OBSTINATE
Morocco's Ruler Refuses to Declare
Neutrality.

New York, July ia cable to the
Herald from Tangiers says:
Mohammed Torres refuses to make
an official declaration Of neutrality.
For him, neutrality means not inter-
fering in any way. The ministers met
today and decided to make fresh repre-
sensations. Mohammed Torres, how
ever. refused to be moved. The Rus
sian consul therefore reckoned prema-
turely on his moral influence over him.
The Spaniards held a fresh meeting
and threatened to cut the cable. Rep
reservations were consequently made
by the British minister and Torres has
sent a guard OF fifty soldiers to pro-
tect it with orders to fire at the first at
tempt to cut it.

SHAFTER n SCOVEL.
1t May Go Hard With the Obstreperous
Correspondent.

New York, July IA cable to the
Herald from Santiago de Cuba, via
Playa, says:
Sylvester Scovel, the newspaper cor
respondent, who was arrested for strik-
ling General Shafter yesterday, was
taken to Siboney today on the tug
Colon, under a small guard. He may
|be tried here, or General Shafter may
decide to send him as a prisoner to
1.-THE United States for trial.
A special to the Herald from Wash
lington, D. c., says:
Among officials at the war depart
ment indignation vas expressed this
morning at the attack upon General
Shafter b. Sylvester Scovel, CORE
spondent of a New York newspaper, as
told in this mornings Herald. One OF
these officials, high in authority, said
THAT it was not a simple attack upon a
citizen, but upon the head Of an Amer
lean army, and as such was an affront
Ito every American citizen. The official
said that an example should be made
of the correspondent in such a way as
to become history.
At the same time, l ascertained that
no orders touching the case had gone
from the department and that the
whole management of it would be left
to General Shafter.
l was told by one accurately inform
ed that the probable disposition OF the
matter would be that General Shafter
would have Scovel put aboard a ship
and sen back to the United States,
with an order prohibiting him from
again accompanying the army. Judge
Advocate General Lieber said that
there was no formulated military law
exactly covering such cases as this,
where the assailant was not a soldier,
but, as the province Of Santiago was
now under martial law, Scovel would
no doubt have to be tried by martial
law on the charge of assault.
Another United States officer, an
officer OF the war department, said that
If Scovel had been a soldier the law
would be plain and the penalty would
be death, but. under the circumstances,
Scovel would have to be tried Just as II
he had attacked a civilian. This official
said he knew Shafter we'll. and. had
he been armed. he would have shot SEQ
vel on the spot.

EXPENSIVE SPANISH CAPTIVES.
Washington, July 19.-Colonel Hey
wood. commander Of the Marine corps,
has returned from Seavey island,
Maine, where the captive S%paniards of
Cervera's fleet are located.
They are the hungriest set of men
I ever saw" said he. "The first night
they consumed a whole days rations.
1t required almost a half a tor Of beef.
four boilers of coffee. a thousand loaves
of bread and lots Of potatoes for that
supper, which was probably the first
square meal they had eaten in months"
Over 200 marines are now on duty
there. keeping the spaniards within
bounds. It costs tine government 49,
500 for rations per day. Colonel Hey
wood thinks 1t would be a wise policy
for the government to send these Span
ish sailors to Spain.

sistance of Silver Republicans and

The people of Montana recognize i'm
Senator Mantle better material than
any which the Democratic party has
to offer and we believe will impress
this fact indelibly upon history when
they east their votes.
The Silver Republicans enticed the
Populists into n fusion, violated their

journed and left the central commit

was left of the Pops after Gov. Smith
and his friends had gone back to
their first love. Hartman is going
down hill very rapidly and i'm his
slide is grasping right and left to
catch something to break his fall.
Political traitors like him get their
just dues, though sometimes it ap-
pears to be needlessly delayed. Two
years ago he persuaded the Demo-
Gratis to carry him on their shoulders,
but they have thrown him this year
and nominated Campbell of Butte, a
brilliant young lawyer, a compro-
mise man agreed upon by the Clark

way worthy of the support of Demo-
Gratis. Ii elected to congress he will
spend his time in gaining some adj
vantages for his constituency rather
than constantly making a fool OF
himself and deliberately opposing
measures which wOuld benefit Mon
tana. Hartman's own brother has
quit him and will support Campbell.
The Helena Independent writes his
political obituary as follows:
Charles ). Hartman has had many
friends i'm the Democratic party who
admired the firm stand taken by him
against the financial policy of the Re-
publican party, but today there is
not one of them who would do him
honor. He has proven the hollow
ness of his professions of friendship
for silver by heading "A hopeless mi
nority and seeking to divide the sill
ver vote, ven after the congressional
nomination was offered him by the
Democrats on a basis of cooperation
eminently fair and equitable, but
which was rejected by the Silver
Republicans. Mr.. Hartman has
shown that he cares more for the
Office than for principle, and Demo-
Gratis will spurn hin as they would
any other traitor to the cause OF BIZ
metallism. The general feeling among
Democrats is that Al Goddard Oh n
knippenberg would be as worthy of
support.
