Inclose the chutes that tbo engineer saw that
he was going under tho breaker. Ho re

Havana, Dec. 14. When a funeral
procession which was escorting tho
hearse containing the remains of Jesus
Sotolongo, who was killed Sunday
night, reached the corner of Infanta
and San Jose streets yesterday a vio
lent affray took place between members
of the funeral party and some em

Colonel Armando ltlvas; Francisco
Lucas Blanco, a Spaniard; Ramon Gar
cia, a Spaniard; three women and two
children. Garcia, who was stabbed,
may die, and Portuondo was badly
hurt.
One version of the affray Is that the
Military hospital employes and a num
ber of Spanish privates, who were
standing In the hospital portico, refused
to remove their hats when requested
to do so by persons In the procession.
Thereupon the Cubans, it Is alleged,
tried to knock off the hats and a fight
ensued. The privates tired upon the
procession, the windows of the hearse
being broken and bullets striking the

The Defeated Presidential: Candidate Now
on His Way to Washington to Flgbt
Against a colonial Policy, Al
though lie Favors Ratifying -.
the Feace Treaty.
Savannah, (la.. Dec. 14. Colonel W.
J. Bryan, upon his leaving his com
mand yesterday, the Third Nebraska
regiment, gave the following Interview:
"My reason for leaving the army
was set forth In my letter to the adju
tant general tendering my resignation.
Now that the treaty of peace has been
concluded, I believe that I can be more
useful to my country as a civilian than
a soldier.
"The people of the United States,
having rescued Cuba from foreign con
trol, may now resume the discussion
of the domestic problems which con
front this nntlon and to the considera
tion of the new questions arising out of
the war.
"I may be in error, but In my Judg
ment our nation Is In greater danger
just now than Cuba. Our people de
fended Cuba against foreign arms; now
they must defend themselves and their
country agnlnst a foreign Idea the
colonial Idea of European nations.
Heretofore greed has perverted the
government and used its Instrumental
interferences for private gain, but now
the very foundation principles of our
government are assaulted.
"The Imperialistic idea is directly an
tagonistic to the Idea and ideals which
have been cherished by the American
people since the signing ot the declara
tion of Independence. Our nation must
give up any Intention of entering upon
a colonial policy (such as Is now pur
sued by Rurnpenn countries) or It must
abandon the doctrine that governments
' derive their Just powers from the con
sent of the governed. This nation can
not endure half republic and half colony
half free and half vassal. Our form
of government, our traditions, our pres
ent Interests and our future welfare al)
forbid our entering upon a career of
conquest."
Colonel Bryan favors ratifying the
treaty of peace and then "dealing with
the subject In our own way." He left
last night for Washington, and Intends
to enter actively Into the fight against
a colonial pcdlcy.
