Spanish Newspapers Doing Their Best to
Bring War.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.
Madrid, Feb. 17.-Fierce indignation
characterizes the Spanish papers that
are not supporters of the government at
It's alleged weakness in replying in gen.
tie terms to the American demand for
explanation of the Dupuy de LONE let
ter.
The impartial says: 1T is the height
of weakness to suppose we are going to
disarm the Yankees by means of pa
tience. From them we shall gain moth
ing by it, and on the other hand we
shall lose the dignity and esteem OBJ
tanned from the other nations. Para
phrasing the never-to- to-be-forgotten Spar
tan words of Mendez Nunez at Callan:
Suffer it to say Spain loves honor more
without Cuba than Cuba without honor
We sacrificed our youth; we have sacri-
feed our millions. Must we also sacri-
flee our national honor? Not the great
Antilla, not hundred Antilles would
be worth so great sacrifice"
The impartial article then proceeds TO
argue that all Spain's concessions would
be useless If the United States really
seeks to break off friendly relations,
adding: IF a pretext Is sought it would
be found. For instance, a hostile demon
stration against the Spanish warships
visiting American ports, or a demand
for pension for the widow of the den
tist, Ruiz"
In Europe. the article continues,
every one has already perceived this
The universal conscience is with us
and 1t is really shameful fact that
the action of the United States rouses
more indignation in foreign minds than
in Spanish. We believe we interpret
better the spirit of the Spanish people
and We energetically protest against
what has been done in order that, out
side of Spain. it may be known that
her rulers do not reflect the feelings of
the Spanish people in such acts as the
explanation to Mckinley, and also that
this nation of brave men has not be-
come flock of lambs.'t
The Correo Espanol, after recapitu-
lating all injuries il alleges Spain has
suffered at the hands of the United
States, says: THE last affair-that of
Dupuy-has given the measure of our
sufferings. Another government than
that we endure-ancient mummies and
she -men-when drawing up the note
in yesterdays council in reply 10 the
uncalled-for and ruffianly
demands of the president of the repub-
lie of the United States, would have

testa va declara), saying: THE North
Americans have not their soldiers and
their ships in Cuba, but among the in
surgents they have what is better; they

milton, guns, cannon and dynamite
Why" asks the Pals, should an
official declaration be made when war
already exists, and exists under the
most favorable terms for the United
States. An official declaration might
alarm the European powers who would
not tolerate Mckinley placing his hands
upon the Antilles Instead of exposing
their soldiers on their own soil, they
send them in the guise of insurgents to
Cuba. To avoid a catastrophe to their
warships, they send men and ammuni-
tion to the insurgents in merchant ves-
sells. Americap politicians would indeed
be most foolish If they abandoned by
declaration of war, the favorable posi-
tion that they have taken UP in Cuba
against Spain.

TO TEST THE LAW.
The Supreme Court Will Pass on the
building nnd Loan Association Act.
Friendly suit Instituted.

Special Correspondence of the Standa rd
Helena. March 3.-As predicted in these
dispatches the supreme court of the state
will be asked to pass upon the building
and loan association laws Of Montana a
friendly suit instituted for the purpose
of having the court test the law being
commenced to-day by the attorney for a
local building and loan association. max
ing application to the court for writ of
prohibition. The title Of the action is the
Home Building and Loan Association OF
Helena VS.. G. b. Nolan, attorney gen.
eral
The application for the writ was based
upon an affidavit signed BY Nick kessler
president of the company. The writ is
asked for on the ground that affiant be-
lieyes that the attorney general. acting
upon the recent letter of State Examiner
Morony. wherein that officer suggested
that steps be taken to compel all COM
panies not complying with the law OF
1897 to go out of business, is about to
institute proceedings TO thai end. Affiant
fears that steps will be taken to have q
receiver appointed and to procure the ar
rest of. and to prosecute him for doing
and continuing to do business without
having elected TO come under the law of
1897. which law affiant believes does not
except as to taxation. apply to his COM
pany
Affiant sets up that his company has at
cept as to taxation. as provided In section
25 of the act OF 1897. He further sets up
that his company is in sound financial
condition and enjoys a high reputation
for solyency. all of which will be ruined
IL the proposed proceedings are not ar
rested.
He also alleges that on account of the
strained condition of the public mind IN
relation To the solvensy of the deposito-
ries of funds Ihe bare mention of the fact
that some question has arisen relating to
the laws governing building and loan as
sociations has caused many of the pIaint-
tM stockholders to become frightened as

IL the threatened proceedings are insti-
tuted 1t will cause this plaintiff ire
parable injury by reason of the with
drawal of said stockholders.
1t Is claimed that the law does not apply
TO the plaintiff except as 10 taxation and
the right of the attorney general to insti-
tute the proceedings is held to be in ex-
cess of his jurisdiction. The supreme
court issued a writ returnabie March H.
when a date will be set for the argument
of the matter. This is in every sense a
friendly proceeding for the purpose or
testing the law or the conflict Of laws.

The English Flag Floats From the sum
mit-Deaths mt skaguny.

