Weyler at the palace to-day and ex-
pressed their desire that he remain at
the head of the government in Cuba
Subsequently, they cabled to the cab
met at Madrid requesting that the
captain general be retained at the
head of the Spanish forces in the ISL

General Wey9er, in acknowledging
their expression of confidence, said
that tie criticisms and attacks made
upon his military conduct were with
out foundation. as it had always been
his plan to finish war with war, in &C
cordance with the customs of all Eu.

States General Sherman, ne de-
clared, while on the march destroyed
all the resources of the south that lay

The Costa Rican Troubles.

Washington, Oos 6.-Seaor Calvo,
the Costa Rican representative here,
states positively that. the reports that
President Iglesias of Costa Rica has
proclaimed himself dictator are without
foundation Mr.. Calvo received a
copy OF the official decree which doubt
less gave rise to the reports Of dicta-
torsbip. The decree was issued by
the permaaent commission of congress,
and not by the president, and is limited
to suspension of the right of habeas
corpus for sixty days from September
Is. This, the decree states, is 10
accordance with section 2 Of tee con
stitution. The decree gives the presi-
deos no unusual power. It is signed
by President Iglesias and is the ouly
decree of an extraordinary character
issued of late.

Water Tank Bursts.

Charleston, Oct. There was a
small sized Johnssown food at the
ronndaouse Of the South Carolina aod
Georgia road this morning. caused by
the bursting Of the water tank used for
supplying engines. As tie result of
the bursting Of this tank. two colored
men, James Small and John Brunsoo,
night coalers, we're almost killed
They are now in the hospital
The accident occurred at 7:05 O'Clock,
just at the time when the roupdhouse
vas full of men at work, and it was By
the merest chance that several we're oos
killed by The falling timbers and the
large iron hoops, which we're sent ay-
ing in every direction
Brunson and Smalls had just gone
into the wash roota, small house just
a few feet from the tank, aud were
changing their clothes, when there was
report like cannon, followed by the
rushing Of water aDd the falling Of
timber and brick. Before they could
get out Of the house the roof fell 10 on
them and they we're completely covered
with water and brick. the brick having
been knocked out of the wall on the
rouodhouse. Both of the men we're
extrIcated from the debris as quickly as
possible, and upon examination it was
learned we're painfully injured The
police ambulance was summoned and
they we're sent to the hospital.
Small sustained a deep cash in the
head, caused by brick striking him.
Brunson received cuts and bruises all
over the body and is in much more
serious condition that Small.
The tank was comparatively pew
one and was held together by large iron
hoops four inches vide and quarter of
an iuch thick, and why it burst is a
mystery.
The force Of the water was terrific.
for the whole side of the wall of the
roundhouse next to the tank was knock
ed down and the bricks we're hurled so
feet The water swept through the
building with fearful force. A large
toolbox, weighing over 1000 pounds
was carried by the water 80 feet, aud
pieces of iron Weighing hundreds Of
pounds which were lying near the tank,
were picked up after the water had
subsided 50 and 80 feet away.-The

No MORE PERMITS.
SO THE STATE BOARD OF
CONTROL DECIDED.

Columbia, Oct 6 AT their meet
ing lastnigbt the state board of con-
troll rescinded their action authorizing
dispensers 10 buy bottles insofar as
their action applied TO Charleston and
Columbia, and adopted and put the
parliamentary cIincher upon resolu.
ton refusing to grant any more beer
privileges till the Legislature meets.
The board met at 8:45 p m with
all members present and with Mr..
Cooper in the chair.
George S. Legare, of Charleston,
sppeared before the board for a beer
privilege. II was his opinion that
his town would support at least half
a dozen more beer houses the main
opposition came from those who
now held these privileges. This was
natural as these fellows were enjoying
q little 9 sKloDdike" of their own and
didnt't want any more opposition.
There were some 209 revenue licenses
ia Charleston, hc stated, about %
original package shops aud over $50
blind tigers. Mr.. Legare represented
ID. H. Adame
After Mr.. Legare retired Mr Jones
expressed the opionion that it would
be best to hold up on granting beer
privileges. It tended to bring the
dispenaary law into disrepute end he
feared this indiscriminate granting OF
privileges would bring the prohibi-
ton people down on the law
Il was resolved, ON motion Of Mr..
Donehit, that the board would grant
no more beer privileges in towns
where there are now one or more. un
til after the meeting of the legisla-
ture

but in which the patients have been de
clared well. Less restraint than usual
is imposed on the inmtaes Of such pre-
