WAS SINKING.
The Bulgaria Signalled for
Assistance.

London, Feb. 18.-The British steam
err Koordistan, Capt. Simpson, from Sa
vannah for Bremen, reports that on
Feb. 5, in latitude Al and longitude A.
she sighted the Hamburg American line
steamer Bulgaria, which was signaling
that she was in want Of Immediate as
sistance and sinking. The Koordis-
tan could give no assistance, however,
owing to the tempestuous weather. The
British oil tank steamer Weehawken
and another steamer were standing by
at the time.
The steering gear of the latter was
broken and her rudder was beating
violently from side to side. The Bull
garia also had heavy list to port. Her
port docks had been carried away. The
beats of the Koordistan vainly at
tempted to reach the Bulgaria, but were
unable to do 50, owing to the
heavy weather prevailing. The Koor-
distan stood by the disabled steamer for
2S hours, but lost sight of her during
q hurricane, which was accompanied by
hail on Feb. 6. IL was evident to those
on board the Koordistan that the ma
chnery of the Bulgaria was disabled
but they add that everything was quiet
on board of her and there was no panic
although every one wore a life belt.

SAMOAN COMPLICATIONS.
No Danger in Situation if Sensible coun
sells Prevail.

WASHINGTON, Feb 1S.-The Samoan
complications are about to pass into the
safe lines of diplomatic treatment, in
the Judgment of the officials here, who
saw there is really not much danger in
the situation if sensible counsels pre-
vail. and subordinate officials refrain
from over-zealous acts and words and
letters. Although no official notice is
exnected to be taken of the epistle
written by Chief Justice Chambers to
his brother in this country, criticizing
the Germans freely, it is fact that he
has thereby given annoyance to all
PARTIES. To correct any lingering appre-
hension that the arrival of the U. S. S.
PHILADELPHIA at Apia will mark a coup,
and the forcible restoration of Malietoa
to the throne it may be stated on au-
tho1'ty that nothing of he kind is eX-
pected to result.
Admiral Kautz, who sailed on the
flagship, has the reputation of being
one of the coolest, clearest headed men
in the United States navy. He has not
been told to upset the government the
moment he arrives, but simply to con-
suit with the three consuls, as the
treaty binds the commanders of wal
vessels to protect all interests and tc
take such action only as in their judg-
ment may be necessary The probable
ity is that beyond preserving the peace
he will take no action at all, but will al
low the succession to the throne to be
settled by the diplomatic agencies OF
the three governments parties to the
Berlin treaty.

suits to the democratic party In COL

In states where it was stated, whether
truly or not, that there was an lnten-

Affairs Reaching a
Crisis in Manila.
AMBUSH WARFARE.
Rebel Outposts a Menace
to American Troops.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The adjutant
general received a cablegram from Gen.
Otis today, giving the casualties in
skirmishes on Tariquina road, north
of the pumping station, yesterday.
There were' no deaths, buc a private
of the First Nebraska died from a
wound.
The reports of such skirmishes as
those noted above, and the stories of
frequent firing by concealed natives
upon the American outposts, have con-
veyed the impression to the officials
here that Gen, Otis is being rapidly
brought to a pass where must assume
a most vigorous offensive campaign.
Although no instructions have yet
been sent him, it is assumed that he
will feel justified soon in doing this
to prevent the Generalization of his
troops and also to make his position
tenable in the approaching wet sea-
son. The nature of the country around
Manila favors the tactics the insur-
gents seem to have adopted after learn
ing that they could hot face the Amer
lean soldiers in the open field. and it
doubtless will be Gen. Otis task, just
as soon as his reinforcements reach
him to clear them away. Half dozen
natives concealed in the jungle and fir
ing at long range ut intervals could
make it unbearable for a whole com
pany of regular troops until they were
dislodged.
Military officers who have had expert
ence in this kind of fighting say thai
men become panicky and lose theil
nerve under this treatment.
That, however, is what they mus
expect occupying the outposts ant
trenches miles outside of Manila during
the rainy season, protecting the watel
works and strategic points, unless {
determined effort is made before tn
country becomes impossible owing t
| the rains, to carry the war straight in
to the interior and chase Aguinaldo'
men beyond the range of activity. ]
| is estimated that at the rate of prog
ress now making by the transpor
Grant, the 1900 troops on that shi
will land at Manila about March 4. !
couple of weeks later the Sherman vii
arrive at the same. place, with a mum
Der of troops, and two weeks after tina
the Sheridan is due with the troop
now embarlling at New York. A con
sideration that favors a termination q
the struggle at an early date is tn
fact that the latest reports rather indi
cate that the insurgents are becomin
short of ammunition and with re
doubled vigilance on the part of tn
naval forces around Luzon they may b
brought to terms on this account a
much as from any other.

PAVONIA SAFE.
Steamer Reaches Azores
After Terrible Hardship.

