This afternoon it was an-| nounced that he will not suffer permanent injury. Frank Dalton and his brother had been watching the working up of a lot of iron in the furnaces. When they tried to stop the flow of the iron some cold water that was being used fell upon the running mass of metal and the explosion followed in- stantly. After the men gathered themselves to- gether they found that beyond the inju- ties to themselves no damage had re- sulted. Only a suflicient quantity of gas had been generated to affect the two brothers, who were near the cupola. —————— PLAGUE IN MANILA CLAIMS MORE VICTIMS Reports of the Marine Hospital Ser- vice Tell of the Philippine Health Conditions. | WASHINGTON, March 27. — Marine | Hospital Service reports from Manila | show for the week ending February 9 an | increase of six cases and four deaths from | plague, four Filipinos and two Chinese be- ing the victims.
