1t has probably been forgotten by
most folks. IL they ever knew. that
Great Britain has a claim against
Spain for the ownership OF the Philip
pines which has never been settled. but
inasmuch as the British government
has shown favor to the idea of the
United States maintaining control over
them. no other power can have cause
to interfere. The facts are these: On
Oct. 6. 1852. the town of Manila, then
a Spanish dependency. c~apitulated to a
British force under Admiral Cornish
and Col. w. Draper. To save the town.
the archbishop. on behalf OF his mas
ter. the king of Spain. agreed to ram
SON the town and Lar for G1.000 900.
OF this sum one-half was paid in mon
ey and the other half in bills upon the
Spanish treasury. These bills have
never been paid. In reply to a subse-
quent demand upon Spain by the Brit
ish government. the claim was made
that the islands have been restored to
her by England under the treaty OF
Paris, signed in 1863. An investigation
made later shows that the subject was
never even mentioned In that docu-
ment. nor Is any reference whatever
made to the Philippine Islands AT
simple interest the delayed payment of
$500. 900 would now amount to f2.5oO.-
000. and the subject of a demand for a
settlement on the part of Spain may
be brought up before her majestys
government.

1t Came Too Late.

Missoula, June 1s.-It Is a peculiar
fact in connection with the Gallatin
valley flyer h a was taken OF last
night by the railway management /pat
the train was crowded between Hefena
n Garrison yesterday afternoon. its
last run. The rush came too late. how
ever, and the train is a thing OF the
past. as far as that portion OF the line
is concerned. The Helena opinion Is
that IL the train had been continued
for another month 1t would have turned
out to be a good thing. The people
have been waiting for better weather
and lower water to come out for their
fishing and camping.
