Hong Kong. May 15.-The United
States dispatch BOAT Hugh McCulloch
arrived here from Manila for dispatch
es from the United States government.
She reports that the Spanish gunboat
Callao, from the Caroline islands. re-
Gently entered the port of Manila, be-
ing ignorant Of the outbreak of hostili-
ties between Spain and the United
States. An American warship fired
across her bows and signaled her a de-
a for her surrender. The demand
being d~isregarded. the American ship
fired direct at the Spanish gunboat and
the latter surrendered.
The populace of Manila is reduced to
eating horsefesh and the prospect of
relief seems far distant.
The Hugh McCulloch also reports
that the Philippine insurgents applied
to Rear Admiral Dewey for his approx
al of an attack by them upon the city.
The admiral, it appears. approved of
the plan, provided M excuses were
committed. The insurgents then plead
ed that they a no arms with the ex-
ception of machetes. to which the ad-
miral replied: Help yourselves at the
Cavite arsenal" The city of Manila,
however. has not yet been attacked.
About 5000 Spanish troops are guard
ing the road leading from Cavite to
Manila.
There is no truth In the reported
massacre of a number of Americans.
There has been recently a trifling in
cident during police duty. and nobody
was hurt.

substantial. courageous and comprehen-

mendations include the features of reform
sought by the monetary commission In
its report. but in some respects by diff
ferent methods. The bin seeks to main
tain the parity of all moneys or curren-
cies. to favor silver as the larger change
or market money Of the people. To create
an issue and redemption division of the
treasury: To put the burden of the cur
rent redemption of the greenbacks upon
the national banks. to restrict Reissue
OF ~greenbacks redeemed by the govern
ment except in exchange for gold. 10
provide for cancellation of greenbacks by
use of idle gold in the treasury and to au-
thorize a test beginning of use of general
credit currency In the national banks. 1t
is a great step forward"

In the House.


In the House.
Washington. May 1.-THE most not
able event in the house proceedings OF
the present week will he the introduc-
ton of a resolution providing for the
annexation of Hawaii. The committed
on foreign affairs has decided to report
favorably the resolution and will DO so
probably on Tuesday. A very large
majority OF the republicans. and, II Is
claimed. Is democratic members FAVOR
the proposition. and would Xix to take
immediate action. hut consideration VIII
be postponed likely until after this
week.
Ii is urged by those who oppose i'm
mediate consideration that the passage
of the resolution now would complicate
the situation as respects the revenue
bill and would delay greatly the pass
age of the latter. Speaker Reed and
Representative Dingley are opposed TO
as a proposition, n the
latter is especially opposed to passing
the measure before action upon the
revenue bill Is aken. On wednesday
the banking and currency COMMITTEES
will present. pursuant to tho vote CON
cluded Saturday, a general anking
and currency bill, but IL is understoou
that Il will not be considered this week.
Final action On n currency measure
at this session seems mpropapie'
or the appropriation bills in CONFER
ence. some progress seems to have been
made in the sundry civil and postofhoe
bills and one or both may be passed,
though there is a disposition to delay
them in conference until the revenue
hin is we'll under way in the senate.
The house committee Is ready TO report
the general deficiency bill ana may
hring 4, in this week. A bill to estab-
lish a n~on-partisan labor commission,
10 suggest appropriate legislation ar
fecting labor. may be considered TINS
week. The prospect for a generous
treatment of local bills Is good.

The Last Goodbye.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Great Falls. May 15.-About go per-
SOM boarded the excursion train which
left this city at 1880 o'clock this morn
ing for Helena over the Montana Cen
trail railway. Many a passenger on the
train was loaded down with good
things for the boys i'm camp. and the
great danger which Immediately
threatens the Montana military seems
to be an attack of indigestion. The
Black Eagle and went along to en-
liven the trip and the amp with its
music and the prospect was that un-
less the weather proved unfsvorable,
the day would prove a memorable one
to all who participated. The return
train will probably reach this city some
time after midnight. Mixed with the
crowd of merry makers are. of course,
many to whom the trip has it's serious
side. There were many of the crowd on
the cars who were taking the journey
for the purpose of saying a last good
bye to some In Camp Smith, whose GO
ing to the front means much to the one
left at home.

OFFICERS WHO MAY YET CLASH British Customs Collectors Remain at Chilkoot
 Summit.
Uncle Sam, However, Will Place Inspectors Along the
 Chain of Lakes.
There May Be a Dispute That Wash lngton and London Will Be
 Called Upon to Settle.
:: Special Dispatch to The Call.

JUNEAU, Alaska, March 2s (by sleamsnlp Queen to Seattle April D. The convention between the United States and Great Britain in regard to the Alaska boundary line, recently an- nounced, settles the question of any in- .ternatfonal difficulty arising over the 'stat1oning of a Canadian customs post on the Chilkoot summit, as by the con- Vention< that summit is now understood to be Canadian territory.
 Complications may arise, however by the proposed stationing of a United states inspector at Lake Bennett. as the Collector of Customs for Alaska 'J. w: Ivey, declares it is his intention to. do.
 Governor John G. Brady and Col lector Ivey climbed the steep and hoary Chilkoot last week to see that Canadian post its police and the citi- zens of the United States en route to the klondfke marching meekly under the British Union Jack as it floats proudly there. Some conversation ob- tafned between the Governor, the Col lector and Captain Belcher of the post. a slX-foot Canadian with a mountain voice, in which. the captain blandly toiu \lHe LdShhn OIIlclalS that he had been ordered there by his superior off, cer and there he intended to stay. In his turn Collector .Ivey stated that his intention was equally firm to establish United States inspectors at the Lakes. Captain Belcher did not say that he would try to prevent their coming, but he replied that he would see that the United States. officers did not remain there long. And there you are. The situation as it stands amounts to a declaration of war between these off, cials, and it now remains for Assistant Secretary Day and Lord Salisbury to come to the: rescue of their respective countries in the threatened hostilities at the lakes which run down the land of gold.

While Bands Are Playing Editor Brann and Cap-
 tain Davis Fight.
During the Exchange of Shots the Principals Are Nor

Criticism of Newspaper and a Bitter Political Rival Cause the
 Street Tragedy.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


 DALLAS, Tex, April IA special to the News from Waco, Tex, says: In the midst of busy preparations for city election meetings, while bands were playing and scattering handbills from their decorated vans, calling the people together, w. c. Brann, editor of the Iconoclast, and Captain M. T. Davis met and fought a revolver duel to the death. The combatants met just at 6 o'clock this afternoon on Fourth street, in front of the Cotton Belt ticket office, and, after exchanging a few words, both began emptying their revolvers into each others bodies.
 When the battle was over, Brann was found to be perforated in the left lung, the left leg and the right foot. Davis was shot through the right lung and through both of his arms. The sur geons say both men are likely to die.
 The difficulty between the two men grew out of the Brann- Baylor feud of last year. Captain Davis daughters are pupils of Baylor University, and the references made in the Iconoclast to Baylor, which were generally con- strued to mean reflections on the moral character of the pupils and faculty, brought forth from Captain Davis a denunciation of Brann, delivered in language most forcible and direct. In the city campaign now in progress Captain Davis is the chairman of one
