part of the territory has been in Spanish
possession. The islands were discovered by
Magellan in 1921. The capital was fixed at
Manila, on the Island Of Luzon. Other ports
are Cebu, Zamboanga, Ilvilo Sual, Legazpi
and Tacloban.
The trade Of these islands rapidly developed
in the six years from 1875 to 1888, inclusive.
The American trade alone increased from 101

hot heads are not in the Presidents

The crime for which Mckinley and
two other men were convicted was the
robbery of an old man named Tracy on
lower Main street. The robbery was
witnessed by an officer who chased the
three men and one of the robbers took
a shot at him. The evidence against
the three men was conclusive and Judge
Speer gave each II years in the peniten-

The Fire Department Called Out While

mt II Dance.
. The members of the fire department
were rudely interrupted in the enjoy
ment of a dance last night by being
called out to a fire which did about $50
worth of damage to the building occu-
pied as grocery store by L. De Mars
at 213 South Montana street The
front portion of the building is devoted
to the store. and in the rear are sleep
ing apartments occupied by a brother
of the proprietor. who is running the
business during Mr.. De Mars absence
Between the store and the sleeping
apartment tank of oil containing
about dozen gallons of OIL was stu
ated. and II was near the tank that the
fire started. The fire damaged the
building to the extent mentioned by
burning through the ceiling Little
other damage was done. The brother.
who appeared on the scene soon after
the department arrived. stated that a
young man who worked about the store
was supposed to have been in the sleep
ing rooms. but no such person was
found. The manner in which the fire
started is something of a mystery The
brother of the proprietor stated that he
did not know whether any insurance
was carried or not
The firemen gave a ball at the Quartz
street station last evening and all
hands were engaged in dancing Vir-
ginia reel when the alarm came in
There was wild scramble into rubber
boots and helmets and a wild rush for
the poles. The equipment stood ready
for an emergency and no time was lost
in getting to the fire When the fire
was out the dancing was resumed and
the laddies and their ladies made merry
until late hour.
