When these advices left Iloilo General
Rios was expecting reinforcements and

gunboats to shell the town if the insur-
gents effected an entrance. The foreign
residents were greatly alarmed and all
merchantmen had been ordered outside
the harbor in order to allow the. gun
boats to operate. On the other hand

GAVE HIS LIFE FOR CUBA

General Garcia Spent Much of His Time
Fighting for Cuban Liberty.
General Garcia, whose name will be
ever linked with those of old patriots
who have fought against unequal odds
for the freedom Of his country, has had
! most active and varied life, much Of
which has been spent in fighting for the
sause or Cuban liberty which he had the
satisfaction of seeing accomplished so
short a time before his death.
He was a man of culture and refine
ment, of splendid education and came
from a distinguished family Of Jiguand.
Of Santiago de Cuba province. He was
born in Cogquin, Oct. IA, 1889, and was
therefore in the Goth year Of his age.
General Garcia was educated in Havana
and in Spain. In 1864 he was married
to Isabel Veles. General Garcia was
the original conspiraeor in the, uprising
of the Cubans against Spain in 1868, and
in that war, under Gomez, he attained
the rank of a brigadier general. In 1875
he attempted another revolution but was
unsuccessful and was banished to Spain
in 1850, where he remained until 1895,
when no escaped and returned to Cuba.
His active participation in the last rev.
olution is familiar to all newspaper
readers.

Supreme Court Helps Out Quay 81 al. by
Leave to Argue q Petition.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 13.-Supreme
Court Justices Greene and Williams
have granted a rule allowing the de-
PENDANTS in the Quay conspiracy a 8 to
argue a petition for a writ of certiorari
removing the proceedings from the court
Of quarter sessions to the supreme court.
The rule is returnable Jan. 2, and all
proceedings are stayed in the meantime.
The defendants in the case are Senator
NJ. s. Quay, his son Richard R. Quay
and ex-State Treasurer Benjamin j.
Haywood. The trial had been fixed to
begin in the courtDf quarter sessions
here on Monday.
The senator and his attorneys do not
hesitate to admit that their object in
securing delay for the trial is to take
the case out of the hands of District At.
torney Graham. MI. Graham, they
say, is an enemy of the senator, and has
displayed great eagerness in unjustly
prosecuting him and his co-defendants.

WATER MAIN BURSTS.
Damage Of Half a Million Dollars Done
ut Brooklyn.

Damage Of Hall a Million Dollars Done
ut Brooklyn.
New YORK, Dec. 13.-For several
hours an area Of 20 blocks in the Twen-
tieth 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 in the food. The dam
age will reach several hundred thousand
dollars-the police think $500, 900.
The great water main at Hobart street
and Central avenue burst at s o'clock in
the morning. This main is four feet in
diameter, and when the pressure became
too great the water shot up eight feet,
tearing a hole in the pipe itself seven feet
in length and a half of it's circumfer-
ence. For the first hour 1900, 600 gal
Ions, it is estimated, rushed through the
streets and there was little dimunition
for three hours. The shock came SO
suddenly that several persons were
caught and three were rescued by life
lines. Every house Of the 20 blocks
were flooded and many SO badly dam
aged that they will have to be pulled
down. Several families are homeless be-
!. cause the commissioner of buildings

No Friends Present to Say Farewell on His
Departure From Cuba.
HAVANA, via Key West, Dec. 2.-The
circumstances of Marshal Blanco's de-
parture, particularly the clandestine
nature of his movements at an early
hour in the morning, have furnished oc-
:asion for much gossip and for bitter vi.
tuperation, as the affair throws light
upon his methods and conduct during
the entire period of his captain general
ship. The oft-repeated statement that
ne was not popular among the Span
lards in Cuba gets confirmation from
the fact that none of his fellow country
men prominent in civil, social or indus
trial circles, men whose loyalty to Spain
is above suspicion, went near him to say
farewell.
At the palace and on board the
steamer he was met only by those whose
official military duty it was to pay q,
tribute of respect and courtesy to the
ex-governor general Of the island, but
nc personal friends were present to re-
lieve the gloom and dizziness of his last
hours III Cuba. This he appeared to
feel keenly, for he was morose and
silent, showing visible signs of his dis
appointment and regret.

Fleet viii he Strengthened by Several
Good Gunboats.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Admiral
Dewey's fleet will be strengthened
shortly by the addition Of some service
able gunboats. The Bennington, now
at Honolulu, has been ordered to pro-
coed to Guam, in the Ladrone group.
and make a survey of the harbor with a
view to. the establishment there of a
naval station. This done, she will join
Dewey's fleet. By that time or before,
the Helena will have arrived at Manila,
and the Concord and Petrol, now cruis-
ing around in Chinese waters, will have
returned and altogether the admiral will
have a sufficient force Of small vessels
under his command to carry out the
presidents policy respecting the Philip
pines and bring into submission any Of
the islanders who may prove refractory,
and to release any Spanish prisoners
held in confinement by the insurgents.
The navy department is convinced that
twill not be practical to carry out a
project it entertained at one time look
ing to the reduction of the United
States naval force on the Asiatic station
and has settled down to the conviction
that the fleet must rather be considera-
bly, reinforced if the attempt is to be
made to maintain law and order in the
Philippine islands, and still afford
proper protection to the important in
terests of the United States along the
great Asiatic' coast line. The combined
naval forces of Great Britain and the
United States in these waters will
largely exceed any other two nations in
that quarter of the globe.

PARIS, Dec. 13.--The treaty Of peace

treaty as signed consists of II articles,

archives. The Americans are to pay for
the repatriation of the Spanish troops
from all the colonies. The Spaniards
are to return all prisoners held by them.
They are to retain possession of all
military stores and munitions of wal in
the Philippines and of such ships as

the memorandum says:
"Spain has proposed arbitration. but
the United States refuses to give her the
right which is given to a criminal

THE sPANIARDs DECLINED.

Americans Suggested a Joint Dinner OF
the Peace Commissions.
PARIS, Dec. 13.-The American peace
commissioners are resting after their
long series of conferences and almost
daily sessions with the Spaniards, the
intensity of which they hardly realized
until it was over. Warm personal
friendships and mutual regards have
arisen between the two commissions as
the result of their extended controversy
at close quarters. The American COM
missioners unoficially informed the
Spaniards that they would be glad to
have the two commissions dine to-
gether. The reply was, like the invita-
ton, conveyed automatically through
a third party, and was that the Span
iards would be most pleased but feared
that it would be inadvisable because it
might be miscons trued at Madrid,
where already much feeling existed
AGAINST the Spanish commissioners.
