrison at Manila, rather.
than be massacred by the insurgents,-
prefers to vield to the Americans as
prisoners of war.
General Correa, minister of war, de-
clares that Captain General Augusti
will defend himself to the last;
Senor Silvela says: “The moment
has arrived to take supreme resolu-
tion.” ,
General Lopez Dominguez believes
that the intervention of the powers is
imminent, “because the fate of the
Philippines interests all Europe."
The bad news received here from the
Philippine islands has caused a deep
impression. The public is calm, but
there is a. latent intensity of "dissatis-
faction, which is only repressed on pa.-
triotic groundis'., '
The newspapers are printing violent
arti'cles;_ demanding that the responsi—
bility for the. present situation be de-
termined. , .
. Political.‘ circles express themselves
as being,“satlsfled that the powers will
not permit the United States to hold

MCKINLEY WANTS HAWAII.
He Will Urge Cong! on to Act in a Spa
clal Menage.
Washington, June 10.—The president
has in contemplation, according to a.
senator who was in consultation with-
him yesterday, the submission of a
special message to the two houses of
Congress calling for immediate an—
nexation of Hawaii as a military neces-
sity. ~
According to the Senator the message
will be delayed for a. few days to aw it
the action that may be taken by Spea~
ker Reed and the committee on rules,
but it is likely to go in with as little
delay as possible. ,
The purport of the message is a spec.
ial plea. for favorable action, calling
attention to the strategic importance
of the islands, the great advantage that
would accrue in the present war situa-
tion through securing them and other
points in the Hawaiian policy already
well known.
