MUST MAKE A STRIKE
General Otis Will Be Obliged to
Take the Offensive.
HIS POSITION UNTENABLE
Unless He Drives the Insurgents Beyond
the Range of Activity-Must
Move Before the Rainy
Season.

Washington. Feb. 1S.-The reports Of
skirmishes and the stories of frequent
firing by concealed natives upon the
American outposts have conveyed the
impression to the officials here that
General Otis is being rapidly brought
to pass where he must assume a more
offensive campaign. Although no in
Structions have yet been sent to him,
it is assumed that he will feel justified
soon i'll doing this to prevent the de-
| noralization of his troops and also to
make his position tenabe in the APP
preaching wet season. The nature of
the country around Manila favors the
tactics the natives seem to have adopt
ed after learning that they could not
| face the American soldiers in the open
| field and it doubtless will be General
! Otis task, just as soon as his reinforce
ments reach him, to clear them away.
| Half dozen natives concealed in the
| jungle and firing at long range at inter
| walls could make life unbearable for a
| whole company of regular troops until
they We're dislodged. Military officers
i who have had experience in this kind
of fighting say that men become pan cky
and lose their nerve under this treat
ment.
| That is, however what they must ex-
pect, occupying the OutpoStS and
trenches. miles outside of Manila during
the rainy season protecting the water
works and strategic points, unless a de-
termined effort is made before the coun-
try becomes impossible owing to the
rains to carry the war straight into the
interior and chase Agulnaldo's men be-
yOnd the range of activity. i Is esti-
mated that at the rate of progress now
making by the transport Grant the | 800
troops on that ship will land at Manila
about March 4. A couple of weeks later
the Sherman viii arrive at the same
place with a similar number of troops.
and two weeks after that the Sheridan
is due with the troops now embarking
at New York. Before the last of these
troops reach Manila the dry season will
have gotten we'll toward an end and
only few weeks will be left for active
operations, so there is need for steady
work in the preparation at all points in
| order to assure, a fairly comfortable
summer for Our troops. A consideration
that fayors a termination of the strug-
gle at an early date is that the latest

gents are becoming short of ammuni-

Luzon they may be brought to terms
on this account as much as from any
other.

any preparation. I do not claim any
more credit than is due many others
for my services in connection with the
locating of this institution in Mis-
soula When I was honored (perhaps
beyond my deserts) by the people of
Missoula county by an election to the
state senate one of the duties devolving
upon me was to secure, if possible, this
end. No more credit is due to me than
is due to any man who uses his best
efforts to perform his duty. The same
credit is due to all those men from Mis-
Soula who went over and worked so
hard for the passage of the university
bill or to those members of the legis-
lature who stood with me in this mat
ter.
Il thought then, as l think now, that
the state university is of greater benefit
to you than the state capitol would be.
Its location here means that in a few
years you will have 1000 students here
and there will be in your city a number
of cultured homes that will make this
the social center of the state. Time
will substantiate the claims that have
made as to the Importance of this uni
versity in its relation to the state and to
this city. 1t was six years ago yester-
day that I saw Ex-Governor Richards,
then governor of Montana, affix his sig
nature to the university bill. The chief
purpose of my visit here to-day is to

Special Dispatch to the Standard
Missoula, Feb. 1S.-The state univer-
sity buildings are now in possession of
the college faculty which to-day
through formal and impressive cere-
monies, became custodians of the ele-
giant structures which hereafter are to
be utilized for the purposes to which
they were dedicated. The exercises
throughout We're carried out to the let
ter, and Notwithstanding the short time
allotted for the purpose the ceremony
as to detail at least was as complete
as the management could desire. At
noon arrived from Helena the special
train conveying the members of the
legislature and their several friends to
the number of about $50. The party
was escorted to the various hotels,
where luncheon was served, after
which all repaired to the university,
where the exercises were held. The
people of Missoula had preceded them,
however, and when the visitors ar
rived they found an immense throng
there to welcome them. The university
students and professors displaying the
college colors and emitting the varsity
yells, welcomed the guests and aided

TALKED TOO MUCH.
Chief Justice Chambers Letter Has Given
Much Annoyance.

