SPAIN DOESN'T WANT PEACE,
Declare That War Can Be Continued
for Two Years.

Madrid, June 1.-THE campaign inall>
gurated by some Of the foreign newspa-
pers in favor of peace between Spain
and the United States, is not approved
here. According to the opinions of several
generals, Spain is capable of continuing
war in Cuba, for two years even under the
most unfavorable circumstances. therefore,
they add, it is useless to talk of peace
unless it implies a return to the status
quo ante -bellum.
The government. it is added, has not
received any suggestions Of peace from the
powers, and in political circles, it is de
cla1ed, if such suggection were received
the government would politely decline to
entertain it on the ground that Spain
has decided to pursue the war to the bit

BRUTAL CRIME IN BUTTE.
Little Ethel Gill Murdered by Some
Eiend.

Butte Mont, June ll.-Ethel Gill
aged 9 yesas, disappeared from her home
on South Ohio street on Thursday even
ing. This morning her dead body was
found in an clubhouse several blocks
from the residence of her parents. The
condition of the body showed plainly she
had been outraged and the marks about
her neck indicated that she had been
strangled to death.
The police think they have the man
who committed the crime. He was ar
rested about an hour after the girls alb
sence was noted. The police wanted him
on suspicion of burglary. They found
him in the lumber yard not so feet from
the clubhouse. There were blood stains
on his clothes and when questioned about
them he could give no satisfactory an
swcr. When today's discovery was made
the police thought of this circumstance.
Since then witnesses have been found
who will swear they saw the man and
the child together on the evening of her
disappearance and shortly before his ar
rest. The man gave the name of Chas
Smith. but is also known to the police
as Higgins.
May Not Be the Man.
Butte. Mont. June l2.-Thousands of
people today visited the scene of the muir
der of little Ethel Gill and hundreds went
to the county jail to see the man who is
suspected of it. They We're in hopes OF
being able to identity Charles Smith as
the man who had been seen in various
parts of the city making indecent ad
vances toward young girls and children
None of them were able to do so, how
ever and some of the authorities are be
ginning to waver a little in their faith
that they have the right man. They are
bending every effort to find the guilty
the man.
One feature of the case is that when
the little girl did not come home to sup
per and the anxious mother went to look
for her, she was attracted by the crowd
that had gathered around the officer who
arrested Smith on a charge of burglary.
This was not over % feet from the out
house in which the body of the child was
found later, and where it was, no doubt
at the time.
Not realizing that she had any interest
in the arrest, the mother passed on and
continued her search.
The Gills have been following the race
horses over the western circuit, both
father and mother acting as cooks.

ILLNESS OF COL. BRYAN.
Confined by an Attack Of Maiarial

Col. William J. Bryan did not leave

The mission to Washington of Col. Bryan

itary service and return to their homes.
has SO far been only partially successful.
There have been seventy-fve of these ap-
plications received at the War Department.
They all came through the regular chan
nels. While all Of them were approved by
the regimental officers, including the col
onel commanding, the majority of them
were disapproved by either the brigade,
division or corps commander. So far but
fifteen Of the applications have been favor
ably acted upon and the discharge of the
men ordered. In these cases the applicants
are married men with families dependent
Upon them, and their applications We're
regularly approved by all the reviewing au-
thorities. including Gen. Fitzhugh Lee,
commanding the 7th Army Corps, to which
the Sd Nebraska Infantry is attached.
There are still sixty cases unacted upon
by the department. In these, the applica-
tioEs for discharge are based on sickness
or other causes, scme of the men giving
private business as a reason for their de-
sire to return to civil life. Nearly all Of
these cases lack the approval of the re-
viewing authorities. The cases Of sickness
are not regarded as serious, otherwise there
would be no hesitation in granting the dis
charges. The regulations provide for the
discharge Of all soldiers physically unfit
FOR military duty, and such are not kept in
the service. The ailments from which the
