by n sudden Flood.

New York, Dec 1.-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 late yesterday after
noon. 1t went down with a crash and
a roar like a great explosion. Masonry
of granite blocks and bricks to the
height of so feet fell like child's toy
house of blocks, loosened from bondage
5000 600 gallons of water, deluged the

cables ran We're over 200 feet in height.
The lower tank into which the upper
one fitted was rs feet in height, and
rested on mason work of the pit. This
pit is $50 feet deep. The builders were

Declares Cur Country Cannot Endure

Savannah. Ca. Dec. I4.-Colonel w.
J. Bryan. upon his leaving his COM
mand yesterday, the Third Nebraska
regiment. gave the following interview.
my reason for leaving the army
was set forth in my letter to the adju-
tant general rendering my resignation.
Now that the treaty Of peace has been
concluded, / believe that I can be more
useful TO my country as civilian than
a soldier.
II may be in error, but in my judy
ment our nation Is in greater danger
just now than Cuba. Our people de-
Tended Cuba against foreign arms; now
they must defend themselves and their
country against a foreign idea--tne
colonial idea Of European nations.
Heretofore greed has perverted the
government and used its instrumental
interferences for private gain, but now
the very foundation principles OF our
government are assaulted.
THE imperialistic idea is directly an
tagonistic to the idea and ideals which
have been cherished by the American
people since the signing OF the declara-
ton Of independence. Our nation must
give up any intention Of entering upon
a colonial policy (such as is now pur-
sued by European countries) or 1t must
abandon the doctrine that governments
derive their just powers from the con-
sent of the governed. This nation can
not endure half republic and half colony
half free and half vassal Our form
Of government, our traditions, our pres
ent interests and our future welfare all
forbid our entering upon career OF
conquest"
Colonel Bryan favors ratifying the
treaty of peace and then dealing with
the subject in our own way" He left
last night for Washington, and intends
to enter actively into the fight against
a colonial policy

He Was Not Addicks' Counsel, But
the Bay state Gas Company's.
Wilmington, Del, Dec 15.-In the
trial of Senator Kenney yesterday Dis
trict Attorney Vandegrift moved that
the government be permitted to reopen
its case for the admission of testimony
refuting the explanation given by SEN
ator Kenney at the close Of Tuesday ;
session with respect to the voucher in
dicating that he had received $4,000 in
shares Of Bay State Gas stock as part
payment for years services as pri-
vate counsel to the company. Mr.. Ken
ney said the payment was made for
legal services rendered j. Edward Ad-
dicks in the matter OF obtaining for
him a divorce. Judge Bradford grant
ed the application.
j. Frank Alice. a member Of the ex-
ecutive committee which approved the
voucher, was the only witness. He
said Mr. Kenney was retained as pri-
vate counsel for the company, and that
the retainer was for services to be
rendered the company. The defense
drew from the witness that the exigen-
cies did not arise, and that Mr.. Kenney
never performed any services for the
company.

Havana, Dec. 15-Americanob observers
OF the violent scenes enacted here on
Sunday night sympathize with the Gu
ban population over the killing Of three
persons and the wounding Of Is others
by Spanish soldiers. Nevertheless, the
American military men are unable to
do more than they have done in secur-
ing safe transportation for prominent
Cubans 70 Marianao and in preventing
all arrests excepting thoge Of three
youngsters, who however were after
wards released. The shooting was
nearly all done by Spanish officers
armed with pistols. Some shots were
fired during the conflict at aggressive
Cubans, but most Of them were fired
at retreating Cubans. Not one of the
officers implicated has been brought to
account. 1t is asserted that the feel
ing in the Spanish army Is one Of pleas
ure that the Cubans gave the Spaniards
the opportunity to kill few Of them.

Washington, Dec. 15.-It is stated
that Ex-Governor Merriam, of Mime

some days, is under serious consider
alton for the post of secretary of the

Kinley, and again just before the de-
parture of the presidential party south

warm personal friend of the president,

geographical sense. Senator Davis has
opposed his selection for important pc
sitions in the administration, but it is

Norfolk. va. Dec i0.--John Ander-
sen. the condemned murderer of Mate
Saunders. Of the schooner Olive Pecker.
was executed in the city jail yesterday.
He marched from his cell to the scat
fold unsupported. and with firm step
assembled the steps without assistance.
After prayer Andersen made a short
speech, saying he had forgiven the
men who swore his life away, and
would die at peace with the world ana
God.
At sos the trap was sprung, and
Andersen's body shot downward. The
rope parted just inside the knot, and
his body fell to the cohble stones. A
thrill of horror ran through the crowd.
Officers and witnesses rushed to the
body and snatched the cap from his
head to find blood oozing from mouth.
nose and eyes. A doctor was called,
and soon Andersen opened his eyes
and II was said, began to breathe. He
was carried. feet foremost, up the
stairs to the platform and laid down
until a chair was obtained. He was
then placed in this, but never spoke.
Preparations for re-hanging him We're
hurriedly made. The other end of the
rope was adjusted around his neck. He
was raised to a standing position and
the straps again placed on his limbs.
While being supported by the officers
the trap was again sprung. In 70
minutes life was pronounced extinct.
Nine minutes elapsed between the first
and second drops. Andersens neck
was broken, supposedly by the last
drop

Aginaldo's spanish Prisoners.

Washington, Dec. 15.-Up to this time
the officials here have not been able to
ascertain the number of Spanish pris-
oners held by the Filipino insurgents,
but they are certain that the estimate
from Madrid of 10000 is very much
too high. Admiral Dewey looked into
the condition of some of these prisoners
held by Aguinaldo at Cavite early in
the war and again lately 1t is believed
that the lot Of the Spanish soldier pris-
oners. who in July numbered 1000, is
much better than that of the clerical
prisoners. 1t may be that the total
number of prisoners in the hands of
the insurgents viii run we'll up to-
wards 5000.