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 say there is really not much of
danger in the situation if sensible coun-
sells prevail and subordinate officials
refrain from oVerzealous acts and
words and letters Although no Off
cial notice is expected to be taken of
the epistle written by Chief Justice
Chambers to his brother in this coun-
try, criticising the Germans freely, it
is fact that he has thereby given
annoyance to all parties To correct
any lingering apprehension that the ar
rival of the United steamship Phila-
delphia at Apia will make a coup and
the forcible restoration of Malietoa to
the throne, it may be stated on au-
thority that nothing of the kind is ex-
pected to result.

will above congress? Yes they were
quite frank. 1t was to be expected that
de Beaurepaire. that mailman and stO-
ry-teller, would rake up some falsehood
against Loubet.
Sure enough, he published this morn
ing Panama story against Loubet. if
possible, more empty than his charges
against the court of cessation. He
showed how little he himself believed
in his own 'tittle-tattle by admitting
that he doubted not Loubet's upright
ness, adding in a peculiar dishonest
way insinuations against M. Loubet too
fatuous for contradiction.
The Libre Parole branded him this
morning as Panama head Dreyfusite
candidate and had the effrontery to
remark that he was supported as such
by Reinach. Zadac, Kahn, chief rabbi of
France, and by Dreyfus himself
Premier Dupuy replied to the nation

ordering the troops in the barracks to
have their arms stacked in readiness
for every emergency. NJ. Loubet grant
ed me an interview tonight, in the
course of which he said:
L owe everything to the republican
majority. France and the republic are
inseparable. All anti-republican opn-
ions are free unless leading to acts
against the republic. The allies must
be judged by their acts. not by their
words. I shall govern in republican
sense only.

litical career that l am neither a place

Elysee is post of duty. | speak the
truth in declaring that never was
ambitious to go there. Our quiet life
is ended
Premier Dupuy might have been more
prompt in maintaining order. as he
never failed to do while NJ Faure was
president. If Dupuy loyalty supports
the new president, predictions of the
pessimists that Leubet will meet the
fate of CasimirPerier will be unfound-
ed. The present agitation is entirely
artificial. The nationalist papers this
evening declare war to the knife on
Loubet. vowing they will never rest
until they have expelled him from the
Elysee. Jules Lemaitre, founder of the
League of the French Motherland
says he will try to get arrested for in
sulting NJ. Loubet, as. he intends to
do.

A HoRRIRl E REVENGE.
A Wife Disfgureu Her Husband With
CarbOlic Acid.


San Francisco, Feb 1S-An angry
wife, jealous of the attentions her
husband paid to other women. visited
horrible revenge on her sleeping
spouse to-day. She procured a bottle
of carbolic acid and poured it over his
face and eyes while he was asleep, and
unless providence is kind to John Mont
gomery the husband will not look upon
the fair sex again. His face is fright
fully burned and the eyesight will in
all probability be completely destroyed.
After doing the grewsome work the
woman poured the remaining contents
of the bottle down her own throat, but
there was. not enough of the fiery liquid
left to kill her Yesterday Mrs. Mont
gomery found her spouse in the COM
pany of the daughter of a saloonkeeper
and a scene followed. but later par
tial reconciliation was effected, but the
injustice ranked the woman so great
ly that she resolved to kill her hus-
band or disfigure him. No complaint
has been filed against the wife and she
may escape punishment for her crime.

Rebels Concentrating.

Manila. Feb. Is. 5:33 p. m.-The heat
is very oppressive and the troops, espe-
cally those who are compelled to work
in the open, have been affected. 1t will
probably be warmer from now until the

The rebels have been concentrating
south of Pasig river in front of Briga-
dior General Ovenshne's lines, on the
right. all day long. The country in the
vicinity is a particularly thick jungle
extending for miles. Scouts report the
rebels are apparently coming from La

It was somewhat late when the ex-
ercises began, which necessitated the
curtailing of addresses, some of which
had undergone elaborate preparations,
and where extended remarks had been
intended brief substitutions instead
were resorted to. Rev. McAllister of
the M. E. church fervently and impress
sively delivered the invocation, which
was followed with beautiful and ap-
propriate song by Miss Mary Dow.
Following this came Hon. Joseph K.

sented the buildings to the state board
of education. Beautifully responsive

cred the keys of the several structures

accepting them DIR. Craig, president of
the university, dwelt at length upon
happy response and address of accept
ance, the gentleman being listened to
attentively throughout the discourse.
This number on the programme was
followed by a pretty vocal selection
rendered by Miss Grace Herndon,
which ELECTED considerable applause.
Following the singer came Hon. f. d.

and whose appearance was the signal
for tumultuous applause. Mr.. Mats

Big Log Raft was not Found.

The Czarina, which had in tow the
big log raft, is on the Sound again
and from the officers it is learned that
the report sent out that the Czarina
had succeeded in picking up the raft
which lost off Cape Mendocino, is IN
true. The big raft of 1900 piles is
floating somewhere in the Pacific. a
menace to all navigation.
After losing her tow the Czarina put
in to San Francisco, and afterwards
went out with the tugs Sea Queen and
and Rescue to look for the raft. The
three vessels searched for for eight days
without getting sight OF it. The Res
cue picked up some barges and towed
them in, which gave rise to the report
sent out, that the log raft had been
found.
Vessels coming up from the South
the last few days report passing
through number of loose logs, so it
is quite certain the raft has broken up,
and it is probable that serious conse-
.quences will follow should any vessel
run into it.-Ledger
