ANOTHER BATTLE FOUGHT
Hot Engagement Before the Stan
dard's Bulletin Board.
IT'S A RELIGIOUS WAR
Oliver Jumped the Catholics and an
Irishman Jumped Oliver Then the
Police Run Oliver In While
Irish Runs Away.

A short. sharp and decisive battle,
arising from the present u-nfriendiiness
between h United States and Spain,
was fought in front Of the Standard
bulletin board yesterday afternoon.
Jake Oliver was holding forth on the
merits of several of the propositions
involved. His remarks were delivered
in a tone of voice calculated to make
every one in the crowd hear. They did
hear, and the feelings of several were
hurt by some of the things he said.
Affairs were about ripe for a scrap
when a bulletin was posted stating
that the priests and nun at Cavite
had attempted to lead the American
forces at Manila into a trap. Oliver
e the bulletin and blurted out,
That's 1t! The Catholics have al
ways been traitors to this country"
A little Irishman in the crowd had
gone the limit of his patience and
promptly soaked" Jackey in the jaw.
Then another fellow took a crack at
him and in a second the mix-up be-
came general, resulting in a policeman
arresting oliver for creating a dis
turbance and the other fellows getting
away.

POWERS MAY INTERFERE.
Leading Diplomats Disposed to Intercede
Before Long.

Before Long.
Washington. May 10.-As a result OF
the Spanish reverse at Manila, leading
members of the diplomatic corps, rep
resenting some Of the most influential
OF the great powers IN Europe. have
unoficially exchanged views on the OPP
~portuneness of a movement dictated by
the most friendly spirit and in the in
terest of peace, toward urging upon
Spain the futility of further prosecut-
ing the war and inducing her To sue
for peace on the basis of the relin-
quishment OF Cuba, the promise of a
war indemnity and the occupation of
Manila by Admiral Dewey until the
war indemnity is paid. This discus
sion has been entirely unofficial and
without advices from their own gov
ernments, but IL Is sad that SPANS
plight Ii such at the present
that a movement on ,ne other side
may begin at any time toward induc-
ing Spain to make terms for closing
the war. In such a move, IL Is pointed,
out, those powers which have been
friendly to Spain, particularly Austria
and France, might well join in urging
her to sue for peace before IL Is too
late. IL is said that the nations most
friendly to Spain might suffer almost
as much as Spain herself by a prolon-
cation OF the war and the ultimate an
Inhalation of Spain. At the same time,
those powers most friendly to the
United States. particularly Great Brit
ain and Russia, would, II is believed.
join in any movement promising to re-
store the peace of the world.
The military attaches connected with
the foreign establishments here say
that Admiral Montejo and his entire
of officers ought to be, and UNI
doubtedly will be. court-martialed for
allowing themselves to be surprised by
Dewey's fleet. The German
naval attache, after securing creden-
tlais from the navy department.. has
rome to Fort Monroe, where he will
make Observations of Commodore
Schley's flying squadron. While the
department has given all naval at
taches every proper courtesy. II has felt
constrained not to grant them perma-
rent facilities on board the American
ships. as. IL is said, in time of war 40
government permits foreign observers
aboard ships.
