 VERY POPULAR No Truth in the Report That Att tempt Had Been Made to
 AssaSsinate Him.

Havana, June 22.-lO:4O a. m.-There is ab- lished in the United States of an attempt to assasslnate Captain General Blanco, by a member of the volunteers, whose brother it was alleged, had been shot for complicity in plot against the government.
 General Blanco enjoys the esteem of all classes in Havana, including the volunteers and is regarded with the utmost confidence as the representative of Spanish sovereign ty The Cubans admit that they are under obligations to General Blanco for the es- tablishment of autonomy in the island
 The palace guards are from the volunteers and several officers of that body are aides
 on his staff. General Bancos public ap- pearances are frequently the occasions of
 patriotic demonstrations annd that he has
 no fear of assassination is shown by the
 fact that he often rides out without escort,

 without the attendance of the usual body
 guard.
 Complete tranquility reigns in Havana. The greatest confidence is felt that the
 Spansh forces will successfully cope with the Americans, who were reported yestcr- day to have arrived in transports off San tiago. There is great enthusiasm among the troops and volunteers who are all anX- ious to fight against the invaders
 Captain- General Blanco denies that he has decided that there shall be no exchange of prisoners with the United States. At the same time the captaln-general says he cannot allow the exchange of Lieutenant Hobson and other members of the party who sailed the MerriTnac into the mouth of the harbor at Santiago, for the reason that the lieutenant and his companions had opportunity for seeing the harbor and it's defenses.

ARE RECRUITING
 THE REGIMENTS Squads of Men Continue to Pour Into Chickamauga From
 Various States.

Chickamauga National Park, June 22.- Recruits continue to pour Into the park in squads of from thirty to one hundred and fifty. About seven hundred from various states arrived today and went di- rectly to the regiments for which they were intended. Up to this time as nearly as can be estimated about 4,500 recruits have arr rived for the two corps. The third corps has not reported to headquarters and for this reason the exact number cannot be given.
 While there is no lack of medical sup plies at the camp for all ordinary demands, the surgical outfits have been slow to ar rive, owing to the fact stated by Colonel Hartsuff that the shipments thus far have been rushed to the regiments about to de- part for the front. However, a few sets have arrived at the park within the last few days and ample consgnments are now expected to meet all demands.
 The ordnance department reported nc supplies arriving today, and none were handed out for distribution except three carloads of equppage for the First Illinois cavalry
 No advices have been received at he ead- quarters of any further regiments having been ordered to Chickamauga.
 The recruits are being promptly sup piled with uniforms and other clothing as they arrive and the various regiment commanders are sending their new men into the field for drill practice. These men will be hurriedly trained in squads and will drill with more seasoned men as early as practicable.
 Major Fish, recently appointed chief surgeon of the regiment has arrived and taken charge of the hospital. He finds It. z tie to do. however as the health of the regiment is remarkable. The regiment drew rations today for ten days, in which the following articles were included: 126,- coo pounds fresh meat; 75,c00 pounds bacon; 112.0O0 pounds fresh bread: 1500 pounds of beans; 10000 pounds potatoes: 5000 pounds of tomatoes; 800 pounds roasted coffee and 1 800 bounds supar

Marquis of Lansdowne lndores Col. Chamber|ain's Speech.
SEES NOTHING RIDICULOUS
In the Idea of Closer Friendship Between the United States and Great Britain-Not an Idle Dream of Hazy
 Aspirations,

London, June 22.-The Marquis of Lans- downe, secretary of state for war, ad- dressing the conservative unions of Lon don this evening endorsed the recent Bir- mingham speech of the secretary of state for the colonies, in which MT. Chamber lain expressed the hope that the day would come when the stars and stripes and the union jack would wave together oyer an Anglo-Saxon alliance.
 Lord Lansdowne said he found nothing in MT. Chamberlain's speech to offend the common sense or patriotism of the people of Great Britain. We should be wanting in foresight" he continued, If we failed to realize that the time might come when our revenues would no longer flow so freely when the British taxpayer would grow weary of building more and more battle ships and raising more and more battal- ions, and when, whether we liked or not, we might have to consider whether We could afford to stand alone.'
 Lord Lansdowne insisted that 1t was in the highest degree desi v ,le that the colo nies should be encouraged to take a more active share in the defense of the em- plre.
 Nothing Ridiculous
 There was nothing ridiculous in the idea of a closer friendship with America TO his mind there could be no more inspiring ideal than such an Understanding between two nations sprung from the same race and having so many common interests, nations which together were predominant in the worlds commerce and industry. Was there anything preposterous, he asked, in the hope that these two nations would be found, he would not say in a hard, fast alliance of offense and defense, but clo 'e'y connected in their diplomacy, absolutely frank and unreserved in their internation- al councils and ready whenever the affairs of the world were threatened with dis turbance to throw their influence into the same scale
 'Depend upon it, said Lord Larsdowne, in conclusion, 'there are no more Idle dreams or hay aspirations. The change which has come over each country towart. the other during the last year or two is almost immeasureable. One can scarcely believe that they are the same United States with whom only two years ago We were on the verge of a serious quarrel. The change Is not an ephemeral understanding between diplomats, but a genuine desire for the two people to be friends, and therefore 1t cannot be laughed out of existence by the sorrs of co nments we have late.J heard"

CAMARA'S RETURN
 WOULD CAUSE RIOTS

London, June 22.-The Gibraltar corros- pendent of the Daily News says:
 "No credence need be given to rumors that the Cadiz squadron will return to that port. Admiral Camara could not return without riots at Cadiz and Madrid, particu- lary as he said at the banquet before his departure he would never return before his flag had been steeped in American blood. You will find that tn next move of the squadron will be to the CaEaries."

STOLE THE COAT.
w. Is. Turner VIII Probably Serve His
Time at Deer Lodge.


Great Falls, Jan. 24.--For some weeks
small articles have been missing from
rooms in the Park hotel, and finally a
valuable buffalo oyercoat belonging to
the clerk, Val Iaubenheimer, was TAX
en-. A few days later he learned from a
local furrier that a coat resembling his
very closely had been brought into the
furrierS shop for repeirs and altera-
tons. Laubenheimer went down and
looked at it, and although the furrier
had already taken ii To pieces he recog-
nized his property.
Chief of Police Guerin was notified of
the facts and he went to work. He
found that the coat had been taken by
a discharged employee of the hotel and
sold to a railroad man, who when seen
readily told all of the circumstances
surrounding the sale, and thereby en-
abled the officer to find the thief. Hell
ena was called up on the telephone, and
it was discovered that the thief, a col
ored man, had left the city II hours be-
fore Butte was next notified, and
there the man was discovered.
Guerin went after him Friday night
and brought him back last night This
morning the fellow who gives the name
of w. p. Turner, went before Justice
Burleigh and pleaded guilty TO a charge
of grand larceny and was bound over to
the district court in $500 bonds. He
will have a hearing there as soon as
the county attorney can file the COM
plant, and If nothing now unforeseen
happens he will be serving his time at
the penitentiary shortly.
