He said:

II It could be maintained honorably. and for war

war that has beer wagcd the island Of Cuba
has been I'm disregard OF the universally recognized
principles Of modern warfare. 1t has been without
a counterpart IN IT'S brutality and It's destructive

has been shocked and aroused never before.
our Government has neither coveted the island nor
sought by force 10 control lts administration. It
has been our settled policy from early period to
hermit no foreign Interference with the Spanish

been that Cuba should fall under the sovereignty

CAMARA AT CADlZ.
The People Are for Peace at Almost Any
Price.


New York, July 90.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from Gibraltar says: Ad-
miral Camara's squadron, consisting Of
the flagship Pelayo, the Emperador
Carlos ", the Rapido. the Patricia, the
Buenos Ayres. the Audaz and the Piel-
ago. left Cartagena Tuesday after
moon, and passing the straits of Gibral-
tar at night without being observed,
arrived on Wednesday morning at Ca
dir. The Lepanto and two torpedo boat
d~estroyers remain at Cartagena.
Admiral Camara's arrival at Cadiz
aroused no enthusiasm whatever among
the people, who on account Of the rigor-
Gus press censorship. remain i'm ignor-
ance of everything going on in the out
side world.
While in Cadiz on Wednesday the
Tribune correspondent noticed that the
universal desire of the civilian popu-
lation remaining there was for peace at
any price. Every one seemed heartily
sick Of the war. The losses To
cial classes, owing to the complete
stagnation of business Of every descrip-
ton, has told terribly upon the mer-
chants, and the only persons who at
all favor continuing the war are a few
military officials and functionaries

Philippine Natives Wish To he Part of
the United States.
Manila. July %, via Hong Kong. July
0.-Conversation with a considerable
number of natives failed to disclose the
existence of any perceptible anti-Amer-
lean feeling among the Philippines. These
people are apparently satisfied TO accept
annexation to the United States. Their
principal desire is for a peaceful exist
ence with the minimum of trouble. They,
however, earnestly wish the abolition of
oppression incident to Spanish official ra-
pacity there and the tyranny of the re-
ligious bodies. The natives rave no OBJ
lection to the church. apart from the or
ders of friars. The Philippines are scarce
ly interested in any particular form of
government. but only desire TO be left
alone.
The rebels who recently captured Caloo-
can shelled the Spanish block house at
Maipago. where. after having smashed
the Spanish cannon they stormed the
place and bayoneted 20 Spaniards.
German officials here explain that the
landing of food at Manila recently was
merely a trife. and was for the relief of
residents. II has now been de-
cided TO discontinue this mode of aiding
the subjects of Germany at Manila.

IT'S THE REGULAR THING
Saloon Holdups Are Getting to
Be Epidemic.
NO CLUE TO THE LAST
It VIII Take a Bullet Through h Black
Masks to Put a Stop to It-Harris
Asked Them to Have
a Drink.

Men in black masks holding up sa-
looms and roadhouses and burglarizing
residences are getting to be a regular
thing in Butte in the early hours of
the morning, as regular as the incen-
diary fires were in Butte a few years
ago. The police were diligently at
work yesterday trying to trace the
hold-up at the Copper State saloon,
which was briefly recounted in y%ester-
days Standard. but have been unable
to locate the ~highwaymen. There will
have to be a bullet or two put through
the black masks before the work is
stopped, for thus far the h~ighwaymen
have been encouragingly successful.
According to the story of Samuel III.
Harris, the bartender, the two men en-
tered the saloon, located at No. 800
South Arizona street, a little after 2
o'clock. They entered the saloon from
the Arizona street side in single file,
each holding a gun in front of him with
both hands. When within a few feet of
Harris the man in the rear stepped out
n both gave the command for him to
throw up his hands. Harris dropped
the paper he had been reading, and as
he was several feet away from his gun,
he complied with the demand. One
man kept guard over him while the
other went to the cash drawer, opened
it and took the money, which consisted
of SCI in silver and a IS bill.
There were three checks in the draw
er and he took one of them only. 1t
was drawn on the Silver Bow National
bank and was payable to Koner &
Baker and signed by Edgar Dayton.
1t was for SLABS.
The second highwayman meanwhile
asked Harris If he had anything in his
pockets, and Harris said he was broke.
He was not searched, and thus saved
his gold watch. Another gold watch
which was in the cash drawer and had
been left as security for a debt several
weeks ago was also left behind.
After taking the money the robbers
started for the door, walking backward
still with their guns leveled at Harris.
The latter, thinking that something
might be gained by delay, said, laugh
ingly: Won't o have a drink before
you go?"
One of the robbers paid no attention
to the invitation, but the other said:
Hear what he says? Let's have a
drink" The other hold-up then went
behind the bar and took up an empty
whiskey bottle. He had walked half
across the room before he noticed
that ii was empty. He returned and
got another bottle. Hurry up" called
his companion, who had remained on
guard at the saloon door.
The man after h whiskey found the
second bottle empty also. He said:
Let the whiskey go to hell" and Joined
his companion. Both disappeared on
street. o
Harris at once aroused ]. f. Ledford,
the proprietor, who sleeps over the sa-
loon, and then notified police headquar-
ters. Harris was unable to give much
of a description of the robbers, but
thinks he will be able to identify them
they are captured. Up to a late hour
last night no suspect had been arrested.