Seattle. March BE. r. Knapp of
Boston, Mass, who arrived here to-day
from Skaguay. Alaska. authorizes the
statement that the Canadian author
tiles raised the British flag on the sum
nit of the White Pass on Saturday,
Feb %. This has heretofore been con-
sidered American territory. Mr.
knapp's authority for the statement
Is the foreman of the Humbert Trans
portation company's pack train. He
reported the affair to Mr. Knapp, who
is connected with the company, just
before the latter left Skaguay.
Mr., Knapp said that the reports of
deaths at Dyea. Skaguay and on the
trails had been very much exaggerated.
He had made personal examination
and ascertained that since Nov there
had been 19 deaths at Skaguay and is
at Dyea, This Is not at all large, con-
sidering the population of the two
places. The report that two men
from Dawson had perished on the
White Pass with large amount of gold
dust on them, is said by Mr.. Knapp 10

The rivalry between the towns of

Mr.. knapp as being AT white heat,

FRlGHTFUL SUFFERING.
Famine and Starvation Among the Cuban
Paciticns.


New York, March 3.-W W. Howard
of this city returned from Cuba to-day
on the steamship Vigilancia.
Il was IN Armenia with Clara Barton" "
said Mr.. Howard, but nowhere in Ar
menia did | see such suffering and
famine as / have witnessed in Cuba
among the pacificos and reconcentrados.
Men, women and children are so ema-
ciated from privation that their ribs
and bones almost come through their
shriveled skins. If ever people needed
relief, il is those wretched reconcen-

the country have been razed or burned
Grass and weeds grow where once the

Mr. Howard said that he was on the
wharf at Havana when the Maine blew
up. He heard two explosions. a dull one
followed by louder one that nearly
stunned him.
j. j. Murphy. another passenger on
the Nigilancia, said: Il am positive that
there were two explosions. The first one
was somewhat muffied. but the second
was stunning in its loudness"

RAISED ENGLA LANO'S FLAG
Summit Lake Supposed to Be
American Soil.
TROUBLE Is LOOKED FOR
Americans Will Resist the Payment of
Duties British Expected to Claim
Sovereignty Over the Passes.
Trails All Right.

Seattle, March 3.-Five steamers ar
rived from Alaska to-day. The Utopia,
Hueneme. Del Norte. Protection and
Queen. The Queen brought the latest
news. She left Skaguay last Sunday.
The most important news brought
down was a confirmation of previous
reports that the Canadian officials had
raised the British flag on what Is re-
garded as American SOIL and trouble at
Skaguay with longshoremen, who OBJ
jected to Indians unloading freight
from steamers. The presence of United
States troops alone prevented serious
trouble. A compromise was made with
the white men to perform the work at
so cents per hour
1t is feared that serious trouble will
grow out of the Canadians attempt to
collect duty on the summit of the White
and Chilcoot Passes. and the Ameri-
cans Will resist the payment of duties
on what they consider American
ground Another complication Will re-
suit with the various tramways which
are being constructed to carry freight
over the passes. The officials of these
tramways are reported to have de-
clared that any interruption with their
construction work or any attempt to
exercise any right of ownership will
be resisted. 1t is thought at Dyea and
-haSudS lHdL the NEXT IHoNtEIieul DI
the Canadian authorities will be TO
claim sovereignty over those two
places. Last summer the boundary line
was at Lake Bennett. then at Lake
Linderman and now at the summit of
the mountains. which is only about 20
miles from salt water.
Two days before the Queen left
Skaguay the wind. which had blown
from the North continuously for seven
weeks. shifted and began TO blow from
the Southwest. causing a general thaw
to set in. The change in the weather
caused hundreds of people who had
been detained by the severe cold to
start over the trails from both Skaguay
and Dyea, and when the steamer left
a general exodus from both towns was
taking place. Both trails are reported
in excellent condition.
On the trip down the Queen passed
the Cottage City short distance south
of Wrangel Narrows. The latter ship
had evidently had trouble, as her bow
was smashed in and covered with cam
vas to keep out the water.
News is brought by the Queen that
the ship Corona, which went ashore on
a reef off Lewis island on the morning
of the Esd of January. will be raised to-
day. Two pumps were TO be put TO
work this morning. when 1t was ex-
pected the Corona will be fioated.
The ship Lucille, bearing the govern
ment relief party. is slowly vending
her way NorthMard in tow of the tug
Monarch. She was spoken by the
Queen near Kennedy island and report
ed all well on board.

PROTECTED BY TROOPS.
Hungry Longshoremen Mnde Demon
stration Against the Indians.

Seattle. March 3.-captain Wallace
gives the following particulars OF his
first experience with the longshoremen
or Skaguay: When the Queen finished
unloading at Juneau. the 35 Indians
that had been doing the work were
taken To Skaguay. They do the work
for 25 cents an hour. and the company
refuses to pay the so and rs cents de-
manded by the white men. At Skag-
uay the Indians went ashore and were

The stevedores made rush that was
skilful enough to do credit 70 a foot

were crowded closer and closer 10 the
edge of the water. At this juncture
three shots were fired at the Indians
by one of the attacking party The
shots did no damage, but greatly ex-
cited the crowd of passengers and spec
tators who were gathered around IN

resolution provides for the sale of both
