At the gate of the palace brick

the missile off with his hands, and

NEWSPAPERS WITHOUT GAS.
The Typesetting Machines Rendered
VaIueless This Morning.

The Typesettlng Machines Rendered
Valueless This Morning.
By some cause unknown, the
gas lights in the city failed this
morning about o'clock. incon-
veniencing a great many people
and playing havoc with the me-
chanical department of The
TINES, the typesetting machines
being entirels dependent on gas
for the purpose Of heating the
metal.
Between f2 and o'clock the
flow from the Upper Gas Works
suddenly stopped. Superintend-
ent William p. Knowles was
quickly summoned and began
a thorough investigation, but
up to a late hour this morning
had not succeeded in locating
the trouble.
1t is not known whether the
cutting off of the gas is due to
settling of the earth and break
age of the pipes, an accumula-
ton in the pipes, or whether
water has caused the stOppage.
The trouble is between the up
per works and the supply
mains for the city. an examina-
ton having disclosed the fact
that the flow was uninterrupted
from the lower works to the
upper works.
Superintendent Knowles in
formed TINES reporter that
should the trouble be located he
would not turn on the gas
again last night for fear of as
phyxiating those who had left
liqhts burning in their rooms.
Mr.. Knowles was greatly dis
tressed blythe accident and is do
ina all i'm his power to remedy
it. Housekeepers and others
who had lights in their apart
ments will do we'll to look to the
turning off Of the gas this
morning before Superintendent
Knowles orders the supply turn

seriously interrupted by the trouble
last night, and is battery oil Mer-

The trouble occurred at an hour
when the most important telegraphic
dispatches were being received, and
these, of course. had to be omitted
or greatly curialled.

DANV1LLE, VA, Sept. o.-Spe-

tonight. On the evening train
from the north, reaching here at
4:45 O'Clock, twenty odd negro SOL
diers of the Sixth Virginia Col
ored Regiment came in. They
were Danville negroes who en-
listed two months ago and have
since been in camp near Rich
mond.
Several of them were in liquor
when they reached here, and had
been quite boisterous OH the train.
After reaching here they continued
to drink, and about 7 o'clock one
of them, Albert Mcclellan, got in
a difficulty with John Smith, a
white man. The fight occurred
near the Southern railway depot,
and when Officer Morrisett, OF the
Police Force, attempted to arrest
the fighters, Mcclellan and two Of
his companions turned upon the
officer.
ATTACKED THE OFFICER.
Morrisett was Knocked down by
Mcclellan, and, in selldeience,
the officer drew his revolver and
shot Mcclellan in the abdomen,
inflicting a mortal wound, from
which he will probably die before
morning. The twenty-odd colored
soldiers and several hundred of
their friends became terribly eX-
cited and were loud in their threats.
They gathered about the court
house. where Mcclellan had been
carried, and where Officer Morri-
sett was.
They threatened dire vengeance.
Mayor Wooding called ont the ell
tire police force, and these, with
the assistance of the City Sergeant

the crowd of negroes, but at one
time it looked as if a bloody riot
could not be averted.

MAKING GENERALS.

The nomination today of a number of maior-generals and brigadier-gen- erals is an indication of the purpose of the president to avail himself of the full number of troops called for by his proclamation and even to fol- low the call by another very soon, for it is evident that there are not enough commands to go around properly among the officers already nominated.

 Major Brodie telegraphed from Prescott, Ariz., that at 6 p. m. today two troops of the regiment recruited in Arizona would leave for San An tonic, Texas, the mobilizing point. From New Mexico telegram was received stating that 250 men had been enlisted today and that they would leave on Friday for San An tonic, and the troop organized at Guthrie, Oklahoma, sent word that it would leave tomorrow for the rally ing point. Besides Major Brodie, Major Hersey of New Mexico has been appointed, leaving but one vacancy in the grade of major in the regiment Applications for enlistment are com ing from the east in large numbers, but the most rigid tests for qualifica- tion are being insisted upon.

 Cleveland, O., May 4-Hon. Chaunce~ M. Depew, who was in Cleveland to- day, in speaking of the war. said: 'I am of the opinion that had Pres ident Mckinley been left to himself we would not have had war. The trouble is that in congress there are a number of men who were clamorous for a fight, I do not think they would go to the front, but war talk is sometimes excellent political cap- ital. Sooner or later they would have embroiled the nation in war over the Cuban question whether the Maine incident had happened or not

The British consul has endeavored to complete the work of the American relief left undone by the Americans in their departure, and his task had by no means been an easy or safe one. He has frequently been threatened with personal violence.
 On the night of the 2d the mob gathered in front of the British con- sulate, and although the authorities had placed a guard there it was not sufficient to deter the mob from throw ing stones at the consul and at his residence
 Last night the mob greatly increased in numbers and it was feared that the consulate would suffer by the torch. The report as it reaches here is meager, but from it is gathered that the consul endeavored either to pla- cate the mob or to protect the resi- dence from actual violent attack, and a SpaniarG was killed.
 The consul is now in prison and the outlook is serious in view of the well known policy of Great Britain in the matter of protecting her subjects, and more particularly the members of her official family: Punish first and ex- plain afterwards" It is not believed here that too premature step will be taken by Great Britain, to the ex- tent of interfering with the already arranged plans of the United States with reference to Cuba But that she will call upon Spain to not only lib crate the consul immediately, but to see to it that he is amply protected in his liberty, is without doubt. The matter of indemnity will be for after consideration.

 Owing to outbreaks, the province Of Oviedo has been proclaimed in a state of siege.
 THE CAUSE IS HUNGER.
 The outbreaks in the provinces are assuming alarming proportions. This is especially the case in the province of Dijon, on the Bay of Biscay, where troops have been compelled to fire on the rioters. The latest news from Diion is that troops have been or dered out. At Talavera de la Ryna one of the Jesuit religious houses has been burned. It is asserted that the riots arise from hunger rather than from political moves.