London, Feb. 18.-The Cunard steam
er Pavonia, which sailed from Queens
town for Boston on Jan. &c, and which
was sighted on Feb. 5, in a disabled
condition arrived at the Azores today,
In tow of the British steamer Wolvis-
ton, Capt. Snowden, from Baltimore
for Copenhagen.
On Jan. 80 she was struck by hur-
ricane and lay in the trough of the
sea for 20 hours on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, Feb. l. she steamed
slowly but on Thursday she was struck
by a second hurricane and lay to all
day On Friday, Feb. 3, at $3.50 p M,
her engines stopped, causing the ship TO
labor heavily in the seas, which broke
clear over her continually.
On Saturday, Feb. 4, she fired distress
signals to the steamer Colorado, which
began towing her Sunday morning; but
some of her rigging was carried away
Immediately by the parting of the cable;
The Colorado signalled that she could
not tow the Pavonia, but stood by until
the morning of the 9Th, when she lost
the Pavonia in a heavy gale.
On Monday and Tuesday the PavQnia
| was in a desperate condition. All her
boilers were adrift and rolling in hel
hull, and there was very little hope OF
saving the ship. The crew worked three
days and nights without leaving the
| hold. to secure the boilers which ha(
broken off the seacocks, letting in thu
water.
On Wednesday the Sth, the steame
drifted before the gale. On Thursda!
she sighted the steamer Horatio, whicl
refused to render her assistance, AM
on Friday she sighted the steame
Wolviston, which took her in tow
At II D. m. the cable parted. but tn
4 Wolvston stood by all day Saturday
but lost the Pavonia on Sunday in
terrible gale. On Monday the Wolvis
ton again found the disabled steame
and stood by her until Tuesday, Fet
IA, when cables were again made fas
and the Pavonia was towed here with
out further accident.
There was no panic aboard, althoug
the passengers gave up hope for tw
days, during which it was thought tn
boilers would surely sink the shiI

Thursday night, says the correspondent
of the Acantha
AS engine 305 was coming down the
heavy grade at that place it struck a
man by the name Of Ed Erickson, and
literally ground him to pieces. There
was only a small portion of his skull
found. his arm and legs were complete
ly severed from his body, no part of
the face was left and the entrails were
scattered along the track for half a
mile. Judge Dawes was notified and
went to the scene Of the accident with
Deputy Sheriff Hughes. With the as
sistance of the section men, they gath
cred up a shoe box full of fragments
of human flesh, which was brought to
Shelby and an inquest was held befr e
Judge Dawes, acting coroner. The YER
dict of the jury was that the deceased
came to his death by his own careless
ness. There was q suspicion of foul
play at first, but after the evidence was
given it was conclusive that not par
ticle OF the testimony tended to point
toward any other cause than that CIV

WESTERN MONTANA NEWS
A Triumphant Record.

Missoula, Nov. 27.-It is seldom that
comedy awakens 50 much real enthusi-
asm and interest as Mile. Fiji" which
comes to the Union opera house on
Tuesday night, with a triumphant rec
ord of nearly 200 nights in New York.
Fiji is very dainty and charming
little play, most deftly constructed and
with a theme that is as genuinely droll
as it is original. The game of cross pur-
poses which arises from the attempt of
young couple to secure bogus d.
vorce for the purpose of controlling a
marriage settlement is founded on hon
est. wholesome fun that is always kept
within bounds. The acting is as ad-
mirable as the plot, introducing as it
does. compact little company Of peo-
PIE. every one of whom has gained in
dividual distinction in legitimate work.
MISS Pearl Evelyn, as the sweet little
wife of a once rallish young French
vicon1te, has beauty, art temperament
and her simplicity of method is very
delightful. Her personal success has
been most emphatic. Edward Abeles is
frank boyisil and magnetic as the
young husband: Miss Maud Granger
has never revealed her splendid art to
greater advantage than as a breezy,
busting Boston widow. Dore Davidson,
as Mendoza, the money lender, is rare
character study. Miss Mamie s1.lroy,. in
the title role, IS due to great credit, and
others have achieved great personal
successes. There's no Indifferent acting
in Eff, and it is performance to be
fully enjoyed in every respect

great

Great Falls, Nov. PA great
amount of work has been done at the
Broadwater mine since the assumption
of the management of Charles S. Glib
son. The works have been thoroughly
cleaned and retimbered and new tracks
laid wherever required, until to-day it
is one of the eleanest and easiest work
ed mines in the state, says the Nei-
hart Herald 1t is being shaped to
produce ore on a large scale While
the preliminaries have been attended
to, Mr.. Gibson has been a tireess
worker, giving his personal supervi-
sion to every department. 1t was
great undertaking, as the mine had
certainly gone into state of Sorry d-
lapidation. But the work is so we'll
done that this month will see IL cars
OF ore shipped and future months will
largely swell this figure. There are
now go 1easers at work under the pres
ent management, and there is said to
be room for score or so more.
The Broad is progressing finely at
present, and as an industrial factor.
it is one OF, the best things the town
has seen, returning moro cash to the
pockets of the workers than any con-
Germ in the county, man for man.
1t is a great boon to the miner who
happens to be out of job, and the
people of Neihart certainly appreciate
the fact

day night by Officer Larson, who placed
them in the city Jail over night. One of
the men gave his name as William Kee-

to pass sentence held his head in his

pretty badly cut up. He did not know
who his assailant was, but knew that
scme one had struck him. The third is

Eoehane. He says that he was employed
by some one to herd beef cattle and
was driving them down from the Black
foot. He got to town at midnight ana

He left his horse at a stable, but could
not remember which one. After listen

The vein is about nine feet wide, and
the gems are quite easily distributed

Although nothing is yet done with this
