surrender, but he may be betrayed or

galos seeking to win favor in one of
the ways that would naturally sug-

judge us by the Spaniards with whom

said Captain Harry l.. Wells who
arrived in Anaconda last evening for
the purpose of lecturing on the Phil
ippines at the Margaret this after
noon and tonight. Captain Wells was
not only an officer through the entire
campaign last spring, but was the
most noted war correspondent in Ma
MIA. his letters to the New York Post
containing so much news of the real
situation over there that they were
copied by papers that had correspond
ents of their own in Manila AS to the
situation there now Captain Wells
continued
The only body of insurgents that
have not yet been driven out of the
legicn they occupied at the time the
instruction broke out are those in
Cavite province, due south of Manila
Ihese have been almost undisturoed,
and Otis viii soon send a strong force
against them. 1t is entirely safe to
predict that they will not make any
serious defense, but. will speedily be
scattered. There is no fight left in the
Filipncs. Those who are still under
arms constitute but a small part of
the original insurgents, and an ex
tremely small portion OF the entire
population. Most of the people are
anxious for peace, and were all the
time for that matter. They under
stand the situation great deal bet
ter now than they did, and are per-
fectly willing the Americans shall con-
trcl the government, so that they have
their personal liberty and are protect
cd from bandits and the murderous
vengeance of these irreconciliable Kat
ipunans who are now the only ones
under arms. In my lecture l explain
these matters much more fully, and
I illustrate it with more than 100 large
stereopticon views of battles cam
paign scenes, natives, Filipino SOL
diers, Manila. etc My talk to the
children Is not like my evening lecture
but one especially prepared for them.
and to meet their understanding I
have a number of pictures of special
interest to the Montana volunteers,
and / shall make special reference to
the splendid work your home regiment
performed. ''ts--t &-s.s

recent dispatch from Washington on

recent dispatch from Washington on
this subject says:
In European diplomatic circles it is
strenuOusly contended that Great Brit
ain, while she has gained the advan-
tage of securing the right of search
and in preventing the departure of
armed expeditions to the Transvaal,
has nevertheless made a great conces-
sion to her disadvantage. 1t is argued
that by the announcement of a state Of
war in South Africa she has practi-
cally declared that the Dutch republics
are quasi-independent states, and that
no matter what the outcome of the
war may be, these states can never
be absorbed or annexed as part Of the
British empire in South Africa. In
other words. these diplomats make
the important contention that Great
Britain has practically given the as
surance that the war is merely for the
purpose of maintaining her honor and
dignity and cannot possibly have the
result of swallowing the Dutch repub-
lies
Not only in the United States. but
in all the continental countries of Eu-
rope. is Boer sympathy rife. A dis
patch says: ~
"All Europe, it seems. is privately
assisting the Beers. 1t is estimated
that at least 100 expeditions to the
Transvaal are in course of preparation
in various European countries
Some expeditions already have de-
parted. Havre. France, has been the
chief point of departure. A number of
Americans have made that thor point
of departure after leaving New York.
It is said there is an organization in
New York that sends the men to
Havre, from whence they are dis
patched to South Africa route be-

WHY HE WEPT.
His Mother Told the Chubby Urenin
Where and How he Had
Been Hurt.

A very fat little boy with chubby legs
that stuck out at right angles from his
watermelon-shaped body sat in
Georgetown car one day. His fond
mamma was engrossed in says She
ing" and Says heing" with her COM
panion, and Master Chunk made up
his mind that he'd like to look out OF
the window. He rolled over and
climbed up on the seat, says the Wash
ington Post.
Now, don't do that" said mamma.
"You know you've had one awful fall
to-day doing that. so sit right down."
where did I fall, mar" be piped,
shrilly.
"In the street car"
ibid ! hurt myself" he asked.
"Yes," she answered.
"Where?" and he looked anxious.
"On the hand" his mother replied
Master Chunk raised one cushion of
hand to his head. and then, without the
slightest warning. he let up roar that
would have made the bull of Bashan
green with envy. All the way up to
High street mamma was busy comfort
ing him. She had recalled a painful
circumstance to him and he wept-
wept the more loudly since there was no
present pain to distract his attention.
And the woman across the car said
II he was her child he'd stop yelling or
she'd know the reason why.
