INDIAN lNIERLOPER5 IN MONTANA
Matter VIII be Paced Before the GOV.
ernmc ut at Washington.

Helena, Dec. Ex-Governor Richards has
decided to put the matter of depredations
by British Indians before the authorities
at the national capital. For years the In
dams have crossed the border into the
Flathead country and killed game out of
season, and In some instances annoyed
the settlers by petty thieving operations
carried on in all seasons of the year. Last
May three Indians, wards of the British
government, were arrested in Flathead
county and fined $3.50 for violating the
game law. A. w. Vowel. Indian super
ntendent at Victoria. b. c., asked the
governor to remit the fines. but this the
governor refused to do. Then the super
intendent wrote the governor that there
had probably been a mistake made, that
he had caused the alleged depredations
to be investigated and had found them
largely false. and he enclosed statement
from 10 Tobacco Plains settlers to the
effect that the Indians had committed no
depredations except the killing of deer
out of season.
Today the governor replied that viola
lions of the game laws must be stopped,
and that he would lay the matter before
the proper authorities in Washington,
with a view to securing protection for
the state from the wards of the British
government

STILL LOYAL TO SPAIN
A Demonstration at Havana in
Honor Of Campos.
ALLCLASSESOF MEN TOOK PART
Campos Protests Against the Dcsola:ion
OF the Island In the Name
OF Liberty.

Havana, Dec. 29.-Last nights dem
onstration of political parties in honor
of Captain General Campos proved the
grandest popular outburst of sympathy
toward the Spanish cause that has ever
taken place in Havana. About 10000
people in all took part in the demonstra-
ton. Santos Gusman of the Constitu-
ton spoke on behalf of the conserva-
tives. General Campos answered as fol-
lows:
What can reply to the noble words
of Senior Gusman in behalf of the three
parties? l congratulate myself upon
the unity of the political parties. and
entreat you not to forget at this mo-
ment what should be the standard of
our future doings. Genuine Cubans will
forever remain under the glorious ban
ner of the civilized discoverer of Amer
lea. Your ton in my honor
is a proof of your love towards Spain
and ] protest against the vandal deeds
of those who, in the name of liberty and
independence, desolate this beautiful
and wealthy island, which is not even
the land where they are born.
I'm the presence of this glorious DEM
onstration feel proud that l was presi-
dent of the council by which liberty to
the negroes was sanctioned, because
that law equalizes all who are brought
up under the glorious Castillian ban
ners. Thanks to you, in the name OF
Spain. of our virtuous queen and of the
king"
The address was followed by shouts
of "Viva Espana' and great and pro
longed cheering. The different party
leaders all signed the message, which
was sent to Senior Canovas Del Castillo
the Spanish premier, giving a descrip-
| ton of the successful meeting and dem
| onstration.

JOSE MACEO Is VERY MUCH THERE
>nd The Spanish troops Are Finding
Abundant Occupation.


Havana, Dec. 29.-Uneasiness is caus-
ed in official circles by reports coming
from the province of Santiago de Cuba.
The report of Jose Maceo's flight, which
was received here, seem to have been
without foundation, as there are re-
newed evidences of his activity in that
province and troops stationed there are
finding abundant occupation. The
Spanish authorities have reason to sus-
pect that a movement is contempla ted
in the Oriental province, Santiago de
Cuba, to bring about a junction of the
insurgents there, and the troops are
actively engaged in trying to prevent
the coming together of Jose Maceo and
Rabi, whose combined forces would eff
feet a diversion and prevent the with
drawal of Spanish troops to reinforce
those acting against Gomez in Matan-
Zas and Santa Clara provinces. Moth
ing authentic is known of the where
abouts and doings of Gomez and his
forces, who are said to be threatening
Cienfuegos.
The authorities here still continue to
claim with jubilation that the insur-
gents are powerless to capture any
towns or seaports.
