Cubans Kicking.

A fact which is impressed more every
day upon the American officers and men
is the increasing strained relations be-
tween the Americans and General Car
cias Cuban soldiers. After General Shat
ter announced his decision not to let the
Cubans enter the city of Santiago, deep
mutterings were heard among General
Garcias men.
On Friday last Castillo, brother of Cen
eral Demetrius Castillo, went to General
Skaters headquarters to ascertain the
cause of this.
"Why is Santiago to remain in the
hands of our enemies?" he asked.
'The Spaniards are not our enemies, >
replied General Shafter. "We are fight
ing the soldiers of Spain, but have no
desire to despoil her citizens. No Cuban
will be allowed to enter the city nor will
any American. The government of the
city is for the people to decide. When
the American army leaves it 1 presume II
will be turned over to you, but not until
then"
Castillo, who came direct from General
Garcia's camp, did not attempt to conceal
his chagrin. The Cuban soldiers now full
ly realize that there is rising sentiment
against them in the army. They hear
nothing but words of scorn from our men
and the officers no longer conceal their
disgust for their allies, for the Cubans
have neither fought nor worked.
General Shafter yesterday morning sent
an invitation to General Garcia to attend
the ceremony of raising the American
flag over Santiago, but the Cuban gen
eral declined the invitation, saying he
hated the Spaniards and added he did not
want to be where any of them are.
Since that time the Cubans have remain
in their camp, eating American Iations,
and our troops have had no communica-
ton with them.

While there is not the faintest desire
to convey a 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 per-
feet subjection. It is surmised that the
suggestion came from Admiral Samp.
son, who is now in one of the suburbs of
Havana, as result of the unfortunate
eruption Sunday night at the Hotel In
glaterra. At any rate the event brought
the authorities to sudden realization
of the exact state Of affairs in Havana
and the imminent danger of another
such outbreak, which, perhaps, might
run into the proportions of riot and
cost many innocent lives. With only a

Further Rioting at Havana During the
Funeral of a.Cuban.
HAVANA, Dec. 15.-About 9 a. m.
when funeral procession was escorting
the hearse containing the remains of
Jesus Sotolongo, who was killed in the

of 1nfanta and San Jose streets, vic.
lent affray took place between members
of the funeral party and some employees
of the military hospital. The following
were wounded: DR.. Betancourt, Cuban
deputy for Santiago de Cuba; Rafael
Portundo, Cuban deputy; Cuban Gen
eral Vidal; Cuban Colonel Armando
Rivas; Francisco Lucas Blanco, Span
lard: Ramon Garcia, Spaniard; three
women and two children. Garcia, who
was stabbed, may die, and Portundo
was badly hurt.
One version Of the affray is that the
military hospital employees and num-
ber of Spanish privates, who were
standing in the hospital portico, refused
to remove their hats when requested to
do so by persons in the procession.
Thereupon the Cubans, it is alleged,
tried to knock off the hats and fght
ensued.
The privates fred upon the procession,
the windows of the hearse being broken
and bullets striking the coffin. Knives
and pistols were freely used.

New YORK, Dec. 15.-The great steel
gas tank of the Consolidated Gas COM
pany at Avenue A and Twentieth
street, the largest of its kind in the
world, collapsed at $3.50 o'clock. It
went down with crash and roar like
great explosion. Masonry of granite
blocks and bricks to the height of SO
feet fell like a child's toy house of
blocks, and, loosened from bondage,
100000 gallons of water deluged the
streets and in 10-foot tidal wave car
ried death and destruction through the
surrounding neighborhood. It is not
known how many were killed, but three
bodies have been recovered and three
persons are missing. Eight persons
were seriously injured and about fifteen
others more or less severely hurt or
almost drowned.
Workmen Were Making Test.
The steel tank was 17s feet in diam
eter and 160 feet high. Rising out Of
the ground to height of so feet was a
great circular wall Of granite and brick,
many feet in thickness. This was filled
with 100000 gallons Of water. A
gang Of men were at work under fore
man filling the pit with water to make
the first "water test" The great tank
seemed to withstand the test we'll. The
laborers were even beginning to gather
up their tools to knock off. There were
many people on the streets and crowded
street cars coming and going. Suddenly
came an. awful crash. The men below
had scarcely time to fly from beneath
the falling walls ere they were picked
up by the mass of rolling water and
Hurled Hundreds of Feet Away.
Into the basement the first and second
floors of factories and tenementsy rushed
the food. Work1men We're shot out of
the factory windows and carried block
or more as if mere straws. Women
were washed out of the fats from the
first floors and almost drowned.
w. ]. Logan Of the Logan iron works
of Green Point, L. l., the contractor
who was building the tank, arrived on
the scene within a few minutes after
the collapse and was at once placed un:
der arrest. William H. Bradley, chief
engineer of the Consolidated Gas com.
pany, was also placed under arrest.
Both were charged with homicide and
their bail was placed at $780, 900 each.

LONDON, July 13.-The special cor respondent of the Times at Cavite writes as follows, under date of July 10, via Hongkong:
 T arrived here on July '. Admiral Dewey and General Anderson received me cordially and gave me quarters with the officers of the Fourteenth Regular Infantry. The American troops are a fine-looking body of men. but the dis cipline is easy and not at all compar- able to that of an English volunteer corps. Their clothing is heavy for a warm climate, and I fear the men will suffer from heat should field operations be necessary for the capture of Manila. There are about 160 cases in the hos pital, chiefly complaints caused by eat ing fruit or drinking unfiltered water
 A steamer arrived on the 9th from Australia with 5000 frozen carcasses for the American forces. The condition of Manila is said to be terrible. It is hoped the town will surrender without neces- sitating bombardment, but the Spanish authorities are obstinate and a capitu- lation is not likely. The whole Ameri- can expedition is expected here by July 90. Admiral Dewey, whose attitude has been particularly humane and lenient has now declared complete blockade Yesterday he sent away the British steamer Esmeralda, which wished to take passengers for Hongkong.
