THE OLD FIGHT ON.
Much Feeling Among the Miners in the
Cnur d'Alenes.


Cnur d'Alenes.
San Francisco, May 29-Brigadier
General H. C. Merriam, who was sta
toned in this city in commend of the
department of the Columbia during the
war with Spain, arrived here to-day
from Wardner, Idaho, where he was
sent to bring the rioting Occur d Alene
miners into subsection. His visit Was
for the purpose of making report to
General Shafter of the status and pros
poets of the big miners strike, the
Occur d'Alene district being situated
within General Skaters jurisdiction.
He had long conference with General
Shafter and left for Denver on the
Central overland tonight.
When seen at the Palace hotel, Gen
eral Merriam said that peace prevailed
in the turbulent mining camp when he
left there a few days ago.
I'VE have 500 troops on the ground
under command of Major Smith of the
1st cavalry and they are in complete
control of the situation" he said. The
troops are there simply to preserve
peace SO that the state authorities may
act without being molested or murder
ed AS for the outcome of the difficulty
! shall have to be excused from eN-
pressing an opinion. Conditions are
now entirely peaceful, and to judge
from outward indications there is no
trouble. But of course there is trou-
BILE. There is a great deal of feeling
among the miners, although it is not
finding expression just now in overt
acts. There is no doubt that the old
fight is on again. The state authorities
are making rapid progress in their
work of fixing the responsibility for the
recent outrages. AS many as 700 strik-
ing miners were prisoners at one time.
The number has been gradually re-
duced as the innocence of many has
been determined by investigation.
When I left Wardner there were $50
prisoners in the stockade."
General Merriam informed General
Shafter that the whole difficulty would
be adjusted without any further serious
interference from the strikers.

VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN.
Rainy Season Will Not stop the Opera
tions.

New York May ga dispatch to
the Herald from Manila says: General
Otis says, contradicting the general i'm
preston that the campaign against the
insurgents will not be prosecuted
by the American forces with the utmost
ageressiveness possible during the
rainy season. General Lawton is of
the opinion that an early settlement
of the present troubles and the close
of hostilities depends largely upon the
Americans giving rigid protection to
the working classes in their peaceful
occupations. while Waging incessant
war against the armed forces of the
enemy from this time forth by means
of guerilla warfare. He will show the
insurgents by vigorous action on the
rivers, lakes and mountains that their
belief that our troops cannot campaign
in the rainy seasons or in the noun
tains is untrue. Later 1t is possible
that the changing conditions may de-
mand garrisons by districts. so that
the valuable part of the islands will be
safe for the investment of capital and
for the prosecution of industries until
the Americans are dominant. Quick
transportation of the cavalry and the
pack mules is desirable as means or
rounding up the insurgents.

COURTS RE-ESTABLlSHED.
Prominent Filipinos Have Been Selected
for the Judgeships.


Manila, May 29-An order has been
issued re-establishing the Philippine
courts, which have been closed since
the American occupation. 1t revives
all the Spanish system not conflicting
with the sovereignty of the United
States.
The chief justice is Caytuma Arralano.
The associates of the civil branch are
Manuel Araulla, Colonel Crowder and
Georgia Arilita. The justices of the
criminal branch are Raymundo Mel
lisa. Ambrosio Rianazares, Julio Lo-
rento, Major Young and Captain Birk-
himer. The attorney general is Floren-
ito Torres. This corresponds with the
American supreme court.
The cath prescribed begins Il rec
ognize and accept the supreme author
ity of the United States of America
etc.
The Filipino members are all proni-
nent lawyers Arrellano is the leader
of his profession in the islands. In the
early stages of the Filipino movement
he was Aguinaldo's principal adviser.
Avanita was a member of Aguinaldo' $
first cabinet Mellisa was president of
the insurgent government at lloilo.
Torres was the leader of the local COM
mittee working with the commission to
conciliate the insurrectioniSts.
Spanish will be the official language
of the courts. There has been agitation
among the local British and American
business men and American lawyers
who come to the island to make for
tunes, to have the English language
and code adopted, but General Otis
concluded that it would be unwise, even
if it was practicable, to upset long
usage. He thought it best to give the
natives courts in the language to which
they have been accustomed. The Span
tsh salaries proved a stumbling block
to obtaining good men. the highest be-
ing only $4,000, the Spanish judges re-
ceving fees, which are abolished. All
the judges are representative men.
Two correspondents of a New York
newspaper have been disbarred for fab
ricating an interview with General
Lawton, dated Manila, May %, and for
evading the censorship.
The steamer FL Cano has arrived here
from the island Of Guam, bringing the

