Bellamy storer Received by the Spanish
Queen Regent.

Madrid, June 1s.-The newely APP.
pointed minister to Spain, Mr.. Bellamy
Storer, was received in formal audi
ence by the queen regent Friday. There
were no speeches; only few cordial
phrases were exchanged.
Two state carriages from the royal
stables conveyed Mr.. Storer from the
Hotel de Rome to the palace and took
him back to the hotel after the audi
ence. Premier Silvela presented Mr..
Storer to her majesty.
There were no crowds about the

unannounced in order to avoid disa-
agreeable incidents. The fact that
there were no speeches is not surpris-

made in the case of ambassadors.
Nevertheless, the queen regent was
very amiable and complimentary to-
wards Mr.. Storer, and inquired cordi-
ally concerning the health of President

MET A WARM RECEPTION.


Washington, June 1s.-The follow
ing advices have been received from
Manila under date of June 16:
After cutting the railroad and tele-
graph at Apalit, seven miles south, for
the purpose of severing connection,
the rebels attacked General MacAr-
thurs lines at San Fernando at 4:30
this morning. They met with an I'M
expectedly warm reception and were
repulsed with a loss of seventy We
killed, thirty prisoners and many
wounded.
The rebel forces, estimated to have
numbered 5000 men, advanced steadily
from the jungle north of the city and
then divided, with the evident purpose
of surrounding the Americans. The
outposts of the Iowa regiment discov-
cred the enemy, and retired to their
lines, where the entire division await
ed in an intrenched position.
The Kansas and Iowa regiments re-
ceived the first shock of the attack.
Reserving their fire until the enemy
was within six hundred yards, the
first vollev of the Americans hit the
rebels, who returned the fire wildly,
the rest of their line failing to advance.
The Americans, who thoroughly en-
joyed the novelty of the situation Of
awaiting an attack, sailed forth, and
the insurgents thereupon turned and
fed into the jungle. Our loss was
fourteen men wounded, and the major
ity of them are only slightly hurt.
General Funston's brigade of Kan
sas and Mon tanas, and General Hale's
brigade, the seventeenth regiment and
the Iowa regiment, constituted the
force engaged.
Aguinaldo is reported to have per-
sonally conducted the attack, aud
preparations were made for several
days to bring forward troops from
Candaba, and others from Dagupan
were transported by rail.

CANADA'S ULTIMATUM.
Declares That England Must Take Sides
on the boundary Question.


ON the boundary Question.
New York, June 2i.-Canada has
served notice on England that she
must choose between the United States
and the North American dominion in
the settlement of the Alaska boundary
question. 1t is stated on the highest
authority that this statement repre-
scnts accurately the conditions sub
United TO England. which has delayed
the negotiations between Am bassador
Choate and Lord Salisbury in the pro-
vlsional line OF the modus vivendi.
The position Of Canada is known
here officially. The official to whom il
in known feels authorized in saying
that there are only two ways out of
the difficulty, first, thas Canada will
voluntarily recede from her demands
for Pacific tidewater port; or, second,
that the United States shall surrender
the principal laid down by Secretary
Hay, In his tentative boundary line,
that Americans will not grant tempo
rarily or otherwise any port facilities
to the Canadians. That Canada will
yield is considered by the state depart
ment officials who have discussed the
new and acute phases of the situation,
as improbable.

Commissioners is well pleased with the
work of A. " La Mott, one of it's dep
utes in charge Of the fish hatchery near
Ukiah, who is breaking up a gang of deer
killers in that section of the State. For
years it has been the habit of a number
of unprincipled fellows to begin the
slaughter of deer before the opening of
the season. which begins on July Is and
lasts until October Is. Mr.. La Mott in
formed the Commissioners that when
these parties started out this year he
would make things interesting for them,
and the first move to this end was the
appointment of a Game Warden.
Last week the slaughter began and the
first arrest by the Warden took place on
the 18th inst. The culprit was fined $50
for having deer meat in his possession
Two days later two more of the same kind
of lawbreakers were gathered in for hay

sion, and they were fined $40 each. On
Wednesday Mr.. La Mott sent the follow

girl, In company with two COMPANIONS

and as the vehicle rounded a bend in the
road she was showered with sparks blown
from Richardson's pipe by a gust Of wind
The sparks were brushed from her cloth
ing. but little later one of her plav
mates detected the odor of burning cloth.
A search failed to find any clothing ig-
nited, but In few minutes the child's
dress burst into flames.
Richardson showed presence of mind
enough to stop the horses as soon as
the child screamed, grab a laprobe and
wrap her in 1t, but he was handicapped
by her frantic struggles. Before the
flames enveloping the little one were ex
tinguished she was frightfulIv burned
