He was sent home this afternoon at
the states expense. 1t appears that
when he signed his name he placed IL
in the book containing only the names
and records of the regimental surgeons
and hospital staff. The mistake was
discovered Dol after his name was
erased. In the meantime he could not
be found to sign his name again and
in the proper place, so another mar
was taken In his stead. He put In an

EUROPE WILL OBJECT
Determined That America Shall
Not Fight in Europe.
PROTECTION OF MANILA
England Holds Back-She Desires That
the United States Should Retain
Control OF the Philip
pine Islands.

London, May IAN evening W
paper to-day published the following
from a source that Is alleged to be III
thoritative: AT least three OF the
great powers are determined to prevent
America from bringing the war into
European waters. Manila only escaped
bo~mbardment through the active inter-
vention of the German consul, acting
under the direct orders of the emperor.
when the news arrived from Ma
Mia that Commodore Dewey had been
ordered to take the place, the German
residents sent a pressing request to
Berlin demanding help n protection
from the double danger of lombard
ment and the exposure to the plumber
ing Of the natives. The esponse was
prompt. The German consul vas in
structed to oppose energetically all use
less devastation beyond the proper acts
of war, to oppose the d~ebarkation of
the Americans unless in sufficient force
to maintain order, to protect the lives
and property of Germans and to fix the
amount of damage sustained by Ger
mans. Instructions were at h same
time sent to the commander of the
German squadron at Kiao Chou bay,
and by Tomorrow four German war
ships will be at Manila.
In the meantime the ambassadors,
not including Sir Julian Pauncefote,
have made friendly representations to
Secretary Day, reminding him that, ac-
cording to the presidents message. the
liberation of Cuba was the sole object
of the war. n that hence the bonn
bardment of Manila will be contrary to
the avowed sentiments of the United
States. Coupled with this representa-
ton was the reminder that the rights
of the European residents must be re-
spected. President Mckinley was i'm
pressed with the arguments, and IL was
then that Admiral Sampson was or
dered to partially raise the blockade Of
Havan and seek to destroy the Span
ish fleet.
IF the United States takes possess
sion of Hawaii during the present war
with Spain, 1t is believed Europe will
endeavor to insist that the possession
of Hawai- is an incident Of the war, and
the powers will desire to include Ha-
wall in spportionment OF territory. per-
haps as a partial Offset against the
formed diplomatic circles confidence is
expressed that the United States viii
not be permitted to acquire such
strength in the far East as is involved
i'm the occupation OF the Philippines and
Hawaii without reckoning with the
powers.
Great Britain. on the contrary, as
the associated press has the best
grounds for asserting, desires the Unit
ed States to retain the Philippine
islands, wen in preference to taking
them herself"

Missoula, May 12.-Troop ID il ready
for the fray. Mastering Oficer Ahern.
lieutenant OF the 2sth infantry. arrived
this morning from Helena and at once
proceeded with the work Of examining
the recruits for the cavalry service.
DIR. Buckley of this city and DIR. Rid
dell of Helena were the examining ply
sicians. and the men were subjected to
a very close scrutiny and the medical
examination was severe. Each man
was required to strip and was thor
oughly examined. A man who wit
messed both examinations says thai
the examination of the infantry re-
cruits at Helena was by no means so
severe as was the m here to-day. Out
OF % men examined eight were reject
ed on account OF physical disability
One OF those who were rejected was
j. c. Carter. one of the men who had
seen service in Cuba. His wound has
left his knee I'm such shape that the ex-
aniners could not pass him. There
has been a busy time about the theater
all day with the mastering n exam
lining, and the work Is not yet finished.
IL was stated two days ago that only
60 men would be taken from here, and
yesterday there were several appli-
cants. but they were turned away, as
there was not room enough for them.
This morning, however, the orders
were changed, and the announcement
was made that 80 men would be taken.
This sent a lot of fellows scurrying for
horses. and tonight the work Is not
quite completed.
The examination Of the men Will be
completed in the morning. and Major
Parr. purchasing agent. will arrive
from Helena I'm the morning to the in
spect the horses for the command.
In regard to the horse part OF the
programme there has been much con-
fusion, and the officers of the troop
have been all at sea to know what TO
do. The first intimation was that the
government would purchase the horses
for the troop. Later they were in
formed that each man must purchase
his own horse. but the government
would pay him for t.. Later informa-
ton, however. is that the horses Will
be purchased outright.
Captain Higgins has been In tele-
graphic communication all day with
Senator Carter. and IL II owing to his
efforts that the change has been made
in this matter. The men will be sworn
in in the morning, and tonight Is their
last night as civilians. Part of them
are uuartered at the Rankin house and
the balance at the Helena hotel.

VERY DULL,
Rainy Weather Dampens the Spirit and
Bodies Of the Emmets.

Malaria was rampant again at the
al7nory yesterday. Two members of
the Emmets succumbed and were sent
to their homes in carriages. Many of
the men felt the cold east winds and
remained in the armory until nightfall
then, as soon as they were dismissed,
they hurried to their homes. Capt.
Moyuihan expects to have his rolls COM
pleted and in the hands of the paymas-
ter Saturday morning.
Thanksgiving day the Emmets will
receive their friends, and there is pos
sibility that an entertainment will be
provided. The unsteady inclined mem
bers of the company are practicing
daily for the event.

discharged from st. Vincents hospital

that G. L. Stevens will be the next

MANY WONDER.
School House Question Alb
sorbing Interest in Grafton.

Grafton, Nov 1.-THE town meeting
to be held Saturday afternoon for the
purpose of hearing the report of the
investigation committee which hassbeen
at work on the Grafton school question
for several months, is looked forward
to with great interest and expectation.
The committee refuses to give out its
report, which is being printed before
the meeting is held and it is causing
many to wonder what propositions are
| to be made. 1t is understood that more
| than one plan will be suggested, but,
the school committee and teachers are
known to be generally in favor of
new high school at the centre although
the disposition to be made of the troub-
lesome red brick" school house on
North street and the most unsanitary
| of the schools in the north and south
parts of the town, is not known. is
The best of the buildings may be
repaired and brought within the re-
quirements OF the state inspectors at a
comparatively small cost while the
poorest of them, and especially the
high, would require sum to put them
in good condition which would go far
toward the erection of q new building.
Architects have figured on the various
! ill-ventilated and poorly heated build
ings, and their figures will probably be
a part Of the report to be submitted.
| Whatever part of the recommendations
are accepted by the voters at the meet
ing will be embodied in a call for an
other special meeting at which time
the voters have the question wholly in
| their hands.

membership in the Evening Star Lodge
