VICIOUS TEMPERS AROUSED.
Joe Cottrell, the Most Violent of the
Crowd, VIII Have n Hearing.


Great Falls, Aug. 9.-There is peace in
the house of Joe Cottrell, but just about
noon IL was more like a scene between
Spanish gueTTillas destroying a sugar
plantation in Cuba. According TO the
story of the police and the neighbors.
Mrs. Cottrell as a Woodworking woman
who has for some time been the means
of support of the Cottrell household. She
worked at the laundry of the Great
Falls hotel until her husband. by COM
ing around there In a drunken condi-
ton and making a nuisance of himself,
caused her to lose the job. Then she
went to work in the Troy laundry.
Joe is supposed to be a cook. but there
Is no damaging evidence as 10 ms hav-
ing recently been employed in the
business. To-day he went to the laun-
dry and asked Mrs. Cottrell for money.
She gave him so cents, all she had. He
went out and ran hat up and then
came back for more. When she told
him she no more he struck her and she
was protected by Mr.. Weidman and
others in the laundry. Then she went
to the station for a warrant. In the
meantime Joe had gone TO the house,
and. as she told the officers she feared
he would do, went to destroying the fur
niture. Sol Yates. the jailcr. consented
to walk down with Mrs. Cottrell with

they reached the house Joe was busy
tearing up clothing and carpets and
breaking the furniture. He had smash
ed in the top Of the stove and piled
the fragments of furniture upon IL.
Then he had upset the -four, rice, coffee,
molasses and such stun over the pile
and had ruined all of his wife's clothing
which he could find. He tried to abuse
the woman on her arrival. but Yates
prevented that with an upper cut on the
Jaw and a side swipe over the temple,
and turned his man over 10 Special Of

sufficient punishment. Accordingly Joe
will come up. as soon as he sobers up,
before Judge Burleigh and get a taste
or state law on the subject.
This noon was a particularly hot time
at the police station. II the same time
with the Cottrell fracas there was a
man over in the Stockholm starting a
small riot. but when the officers arrived
ne had skipped out without doing much
damage. Then there was a tight among
some colored people on the south side,

ANY Old Flag.

From the New York Tribune.
In a New Orleans cafe a group Of men
were discussing the victory Of the Ameri-
can feet at Santiago. when a stranger,
who stood within earshot OF the patriotic
expressions, said, In a rather mournful
voice: We'll. boys. you may talk as you
please. but / would give my right arm TO
see the Spanish flag floating over New Or
leans" There was a mad rush for the
newcomer and for some seconds the air
was full of swinginE arms As the
stranger regained his feet and pulled his
battered remains together he attempted
a smile that faded into a CHASTITY grin,
and he whined out:
You fellows are too quick. That's my
little joke. l am blind"

sample market was active. Offerings were

Terrible Scenes In the Vicinity Of the
Spanish Camp at Santiago.
Santiago de Cuba Aug. 18.-The
Eighth Illinois arrived this afternoon
and will garrison and police the city.
The bodies Of the dead Spanish arc
to be cremated.a Over 700 have been
burned so far. This afternoon 70 were
to be burned. Over two rails dozen
bodies ale stretched and across them
another dozen and about 80 corpses are
stacked In an immense funeral pile 10
feet high. The pile Is then saturated
with kerosene and the torch applied.
A fall Of rain put out the fire causing
the bodies to be only halt burned.
Around the pile lay 80 collins contain
ing corpses in state Of decomposition.
Several naked bodies we're strewn on
the ground in condition Of putreiac-
ton. Altogether about 70 unburied
and unconsumed bodies were there.
The stencil was terrible. This hap.
pened at cemetery within the city
limits. The authorities and the GENE:
terry officials say it is impossible to get
men to work at the cremation. Wages
of a dollar day prove no inducement
to the natives to work at this gruesome
toll.
The unconsumed bodies will be left
on the earth until tomorrow when fine
weather may help the work OF crema.

CUBAN STOCKS sooMINo.


Peace Negotiations Had IN Electrical
Effect ON the Market.
Havana. Aug. 1a-The reports put
In circulation some days since with
respect to the progress Of the peace ne
gotiations between Spain and the
United States have had the effect Of
stimulating orders sent from Europe
and other countries by cable to buy
Cuban public stock. So far back az
August 10, the rise In all securities
of this class began, and silver rose from
40 per cent discount to % per cent dis
count, while railway stocks rose from
% to so points in some instances, al
though the rumors that the peace arti-
Giles had already been signed were be-
lieved by many to be tricks of specula-
tors to manipulate the stock market.
When the facts were known, the rise
was maintained.
The news that Blanco had dispatches
from NJ. Cam bon, the French ambassa-
dor at Washington, definitely declaring
that the peace preliminaries were set
tied and signed, spread with lightning
rapidity through the city, and there
was general relief at the prospect of a
treaty of peace that would put an end
to the splitting of blood, and the long
era Of desolation and ruin from which
the island had suffered, as there is
scarcely a Cuban or Spanish family
which has not felt the terrible depres-
sion of the war. There has also been
a complete paralysis of business for
nearly four months.
Despite the rumors of the signing Of
the protocol we're confirmed news came
almost simultaneously that an Ameri-
can boat flying flag of truce carried
an officer from the American warships
of Manzanillo with a formal demand
for the surrender OF the town on the
same terms as at the capitulation OF
Santiago de Cuba. On the demand be-
ing refused bonn bardment was begun
at 5 O'Clock in the afternoon by three
warships which resulted in the destruo-
ton of Is houses and the wounding Of
Is Spaniards, one seriously.
This intelligence for the time
seemed to discredit peace rumors which
had caused the rise in the public stock
and there was slight reaction.
An additional cause of dep, ession
was statement made on Saturday at
tefnoon by General Blanco presiding
at q council extraordinary Of all the
members of the colonial government.
The captain-general declared that the
exact conditions entered into between
Spain and the United States could not
be learned until official news was re.
ceived from Madrid. But 1t was doubt.
full ii the agreement reached observed
all the conditions stipulated on the part
OF Spain.
General Blanco also announced that
orders had been given by the United
States government to Its military and
naval forces for an immediate suspen.
sion OF hostilities. In view of these
announcements, the colonial council
adopted important resolutions which
thus far have been kept secret.

Ran into . washout.

Chicago, Aug. 16.-Battery A, Colo
RADIO light artillery, passed through
Chicago today on the way to Fort Ham
cock, N. Y. The troops arrived over
the Santa Fe road just too late to make
connection with an eastbound train.
They were delayed by an accident. A
washout occurred near Memo, Ill and
to the speed Of the train the men owe
their lives As the laat tourist car
passed over small cowpit, the Ioadbed
collapsed and the car plunged from the
rails. Every man on the train wan
awakened, but before it came TO .

Cuban Thief Shot.

Santiago. Aug. 18.-This morning
Cuban was shot by sentry, who caught
him stealing commissary stores at the
dock. Yesterday It was discovered
enough goods had been stolen to make
three carloads, which had been taken
out surreptitiously to the Cubans In
the field. The man under suspicion
returned to the wharf last night, EVIL
IDENTIFY with the intention of continu-
Ing his thefts, but he was warned off.
Early this morning he was again found
there. When the sentry challenged
him he ran, refusing to obey the order
to halt. As he was likely to escape,
the sentry fred and killed him.
The occurrence is regretted by Cen
eral Wood and the American officers
generally, but 1t probably will have a
salutaIy effect, as raids on the commits
sary and the medical and Red Cross
stores have been altogether too fre-
quent to be tolerated any longer.
