cessury to Maintain Order Throughout
the Whole Island—{HS Advice.
‘ li'ashirigton, D. 0., Jan. 19.——Gonerai
Leonard ‘Vx’ood, military commander of
the Department of Santiago, was be—
: fore the Senate committee on- military
i aa‘iis ycsrcrday.
l He gave a detailed account of his
operations in ,the province and in the
city of Santiago. and also gave his es—
timate of the military force necessary
to maintain order in the island.
He said that for some time the sev—
‘ cu thousand five hundred men now in
the province of Santiago should be
continued, but after a time' five thou-
sand would be sufficient. He consid-
ered. however. that a military force
wontd be necessary for some years and'
said it should be sufficient effectually
' and quickly to check any trouble before
it could gain headway. This remark
applied to the island as a whole and
he thought as many as fifty thousand
troops should be stationed throughout
Cuba. .
With properprecaution and tact he
did not anticipate trouble, and he be—
lieved that_the insurgent forces would
rapidly disintegrate in all parts of the
island.
Santiago had been a great stronghold
of the Cubans under Garcia, but they
had now practically disbanded. Out-
lining his mode of governing the prov—
ince, he said he had made no appoint»
ments to office, except upon the rec—
ommendations of Cubans, and that he
had in all cases put them upon their
honor in making such recommenda-
tions.
‘He had shown absolute trust in them
in all matters, going among them al-
ways unarmed, and leaving the books
of the administration always open to
their inspection.
He had Cubans in all departments,
and his private secretary had at one
time been a member of Gomez’s staff.
Thus they always knew how their
money had been expended and knew
.just what he was doing as their gov-
ernor. _ . .
General ‘W’ood said that his first ef-
fort had been to encourage the people
of all the towns to establish self-gov-
ernment, and he had been especially
zealous in having them select their 10—
cal officers, open schools, establish
courts, build roads, etc., and in cases
where they did not have the money for
these purposes he had aided them by
contributions from the general fund.

This system was entirely different from
the old one under Spanish rule, when
all the collections were forwarded to
Havana and never came back, only 16
per cent. of the reVenue being devoted
to local uses.
He had found the people especially
jealous of their rights in this respect
and the recent public meetings and
protests against sending their revenues
to Havana were due to this feeling.
General ‘Wood said he had two thou-
sand men making roads and that he
was getting many schools started.
Replying to a question from Senator
Hawley, he said the people were anx-
ious for the separation of the church
and state in educational matters.
Speaking of Santiago city) he said
the collections, mainly from customs,
have been sufficient to pay all legiti-
mate expensos and leave a balance of
$230,000, which he meant to devote to
cleaning out the harbor.
A Bringe Carried Away.
Cleveland, 0., Jan. 19.-—At about 1.50
o'clock yestzrday morning a dam
above the Vt'ilson avenue bridge gave
way. Back of the dam was a. body of
water a mile and a half long. hun—
dreds of feet wide. and in places twen-
ty-five to thirty feet deep.
The break allowed torrents of water
to pour down on the flats below it.
threatening the entire destruction of
the bridge.
Along the line threatened by the flood
are the big r-iants of the Standard Oil
Company, the Cleveland Paper Mills.
the Nick saughter house and other
manulactuxing plants.
Only a few persons lived in the
track of the flood and these were all
warned in time and sought safety on
higher ground.
At three o’clock the right pier of th('
bridge fell. A large force of police
and firemen wasscnt to the scene.
The bridge is a structure seven hun-
dred feet long and was built only a. few
months ago. It cost three hundred and
fifty thousand dollars.
Soon after ten o'clock the sixth abut—
ment of the bridge gave way. The
structure sagged, and then, with a tre-
mendous noise, snapped in two.
About one hundred and fifty feet of
the bridge formed an incline-plane
from the shore into the water.
The break in thgdam, which was an
unsubstantial mass of earth, occurred
while thirty men were at work in the
canal which was being sunk by the
city engineers to allow the pent up
: -' -, . ~ . Water to find a. gradual and safe out:

Denver, COL, Jan. 19.--The breaking
of a platform at the reception to Colo-
nel “T. J. Bryan at Coliseum Hall on
Tuesday night threw three hundred
persons into a mass and started a. pan-
ic in the audience.
The platform, which stood three feet
above the floor, was crowded with
prominent citizens of Colorado.
in front, among ,them Colonel Bryan
and his wife.,Governor Thomas, May-
or McMurray, and State Senator Bar-
cela, and Father VVllliam .O’Ryan, were
thrown on the people in the middle,
those in the rear being thrown forward
in a like manner.
Among the injured were Sheriff Jones
dirt—Senator. John H. Poole, A. B.' Mc-
'Gaffrey and Moses Vlancourt, sergeant
at arms of the legislature.
Probably forty others.» suffered lnju~
tries. of a slight nature, but the accident

