EVIDENCE OF GERMAN GOOD WILL.
Manila Merchants Urged Annexation
to the United States.

BERLIN, January 17.-The United States
ambassador here, Mr. Andrew D. White,
Press:
'As conclusive answer to the assertion
that the Germans wish to stir the Filipinos
against the United States, one fact, out Of
many which may be mentioned, seems to
me conclusive to the contrary 1t is that
from the beginning the German merchants
in the Philippine Islands have been the
strongest advocates of American rule.
When the war with Spain was pending
the head of one of the leading German
houses in Manila came to Berlin, saw me
and urged the Importance Of our assuming
sovereignty there and taking complete con-
troll. He spoke to the same spurpose here
at the foreign Office, and then went to Paris
and saw various members Of the peace COM

QUARREL OVER A CLAIM.
Clarity Was Charged With Threatening
Caswell With an Axe.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Deer Lodge, May pa case of some
Importance was tried before w. L. Pow
ell, justice of the peace, to-day, in
which the state of Montana was plant
iff and Martin Clarity defendant with
Thomas c. Caswell as complainant. The
defendant was charged with assault in
having exhibited in a threatening man
ner a deadly weapon All the parties
to the suit were from Copper Cliff, an
unorganized mining district down near
Bonita, and are interested in mining
claims in that section. 1t was alleged
that Clarity owned a quartz claim upon
which he believed Caswell was tres
passing, and from which he drove Cas-
we'll and another man, using in a
threatening manner an axe with which
to enforce his command and also as a
means of accelerat ting their movements
in getting off the ground. AT least Cas-
we'll says that Clarity drew the axe
upon him and threatened to cut him in
two if he didn't get off the ground and
be mighty quick about it. Caswell also
claimed that Clarity did not own the
ground. not having done the represen-
tation work upon it, and that he had as
much right upon the ground as Gar
rfty had. He, however, left the premises
and caused Garrity's- arrest and prose-
cution, as stated above. On the other
! 1ldAu, tHS deleIludHL Cldl11l6u ne WAS
coming down along one of the side lines
of his claim using an axe which he car
ried in his hands for marking trees
along the line. SO that he could more
readily tell his boundaries when he
saw CasWell down in a pit on his ground
working away with pick and shovel.
Not relishing the idea of another man
working on his claim, Clarity went over
TO where Caswell was digging and
jumped down in the pit in front of him,
still holding the axe in his hands, but
not, as he claims making any demon
stration with it or using any abusive
or threatening language. Caswell
thought otherwise, and had him arrest
ed for drawing the axe upon him and
calling him vile names.

from Anaconda last night and prosecut-

Anaconda represented the defense The
case was tried before a jury composed

moned on the case from Copper Cliff

evidence and listening to the arguments
of counsel the jury, at 3:45 this after
noon, returned verdict of not guilty,
and the defendant was Immediately dis
charged.

Many attempts We're made by the

mutes really heard, or, seeing the
motions generating sound, were de-

The pianist was ordered to stop sud

were played, and then the perform
pretended to do so. The principal op-

moving his lips uttered no sound. In
