MASONRY CRUSHEs HUNDREDS,
Madrid Workmen Reused to Frenzy,
March With Black Flags.

Madrid, March 10.-Carrying black
banners, 5000 workmen made a dem
onstration near the scene of Satur.
days reservoir disaster, in which 400
persons were killed or injured. The po-
lice on selling the flags were stoned
by the crowd and several on both
sides were seriously injured.
An exact estimate Of the casualties
Is still impossible. 1t is stated that
there were 236 men in the lower part
Of the reservoir, all of whom were
killed.
1t appears that underneath the
foundation Of the reservoir which
gave way with such disastrous results
were water pipes used to supply the
palace and old Madrid. The vault was
built Of cement, with iron Orders. as
were also the supporting columns.
The first fall caused all the pillars to
bend and the end Of the iron work to
stretch, resulting in a general and
uniform collapse.
WOrkmen who have been questioned
say that they were compelled to build
too rapidly with materials so defective
that a disaster vas bound to happen.
Many heartrending incidents and
painful scenes are reported. Ten OF
those who were rescued alive have
gone mad. A huge row stood around
the scene throughout the night watch
ing the attempts at rescue IN the light
of huge electric lamps.
