BLOWN Up BY DYNAMITE
Opinion of william Stacey About Gas
Tank Collapse.

The New York Herald of this morning
says: According to William Stacey Of the
Stacey Manufacturing Company of Cincin-
natl, q dynamite cartridge was the direct
cause Of the collapse of the enormous gas
tank in avenue A, which killed several men
last week. Mr.. Stacey is an expert tank
constructor and in the last thirty years
has constructed several of the largest gas
ometers in this country.
Il spent three hours in examining the
ruins. The workmanship and the material
used could not have been improved upon.
The tank was fully capable of withstanding
the pressure fof which it had been calcu-
lated. Not rivet was broken and not
seam spread. The thick steel plates how
ever, are cracked as though made of cast
iron. The foundation was completely blown
out and spread in every direction.
There was g tremendous upheavel from
beneath the center of the tank which caus-
ed the grea- mass of steel plates. standards
and girderS to fall in that direction
All these things point, in my estimation
to q dynamite explosion. Five pounds of
the explosive iB a gas pipe would have been
sufficient. If the tank had been destroyed
by the water it contained a large hole
would have been forced in one side of tho
tank. The water would have escaped
through this hole and that would have
been all the damage done. Mr. w. H
White of No. 81 Pine street an engineer
agrees with me in saying that an explosion
destroyed the tank. When the ruins are
cleared away 1 think an enormous hole will
be found here the dynamite was placed. II

HARVARD'S CENTER RUSH DEAD.
Percy Jaffray Dies From Injuries Re.
ceiXed at Foot BALL

a dispatch from Cambridge, Mass, YES
terday says: Percy Jaffray the center of
Harvard S foot ball eleven of this year died
this afternoon in his college room, in Bow
street. The news of his death was a shock
to the university, as he had attended a
dinner the evening before at the Zeta-Psi
Club. During the evening however he
felt rather poorly, and withdrew to the
rooms of the Porcelain Club, where he
rested before going to his ROOM He had
planned to take the midnight train for his
home at lrvington-on- Hudson, n. Y, but
feeling bad, decided to stay in Cambridge
In the recent Yale game he received a
slight injury in the leg which necessitated
the use of crutches during the next week
A clot of blood had formed in one of the
veins. Whether or not the cause of his
death today was that clot of blood which
had worked up into the heart may never be
known, but at least that is one of the
opinions advanced this evening in Cam
bridge.
Jaffray was twenty-one years Of age. He
was affiliated with Harvard's leading clubs.
such as the Institute D. X. E., Zeta Psi
Porcelain and Hasty Pudding. His popu-
tarty won him the election to the chair
manship of the class committee one of the
highest class day honors. The news of his
death was wired at once to New York and
his father and brother arrived in Cam
bridge early in the evening.

NEGRO SOLDIER KILLED.
Assaulted Street Car Conductor a
Macon, Ga.

A dispatch from Macon. Ga, yesterday
says: Private Turner of the 9th Virginia
Regiment was shot and almost instantly
killed by o. A. Thrower, a street car con-
ductor, this afternoon. Turner boarded
Thrower's car very drunk and used the
vilest language imaginable in the presence
of ladies. Thrower then pulled him out of
the car to the rear platform and kept him
there until a lady got off
While Thrower was assisting the lady off
the negro kicked him several times and ap-
piled more vile epithets. A negro on a
trailer car then called Turner, but after a
short talk he returned to Thrower's car
and, with knife in his hand swore he
would cut Thruwers head off and advanced
on him.
AS he stepped on the platform Thrower
hred, the bullet striking the negro in the
mouth. He died in fifteen minutes A
crowd of negro soldiers and civilians soon
gathered and swore vengeance on Thrower
and all street car conductors. One conduc-
tor was chased several blocks by the ne
groes.
Guards have been placed on all cars on
the line leading to the negro camps and to-
night the camp is under strong guard to
prevent outbreak on the part of the
negro soldiers.

ABOLITiON OF CONTRACT
Commissioners Views of Present Method of
Cleaning the Streets
Result of Test Provided for in Ap-
preparation Act--COlIectiOn and
Disposal of Ashes.

