NEW YORK May EveningWorld today publishes tho following cor-respondence

Manila Feb 10 Tho Eillpinoswinning They are bettIng us where vehave possession arid are inflicting horriblerevenge

About the first of January it was saidthat the armed and organized insurrec-tions were practically at an end and thattherefore the troops would have to dealonly with guerrilla bands and outlaws Yetin the last forty days the American forceshere have lost more men more arms endmore supplies in socalled pacified dis-

tricts than during any previous period oflikelengthslnce the insurrection began

la the first three months of fightingwo lost more men by death and woundsbut tho number of men captured armstaken and supplies that have fallen intothe insurgents have been far great-er in the last mon h than ever before

A list of our losses by bolomen andambushes in the occupied districts sinceJanuary 1 is ratter startling On January2 Private Kane while walking betweenBacoor and Las Plans was hacked to deathby three amigos whom he overtook on theroad The day before Private Carter ofthe Twentyfirst Infantry was killed OnJanuary 7 Private Crisp was killed atBautesta and on January 9 four soldierswere attacked near Omni and one wasboloed to death in plain view of the otherthree On January 12 a sailor from thRUnited States cruiser New Orleans wasfound chopped to death in Manila by bolomen while on January 13 LieutenantStockley was capturod near Taliaay andhas not been heard of since

Lieutenant Ralston of the Thirtieth Infantry on January 22 started out fromSanto Tomas with fifty men and twentyone ponies loaded with two days mUonsfor the First Battalion of that regimentNo flankers were out for 2000 Americansoldiers under General Schwan had passed over ths same road only the day beforeOne of Lieutenant Geigers JlacabebeScouts was leading and the column wasmarching leisurely along not suspecting-an ambush There were no signs of insur-gents

Suddenly like a lightning bolt from aclear sky a murderous volley was pouredinto them and four men fell to the groundA fire was then being delivered from thefront and rear as well as from both sidesMan after man was going down Lieutenant Ralston left the pack train to look outfor itself and dived into the brush on theright side of the road where he at onceformed a skirmish line But the fire wastoo heavy for them and tho number ofcasualties was growing rapidly Ten menwere already down and as it became ap-parent that their little force was over-whelmingly outnumbered the lieutenantbegan a slow retreat fighting back as theywent

Ralston caked if they had all the deadand wounded with them and one of thesoldiers said that Joe Burns was still Be-hind Then they heard Burns calling tothem My God Im getting cut up HelpHelp An Insurgent had run up and wasstarting to bolo the fallen man

Some of the soldiers gritted their teethand started back to rescue their comradeThrough an opening in the brush theycould see the insurgent driving his bolointo Burns body Halt a dozen rifles wentto their shoulders and the insurgent bolomau was riddled with bullets

This volley started the Insurgent fireanew and a fiercer fire than over wasdriven Into the group of Americana Twomore men went down There was nochance sow to recover Burns body for exposure on the opn roadway meant certaindeath So the retreat was renewed leerIBFK the dead and some of the wounded onthe field The morale of the army is in abad way Soldiers are depressed

men of the Thirtieth were killed inone ambush and forty wounded of whomtwelve are in the hands of the enemyThis was the most disastrous ambush orthe month

On the 29th though an outpost of theFortyfirst was killed at his post near SanJuan Del Monte which is In the heart ofour possessions here On the night of Jantiary 21 two soldiers who were sleepingwithin our lines at Panique were boloedto death and on the same date occurredthe tragic Subie ambush in which Lieuten-ant Schenck and a scouting party of fortymen were attacked Schenck and fourmen wero instantly killed and six werewoundcd one mortally On February 1 apatrol consisting of a corporal ami fourmen of the Fortyfirst Regiment startedout from Mabalacat to patrol the railwayThey were evidently captured for not atrace has seen of theta since

The next night another patrol similarlyconstituted started on the same duty andthey managed to get back with a loss ofonly one killed Eleven men includingSergeant Wallace on February 5 wentfrom Manila to Oranl just across the bayThey were detailed to take a bull teamwith supplies to a garrison of soldiers nearOranl and on landing struck off along thecountry road At a lonely part of the roadthey wore ambushed and in an instant fivemen were killed and one mortally woundedTwo were captured and two native bulldrivers were also killed The three re

INSPECTOR OF PLUMBING

The Duties of the Ofllce Set Forth byAttorney Duvall

Recently a report made to theHealth Officer by the Sanitary Inspectorconcerning the inspection of premises 344E Street southwest in which it was statedthat a defective closet existed in the yardThe reference of the report to the Inspec-tor of Plumbing Mr Charles B Be II wassuggested

Mr Ball returned the report with thestatement that in the absence of r complaint or an affidavit his office did vt feeljustified in serving a notice in the caseThe matter was thereupon referred to theAttorney 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 tomake inspections upon reports by theHealth Officer such action being basedupon an opinion of a former Attorney forthe District Mr Duvall quotes rom anact of Congress approved April 23 1S32authorizing the formation of the office ofplumbing Inspector It would appearsays Mr Duvall to be the duty of theInspector of Plumbing under the directiontf the Commissioners first to inspect allhouses when In the course of erection second at time during reasonable hoursunder the direction of the Commissioners-on the application of the owner or occupant or the conplaint under oath anyreputable citizen to Inspect any house inthe District and examine the plumbing and

third generally to see that the regulationsprovided for are fully observed and

I am of the opinion he continuesthat It Is the duty of the Inspector of

Plumbing whenever informed of the exis-tence of unsanitary or imperfect plumbingand wholly irrespective of whem or howor by whom informed to Inspect the alleged defective plumbing and if found defective to take such articn as may benecessary to secure compliance with theplumbing regulations If the present eastas reported by the Sanitary Inspector de-velops the violation of any plumbing regu-lation made then it would appear to be theduty of the Inspector of Plumbing to takeaction as this would fall within his obligation to see that the regulations arefully observed and enforced

I do not consider that the opinion rendered by the former Attorney has any ap-

plication to the matter now under con-sideration

The engine got its power from the tankcontaining the gasoline gas and compressed air The tank was an ordinarygalvanized Iron water boiler such as isgenerally attached to a kitchen Itscapacity was about six cubic feet and thepressure on it at the time of the explosionwas about thirtyfive pounds The Maltbys claimed that they haG no warning ofthe explosion and were busy watching theoperation of the engine when they wereknocked over The force of theshifted every belt In the room frompulleys of the various lathes etc whichwere used In making model parts Thenoise of the explosion could be heard formany squares and attracted a large crowd
