Montana's Regiment.

q sHEN the information reached
" Montana that this states
quota of volunteers would be
a few hundred c~avalrymen. the feeling
of disappointment was widespread. A
good many members in the state mill
tia had hoped to serve in the war: be-
sides, there were many. outside of mill
tary circles. who were anxious to enlist.
II was to meet this sentiment. which
found earnest expression, h a the war
department at Washington revised Its
schedules, with the result that. under
the later programme, Montana will fur
nish a regiment of infantry.
That the assignment for Montana
will be met promptly. there can be no
doubt-the hope Is that those who en-
tered so heartily into the plan for en-
nstment in the cavalry service will
also have an opportunity to join the
army. As to the regiment of infantry
all the signs are that IL will rapidly be
filled to the enlistment provided by law.
Al least, IL is certain that Butte VIII do
its share. The subject has been thor
oughly discussed in hat city; several
of the militiamen. belonging to COM
panies thai have been kept up In good
form. are anxious to enter the volun-
teer service. 1t looks as IL Butte, by
itself, could easily be in shape within
a few days to muster in a whole regi-
ment. Colonel Kessler returned TO
Butte late last night. after a confer
ence with Governor smith; IL may be
anticipated that the Montana regiment
will be ready for marching orders
within a few days. Much depends on
the more detailed information which,
as announced in this mornings news
il expected to reach Governor smith
from the department at Washington
before Sunday.

The Prize Money.

THERE are rules governing the

first step is for the officer of the ship

including the inventory Of the cargo.
These are presented in the court where
the facts concerning the capture are

CMPLIANCE on the part OF

of events. puts a stop to the
possibility Of any un~pleasantness that
might otherwise have arisen. The
government Of Portugal permitted the
Spanish fleet to tarry at the Cape Verde
islands so long hat the incident at
tracted the attention Of all the powers.
The government at Lisbon, however.
has told the Spaniards that they must
move on. The fact that they are next
door ~neighbors may. perhaps, incline
the Portuguese to entertain a friendly
feeling toward the Spaniards, although.
on the score Of all that Is taught
by history, there ought to be
no love lost: Portugal has known what
1t is to be humiliateds by Spain. Like
Spain. too, Portugal is left to reflect on
the harsh fate that has reduced her
from the maritime glories that formerly
were hers. The Cape Verde islands are
the remnant left to Portugal of posses
sions that once were princely; they
have beer the property Of Portugal fol
more than four centuries.
