Chimney Made of Cat Iron.
Cast iron chimney s are now being
eTp' -yed in sf.me iarge buildings. They
are composed of six-foot lengths of pip
ing j -inte : together, and are built in
the brickwork. It is contended that
they are cheaper to construct and are
more economical. The iron takes the
heat more q -ickly than brick and re
tains it better, hence less warmth is
required to be drawn up the shaft in

Washington, April 25. Information
received at the war department indi
cates that Oen. Otis is about to exe
' cute another important movement, the
. initial features of which are shown by
' yesterday's press advices from Manila.
; The objective point is the insurgent
I town of Calumpit, being- about eight
miles northwest of Maiolos. It wa
here that the insurgents concentrated
after being driven out of their capital,
setting up a new capital, and making
it the base of their operations,
j Two Diatiact Operation.
In moving on this stronghold. Gen.
Otis proposes to conduct two distinct
operations. The first one, under Maj.
i Gen. MacArthur, has for its purpose
pushing straight forward from Maio
los along the railroad and striking at
Calumpit from the south. The second
one is under Maj. Gen. Lawton, who,
with his riving column, is moving far
around to the northeast, to the large
town of Norzagay, from which point
he will turn abruptly west towards
, Calumpit. This last move will take
about ten days, and military strate
gists look upon it as another effort to
lhar.k the insurgents by getting behind
them at Calumpit, similar to the flank
movement which Gen. MacArthur at
tempted to execute at Malabon.
Calompit the Objective Point.
This double operation makes Calura
: pit the center for the next few days
while attention will be divided between
Mac Arthur's column advancing from
Maiolos and Lawton's column on its
ten cays" march by Norzagay. Mac
Arthur has only a short distance to
traverse, so that his forces may be en
gaged with the main force of the ia
1 surgents within the next few hours.
The country is fat and open, and rath
er better for our troops than that ly
mg south of Maiolos.
Calumpit lies on the left bank of a
small stream, at its confluence with
the large Liver Lio Grande. It is a substantially-built
town, with some 2,000
houses.
Through a Country Little Known.
The advance of Gen. Lawton by a
circuitous route will be over a country
of which little is known here. Norza
gay is a considerable town, and it is
thought Gen. Lawton is about there by
this time. A road runs all the way
from there to Calumpit. Along it are
scattered many small towns Ancat,
Custos, Ealinog indicating that the
advance is though a populous country.
It is an agricultural locality, with ex
tensive rice and fruit plantations.
W ill Strike ire City Front and Rear.
The war department map. prepared
t-v
irarv information bureau.
shews this road joins the one on which
MacArthur is moving up from Maiolos.
It is hardly thoucht, however, that
Lawten will make a junction with
MacArthur before striking Calumpit,
but rather strike the city in the rear
while MacArthur is attacking jn front.
The execution of this double move
ment is being follow with creat in
terest by war department ot'rlcials. as
it is on a considerably Ixrzer scale than
the brush-clearing which has been in
progress recently.

Mason, Ga April 23. The Tele
graph publishes a statement that it
would hardly be safe for Bishop Tnr
rer to come to this section of the
state, for feeling runs high against
him. On the night the Cranrds were
murdered Turner spoke at Sharps
burg, a short distance from the scene
oi the crime. It is said his utter
ances were bitter in reference to the
action of the Palmetto citizens in kill
ing four negroes. He advised the ne
groes to stand together. The next day
the negroes assisted Hose in making
his escape. Many threats have been
made by negroes that they will have
revenge, and further trouble is antici
pated. Still Hnntlna Victims.
