REPAIRING THE BIG DAM
It Has Been a Gigantic Task, but
= 1t Is Well Done.
AS STABLE AS POSSIBLE
An Engineering Feat to Accomplish
Which No Expense Has Been Spared.
Power VIII Be Furnished to
Butte Within 80 Days.

The big dam in the Big Hole, three
miles above Divide, is repaired. 1t has
been a. great task-both III original con-
struction and subsequent necessary re-
pairs. The dam was originally built in
the winter of 1867, and in the winter
of 1898 the strain produced by high
water was more than the wall could
withstand and it, or a portion of it,
yielded to the superior force of the
water and slipped down the river about
IA feet. While the dam was moved a
little by the rush of waters, it is true
that for three weeks after which it
had settled in its new position, the
dam carried its burden without weak
ening and the load imposed upon 1t
was probably the heaviest that it will
ever have to carry, as the stage of wat
err was the highest that has been known
in the Big Hole river.
The original design contemplated a
width at the base OF Is feet and the old
dam, as constructed, was Sc feet in
width, while the new dam is 124 feet
wide when measured along the channel
of the river with an apron of 16 feet
in addition over that portion of the
channel where it is possible for an in
crease TO occur. Inc crest line Is ABOUT
SIS feet above low water and the spill
way as overflow will have a width of
200 feet.
In reinforcing the old structure the
company has adopted most liberal
policy. Work was resumed with a con-
fidence of the ample stability of the
structure and ultimate success of the
enterprise. The plant is destined to de-
velop 1880 horse power in units of 200
horse power each, and four double dis
charge Leffel turbine wheels are in
stalled and ready to connect with the
four big generators. These generators
are now on the cars at Divide, together
with other machinery, amounting in
value to about $4,000.
From these generators, once in place,
the current is to be transformed by
step-up transformers to a voltage of
10000 volts and at the service end is
stepped down to the voltage required
for the special service for which it is to
be used. A pole line has already been
constructed from the power station to
Butte, a distance of a fraction over 20

NANCE C'NElL AS CAMILLE.
The Grandest Portrayal of the Character
Ever Seen in Butte.

Nance O'Neil closed her too brief en-
gagement in Butte last night with the
grandest portrayal of the character of
Camille ever witnessed in this city. 1t is
a pity as much cannot be said of the
performance of the play as a whole. Her.
bert Carr, a splendid actor, played Ar
mand in a manner to disarm criticism,
but the remainder of the cast was shame
fully weak. Miss ONeil received a dozen
curtain calls, in which Mr.. Carr shared
At the matinee, "Ingomar" was given, in
which Miss O'Neil played Parthenia- Mr.
Carrs Ingomar, H. A. Viewers Polydor,
and Mrs. McVicker's Actea were all well
rendered.
Miss O'Neil's business during her Butte
engagement was unusual. She opened
Monday night to a poor house, but on
Tuesday night the Grand was pretty well
filed and at the matinee yesterday and
at the concluding performance last night
the house was crowded. When she next
comes to Butte she will remain a week
and the Grand opera house will not be
large enough to hold the crowds that will
want to see her.

A GOOD CAPTURE.
Person Who Burglarzed Roses Pawn
shop in Custody.

Shop IN custody.
The police are satisfied they have
captured one of the burglars who made
a big haul on Roses pawnshop about
three weeks ago. The capture was
made through the Anaconda authori-
ties, who had under suspicion one c..
Payne, whom they suspected of having
had hand in a hold-up last winter.
They at last decided to search Payne's
lodgings, and found in a trunk a large
quantity of miscellaneous goods which
had evidently been stolen. Detective
Murphy was notified and went to Ana
conda to take a look at the goods. He
became satisfied at least a part We're
from the Rose pawnshop. and yester-
day Proprietor Rose went to Anaconda
to see for himself. He identified some
of the property and a warrant was at
once sworn out in Justice Nichols court
for grand larceny, upon which Payne
will be brought back to Butte for trial.
The Anaconda officers made another
capture yesterday of a man wanted in
Butte in Dan LomaX, who is suspected
of having been a party to the robbery
of w. T. McGonigal, who lost $3.50 in
f. P. Carson's saloon Sunday. Lomax
at once left town after the robbery and
was only located in Anaconda yester-
day. A warrant of grand larceny was
sworn out and Lomax will be brought

tween O'Donnell and Miller,

Too much liquor brought consderab BILE
trouble upon Sid Miller a buggy washer
by occupation last evening. Ear,y in the
evening he loaded up and got himself ar
rested for creating a disturbance. He got
out on bonds, and proceeded at once to
Bob Elliotts saloon. at the corner of
Main and Mercury streets, where he met
Jack O'Donnell, who, like himself, had
more than he could carry. Some words
passed between the two and O'Donnell
made the assertion that he could wallop
any man who would work for scab wages
Miller did not believe it, and proceeded tt
demonstrate to O'Donnell that he was
wrong. With the aid of a trusty beer
glass he made a picture OF O'Donneu S
cOuntenance. He concluded the police
would want him, and he went to the sta
ton and gave himself up

TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT.
Mischievous Children Nearly Cause
Serious Trouble.


