The ministers of Montana do not
propose to stand idly by and see the
legislature pass a law that will undo
the act of the last legislature and per-
NIT gambling to be licensed in Mon
tana again. They will make a deter
mined fight against the bill introduced
in the house by Representative Carr Of
Flathead county, that seeks to amend
the anti gambling law. Whether gam
bling is going on now or not is not the
question. They propose that SO far as
they can help it it shall net be carried
on under the cloak Of tire law in the
shape Of a license. Committees have
been appointed to appear before the
legislative committee having the bill
in charge and to keep alive sentiment
against the bill in other portions of the

Growing Chief, Kills Twice and
Plenty Young Men are the names Of
three Assinaboine Indians domiciled in
the Lewis and Clarke county Jail in the
absence Of bail pending their trial for
being implicated in the stabbing Of No
Coat or Running Crane, a Blaekfeot
Indian, on the reservation last Tues
day. Deputy United States Marshal
Wall brought the men to Helena to
prevent there being trouble in the event
Of No Coats death, also in default of
the bail fixed by United States Com
missioner Arnaux, $4,000 each. At
last ccount No Coat was in a dying
condition and may be already dead by
this time. The Blacfeet were very
much wrought up over the affair and
Agent Fuller feared it would be i'm
possible to keep them from wreaking
vengeance upon Growing Chief and
perhaps upon the others In the event of
No Coats death.

Mr.. Carter thought this country
needed a change in it's foreign policy
and thought u trade would not
amount to much abroad until it was
once thoroughly understood that an
American citizen would be protected in
all his rights in any part Of the world.
He thought it a shame on the United
States government that many of it's
citizens seeking protection passed by
the American c%onsulates and entered
those Of Great Britain or France.
Replying to a question by MI.

of the United States was the only
authority today recognized in the
Philippines. : "Being the only RESPONSE

Gomez Demands Sixty Millions from This
Government to Pay uban Soldiers.
Washington, Feb. Maxine Co
mez, the Cuban commanding general.
has demanded nearly $50, 900, 900 from
the United States and refuses to dis
band his ''armv'' until the money is
paid. He has re%pudiated the arrange
ment made by Calixto Garcia, who
came to Washington with authority
from Gomez to provide for the return
of the Cubans to their peaceful pursuits
and whose work was barely accom-
plished before his sudden death Of
December II.
1t was then agreed that the United
States, in order to secure the prompt
resumption of labor on the plantations
of the island. with a view Of promot-
ing the speedy revival Of prosperity
and settled conditions, should distrib-
ute about So, 900, 600 among the 80, 900
said to he still under arms, equal to
500 a man
Gomez alleges that his army consists
of 40, 900 men and he insists that most
of them shall be paid for three years
service at the rates that prevailed in
the United States army.
He fixes the date of the Cuban dec
laration of independence, February "a,
1895, as the beginning OF the period
from which himself and forces are to
be remunerated and for himself, with
the rank Of lieutenant general, he will
be satisfied with $11, Geo annually, the
American rate for that grade. Gomez
has also about twenty major generals
for each of whom he wants 81, 500 an
nualiy, and his "army" is equipped
with nearly 200 brigadier generals.
each rated, according to the United
States army pay table at S., 500 an
nually.
This aggregates the nice little sum Of
So, 7S3, 900 for generals alone; then
there are colonies, lieutenant colonies
and majors whose numbers run into
the thousands. The privates do not
amount to much for they are compare
lively few, but each Of them will re-
quire $648 and the army paymasters
who figured out the total have reported
that over $57, 600, 600 will be required
to crafty the demands Gomez has
made. which is an average of $1,455 a
man.
It is to meet their demands and
show Gomez their absurdity that Con.
zalo Quesada, who for the last three
years has been the representative of the
Cubans in Washington, started fol
Cuba last week after reaching a thor
ough understanding with the war de-
partment authorities. Robert P. Por'
ter went along with Mr.. Quesada al
the official representative Of the United
States in the matter.

why 1900 I. Not . Leap Year.

The year 1900 will not be counted
among the leap years. The year is 365
days, 5 hours and 40 minutes long: IL
minutes are taken every year to make
the year 1865 IA hours long. and every
fourth year we have an extra day.
This was julius Caesars arrange
ment. Where do those eleven minutes
come from? They. come from the fu-
ture, and are paid by emitting a leap
year every 100 years. But if leap year
Is omitted regularly every Tooth year.
In the course Of 400 years 1t is found
that the eleven minutes taken each
year will not only have been paid back,
but whole day will have been given
up.
So Pope Gregory Ill, who improved
on Caesars calendar In 1852, decreed
that every centurial year divisible by
four should be leap year. after all. So
we borrow eleven minutes every year,
more than paying our borrowings back
by omitting three leap years In three
centurial years, and square matters by
having leap year In the fourth centu-
rial year. Pope Gregory's arrangement
is so exact, and the borrowing and pay
ing back balance So closely, that we
borrow more than we pay back to the
extent Of only one day in 1856 years.

