HARTMAN CONEFSSES.

In the course Of his remarks be-
fore the Missoula county democratic
committee Monday night last Con-
gresham Hartman was interrupted
by a qucstioncr who asked him why
if he was democrat in faith as he
appeared to be he did not join the
democratic party. The gentleman
said he and other silver republicans,
mentioning Senator Teller especially,
| had talked that matter over and had
come to the conclusion that that was
not the wiscst thing to do. Remain
ing Il silver republican he believed
that he was in il position to do the
democratic party more real good than
he could if he were to openly identify
himself with the democratic party.
This was also the belief Of other sill
yer republicans, mentioning again
Senator Teller. Congressman Hart
man did not say So in SO many words
but the Inference he left in the minds
Of the democrats at the committee
meeting was that the silver republic
cans we're satisfied that they could
do the democratic party more good
by preserving their organization than
by abandoning it, and the good Of
the democratic party was what all
good silver republicans desired. lie
did, however, statc plainly and en-
phatically in unmistakcablc language
that in the event Of the election Of
a silver congress and a silver prcsi-
dent in 1900, the mission Of the silver
republicans would end and from that
time on all would be democrats.
The substance only Of Mr.. Hart.
mans remarkable speech is given and
that it is true synopsis will not be

KILLED WHILE S!EEpINti. -s
Jim Corhctt's Father Shoots His Wife
and HIMSELF

San Francisco, Aug. Patrick
j. Corbett, father or James j. Cor
Dctt, the pugilist; shot and killed his
wife at an early hour this morning.
He then turned the revolver upon
himself aud committed suicide. The
hypothesis accepted by the family
and the intimate ncquaintanccs Of
the household is That Mr.. Corbctt
was laboring under the effects Of
temporary insanity. The terrible
tragedy occurred al the Corbctt home,
52O !iaycs street, over the livery
stable owned by the elder Corbctt.
AS near as the time can be fixed, the
shots rang out at 400 il. M, Mrs.
Corbctt being killed as she lay asleep
in her bed.
SO far rs can be asccrtaIncd there
was not the slightest reason why the
husband should have sought to wrcall
such awful vengeance upon his wife,
rs for nearly half Il century they have
lived happily together and in perfect
content. Indeed during last evening
they had cIlattcd pleasantly together
about their Iircsidc with two Of their
daughters and at an carly hour had
retired without the slightest indica-
tion having been given Of what was
to follow within the next few hours
With Mr.. and Mrs. COrbctt resided
their TWO unmarried daughters, CATH
crime and Esther, and IL married
daughter: Mrs. Charles a. King, With
her husband. Whore Mr.. Corbctt
purchased his pistol no one seems to
know. lie was never known TO keep
Il weapon IN the house before he pur-
chased this one with an object.
Whether during his temporary spells
of insanity he had contemplated the
deed no one can tell.
There is little doubt that Mr.. Cor
bett was temporarily insane when he
committed this horrible deed, and he
inherited his mania from his auccs-
tors. His sister, Margaret Griffin, is
au inmate Of Napa insane asylum,
having been confined there for six
wears Like in the case Of her BROTH
cr, her insanity was periodic. Both

Francisco. He said that he had re-
ccivcd letters on saturday Informing
him that his fathers mind had Ec

thought that while suffering mentally
his father had committed the double
crime. Corbctt said that he had tel
cgraphcd to San Francisco and that
he would leave for the coast this
evening if the bodies are held until
he can arrive. lie says he will send
his brother Joe home anyway.
At present he could not say what
would be done about his fight with

THE FALL o. MANILA.
Dewey Bombardcd and Merritt Captured
The FOrtifjcatiDnS.

Inc iOftll1citlDnS.
Hong Kong, Aug. l,7.-rhe Amer
ican collier Zatiro, from Manila, which
arrived here yesterday, is anchored
in Junk bay. She left Manila on the
l4th. 4 typhoon is raging and it is
impossible to land the mails with de-
tails Of the battle at Manila.
1t is learned, however, from an
American naval officer that when
Admiral Dewey, on August 6, de-
rnanded the surrender Of Manila with
in i S hours, the Spanish commander
replied that the insurgents being
outside the walls, he had no safe
place for the women and >children,
who were within the city, and asked
for - hours delay. This Admiral
Dewey granted. At the expiration
Of the specified time Admiral Dewey
aud General Merritt consulted and
decided to postpone the attack.
On August Is the American squad
ron formed in line off Manila. The
Olympia fired the first shot at the
Malate fort The shots of the Amer
leans fell short and some time was
occupied in finding the range. Then

turcd by Admiral Dewey from the
Spaniards, got under the forts anc
poured in a hot fire. Great dcstruc-
tion was done with the rapid fire
gums. The forts failed to reply, but
fired on the American troops that
were storming the Spanish trenches.
The large American ships were Or
dcrcd to cease firing after an hours
work, owing to the failure Of the fort
to respond.
The fighting in the trenches was
most fierce. Fifteen minutes after
the Spaniards were driven to the sec
ond line Of defense they were forced
to retreat to the walled city, at which,
seeing the usclcSsncss Of resistance
they surrendered and soon afterwards
a white flag was hoistcd over Manila.
The Belgian consul at Manila,
Mandrc, boarded the Olympia and
returned to the Spanish military
governor, who agreed to surrender.
General McrritU proceeded to the
palace at $3.50 and then the Spaniards
formed in line and formally surrcud-
cred, but the officers were permitted
to retain their swords.
The American loss is reported to
be six or eight killed and 70 wounded.
The Spanish loss was considerable,
but the exact numbers are not OBJ
tainablc. The trenches were filled
, with badly wounded Spluiards. Ma
Mia is now under martial law with
General Merritt as military governor.
The California Red Cross society
rendered valuable aid to the sick and
wounded. Perfect order prevailed in
Manila on the evening Of August -.
AS the Americans mlrchcd in guards
were placed around the houses of all
foreigners in order to prevent them
from being looted.
The insurgents were not allowed
to take part in the attack upon the
city. but were izept'in TIE FEAR of he
Americans. In order to prevent
bloodshed they were forbidden to
/, enter the city after the surrender;
unless they were unarmcd.
