FLOOD IN BROOKLYN.
Huge Water Main Bursts and Damage
Estimated at 100000
Results.

New York, Dec. 12.-For several
hours Sunday an area of 20 blocks in
the Twenty-eighth ward in Brooklyn
was inundated by raging waters, which
washed out the foundations of houses,
tore down trolley and telegraph poles
imprisoned people in their houses and
nearly drowned some who were caught
by the flood. The damage will reach
several hundred thousand dollars; the
police think $5O0,00O. The great water
main at Hobart street and Central
avenue burst at five o'clock in the morn
ing. This main is four feet in diameter
and when the pressure became TOO
great the water shot up eight feet in
the air, tearing hole in the pipe itself
seven feet long and a half of its circum-
ference. For the first hour 100000
gallons. it is estimated, rushed through
the streets and there was little diminu-
ton for three hours. The flood came
so suddenly that several persons were
caught and three were rescued by life
lines. Every house in the 20 blocks
was flooded and number of them SO
badly damaged that they will fall II
they are not pulled down. Hundreds OF
others were damaged so badly that il
will be a costly matter to repair them
Ten families were homeless Sunday
night because the commissioner OF
buildings would not let them entel
their shaky houses.

DEATH OF A PATRIOT.
Close of the Career of the Noted
Cuban Warrior, Gen. Garcia.
succumbs Mt Washington to an At
tnck of Pneumonia - HIS Dying
Thoughts Were OF His Coun-
ffy-Skctcb of His Life.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Gen. CaliXto
Garcia, the distinguished Cuban war
rior and leader and the head of the
commission elected by the Cuban as
Sembly to visit this country, died here
Sunday morning shortly after ten
o'clock at the Hotel Raleigh, where the
commission has it's headquarters. The
sudden change from the warm climate
of Cuba, with the hardships he had
there endured, to the wintry weather
of New York and Washington is re-
sponsible for the pneumonia which re-
suited in his demise. He contracted a
slight cold in New York, which did n OF
assume an Plarming stage until the
early part OF last week. On Tuesday
night Gen. Garcia, in company with the
other members of the commission, at
tended dinner given in his honor by
Gen. Miles, and it was result of the
exposure that night which eliminated
in his death.
Last Thoughts Were for Cuba.
During the 12 hours or more pre-
ceding dissolution Gen. Garcia was un
conscious most of the time. AT inter
walls he recognized one or more of thos'
about him. In his dying moments, a
all through his busy and active life, hi
thoughts were for his beloved countr.
and its people, and among his las
words were irrational mutterings ii
which he gave orders to his son, WIZ

ident, who was alone at the time, but
within a comparatively short time all
the members of the cabinet had either
called or sent their congratulations.
The presidents congratulations were
promptly cabled to the commission.
The news of the signing had been so
thoroughly discounted that the actual
receipt of the official advices created
little stir here. There was a general
feeling of relief, however, that no un-
foreseen circumstance intervened at
the last moment to block the peaceful
close of the negotiations.