NORTHERN MOVE.
Gen. LawtOn's Forces Will Join in
the Chase After ARuinnIdO.

Manila, April 1S.-Gen. LawtOn is re-
turning with his command to Manila,
by order OF Gen. Otis, after evacuat-
ing the towns Of Paete, Longos, Lumb-
ban. Pa Casajan and Santa Cruz, from
which the rebels had been driven. Gen.
Lawton's troops are needed in the
movement north Of Manila and Lagu-
ma de Bay will be left to the insurgents
until the rainy season, when the wa
ter will be higher, thus enabling the
Amy gunboats to get into the rivers.
The launches captured from the in
surgents are to be returned to their
former owners In Manila. Gen. Law
ton said In an interview
with the forces l have there Is no
doubt | could go through the whole
island, but If government Is to be
established 1t would be necessary to

Manila, April 1G. Gen. Lawton is
marching north along the roads be-
tween the hills and the lake with the
gunhoats Napidan and Laguna de Bay
abreast Of his troops. The enemy Is
retreating northward.
On Wednesday the troops crossed
the Paghanjan and concentrated at
Lambun, at the mouth Of the river.
After leaving two companies OF the
Fourteenth regiment to guard the en-
trance of the river the troops marched
to Longas and found 1t deserted Fur
niture, which had been dropped in the
flight of the natives, was scattered
along the trails leading into the hills.
Maj. Weisenberger's sharpshooters
were sent toward Pactos Ancontenca
in the afternoon. They ran upon a
nest OF rebels In some thick bushes.
Five men Of the North Dakota regi.
ment We're killed and two were wound
ed, two OF the former dying after hav-
ing been brought TO Longas church,
where Father McKinnon administered
the sacrament to them. The main
body Of the American troops while at
dinner at Longas heard the firing and
advanced to the support of the sharp
shooters. A scout from a hill saw the
little fight and many Of the rebels run
ming into the hill. The Laguna de
Bay, at the beginning of the fight,
shelled the hills, making them too hot
for the enemy. The Americans entered
San Antonio at sunset without meeting
with resistance. Twenty unarmed
prisoners, bearing copies Of the United
States Philippine commission procla-
nation, which they had somehow Sc
cured, were afterward released and
sent outside our lines with bundles Of
the proclamation to distribute.
The Fourth cavalry is guarding
Santa Cruz. Two companies OF the
Fourteenth regiment are at the mouth
of the river; two are at Pasig and two
at Lambun and one Of the Fourteenth
regiment and four Of the North Dakota
regiment are at San Antonio. The re-
mainder Of the troops are at Longas.
Gen. Lawton is on board the Laguna
de Bay, off San Antonio. The country
Just occupied Is thickly settled and
produces much fruit. McKenna, OF
the signal corps, Is indefatigible. He
ran a wire through the hostile country
without having a guard with him.

them up. When they CAME back they
were asked by their commanding Off

said they plnated every one Of them
and that they would like to have about
thirty more to do the same way with.
There has not been anything said or

Washington, April 1S.-Having ac-

der his command are now returning TO
Manila, where they will be available
naldo's new capital.
When the dispatch announcing the
recall of Gen. Lawton was shown to
Gen. Schwan, acting adjutant general,
he said 1t was in accordance with the
understanding of the war department
as TO the purpose of Gen. Lawtons
campaign.
Gen. Otis sent this expedition to
Southern LuZOn,' he continued, ''for
the purpose Of destroying any insurg-
ent forces that might be found there.
to make careful reconnaissance Of
the territory and to spread broadcast
the recent proclamation of the Philip
pines commission setting forth the pur
poses of this government with respect
to the islands.
"Cen. Otis has not communicated his
plans TO the department, the matter
being left entirely to his discretion.
The insurgent leader has established
his headquarters at San Fernando, to
the northwest of Malolos. and | sup
pose Gen. Otis contemplates a move
ment against that city. Gen. Lawton
only had 1900 men under his COM
mand and it was, of course, impossible
for him to divide his force by station
ing detachments in every village cap
tured. His command would be useful,
however, in assisting in the advance
on San Fernando or in reinforcing the
line about the city of Manila. 1t Is
possible that when the lake rises Gen.
Otis will resume his campaign in the
southern part of the island.
