FRIENDSHIP OF FRANCE.
state Department Reaches n, Tn
derstandinR with French ORcinls.


Washington. May 2i.-As result OF
several recent exchanges between the
officials Of the state department and
those Of the French embassy an
agreeable understanding has been
reached which gives assurances OF a
continuance OF traditional friendship
existing between the United States
and France. 1t has served to make
clear that each government has the
fullest confidence in the friendly atti.
tude of the other. and many criticisms
aroused by incidents in the war have
not been shared by the government Of
ficials of either country. All misappre-
hension on the steamer Lafayette Incl
dent and the alleged holding OF official
dispatches at Martinique were cleared
up. As TO the Lafayette the state de-
partment never questioned the govern
ment's faith in French authorities.
and as to the delay in dispatches this
was disposed OF b. the fact that the
messages came over the British, not
the French. cable line. Altogether the
recent exchanges have produced q
pleasant impression on both sides, and
IL feeling that any apparent estrange-
ment between the two countries has
been overcome.

Absence of news from the fleets
causes all kinds OF wild rumors.
Messages received ut Madrid say that
the Spanish squadron has arrived at
Santiago de Cuba.
The forts mt Santiago de Cuba open
fire on two American warships, but the
latter make no reply.
The Montgomery has a lively engage
ment with two Spanish gunboats Off

The shortcomings of our military
service, which are developing day by
day, make delays unavoidable.
The Spanish loss ut CienfuegSs dur

placed at three hundred killed.
The state department comes 70 an

ance Of the traditional friendship.

william Martin Does Not Like the Kind
of Justice Judge Williams Dtspen.es.
There was quite an exciting little time
in Judge Williams court yesterday aft
ernoon. when the trial of the ease Of
the state against John Gillespie came
up for trial. William Martin was the
complaining witness i'm the case and he
charged Gillespie with grand larceny as
bailee. In refusing to give up a set of
harness which Martin had loaned him
some time ago The evidence went to
show that h charge against Gillespie
was unfourded. n upon motion of ].
II. Duny. counsel for the defendant.
Judge Williams granted a non-suit and
assessed the costs to Martin.
Martin apparently didn't like this. for
as he was leaving the court room he
turned about and said that the d
ers of Deer Lodge county must b. aw-
full big fools to put a mar like williams
In a Justice The court considered
this remark as entirely uncalled for ard
fined Martin $40 for contempt. Ar he
did so Martin sprang out of the door
and refused to be arrested. The county
attorneys Office took the matter up and
will see to il that the fine is paid.

MONTANA IS BETTER.

Rev. w. r. custer Writes Of Th,nrs m
They Are an the Pacific Coast.
A letter has beer received from Rev.
w. T. custer of the local Methodist
church. who is now on a vacation to
the Pacific coast. Mr.. custer writes
that he finds very little of the coast
country to be compared with Montana.
He states that real estate prices are
lower there than here; that Tacoma.
Seattle and Portland have been aided
some by the Klondike rush, but that
Butte and Anaconda need feel no
shame by comparison. The other parts
OF the coast. writes Mr.. custer, are far
behind Montana In prosperity and gen.
eral business conditions.
The war spirit has also struck the
coast. and the reverend gentleman
says that any number of men are anxi-
Gus to enlist in the war with Spain. He
says that Senate turner is being iaud-
cd to the skies for his recent Cuban
speech. Mr.. custer finds the sentiment
I'm favor of free silver very strong in
some parts OF the states he has visited.
Altogether he considers the state Of
Washington a pretty good state, but not
near so good as Montana.

Rumor has 1t that claims of any
kind or quality are selling on the OUT
side for fabulous sums. Well. It may
be true. but II Is q very unreasonable
proposition at best. There are claims in
gulches being sent out for sale that
there has been gold in paying
quantities discovered. inc some that
have never been p~rospected, and Amer
leans or citizens of the United States
understand II there has been no
work done on a located and recorded
claim In the Yukon district at the ex-
piration OF nine months it reverts to
the government and is sold to highest
and best bidder-generally the best"
bidder gets II. There may be many
persons on h outside that will pur-
chase at all hazards. but think they
are few. Claims should be reported on
and exported by some reliable person
in here before parties invest on the
outside. The yield or product OF the
mines in this district will not be as
large as ! had formerly predicted. as
many OF the miners on account of the
of the weather and occasional
overflow OF water and stampedinR
craze threw up their lays. locating
claims. and are now going out on the
Ice as boomers post haste to assist in
supplying the demands for Klondike

Smallpox,

Two more cases were taken to the
pest house today, making total of ten
being confined there This should not
occasion alarm, however, as they were
taken from the house on Stratton hill,
which has been under quarantine for
the past two weeks, it being the house
in which the negro, Dowell, stopped
after returning from Middlesboro with
the disease. After learning DOwell's
condition the house was at once quaran-
tined, and has been under strict rules
ever since, and as soon as any of the
occupants show signs of smallpox they
are at once removed to the pest house.
The city schools closed yesterday for
a week or so until all danger is over.
The state board of health has authoriz-
ed house to house vaccination for
Washington county. Every precaution
is being taken to prevent the spread of
the disease, and it is not likely that it
will go beyond those who came in con-
tact with Dowell.
Business of all kinds is almost para
lyzed from the effects of it.