Cecil Rhodes for Peace.
19.-—The Rev. Dr. Jo-
seph C. Hartzell of Cincinnati, Ohio,
the American Methodist Episcopal
bishop of Africa, who left New York
for Europe on January 4 last, will sail
from Liverpool on Saturday for Afri—
ca.’
He had a long conference with Mr.
Ce'cil Rhodes, and he has been granted
concessions of lands and buildings and
has been promised co-operation in their
development, especially in establishing
industrial missions among the natives.
Mr. Rhodes has invited Bishop Hartzell
and Mrs. Hartzell to visit him at his
Rhodesian home, “Groot Schuur,” sit—
uated a short distance from Cape
Town, in July next.
Discussing the Anglo-American rela-
tions, Mr. Rhodes said: ‘
“What we want is an intertwining of
mutual interests in the interests of
humanity upon the part of the English
speaking peoples throughout the world,
whereby we can prevent war. \Ve want
universal peace.”
London, Jan.
Pneumai ic- Tube Service.
Washington, D. 0., Jan. 19;-—Thc
House committee on postoflice and post
roads yesterday restored the appro-
priation of‘ £225,000 for the pneumatic
tube service, which Was stricken from
the post office appropriation last week.
The appropriation is for the continu-
ance of the service in New York, Phil-
adelphia and Boston.
Since the committee decided not to
continue the appropriation this year it
has been overwhelmed. wth pressure
to restore it. and in' consequence the
committee yesterday reversed its for-
mer action.
Later in the day, upon the urgent
solicitation of Representative Lorimer
of. Chicago, the committee decided to
remove the restriction as to the cities
where the appropriation shall be ex-
pended and to increase it to three mil—
lion dollars.
This will give Chicago and other cil-
ies an opportunity [0 fight for part of
the appropriation.
Ribbon )Ianufm'iurcr Shut.
'Allentown, Pa, Jan. 19_:~—Max iVolfl'
of New York, president of the Palace
Ribbon Manufacturing Company, was
shot at three times last night by Mbr—
ris C. Seinderstein, until lately foreman
in the mill, as he was leaving his Of-
fice in South Allentown.
Two bullets took effect, one in the
right thigh and the other in the right
shoulder, close to the spinal column.
Wolff was taken to St. Luke‘s Hospit-
al at South Bethlehem, seriously woun-
ded. ,
Seinderstein was arrested and put
under five thousand dollars’ bail for :1
hearing on Saturday. Scinderstein is
sixty-six years old and Wolff forty.
The men were until lately associated
in business, having founded the Palacc
silk mill in this city ten years ago.
Seinderstein, it is said, was under the
influence of liquor at the time of the
shooting.
The Troubles in Hungary.
Budapest, Jan. 19.--In the upper
house of the Hungarian Diet yester—
day the premier, Baron Banffy, reply-
ing to Cardinal Vaszary, archbishop of
Gran, said that the government was
aware of the gravity of the political
situation, and was seeking a. way out
of the crisis regardless of personal con-
siderations, and if the, miniSIers did
not succeed in effecting a settlement
they would confine further action
within the limits of the constitution.
as their chief desire was to prevent a
violation of the laws.
Count Szechenyi moved that the
house present an address to the em-
peror begging him to exercise his con-
stitutional rights in such a manner as
to restore as early as possible the con-
stitutional order. The motion will. be
considered on January 20
Armament. of Sweden.
Stockholm, Jan. 19.--The Parliament
of Sweden was opened yesterday. The
speech from the throne was read by the
minister of foreign affairs, Count
Douglas, who pointed out that what-_
ever might be the result of the czar’s
peace conference, the fact that it had '
been summoned did not imply that the
country could afford to neglect, the nec&
essary measures for its defence.
Sweden, he continued, must contin-
ually strengthen its defences, which
were-altogether too weak. though both
her army and navy were ’organized
with the view of defence alone, and
no one could suspect her of aggressive
schemes. _
King Oscar, at the conclusion of the
reading of the speech. expressed the
hope that Parliament would provide
for experimental mobilization.
’\ Another Strike at Colon.

Jan. 19.--The railroad and dock labor-

on the arrival here of the steamer Fi—
nance, Captain Sukeforth, which left
‘ New York on January 10, demanding
pay at the rate of one dollar in gold
per day.
The strike is due to the continuods
rise in the rate offiexchange, which is
now at 1.70 per cent; -