Serious Trouble.
One would have thought murder or
some other grave crime had been COM
mitted to have seen the crowd that
was attracted by an arrest made by
Police Officer Dave Hastings last even
ing. but it all proved a tempest in a
teapot. 1t appears H. r. Wagner had
been greatly annoyed at his home in
Ohio avenue by children knocking on
the door, throwing dirt against the WIN
dows, etc. Last evening he caught one
of the girls and shook her. 1t CHANGED
that F. E. Mcdonald was the father
of the child and saw the act. He was
up in arms in minute and went after
Wagner. When Wagner saw him draw
a knife he took to his heels and Nc
Donald followed. The chase was kept
up clear 20 Main street, where Wagner
called on Officer Hastings for protec-
ton. Both Were taken to the station
and booked for disturbance. Each fur
nished bonds for his appearance.

Manila, February G--The PHILIPPINES
have apparently reached the conclu-
sion that the Americans mean bust
ness, now that the barriers are re-
moved, as there were no further hos
tllities last night, and no attempt was
made to recover the lost ground. 1t
is possible, however, that they are fol
lowing the tactics they employed
against the Spanish, and will merely
lie off a few days to recuperate their
forces before returning to the attack
1t is impossible to ascertain us yet
how the news has been received at
Malalos, the seat of the insurgent gov
ernment but the PHILIPPINES in Ma
Mia express the opinion that the move
ment for independence has received
it's death blow and that annexation
will soon be welcomed generally.

BATTLE AT MANILA
CLASH CAME AT NIGHT AND
CONTINUED AT INTERVALS.


Manila February G.-The long eX-
pected rupture between the Amer-
cans and Tilipinos has come Mt last.
The former are now engaged in solv-
ing the Philippine problem with the ut
most expedition possible.
The clash came mt $40 Saturday
evening, when three daring Filipinos
darted past the Nebraska regiments
picket ut Santa Mesa, but retired
when challenged They repeated the
experiment without drawing the SEN
try's fire. But the third time Corpo-
raj Greeley challenged the Filipinos
and then fired, killing one of them
and wounding another
Almost Immediately afterward the
Filipnos' line, from Calvocan to San
ia Mesa, commenced n fusilade which
was Intellectual The Nebraska, Mon
tana and North Dakota outposts re
piled vigorously and held their ground
until reinforcements arrived The FIJI
ipinos in the meantime concentrated at
three points, Calvocan, Gagalangin and
Santa Mesa.
At about 1 o'clock the Filipinos open
ed hot fire from all three places sim
ultaneously This was supplemented
by the fire of two siege guns at Balik
Balik and by advancing their sllihmish-
ers at Paco and Pandacan.
The Americans responded with ter
rife fire, but owing to the darkness
they We're unable to determine its eff
feet The Utah light artillery finally
succeeded in sllencing the native bat
terry.
The Third artillery also did good
work on the extreme left, The en-
gagement lasted over an hour.
The United States cruiser Charles
ton and the gunboat Concord, station
ed off Malabona opened fire from
their secondary batteries on the Fill
pinos position at Calvocan and kept
it up vigorously.
At 2.45 there was another fusilade
along the entire line, and the United
States seagoing double turyeted mont
tor Monadnock opened fl on the
enemy from off Malate
With daylight the Americans advanc-
ed. The California and Washington
regiments made a splendid charge and
drove the F'ilipinos from the villages
of Pace and Santa Mesa.
The Nebraska regiment also dstin-
guished itself, capturing several pris-
oners and one howitzer and very
strong position at the reservoir, which
is connected with the water works.
The Kansas and Dakota regiments
compelled the enemy's right flank to re-
tire to Calvocan.
There was intermittent firing at va
rlous points all day long
The losses of the Filipinos can NOT
be estimated at present, but they are
known to be considerable
The American losses are estimated al
20 killed and 125 wounded. The Ygor-
ates, armed with bows and arrows,
made IA very determined stand in the
face of Il hot artillery fire, and left
many men dead on the field.
