Michael Gaffney, of Clark's Sum-
NIT Burned About the Face.

Michael Gaffney. employed by the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
company as a pump runner at the
Clark's Summit tank, had his face
badly burned by an explosion of coal
gas yesterday afternoon.
A large quantity of gas had accumu-
lated in the furnace and it exploded
when he opened the door. He had
stopped over to peer in at the fire and
the scorching flames struck him square
in the face.
He was taken to the Moses Taylor
hospital for treatment. 1t is thought
his eyes were not permanently injured
but it will be several days before this
will be known definitely.

and waving their handkerchiefs to the
American flag.
Just before going ashore from the
Utstein, Consul Brice told the Star men
of his determination to distribute the
supplies if he lived to do it. He was
urged to stay on the Utstein and pro-
coed to America. on her, but he said:
mo, my duty is here; l have a trust;
these poor, starving Cubans need me.
If l were to go, they would not get a
pound of these supplies.
Il am going to give them to the peo-
pie to whom they belong. if I can.
Then / will go if it should become
necessary"
The Norwegian consul, Mr.. Brinker-
hoff, has expressed his desire to send
number of Cuban women and children,
including his own family, aboard the
Utstein for safety. Consul Brice said
they would be taken care of. and urged
the captain of the Utstein to take her
to sea without delay.
you are safe on board the ship, even
in harbor,'' he said, but you wiz be
safer after you have left Cuban
waters"
The Americans were sent on board
the Utstein after Consul Brice had Wis
tied General Armas, civil governor of
Matanzas, to ask that the Americans
be protected from the threatened vio-
lence.
General Armas told him bluntly that
he could offer no protection; that such
was not in mis- power.
When Mr.. Brice went aboard the
steamer to bid the Americans good
bye, he was pale with suppressed emo
ton. but he spoke of his safety with
confidence.
Speaking of the consul, the Stars cor
respondent says:
"Brice has unlimited nerve. He is
a western man. He holds at least the
respect of the Spaniards in Mantazas,
even if they do not love him. The
Cubans idolize him. a man we'll quail
fed to know what he was talking
about. said on Sunday: 'Brice is in no
danger here, even should the Spaniards
determine TO do violence to him, for it
will be known to the Cubans at once.
They will protect him. Not with arms,
for they have no arms, but he will be
concealed or smuggled through the lines
into the camp of the insurgents or else
will be sent to sea and placed in a pO
sition of safety. If none of these eX-
pedients are possible. he will be con-
cealed here in Matanzas safe from dan
ger. There is an understanding among
the Cubans that he shall be protected
at all hazards.

Harm, Seek British Protection.
New York. April "a dispatch to
the Herald from st. Thomas says:
So serious has the situation become
IN San Juan de Porto Rico that the
United States consul there, p. c.. Han
ma. has been ordered to this island.
where the rule of Denmark will insure
his safety.
Fearing an outbreak against foreign
ers, especially against Americans. Con-
sui Hanna and all the members of the
American colony spent the night on
board the British steamer Virginus.
They did not dare to remain in their
homes. not knowing what direction the
fury of the infiamed populace might
tcEa.
Military rule, which always prevails
in Porto Rico. has now become most
stringent. The censor will not pass any
news, and I am forced to use special
boats TO this island to file my dis
patches.
Even with the greatest efforts the po-
lice and the troops have not been able
to prevent bloodshed.
Weylerism is blamed for the failure
of autonomy, and the troubles follow
ing. The elections are known TO have
been falsified, the military forces TAX
ing possession of the polling booths to
insure the success Of their candidates.
The Indignation of the people at the
government forcibly imposed on them
is beyond bounds.
The number of persons in the prisons
throughout the island has been in
creased so per cent. There have been
riots and blo8dshed in the principal
towns-Pence, Aquadilla, Cayey and
Hegabaya. The arrival of a torpedo
fleet from Spain, it is believed. would
cause an uprising against both Amer
leans and British if they had not all
got safely away before that time.
