 4 RESERVOIR OF GAS ON FIRE.
~h 'Gf'IhF oAh CT NdS ON TIRE. Ignfted by Workmen on State Street
 Last Night.

Last night about 10 o'clock a gang of men laying underground telepn1ne wires on State street, near the corner of Chapel, broke through the wall of an old fire reservoir underlying State street, at that point One of the work men named Hayden, taking a lantern, leaned over the hole to see what it was, when suddenly a big blaze burst from the hole, burning his mustache and hair and severely scorching his face and hands. The blaze then leaped several feet into the air, startling the workmen, who did not know what was the cause. It was later ascertained that gas was leaking from a pipe or main into the fire reservoir and after the hole was broken through the wall of the reservoir the gas rushed out and was ignited by the lantern held close to it by Hayden. A still alarm was sent to No. 2's house and the chemical en- zine and hose wagon were sent to the spot. A stream of water was turned through a hose into the hole, but it was nearly half an hour before the flame could be extnguished.
 These old fire reservoirs were built years ago before there was a city wa ter supply and each held several hun dred gallons of water from which the old hand engines got their water sup ply for fighting fires.

.ELEYEN MEN KILLED.
Their Lives Snuffed Out in the Twink
 ling of an Eye.

Cleveland, O., July 1.-The lives of eleven men were snuffed out in the twinkling of an eye this evening as the result of an explosion of gas in the big waterworks tunnel that is being con- structed under the bottom of the lake. The following were killed: ..
 John Parks, foreman; James Parks, brother of John; John Fradey, Tony Brunetti, John -, Emerson Smith, John McCauley, William Tucker, Gus Waite, Frank Clements and Frank Haney.
 The tunnel is an immense affair, be- ing projected to extend out from the shore for a distance of four and half miles and it has been under construc- ton for more than a year. The work has been attended with great difficulty About si" weeks ago there was an ex- plosion ,f gas in the shore end of the big hole, which killed eight men and injured a number of others. Soon af- terward big pocket of quicksand was struck and work was stopped for some time. The contractors then asked for permission to defect the course of the tunnel from the route fixed by the city engineers, but the request was refused. Work was finally resumed and had pro- gressed uneventfully until this evening"
 The accident occurred at o'clock this evening, but nobody will ever be able to tell how it happened for every
 witness is dead and their bodies are lying where they fell 6,000 feet out un- der the lake, The only man in the tun- nel who escaped death is Con Donnell, lock tender, who was stationed 37O0 feet from the shore. He heard an ex- plosion or series of explosions. He says there were ten of the shocks and the concussion was something terrible. It threw him off his feet and for hours he was in such a dazed condition that he could scarcely remember what had happened. He finally groped his way out and told what had occurred.
 Two men, Patrick Venseer and Mar tin McCauley, were the first to ven ture in the tunnel after the accident occurred, made their way to a lock D. 200 feet from the shore, but were over come by gas and fell to the floor When
 they failed to return James Clemon- son went to their rescue He found them almost unconscious lying over a
 mule cart and helped them to the we'll at the shore end of the tunnel The
 would-be rescuers say that all lights
 were out beyond the 5000 feet lock and
 that they could not go any further.
 A second rescuing party, made up of i've men, failed to accomplish any thing as the tunnel was filled with foul gas and smoke. Nothing can be ac- complished in the way of getting the bodies until the tunnel is lighted and the sulphur gas and smoke are cleared out.

London, July 12.-The Madrid corre- spondent of the Times, telegraphing on Monday, says: "Senor Sagasta went to the palace to-day and rendered his res ignation and that of the cabinet. It is said that he advised the queen regent to appoint a new cabinet, largely con sisting of the military element which would not necessarily mean the adop- tion of a warlike policy, but probably the reverse. It is generally expected that the resignation will be accepted, partial reconstruction of the cabinet. The ministers are now in council, and Senor Sagasta has doubtless communi- cated to them an account of his audi ence with the queen regent"
 It is said that Captain General Blan- co has cabled to Madrid declaring that the volunteer army in Cuba wishes the war to continue, as the troops hope to secure victories.
 The Madrid correspondent of the Times telegraphing this (Tuesday) morning says: "The cabinet resigned in consequence of irreconciliable differ ences of opinion on the question of initiating peace negotiations.

troops maintain their positions and the enemy abandoned their advanced trenches and those on the hill of San Juan. The squadron simultaneously bombarded the town. The firing ceas- ed at o'clock. Our troops behaved admirably and our losses were slight.
 Another Havana dispatch says: "The Americans abandoned their positions at Santiago. The Spaniards had one cavalry officer wounded" Captain Aunon, minister of marine, denies that Admiral Cervera had instructions to leave Santiago bay. The government left it to his discretion to make an exit if he was unable to resist in the bay. An official dispatch from Iliilo, Philip pine islands, says: Seven chiefs and 2,00O rebels have made submission to the military commander"

ffealsA ALSO NeVORes Llcen
 for 45 Stevens Street.


