| the company dispatched couriers down
the river for a number of miles to ap-
prise settlers Of danger and urge them
to move their household goods TO places
OF safety and keep themselves and live
stock away from the river bank until
the danger point has passed.
The startling news about the dam
created something of a sensation when
II reached town. just before noon. Many
procured teams and hastened to the
scene. A. NJ. Hotter. A. j. Seligman,
Superintendent Rossberg of the concen-
traitor. s. T. Hauser and others interest

from Mr.. Hotter the Standard reporter
learns that the danger Is not as immi-
nent as at first feared. While admit
ting the seriousness of the situation. Mr..
Hotter says from his information of
the construction OF the dam, and from
what he observed to-day, he does not
believe that 1t will be possible for any
large portion of II to go out, even
though all Of the lower aprons may
lose their piles and go down stream.
He says he believes the upper portions
of the structure will gradually crumble.

SO that there will be no great damage
down stream.
II am considerably relieved as to the
danger" said he to the reporter. II
saw enough to convince me that while
IL is a serious proposition. there 10 no
possibility of the dam givir.g away in
a large section at once. II can't give
way. only portions of the top may, by
the loss OF the lower aprons, incline so
far down stream as to make them top
heavy from the force of water. But
don't believe there will be much of a
loss of lower aprons, as ] have every
faith In the means now being used to
rip rap along the edges OF the lower
apron to prevent the back water from
undermining the piling."
Several parties who returned tonight
bring word Of having seen piles wrench
ed from their fastenings and sent down
stream by the fearful rush Of water. All
Of the flood gates that can be used are
wide open. and the water wheels run
ming in order to take as much Of the
water from the dam as possible. The
high water has rendered the situatio
unfortunate. The success of present
efforts to strengthen the dam at the
weak point will be watched with inter-
est. SO far as can be seen from the
bank, there is only one place where
the dam seems to have settled, the bal
ance of the structure being perfectly
intact. The frame work Of the dam Is
about 500 feet long. and In some places
20 feet high. backing up the river about
Il miles.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, June 2l.-The unprecedented
high water in the Missouri river due
TO the heavy rains and rapid melting of
mountain snow, has subjected the big
dam across the river at Canyon Ferry
to a strain that its builders never an
ticipated. and grave fears are enter
tained of its ability to Withstand the
pressure until the water subsidies. For
six weeks a volume OF water repre-
senting millions of tons per day, has
been tumbling over the great barrier
that human skill and ingenuity erected
for the purpose of harnessing the power
of the big river. 1t Is said that for a
few days as much as six feet of water
was going over the dam, but this
amount has lessened In the past few
days. until now not to exceed five feet
pours down the declivity.
Where the water strikes the bed Of
the river after flowing over the dam IL
boils and seethes like q veritable whirl-
pool rapids. The effect Of this has been
to grind the river bottom down to bed
rock and loosen some Of the piles hold
ing the lower Of the four aprons that
constitute the frame portion Of the
structure. The result has been that
about 20 feet from this (the wesD end
Of the dam. the top OF the structure APP
pears TO have settled or bulged out.
This settling or bulging was first no.
ticed this morning.
The engineer In charge OF the work
soon diagnosed the case as given above.
and sent hurried orders to town for
men and material with which to haul
rock out where the water is taking
away the foundation Of the piling. A
wire cable was procured and this af-
ternoon IL was stretched across the
river just on the lower edge Of the dam.
The idea il to rig up contrivance that

which. supported by q pulley running
on the cable. can be hauled out over
the river and dumped where the back
flow Is doing the most damage. A
large force Of men is at work getting
the rock ready to be sent out on the
travelling derrick. and the belief is that
before morning a large amount Of rock
will have been carried out over the
river and dropped where needed. By
aid of electric lights the force will work
all night. A stationary engine Is used
to haul the traveller out to where the
rock Is needed.
The situation il grave. but the off,
ciais Of the company have every hope
Of preventing the dam being carried
away. In order to be on the safe side

1T Is BUT AN INCIDENT.
The Purpose of the Army in Moving on
Santiago.


Santiago.
Washington, June 21.--Now that the
army Is about to set foot on Cuban soil,
the purpose of this move on Santiago
was pointed out to-day bv an army
official fully acquainted with the gen.
eral plan of annexation. He said San
tiago de Cuba was not to be made a
military base of operations. as IL was
not adapted for such use. Being far
removed from the rich and populous
portion Of the island. without railroad
or ordinary highways for transporta-
tion OF munitions of war westward,
the town would be particularly useless
as a basis of military supplies. Fer
that reason. he said. there had never
been an idea Of occupying this place
as the first base. and then gradually
extending military operations west
ward.
On the contrary. this occupation Of
Santiago was but an incident OF the
general plan OF occupying such ports
and in due time there would be land
ings In the west end OF Cuba just as
there has been at the east end. When
that occurred each point of landing
would serve for the time being as a
base for the surrounding country.
Santiago could no more be used as a
base for reaching Havana than could
Havana for reaching Santiago. The
occupation of Santiago. he pointed out.
would accomplish several incidental,
but very desirable ends. First of these
was the capture of Admiral Cervera's Q
fleet, which would always remain a
menace and an uncertain fector until
entirely disposed of.
Another point was the relief of Hob
son and his brave band Of associates
and the raising Of the American flag in
Cuban soil. whether at the east or west
end. would have a powerful moral in
fiuence, alike stimulating to our own
people and our fighting forces and dis
heartening to Spain
The humiliation to Spain was in hav-
ing our men and our flag planted on
her soil. whether the particular point
was to be used as a base of operations
or not. II would also convey notice to
the world at large that the United
States was entrenched on the island of
Cuba as well as In the Philippines.

New York. June 2l.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The arrival of the 5th army corps un-
der General Skafter at the rendezvous
on Santiago. which, in the opinion of
army and navy officers. has occurred by
this time, develops the most interesting
contingency of the war. and there Is
frank curiosity among the highest offi-
cials as well as upon the part Of the
American republic, to receive authentic
reports describing the debarkation Of
such a great military force upon the
shores Of a country held by an active
enemy. The difficulties involved in this
landing are thoroughly appreciated by
military and navy men. who are unable
to conceal their uneasiness regarding its
practical execution.
Civilians who are familiar with Span
ish operations during the last two years
in Cuba are confident that General
Shafter will meet with only sporadic
and Intellectual attacks by scattered
guerilla bands, and that the rapidity
of his investment Of the city and hay
will both astonish and crafty every
one but the friends Of Spain.

WARREN'S NEW MANAGER.
A. U. SeIak Will From Now on Guide
This Well-known Club.

At a meeting of the Warren Foot Ball
Club last night letter from Scott Beggs,
the manager of the club, was received,
saying, that owing to unforeseen reasons
he would have to resign the management
of the team, and also that the members
would do him great favor by relieving
him.
After a little debating on the part of
several of the members, Mr.. Beggs' res
ignation was accepted. This left the
club without manager, and, to further
the interests of the organization, a COM
mittee was appointed, which not only
waited on, but insisted on A. U. Selak
acting as manager for the balance of the
season.
After lot of hard work on the part of
the committee Mr.. Selak finally consent
ed to become manager of the club for
the remainder Of the season.
That the members of the club did well
when they selected Mr.. Selak to act as
manager there is little doubt, as the club
has passed many a successful season
with this gentleman guiding it.
Mr.. Selak will get to work arranging
good schedule of games, and in the
future every thing will run smoothly in
this well-known organization.
