EXPLOSION AT THE EMERGENCY
4 Gas Generator Blows Up and
Causes Much Excitement.

A report like that of a toy cannon broke
the stiffness at the Emergency Hospital
last night when a gas generator used for
fumigating purposes exploded on the sec
ond fioor of the building. Patients awoke
with start and nurses and physicians
hurried to see what was the trouble. No
body was hurt
Yesterday II was determined to fumi-
gate the room used for surgical operations
on the second floor. Accordingly the doors
and windows of the room Were sealed
fast and the generator. containing gas,
was set to work in the hallway, sending
fumes into the closed room by means of
tubing from without. In some manner
the generator seems to have become
oVercharged with gas and II eX-
pIoded The noise of the explosion could
have been heard for blocks. Policemen
and outsiders, besides those within the
hospital all went to investigate. 1t was
found that the metal top of the Sener-
ator had been blown off and had imbed-
ded itself in the ceiling, ten feet above
the floor. So great was the force OF the
explosion that the door of the surgical
room was damaged as well as the wall.
1t could not be determined last night
what really caused the explosion. but an
investigation may follow today.

AFTER THE sERGEANTs.
An Order FOrbidding Their Use OF
the Department bicycles.

Some comment has been occasioned in
police circles by the PRONUNCIATION of an
order by Major Sylvester prohibiting
members of the force, except members of
the bicycle squad. from riding bicycles
while on duty. except in cases of emer-
gency.
II is believed that this order has been
specially aimed at certain serseants, who
have made practice of availing them
selves of the bicycles belonging to the
department in making the ROUNDS OF the
precincts when specific orders had been
issued keeping the department bicycles in
reserve in case of emergency.
IL is further DIRECTED that the mounted
ieutenants avail themselves OF their
horses in making frequent rounds of their
precincts.
The order. which was issued Thursday
afternoon, reads:
mo mcmbets of The force are author
ized to ride bicycles in the performance
of duty aside from those mounted under
the law-the five pT1rateS in each precinct
except in eases of emergency, when the
wheels at the stations are 10 be used-and
at no other time. 1t
Mounted leutenants are expected to
utilize their hprses in making frequent
rounds of their prTeincts."

Admiral Schley and his counsel. Jere-
miah NJ. Wilson. Isador Rayner, and
James Parker. had "A long conferonc yes
terday to map out the line they will pur-
sue before the Court OF Enquiry. After
ward Messrs. Wilson and Rayner said
that the explanation offered by Admiral
dowlSon in connection with the newspa-
per interview, in which he was made to
comment on the Schey case. was not
satisfactory to them. II was learned
that the statement of Admiral Howison
had not changed in any way the feeling
OF Admiral Schley's counsel that his eligi-
hility for service on the court has been
brought into question by the newspaper
interview and his right to serve will be
challenged when the court meets.
Mr.. Rayner presented a brief of the
Schley side of the case covering 200 type
written pages, reviewing the operations
OF the flying squadron under Admiral
Schley's command from the time it left
Key West in May. 1895. until after the
naval battle of Santiago on July 5. 1t
included also review of the allegations
against Admiral Schley that developed
subsequent to the war with Spain. Ad-
miral Schley and his counsel went over
the brief carefully. They will have con-
ferences daily until the Court of Enquiry
assemblies on September u.
Judge Wilson said last night that 1t
would be a great misfortune if Admiral
Sampson were unable to appear before the
court as witness. Admiral Sampson s
testimony was necessary, he said, to get
at the whole truth of the matters to be
investigated. and that was what every
body wanted.
Gustaf Il. Claeson, the man at the
wheel of the Texas during the Santiago
fight, has been found. After searching
the country for him. and cabling across
the water II his old home in Sweden
without success. Cldeson has been discov-
cred in Brooklyn. The publication of the
TACT that he was missing. brought forth
lnfoi nation as to his whereabouts. The
story concerning him was read by
friend in Washington yesterday and COM
muiicated to the Navy Department
Claeson is in Brooklyn. and his street
address was furnished to the judge ad-
vocate, who will Immediately communi-
cate with him. He is regarded as an i'm
rortant witness, though as he is not now
in the navy he is under no obligations to
appear before the Court. An effort will be
made, however. To induce him TO come
here and sestify.