 The board of health last night con- sidered the application of Gertrude A. Vaughan for a license to conduct ma ternity hospital at No. 3 Prospect Place and voted not only not to grant lice.lse for that place, but to revoke the license previously granted to Mrs. Vaughan to conduct such a hospital at No. 45 Stevens street. The meeting of the board was in executive session and at it's close a dinner was given to the members of the board by J. Kings ley Blake, the member whose term has just expired. In response to a ques- tion as to how the vote stood numeri- cally on the question of granting the license the members of the board said that they had decided among them selves not to make known the vote on the question. One member when asked if the vote would not appear in the minutes of the meeting on the records of the board said that he thought that 1t would not. Another member stated that the vote was not unanimous and said that at least three members of the board voted against granting a license. There are five members of the board and this member was asked if the vote was three against granting the license to two for 1t. He replied that this was a poor guess and 1t is therfore evil dent that the vote was four against the license and one for it. The board meets in regular session at o'clock this af- ternoon. At that time MT Carmichael, the newly appointed member, will take his seat The board will reorganize. Dr. Fleischner Is now president.

TO TRANSPORT MILES.
600 to be Taken From Charleston for
 Use In Cuba.

GOO to be Taken From Charleston for
 Use In Cuba.
 Washington, July 11.-Arrangements are being made by the quartermaster generals office for the transportation of 600 mules from Charleston on the ships scheduled to carry the troops of the First brigade of Major General Wilson's division. which is destined to go to Santiago. The wagon transpor- tation to be sent will be provided from Chickamauga. The question of land transportation for the operations of the army in Santiago is regarded as of the foremost importance as the dis patches from the front indicate that General Shafter has had considerable difficulty in keeping the van of his army supplied with any great amount of rations and other necessaries. It is believed that the wagons and mules to be carried will answer all the immedi- ate purposes of Shafters army.

HAWAIIAN CoMMIssroNERs
Meet and Decide to Sail for Hawaii
 About August 1.

Washington, July 1.-The American members of the commission appointed by the president under the act annex ing Hawaii to the United States were in conference at the capitol to-day. Senator Cullom was chosen chairman of the commission and other officials were designated. M. w. Blumenburg, one of the official reporters of the senate, was appointed reporter of the commission. It was decided that the entire clerical force should be composed of employees of the senate in order not to add unneces- sarily to the roll of the commission. It is impossible to fix definite tipe of departure, but August 1 was agreed upon as the approximate date for sailing from San Francisco. It is expected that about two months time will be spent in Hawaii and the commission hopes to have it's recommendations pre- pared by the opening of the next ses- sion of congress.
 There was some informal discussion at to-days' meeting of plans for the work ahead So far as opinion was ex- pressed it was favorable to the adop- tion of the existing Hawaiian statutes Senator Morgan gave the other mem bers of the commission much informa- tion concerning these laws, speaking of the legal system under which the pres ent Hawaiian government as one excel lently adopted to local conditions. Among the questions with which the commission will have to deal are the public lands, the elective franchise and Notifications. The members of the committee generally express the opin- ion that steps will be taken to protect the islands against all possible foes, both by erecting Notifications and by maintaining force of men sufficient for any probable emergency. The pres ent land laws of the island are quite complicated and the chief end in view when they were formulated was that of inducing white immigration. The probabilities are that they will be re- tained under the new system. The commissioners favor full territorial form of government with a delegate in congress and a local legislature, but they necessarily will postpone the con- sideration of all matters of detail until they reach Honolulu and have an op- portunity to confer with Messrs. Dole and Frear, the Hawaiian members of the commission.

FIRE-PROoF UooDWoRK.
Saved American ships from Serious Fires-Herbert and Long Confer.

Washington, July 11.-Ex- Secretary
 Herbert had quite a conference with
 Secretary Long this afternoon upon the
 subject of fireproof wood for naval con- struction. He brought with him for midable array of facts gathered from the newspaper reports of the naval bat tie to show that fire was the element that worked the greatest destruction among the vessels of the Spanish squadron, and that whenever American vessels had been hit they had escaped
 such fires because all of their woodwork was fireproof. So impressed was Sec retary Long with the statement that he has concluded to reconvene a special board which was appointed some time ago to deal with this matter and which had recommended that the use of the prepared wood be curtailed in some
 measure in American warships then building.

WANToN AND DTsHoNORABLE.
Action of Spaniards in Disabling Their
 Gums After Asking Quarter.

Washington, July n.-Naval officials say that serious irregularity occurred at the time the ships of Admiral Ger vera's fleet hauled down their colors and surrendered. Inquiries have brought out the fact that the breech- blocks of the guns were thrown over board thus disabling the guns and making them practically worthless and the valves by which the ships were flooded opened after the surrender when, under the rules of warfare, the enemy had ceased fighting and had ask ed for quarter, it is said, that further destruction to the ships at such time was both wanton and dishonorable and that if the persons responsible for it are located they are likely to be held ac- countable.

MOST REMARK BEE YEAR.
Figures i'm American Export Trad
 Show Large Increase,

Washington, July 1.-The record of the most remarkable year in American export trade was completed to-day by the bureau of statistics so far as re- lates to the exportation of wheat, corn, and other breadstuffs, pork, beef and other provisions, cotton and mineral ores. Those articles form large per- centage of the total exports, aside from manufactures. The figures show in most cases large increase in quanti- ty and value of the articles exported though in some cases, notably miner als and cotton, the export price per unit has averaged less during the year than in the proceeding year.

London, July 12.-The Hong Kong correspondent of the Times says: Dis turbances continue on the West river A Paklan magistrate who had offered a reward for the capture of a rebel chief was himself captured by the chief. The latter drenched the magistrate with kerosene and burnt him, afterward butchering the magistrates family and flinging the corpses into the river It is said that corpses of 400 slaughtered rebels were seen floating past Wu Chau-Fu."
