IN SECRET SESSION..
Gold Republicans Favor Any Kind Of
Fusion tn Heat the Democrats.

a secret meeting OF the delegates and
alternates to the republican county
convention, to be held Thursday. was
held last evening at the Auditorium.
For the first time in the history of the
Auditorium that institution was closed
To the public. Pass words were revived
and nobody was admitted unless he
could show that he belonged. IL has
been customary in Butte for political
meetings to be open and public up to
this year. But last night the man
without the password could not get
In, and I'm fact. nobody was admitted
unless he vas vouched for. BY all the
tokens Clark's money had captured the
works. For some time IL had been be-
lieved that before the end came II
would be found that the majority of the
delegates were real republicans. This.
however. was a mistake. Republican,
ism fell to the ground before Clark's
money and when the caucus met last
night the agents of Clark boosted that
they had bought up a majority and IL
seems hat they had.
Judge Harwood acted as chairman OF
last nights meeting and j. F. Davies
as secretary. The debate was hot. The
men who had not been bought up made

subject.
While it is quite clear that the Spanish
squadron has suffered a crushing defeat,
the dispatches leave unclear the in

American squadron suffered material

MoNTEJo's ACCOUNT.
Spanish Admiral Sunk His Ships to
Prevent CAPTURE

Madrid, via Paris, May 1.-The time
of the retreat of the American squad
ron behind the merchantmen was 11:30
a. m. The naval bureau at Manila
sends the following report, signed
''Montejo Admiral"
In the middle of the night the
American squadron forced the forts,
and before daybreak appeared off Ca
vite. The night was completely dark.
AT 7:30 the bow of the Reina Maria
Christina took fire, and soon after the
poop also was burned. At s o'clock,
with my staff 1 went on board the Isle
de Cuba. The Reina Maria Christina
and the Castillo were then entirely en-
veloped in flames.
The other ships, having been dam
aged, retired into Baker bay. Some
had to be sunk to prevent their falling
into the hands of the enemy. The
losses are numerous, notably Captain
Cardarzo, a priest and nine other per-
sons.
London, May 2-The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Financial News, tele-
graphing this morning, says:
THE Spanish ministry of marine
claims a victory for Spain because the
Americans were forced to retire behind
the merchantmen. Captain Cardarzo,
in command of the Reina Maria Chris
tina, went down with the ship. The
Spaniards fought splendidly. There is
the greatest anxiety for further de-
tails

Washington, May Washington is
rejoiced tonight. Not since the dark
days of the great civil conflict of
third of a century ago have the people
of this city been so profoundly moved
by war news as they We're this evening.
The first battle of the disappointment
can war has been fought, and victory
lies with Admiral Dewey's squadron
under the stars and stripes.
That was enough to set the people of
Washington almost in a frenzy of en-
thusiastic rejoicing. For days they, in
common with the people throughout the
country. have been waiting news from
the Philippines. as everything pointed
to battle at Manila that might be a
decisive conflict of the war. When the
news came, indicating great victory
for the American squadron. the enthu-
siasm of the people was let loose, and
the streets of the city have rung with
cheers throughout the night.
FIRST NEWS.
The first news of the battle received
in Washington came in a brief cable
gram to the Associated Press from
Madrid about o'clock this evening.
AS the night wore on the cable con-
tinued to sing the news of victory for
the squadron of Admiral Dewey, and
the interest grew into tremendous ex-
element.
Ordinarily, Washington is the quiet
est of cities on Sunday, but as bulletin
after bulletin was posted in front of
the newspaper offices, each successive
one conveying information more graft
flying than its predecessor, the crowds
in the streets became uproarious.
Good news, as we'll as bad, spreads
rapidly, and by 10 o'clock the streets
were crowded with people all discuss
ing the one exciting topic of the hour.
Hundreds gathered in front of the bull
letin boards and every Scintilla OF
newsstand it was all glorious-was re-
ceived with enthusiastic cheers. While
victory had been expected, the news of
it-coming, as it did, from Spanish
sources-gave vent to the patriotism of
the people, which has been pent up for
days. 1t was a spontaneous outburst
of patriotic feeling that scarcely knew
no bounds. Admiral Dewey's name was
on every lip and his praises were sung
in the rejoicings of the people
PRESIDENT RECEIVED 1T.
Thus far no official advices have been
received by the government. but the
Associated Press dispatches were trans
mitted TO the president and officials of
the administration as rapidly as they
were received. The president, in COM
pany with several of his advisors, read
the bulletins in the library of the
White House early in the evening, but
later in the night he went to his office
on the second floor of the executive
mansion, where, until a late hour, he
continued to peruse every dispatch with
deepest interest. The news was evil

to him, but no statement could be OBJ
tanned at the executive mansion con-
corning the battle. or its possible con-
sequences
NAVY OFFICIALS.
Officials of the navy department were
reticent in discussing the conflict, in

the absence of official information, but
they made no pretenSe Of cOncealing
their great qualification. Secretary
Long declined to comment upon the
subject, but it was evident that he felt
relieved. 1t has been known for days
at the navy department that conflict
at Manila was inevitable, and while
no great fear of the result was ex-
pressed, there was yet deep concern
in the heart of every official. To-
nights news removes a great weight
from the minds of all.
When Secretary Bliss was shown the
first dispatch, briefly recounting the
unheSitatingly expressed his gratifica-
ton at the result and gave utterance
to the hope that Admiral Dewey's fleet
had not suffered greatly.
Senator Hanna and Mr.. Chauncey
NJ. Depew of New York, who were with
Secretary Bliss at the time, were de-
lighted at the advices and made no
cencealment of their pleasure.
Secretary Alger declared that it was
a glorious victory" but. in common
with other officials of the administra-
ton, declined to make extended COM
ment upon it.
INTENSE JOY.
Navy and army circles. after mani
Testing throughout the day the great
est eagerness for news from the Philip
pines, received with intense joy the
advices telling of the victory of Ad-
miral Dewey's fleet Their satisfaction
at the defeat of the Spanish has been
strengthened by the news coming, as it
did, from Madrid, and they were I'M
reserved in expressing their gratifca-
ton upon the signal triumph of the
American forces.
At the Army and Navy club, large
company was gathered and read and
commented upon the story of the en-
gagements, as it was presented in the
bulletins of the Associated Press At
the club, down town. at their homes,
and wherever seen, the officers were
free in giving vent to the pleasure they
felt at the news and declaring the
confidence which they had entertained
throughout that the American ships,
their officers and men, would demon
strate their superiority over the Span
ish fleet in the Philippines waters
HAPPY OUTCOME.
The absence of any statement of spe-
cific injury to the American vessels in
the Madrid advices was construed as
convincing indication that they had not
suffered appreciate injury, and this
was especially pleasing TO the naval
students of the news.
Not only was the preservation OF the
American ships and men considered
in itself a happy outcome, but was
commented upon as indicating clearly
that Admiral Dewey and his associate
officers and men under their command
had discharged splendidly their several
duties in directing and executing the
fight. In this connection, it was
pointed out as little less than marvel
Gus that the American squadron es-
capped without severe injury, because.
Notwithstanding the disparity in the
naval forces, the Spanish fleet, as
sisted by the shore batteries, should
have been able to inf1ict severe dam
age to its foe before itself being de-
stroyed. It's failure to do so was ex-
plicable only upon the hypothesis OF
