Rronke,a New Duties.

Washington, Dec f4-Major General
Brooke arrived in Washington from Fort
ress Monroe yesterday, and was for more
than an hourin consultation with Secretary
Alger. He then, in company with Adiu-
tant General Corbin, proceeded to the
White House, and when he returned to the
war department it was formally announced
that the president had designated him to
be military governor of the island of Cuba,
new post, which carries with it all the
control of military and civil affairs in the
island formerly exercised by the captain
general under the Spanish regime. Each
of the six provinces of Cuba will have it's
own military governor, but all of these viii
receive their instructions directly from
General Brooke. Thus in Havana General
Ludlow will be governor of the city, but
answerable to General Lee, the governor of
the province of Havana, who in turn Will
be answerable to General Brooke.

BIG GAS TANK BURSTS.
Three People Killed and Many Badly
Injured.

Three People Killed and Many Badly
Injured.
New York, Dec a. With crash that
could be heard for more than mile the
largest gas tank in the world collapsed
from the tremendous hydraulic pressure
last evening. Three persons were killed,
one is missing and about 21 wounded.
Some of those injured will probably die.
That portion of Manhattan Island south
of Grand street was in partial darkness,
and six city blocks were flooded, the wa
ter in some places being waist deep.
The tank belonged to the Consolidated
Gas company and was situated between
Twentieth and Twenty first streets, Ave
nue. A and First avenue 1t had been fin
ished about ten days and collapsed while
being tested to see if it was perfect. Had
it collapsed after the test the damage and
loss of life it would have caused cannot be
estimated. William j. Logan, the con-
tractor who built it, and William a.
Bradley, chief engineer of the gas com
papy, were arrested last night and released
on $4,000 bail. The killed are:
Pious Baum, engineer, 327 Avenue A,
buried under wreckage.

Preserve order.
Washington, Dec 1.-THE Brooklyn
Texas. Castine and Resolute have been
ordered to Havana
While there is not the faintest desire to
convey threat in the dispatch of these
warships to Havana, it may be noted that
when they lie within the harbor they will
hold the town in perfect subjection.
1t is surnised that the suggestion came
from Admiral Sampson who is now in one
of the suburbs of Havana, as result OF the
unfortunate eruption Sunday night at the
Hotel Inglaterra
AT any rate, the event brought the au-
thorities to a sudden realization of the ex-
act state of affairs in Havana and the inn
minent danger of another such outbreak,
which perhaps might run into the proper
tions of riot and cost many innocent lives.
With only a small force of American sol
diers in Havana province, and those re-
moved at such distance from the city as
to make it difficult of access in time to be
of service to the American element in the
city, now swollen to large proportions by
the advent of many hundreds of CONNER
cial men and others seeking opportunities
for employment, the necessity for some
protection was apparent. To increase the
number of soldiers materially is not easy,
in view of the difficulty of transporting
them as well as providing for them when
they reach Cuba; but the navy's motto NOW
is Always Ready, and it was decided to
hasten the ships named to Havana to form
a formidable bulwark against any anarchis-
tic outbreak that might occur before the
completion of the American occupation of
