The bursting of the old copper mine
dam in ther town, of Bristol yesterday
caused the greatest flood ever known in
that sec. ion, and it is estimated the dam
age will reach over $100,00) from this
alone. The town of Bristol was a heavy
sufferer during the storm of a few weeks
'ago,. .when; six men lost their lives, but the
waste of waters before daylight yesterday,
morning eclipses all previous records. The
heavy rain and melted snow on the woun
, tains swelled the basin of the old copper
mine dam in Whiggsville, the northern
s'ection of this town, until It burst, tearing
away 100 feet wiuViu the granite masonry
and letting a volume of water, covering
seventy-live acres and forty fee high, into
the river below, which itself was a roar-

The great
body of water! tore down the
valley with a roar that was heard aboe
the nois'e of the stcrm for miles away. For
the first two' miles there wore no build
ings near the river, and the water poured
out on tlie marshes and plains. At Forest
ville, four. lniles below, people living near
the river were obliged toj abandon their
residences, and the water broke into the
lower stories iu many cases before the in
mates were out of bed. The roar of the
flood aroused families for miles around,
and many people whose houses the" flood
had not reached, packed up what effects
they could, iki anticipation of being sum
marily evicted, j
The highway bridges on inearly all roads
crossing the Pequaback were swept' away,
Ten in all have gone out iind others are
badly damaged. The streets of Bristol
and the village of Forestville were badly
washed in many places. The New Eng
land roadbejd was undermined in many1
places, and wrecking crews were at work
all day. It is estimated that the town of
Bristol will lose from to 875,030 by
damage to the bridge and roads.
A bad freight wreck occurred near For
restyille. The engine of a special freight
ran into a washout and va9 capsized.
Seven cars were smashed to atoms and one
of the trainmen badly injured.
The storm in Winsted and other sections
of Litchfield county was very severe. The
Philadelphia, Reading and New England
railroad tracks are under j water in many
places, and) traffic has been suspended.
The loss in Litchfield county alone is esti

FEIEIIDLY TO THE OLD AELIY.
The Ex-Commander of. the T'orces in Amer
ica Publishes an Address to the General
Public and to His Old Comrades Defining
Ilis Position. ; . .
v New YoBK,March2. Ballington Booth,
ex-commander pf ,the Salvation Army in
the United States, gave the. following
statement out last night! It is signed by
Mr. and Mrs. Booth: j-j
i "Being continually .pressed upon all sides
to state definitely the action we shall take
in the future, we now desire " to make
known our present position.
'We did not wish it said we had taken
the Salvation Army that we had through
ambition swept the organization in this
country out of the general's hands or that
we had taken property which v we had
acquired while owing allegiance to him.
Furthermore we did not want to influence
those under his authority, through their
loyalty and steadfastness to us, nor have
it said that we had proved faithless to a
trust reposed in us so: far as administra
tion was concerned. We had no alternative
but to accept our dismissal, which closed
our allegiances and negotiations with
London. . . , '
"We cannot, however, close our eyes to
the fact that we have another allegiance.
We are not our own and cannot dispose of
our lives and influences to please our
r.elves. God has called us to work for Him.
We dare not, therefore, remain idle. We
have al.-o at heart the interests of our coun
try which so Toudly calls to us to continue
our mission. t;
"Seeing that the people of the United
States of America, in an urgentj and un
mistakable manner, have voiced their de
sire that we should inaugurate a move
ment affording us an opportunity to con
tinue our labors for the uplifting of the
. unchurched and unchristian people of our
country, and as. there appears to be no al
ternative between this course and retiring
from public service, we have decided on
the former course of action. ! It is furthest
from our desires that such ;a new and in
dependent movement should bo hostile to,
the one Ave have labored so lono and so
hard to upbuild. ,- Wo shall probably have
but siall bsginr ig ani gain step by
; step. ; 1 . . '.-.v v'
"WecAnnot at this juncture give the
date whe
ii we shall iio able to commence
public wbrk. InfleeA, it will be, seen to be
wise to do nothing iijt haste, lest it should
be ill done, but to da all with forethought,
that it may be well and permanently
done. . j ;: T ' : , ;
Ex-Commander Booth and hi wife have
also prepared! a state'meiit, which they
will send to the members of the Salvation
Army throughout the country, in the
course of which they say:
"We are not today outside the ranks we
love because of unwillingness to surrender
our commands or leave the country. It
has been, and is still stated repeatedly
that we 'refused to. obey orders,' and hence
were untrue to the principles we had been
taught. This is entirely false.
'The obedience of other commissioners
is quoted by London against us,- but had
other commissioners been forced into our
position they, tob, Would have conscien
tiously had to write their inability to ac
cept another command. Our letter to in
ternational headquarters of Jan. 31 stated
that were were going quietly through our
farewell, but that If or certain reasons we
jcould not feel free to enter upon another
Command. We were open to be written
t to upon these reasons, and had promised
jto take no precipitate action, but they im
mediately adopted a policy of haste and
coercion, and would give us no time for
correspondence or thought.
We felt bitterly the fact that these or-
ders came at a time wnen they in London
knew that there were aimcuities iiKe a
very checkmate to our lives. The letter
we wrote has been 'called a resignation,
but it was in truth a statement of the
situation and our reasons. We, therefore,
repeat that we are in 9-ur present position
not through disobedience of orders es-
pecially as no orders other than that of
giving up our command had been received j
fook the situatipn in their own hands
and forced us 0.''

