SAMPSON DOES IT, TOO
Anaconda Extends the Glad
Hand to the Gallant Captain.
HE CAN TROT WITH DEWEY
This City Once More Opens It's Flood
Gate of Enthusiasm on the Sabbath
Day-Now the Fourth VIII
Surely Be Celebrated.

Dewey did 1t on Sunday, and so did
Sampson. Once again Anaconda glad
ly belches forth a fire of patriotism on
the holy Sabbath evening. The well
come news from Santiago harbor was
received with shrieks of delight by the
entire p~opulace.
Sorry, indeed, was the rumor spread
about town in the afternoon to the ef-
feet that Shafter of the inland forces
had been killed. his army repulsed and
all such rot. This report. however, did
not live long after the Standard, in the
early evening, posted authentic bulle-
tins contradicting the silly story. For
a time ii looked very much as though
there would be a tame celebration here
to-day, for sur enough people do not
want to cheer a decisive Spanish VIC
tory.
But, oh, what a change a short time
sometimes brings,
Before 10 o'clock the Standard posted
an unconfirmed bulletin tina Sampson
had entered the harbor and sunk Ger
vera's fleet except one boat. which was
captured. Soon afterwards confirma-
ton was received, and then it was all
night with the noise. All this occurred

turn from Butte. The celebration had
a double interest, but in the intensity
of the roar for Sampson football wasn't
given a thought-Sampson took the
Whole cake. The Standard turned loose
it's committee OF fireworks. Further
down Main street were more fireworks.
From the west, east, south and north
parts of h city arose evidences of
cheer, and the town was ablaze with
hilarfty. Missoula, Great Falls and
h cities in the state besides Butte
received the news of the great victory
from the Standard office.
Chief Mentrum pressed the button,
and the doleful tunes from the fire hall
tower aroused the populace to a state
of ecstasy bordering On insanity, so
intense was the enthusiasm displayed.
Blu everything goes on the eve of the
Fourth, especially when favorable news
comes from the seat of war. There was
no parade or music-everybody jumped
put and made all kinds of noise, though.
and revived the patriotic spirit, which
had gradually relapsed into a stupor
since Dewey's great victory two months
ago.
Now Anaconda will celebrate. New
laurels have been won, and a vim will
be added to to-day's demonstration all
over America.

An Obdurate Texas Colonel.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
The Texas volunteers have made a great
hit with the regulars. Old campaigners

they have ever seen, being ready for bus
mess all the way through. making no
complaint. helping themselves and giving
proof that they do not regard the cam
paign as a holiday affair. They show i'm
mense anxiety to learn soldering, and
are assiduous in drill. Consequently the
regulars, instead of guying these first
newcomers. fell in love with them, and
are doing everything possible TO make the
road easier for them.
