LoSpoy. May ?5.-pcrsistrnt rutnors
were in circulation mere early to-day To
the effect that II great naval battle has
been fought in the vicinity of tho
Windward passage, between the cast
Crn end of Cuba and this westward part
of llayti. in which both the American
%squadrons closed in on the Spanish
Cape Verde squadron, commanded Ivy
ADMIRAL Ccrvera, and completely de-
strOycd the spanish ships.
y dispatch from Kingston. Jamaica,
10 Reuters Telegram company, said
news had been received there OF u rc-
ported battle in the Nindward passage.
adding that no American or Spanish
war ships have visited Jamaican ports
since the beginning of the war.
MADRID. May -. noon. 1t is officially
announced that the squadron of Ad-
miral tcrvcra was still ut Santiago do

standing persistent rumor, in circuln-
tion Ia the effect that a great naval en-
pagcmcut had been Tough. in The Wind

Struction of the Spanish fleet, it can
be stated positively that the Navy
department has had no information

poet ofa naval engagement of any mag

partmcnt Officials.
The unanimity with which ,hc best
informed express this view almost
warrants the conclusion that it is
based upon knowledge that tho
hostile fleets are again FAR apart. In
deed there j. no certainty that Adj
miral Ccrvcra is not already homrward
bound. providing he has succeeded in
securing a supply of coal, FOR lie could
not make the run back to the CanarieI

MONTUO REPORTED SHOT.
i,umorcd In Madrid That tho admiral
Was -Martialcd for Negligence.

ST. LorIs, Mo-, May Ga Madrid
dispatch To the st. Louis Globe Demo-
crat says: The ruinor is again current
here tonight that Admiral Montijo
has been court-martialcd and shot NJ
Manila, by order of Captain General
Agusti. II is impossible TO obtain any
confirmation of the news, but it gcncr-
ally believed to he true.
If this is really the ease his fate will
not be regretted, for the enthusiasm
which at first prevailed here with re-
apcct to the gallantry Of his defense
against overwhelming odds has given
way to "A feeling Of profound cxaspcra-
ton, caused by his incredible lack
Of preparation Ia resist Admiral
Dewey. Officers here declare that he
was guilty Of the most criminal ncgli-
gcncc in having no lookout kept for
American squadron, which was known
10 be ON its way to Manila, and not
oven having steam up on board his
ships,
Such negligence is considered to de-
mand a court martial, and it is quito
possible that the cOurt-martial may
have been held and the admiral pun
iShed by death.

A Drug Clerk Took Offense mt Having
His BELL Kung.
Missoula, Jan. 29.--There was a hot
fight this morning ON the corner of
Higgins avenue and Front street that
entertained the early risers for a few
minutes. Yesterday a night bell was
put in at the Missoula drug store and
all night last night. Bismarck" the
night fireman at the Hammond block
and First National bank building,
amused himself by ringing il. just TO
see the night clerk at the store come to
the door and go back to bed That was
all right while it lasted, but this morn
ing the clerk was at the door with his
clothes on and with blood in his eye.
He waited till Bismarck" showed up
and then the fun began. 1t was all arm
work. There was no clinching. Each
stood up to the other and gave and
took. The clerk had feather buster in
his hand and used the handle Of 1t TO
good advantage. He came near punch
ing a hole in the top Of Bismarcl<,s head
with il. and while the Dutcnman was
collecting his scattered senses. the clerk
kicked him out into the street with
some good advice as to the folly of
playing practical jokes on a druggist

citizens of Wallace and the ether towns
of the district. but many of these citi-
zens believe that the members of the
union should join in the attempt thai

union would join hands in this matter
there is not much doubt that the mys-

the stain that rests upon ii as re-
suit of the murder of this young man
whose only offense seems To have been
that he was not liked by some of the