; Madrid, March 2. --If one may judge by
the things that have been said and some
of the things that have been done yester
day the Spanish people are enthusiastic
ally determined to go to war forthwith with
the United States, and to speedily avenge
the insult which, it is fancied, has been
offered to the haughty pride of Spain by
the United States senate in determining
to recognjze the Cuban provisional gov
ernment as a belligerent power, and to ask
the president to use his good offices with
Spain to obtain recognition of Cuban in
dependence. . Some of the organs of public opinion de
clare that the bankruptcy of the Spanish
goyernment would pot prevent the Span
ish people from taking up the quarrel on
their own account, and fitting out expedi
tions and maintaining themselves at their
own expense while combatting the inso
lence of the assertions of the United
States. . ; :' .
Sunday was characterized by many man
ifestations of public wrath and excitement,
and in Barcelona the Spaniards have gone
to the extreme of using violence -upon the
sonsulate of the United States and ston-

ingit, breaking several windows in the
building. No bodily harm was done to
anybody, except to certain members of the i
crowd, which was charged by the, police .;
when the stones were thrown at the United
States consulate. ;
The persons that took part in the disor
derly demonstrations clearly had the sym
pathies of the people with them. The on
lookers from the neighboring houses'
cheered them with great enthusiasm. The
balconies and windows were filled with
ladies waving their handkerchiefs as the
students passed through the streets, and
the applause was deafening when the stu
dents publicly tore up a number of Amer
ican flags which they had purchased in the
town. .' '.' ;"
In view of the excited state of the public
mind the United States legation in this
city has been placed under the special
veillance of the police. In addition, the
authorities have tendered to Minister Tay
lor a guard of police at the entrance to his
private residence, but Mr. Taylor has de
clined the offer.
The preparations of the government are
not all of a peacef ul character, however.
It is significant that the minister of ma
rine, Admiral Jose Maria Beranger, has
issued orders for the training squadron to
i be prepared to sail.' It is regarded as prob
able that this squadron will proceed
shortly to Cuba. It has also been ordered
that all other .warships available be forth
with armed and equipped and put into
condition for active service. In addition
to this about fifty merchant steamers avail
able for the trovernment service will be
provided with naval armament
For the military branch of the service a
fresh expedition of 20,003 infantry and
5,000 Cavalry will be equipped and put on
a war footing and will be kept in readi
ness to leave in the shortest notice.
The student class seems to form a large
proportion of the inflammatory element
which is making so much noise. The stu
dents of this city are busily at work to or
ganize a great demonstration of . protest
against the vote of the United States.' At
Valencia all the students of the university
paraded the streets and then gathered be
fore the United States consulate shouting:
"Death to Uncle Sam!" "Viva Spain 1"
and "Long live the army !"
Saturday evening showed a high'degree
of popular excitement in this city in all
public places. The bands at the numerous
cafes made It a point to play only national
airs, which unfailingly aroused the great
est enthusiasm, all within hearing arising
and standing uncovered, wnile it was
played, amid shouts of "Long live Spain!"
