Fifty bodies have already been recovered. The

lapse was so sudden and complete that it was
impossible to tell what happened. The men at
work on the reservoir, however, anticipated
trouble, a fortnight ago three arches col
lapsed and cracks developed in four others.
The public hold the engineers and contractors
responsible for the catastrophe. into which the
Cabinet has ordered a strict inquiry.
Serious disorders are feared, especially on the
occasion of the funerals of the victims, should
the authorities undertake to prevent professions

incipient demonstrations are evidencing directed
against those held to be responsible for the dis

flags are parading the district in which the
disaster occurred. A great crowd marched to
the centre Of the city and forced the merchants
to close their establishments as a sign of mourn
ing. The markets are all shut and business is
entirely at standsttu.
The work Of recovering the dead and injured
is hanpered by enormous crowds OF angry mel.

DISEASED JAPANESE LAND
ManchuriG Brings Undesirable I'm
migrants from Honolulu.
rFRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU.I

Washington. April 8.-Commissioner General
Sargent of the Bureau of immigration received
a telegram to-day from San Francisco announc-
ing the arrival there Of the steamship Man
churia, from Honolulu, with 923 Japanese on
board. OF this number sixty-three were women,
the message said, and fifty were suffering from
contagious diseases. Speaking Of the undesir-
ability OF this class of immigrants Mr.. Sargent
said:
Under the laws now in force we cannot keep
these people out of the country. We cannot
even prevent the landing of those who are
diseased no matter how their arrival may men
ace the health Of our citizens. Although have
no positive information on the subject, think
that most of these Japanese are bound for
Texas to join the colony that is being estab-
lished there The arrival of the diseased i'm
migrants will not tend to make that colony
more desirable either a place Of residence or
as a temporary resort for tourists. If the Man
churia had come from abroad instead of from
Hawaii this bureau could bar out the unde-
sirabIe passengers. The only possible way for
them to be prevented from landing would be
for the authorities of San Francisco to forbid
them getting off the ship, under the municipal
health regulations. If they took some such
course as that 1 can promise that the federal
authorities would gladly ala them in any way
possible.