The District Commissioners today, in a
letter to Senator W.tB. Allison, chairman
OF the Senate committee on appropriations,
recommended the abolition of the present
system OF cleaning the streets of the city
by the contract system. The Commission
ers called attention to the provision in the
act making appropriations to provide for
the expenses of the government of the Dis
trlct of Columbia for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1899, appropriating $4,000 to be
expended under the immediate direction
of the Commissioners, without contract"
and directing that the accounts thereof
be so kept as to show the comparative cost
OF the hand sweeping by day labor and I'M
der contract and transmitted a report of
Mr. Warner Stutler, the superintendent of
street cleaning, upon four-months' trial
under this provision, beginning July l.
1898, and ending October 80, 1898.
Report of Superintendent.
The superintendent of street cleaning re-
ports that he has cleaned daily 30S, ,5l2
square yards of street paving, or a total of
29olS,639 square yards during the four
months, at a total cost of $569s 60, which is
at the rate of a trifile less than 10 1-3 cents
per 1,0Oo square yards. The contractors
price Tor the same kind of work is 80 cents
per LOCO square yards. The superintendent
also states that during this year, under the
provision above quoted, the District will
sweep by the hand-cleaning method, for
the S1o00O appropriated, an area equal to
that swept by the contractor at a cost to
the District Of $26, ,242. 81. 1t may also be
noted that the contractor pays his laborers
on the hand-cleaning work 81 per day,
while the District pays them for the same
work S1.25 per day.
The Commissioners state they have "en-
tire confidence in the statement made by
the superintendent of street cleaning, and
are therefore constrained to recommend the
abolition of the present system of cleaning
the streets of Washington under contract"
Removal of Ashes.
1t is also understood that the Commits
sioners will urge the committee to so amend
the pending District appropriation bill as
to provide for the municipal collection and
disposal of ashes and like refuse.

IN MADRID IN APRIL,
Secret Correspondence Of the Navy
Department..

secret correspondence Of the Navy
Department..
The report of the bureau of navigation OF
the Navy Department just made public
contains the following, dated Madrid, Spain,
April 16, from a correspondent describing
conditions at the Spanish capital:
1t is said quite openly here that the in
tention of the government is to make some
kind of an effort on our coasts. This
comes to me from so many sources that
am inclined to believe they have this plan
in view; but l have been unable to verify
the reports or to get at any of the details.
Just at this moment here in Madrid,
everything is quiet. Considerable turbu-
lence is reported from the provinces How
great this may be We are unable to judge,
as the government is keeping a sharp
watch on the kilograms and does not per-
nit any very exciting news to be disSem-
mated. There was some excitement, and
for two days considerable danger of a mob,
here il Madrid, after the announcement Of
the proclamation of the armistice in Cuba.
That crisis is now apparently passed.
Everybody here expects war, and the
lower classes ardently desire it.
The government and the more intelligent
classes dread 1t: are willing to do anything
they can to avoid it without revolution, but
will accept it if. from their point of view it
people With all sorts of nonsense about the
superior bravery of the Spanish sailor the
superior discipline on board the Spanish
ships and the greater fighting power of the
navy. The belief in this superiority of the
Spanish navy over that of the United
States accounts, in a large measure, in my
opinion for the determination to fight us.
This opinion is shared also by many in
teligent persons-in fact. ! believe, by all
Spaniards. They say they have nothing
to lose, they could not be worse off with
the war than without it, they are about
to lose Cuba anyhow; but they can do in
calculable damage to our commerce: Sc
rousy injure, if not destroy, our navy,
and, although they would probably be
beaten in the end, they will have taught
US a salutary lesson in the meantime.

George Leary Preferred Death to Dis

George Leary, forty-five years old, of No.

carbolic acid rather than tell his wife he
had lost his situation. He had told his lit
tie girl of the pretty presents that Santa

parently he preferred death to Witness
ing her disappointment and that of his
wife. He rented a loom in a lodging house
at No. 20S Sth avenue Wednesday night
and yesterday his body was found on the
floor
Leary had been drinking heavily for two
weeks. He went for a walk Sunday after
noon, and did not return. Mrs Leary be-
came alarmed when he did not put in an
to a department store in Broadway where
he had been employed, and learned he had
been discharged.
