Vernon Harcourt's announcement yes

Liberal organs this morning have moth

the latter means an absolute resigua-

party to decide finally upon the rival
claims. The letter is very carefully
worded and contains nothing that

crash. The men below had scarcely
time to flee from the falling walls ere
they were picked up by the mass Of
rolling water and hurled hundreds of
feet away. Into the Easements, the
first and second floors of factories and
tenements rushed the floods. Workmen
were shot out of the factory windows
and carried a block or more as if mere
straws.
Women were washed out Of the fats
from the first floors and almost drowned.
Mary Ann O'Connell and her little A.

and carried almost to Twenty.first

his office by the water, but was caught
in the debris and but for the Timely ar.
rival of some workmen with axes he
would have been drowned.
Andrew Wendt, one of the killed,
was near the base OF the tank when it
collapsed. He was caught by the rush
ing waters and borne almost an incred.
lille distance. His mangled and almost
naked body was found against all ole

street and FIRST avenue, more than q

Deadly Fumes From sme,tsr.

BUTTE, Mont, Dec. l4.-Five deaths
occurred in Butte, which are asserted to
have been caused by the dreadful sui.
phur and arsenic fumes from the
smelters. Many people who can do so
are leaving the city to get out of the
smoke. A mass meeting of citizens was
called for last night to take steps
against the deadly nuisance. The five
persons whose deaths it is asserted are
directly due to the deadly fumes are:
Edwin Irvine, Mrs. Henrietta Levy,
Frank Rochester, Catherine Sullivan.
John Goodnow. Last night the smoke
was more dense and suffocating than
ever. Threats are made aud it is feared
that some violence may result from the

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-The Brook
Ign, 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 DO noted that when
they lie within the harbor they will
hold the town in perfect subsection. It
is surmised that the suggestion CAME
from Admiral Sampson, who is now ia
n of tho suburbs Of Havana, a. q re-
suit Of the unfortunate eruption at the
Hotel Inglaterra. At any rate the
event brought the authorities to a sud
den realization of the exact state Of az
fairs in Havana and the imminent
danger of another such outbreak, which
perhaps might u into the proportions
of a riot aud cost many innocent lives
With Gully q small force Of American
soldiers in Havana province and those
removed at such a distance from tbs
city AS to make it difficult Of access LIZ
time to be of service to the America
element in the city, nov swollen TO
large proportions by the advent u many
hundred commercial men and others
seeking opportunities for employment,
the necessity for some protection was
apparent. 10 increase the number Of
soldiers materially is not easy, in view
OF the difficulty of transporting them
as we'll 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
anarchistic outbreaks that might occur
before the completion OF the Americas
occupation of the city.