lice report furnished by NJ. Guene, the
detective. all unfavorable to Dreyfus,
and reports Of the prefecture of police,
pointing out that there had been con-
fusion of Dreyfus with others of the
same name, who had been mixed up
with gambling and disreputabe female
associates. The latter reports We're not
produced at the trial in 1894. NJ Bal
lot de Beaupre then pointed out that
Dreyfus could not have acted as a
traitor from anger or disappointment
as he had the finest prospects of an
excellent military career On the other
hand, Esterhazy, the reporter alleged,
was soldier of fortune, always beg
ging from the money lenders.
Continuing, the report refers to let
ters written by Esterhazy abusing
France and the French, producing a
deep impression upon the audience
He referred to letter written by rs
terhazy to Baron Rothschild dated
June II, 1894, to the effect that if his
application for money were refused he
would have no resource but to kill his
family and then commit suicide.
Such, said the reporter, was Ester
hazy's language on the eve of the date
when the bordereau was placed The
inference to be drawn was that Ester
haZy sought in treason resources nee
essary to carry on a life of dissipa-
ton.
At this point, with the evident ap
proval of all who listened, NJ. Ballot
de Beaupre quoted from NJ. Mornard' 5
statement as follows:
Although justice has been rendered
more or less impotent, with regard to
EsterhaZy, by the latter's acquittal of
being the author of the bordereau, 1t
is none the less the duty of the SUI
preme court to restore liberty to an
innocent man unjustly condemned"
Prior to the adjournment NJ. Ballot
de Beaupre read q letter from the
British general. Talbot, who in 1894
was attached to the British embassy
in Paris, rectifying the deposition of
General Marquis de Gallifol. This let
ter reached NJ. Mazeau through diplo-
matte channels. In it General Talbot
said that Marquis de Galifol has mis-
interpreted his (Talbot's) words, as he
had never had personal relations with
EsterhaZy in the way of espionage,
but had simply heard that Esterhazy' S
character was we'll known to the for
eign military attaches. The court ad-
journed al $50, when very few of the
public yet remained in the vicinity.

paratus to work he was unable to stop
before reaching the crossing. He
neither heard the railroad men sound
any alarm, ring the bell or blow the
whistle.
The railroad people insist that they
are not in any way to blame. The en-
gineer claimed that he had every rea-
son to expect the electric car to stop
at safe distance. Tine railroad people
claim that the fact that the locomotive
was brought to stop within less than
100 feet of the crossing is evidence that
the train could not have been moving
at a great rate Of speed
The electric car was behind time and
was going at a pretty lively rate.

Reculations Modified.

San Juan de Porto Rico, May 29.-Gov-
ernor General Davis has issued an order to
the customs officials to permit the entry
into Porto Rico of goods of any person
upon payment of the ordinary duties.
This ruling is the result of a long-stand-
ing controversy between the authorities
and the Cuban Pan-American Express
company. which claimed the customs Off
GERS. under the new regulations, had no
right to enforce on imports licenses and
taxes imposed by the insular authorities.
The ruling Of Governor General Davis is
regarded with the most favor by busi-
ness men. who can now import their
goods without prohibitive restrictions of
the insular government.

1T IS SAD NEWS.
All Hopes of Recovering Captain Tiliy's
Body Abandoned.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, May 29.-The announcement In
to-day's dispatches of the manner in
which Captain George H. Tilly lost his
life in the Philippines removed the last
lingering hope that he might have been
captured and would eventually be re-
stored to his family and friends. 1t ap-
pears he was with a party landing on
the island of Cebu, instead of Negros:
that the natives welcomed them with n
flag of truce, then commenced to fire on
them. TilIy was either killed or drowned
while trying to swim to the ship. He dis
appeared and his body has not been re-
covered 1t is feared that because of the
prevalence of sharks his body will not
be recovered. There is general sorrow in
Helena by reason of the sad news.
