whereupon they shifted position to one
near Cavite. Manila bay, engaging In q
fierce fight against both the forts ana
Spanish feet. The engagement here
lasted two hours, and resulted in the
humiliation OF the Spanish feet. This
dispatch adds the American ships with
drew to heir magazine vessel In Gen.
ter Roadstead for the purpose OF coal-
ing. One American vessel. name not
mentioned, is said to have been dis
abled. Commodore Dewey requested
the British consul to convey a message
to the Spanish governor demanding the
surrender OF all torpedoes and guns
at Manila and possession of cable Of
fees. saying unless the terms were
complied with he would proceed to
lombard the city.
The first cable message ends with a
statement that the Spanish officials
were comforting with the British con-
sui and the telegraph company's agent.
n pending a decision being arrived
at the cables are not permitted to ham
die messages.
The second cable dispatch announced
the Spanish governor general refused
to surrender the to~rpedoes. guns and
cable offices: that he had prevented the
agent OF the telegraph company from
comforting with Dewey. The message
ends with the statement the British
governor of the Straits settlement ex-

Begin Until Fall.

Washington. ID. g., April 2s.-Adju-
tsnt General Corbin tells the Stand
ard that the Montana troops will enter
the service as an independent regiment
and that unless there are important
changes In the present programme none
OF the mountain state troops will be brig
AIDED together. 1t is against the policy
and companies for merely sentimental
reasons and the propositions to make a
mountain state brigade is so regarded.
The idea was very popular with the
Rocky mountain senator's. but II has had
TO be abandoned. Therefore the Montana
regiment will serve alone according to
present arrangements, and. IL there is a
prediction as TO the brigade with which
they will serve.
General Corbin was asked by me TO
what point the Montana troops would be
sent. THAT is wholly a question for the
future he replied. 1--WE have taken no
steps thus far looking to the location Of
the troops. We will get our volunteer
army before we locate 1t. and all cues
tions at present regarding the destination
- ~
hypothetical"
There is a prospect that some OF the
Western militiamen will be utilized at
home for the protection OF the people
against possible Indian hostilities. The
Montana boys are. however, likely to see
active service. They are regarded as sure
to be vaIuable in the field. and may go to
the front while some of the regulars may
do home guard duty in their stead In Mon
tana.
There is no present likelihood, however,
that the mountain troops will rush to the
front. Actual and aggressive hostilities
are not scheduled to begin until fall. The
programme row seems TO be to gather the
volunteers in camps In the various states
and keep them there four or i've months
to inure them to camp life and accustom
them to the rigorous discipline OF army
life.
The presidents physician, DIR. Leonard
Wood. will soon be at Helena to recruit
men for the regiment OF mounted riiemen
which he has been authorized to raise.
Wood will be colonel and True Blue
Teddy Roosevelt will be lieutenant colo
mel of this regiment. Montana boys VINO
fail to be mustered In the Wood-Roosevelt
regiment will have a chance to fall in
with the Wyoming rough riders, who are
being recruited by Judge Jay l.. Torrey
of Ember, famous for his connection with
projected bankruptcy legislation. Judge
Torrey Is now In Western Wyoming on
this mission. Major Griggsby will also
visit Montana for recruits for the third
mounted regiment of rifiemen.
Hon. Martin Maginnis and w. G.. Con-
rad are taking in the capital city in time

The senate agreed on motion of Mr.. Al
len to adjourn from to-day until Wednes-
day next, and at 1 O'Clock went into ex-
ecutive session.
At ESQ O'Clock the doors of the senate

The emergency war appropriation bill
was received by the senate and Mr.. Hale
asked that Il be laid before the senate

New Hampshire inquired whether the bill
had been properly considered by the com
7mittee. Mr.. Hawley. thinking that Mr..
Chandler referred TO his bill. replied holly.

THAT is two or three times the gentle

that my bill was duly considered. I want

Connecticut to say" inquired Mr.. Chand-
Ter. that this army deficiency bill has
been before the committee"
This bill I've got here Is not an appro-
p~riation BILL replied Mr.. Hawley.
'If the senator from Connecticut had
kept his temper" continued Mr.. Chand-
Ter, tartiy, "he would have learned that
the bill / addressed my remarks to was
not his bin. II he would listen before he
undertakes TO lecture me IL would do him
good"
IL do not desire to enter into any dis
cussion with the senator" replied Mr..
Hawley.
81 think the senator would better not"
said Mr.. Chandler. 81 addressed myself
to the bill that came from the house OF
representatives and the senator lectured
me on an entirely different BILL
The war deficiency bill was read at
length and passed without a word of de-
bate. The senate then AT 4 o'clock under
the order previously made adjourned un-

REPORT DISCREDITeD.
II L. Not Believed That Dewey Used Pc
trOle0m Bombs.

oasa
Washington. May NAVAL officers
are inclined to discredit the statement
in dispatches from Madrid tonight
that Admiral Dewey employed petro-
leum bombs in a reduction of the citO
of Manila. In fact, no definite infor-
nation could be obtained that the
American squadron was supplied with
such instruments of destruction. 1t is
regarded as quite likely that in the
event of a b~ombardment of the city
the bursting of shells would start Sc
rious fires. and perhaps result in a
confagration; but that Admiral Dewey
used bombs with the express idea Of
firing the city Is believed utterly i'm
probable. unless he was pressed to ex-
treme measures, which is not thought
to be likely.
The belief is prevalent in official cir
cles that IL n fire occurred, the Span
ish, confronted by the inevitable fall
of the city, themselves applied the
torch. thereby carrying into effect the
threat which they ave made concern
ing both Manila and Havana, that the
cities should never fall into the hands
of the Americans except as heaps of
smoldering ruins.

strict Neutrality,

New York, May "A dispatch to the
World from Berlin says: The German
government has not notified the gov
mel at Washington that 1t would
not tolerate the bombardment of Ma
Mia" as Madrid has reported. 1t has
sent no protest or anything of the kind.
The foreign office has merely pointed
out in the friendliest I'M that larg-
err foreign n especially German in
~terests are at stake thar Spanish. n
that these interests would suffer ~
bombardment. The dispatch of the
German man-of-war Irene to the Phil
ippines was ordered at the request OF
the German traders there, who express
ed apprehension that in case of a revo-
luton the Spanish authorities might not
be able to protect them. Vice Admiral
Diedrichs. commanding the eastern
Asiatic squadron. has received full
authority TO dispatch. IL ne deems 1t
necessary, another warship to the Phil
ippines. But al his has nothing to do
with Germany's neutrality.
