LOOKING BACKWARD.

A glance at the newspapers of
year ago today impresses one pro-
foundly with the magnitude and
amount of history that has been
crowded into the twelve months be-
tween them ard now. A year ago
yesterday the greater portion of the
world laughed at the prospect of war
between Spain and the United States.
While the situation was grave one
there appeared to be much more
reason to believe that war would re-
suit in Asia between the great Euro
pean nations than that Spain and the
United States would engage in hostil
tiles. But the situation in Asia is
much the same as it was then, so far
as the nations of Europe are con-
cerned, and the Hispano-American
war has been fought and won and
most of the talking about it is over.
A year ago this week Admiral
Sicard was assembling his fleet at
Key West. The Name, Montgomery,
Detroit and two torpedo boats were
already there and to join them came
the Indiana, Massachusetts,, Iowa and
Texas. A year ago tomorrow it was
decided by the president and cabinet
to send the Maine to Havana ssto re-
sumo our pleasant naval relations
with Spain" as Assistant Secretary
Day told the press. Until February
18th events moved slowly, but be-
ginning that night when the Maine
was blown up in the harbor Of
Havana they went forward with ex.
ceeding swiftness.
Locally, also, there has been con-
siderable history making. A yea
ago republic camp was new and wa
attracting comparatively little atten-
tion. The mines of KootenaY wer,
the objects of absorbing interest il
Spokane mining circles. A year agC
the era of railroad building was jus
commencing, the contract havin9
been let year ago this week for tn,
construction of the Lewiston exten
tion of the Northern Pacific railway
1t has been a wonderful year il
the history OF the world and partic
ularly gratifying one in the Inlant
Empire.-Spokesman Review.

Representative Stillman' bill legal
izing imperfect divorces should be
killed with unanimous vote. The
divorce laws of Oregon are too lax,
as they are, without granting i'm
munity to such people as will secure
decree one day and wed another
man or woman the next, figuratively
speaking. The great difficulty in
Oregon is that there are too many
nursery marriages, between girls of
fifteen and sixteen years old and
boys of twenty years, none of whom
have had any experience in life, and
have not the remotest conception. of
the grave responsibility the marriage
state carries with it. And it is not a
random guess, either, when we say
that at least 75 per cent of these mar
riages at one time or another, but
usually very early, wind up in the
divorce court.-Telegram

THREE FIRES IN ANSONIA.
Two Firemen Hurt-9s In Cash Lost
by One Man.

Ansonia, Feb. 5.-The volunteer fire.
men of Ansonia were kept exceedingly
busy last night and early this morning
in responding to three alarms in differ
ent sections of the city. While two Of
the fires were trifling, the last one which
took place at $50 this morning caused a
loss of $4,000. The building was a
handsome brick structure on Main street
owned jointly by Charles Durant and
the estate of George o. Schneider. It
was occupied by a bakery, a pool and
and living apartments in the upper
stories. There were several thrilling es-
capes from the upper stories, as most Of
the tenants We're asleep when the fire
broke out and several persons were car
ried by the firemen from the burning
building in their night clothes. There
We're no casualties, however.

ground, as the force of water was insult

OFFICI1L DISP1CH TO MADRID
FROM GEN. RIOS.
The "Insurgents Violently Attacked
and Captured Almost tho Whole of the
Exterior American Lnco-The A. Ameri-
can Warships Destroyed and Burned
Several Towns.


Madrid, Feb. 5.-Intense excitement
was caused here by the receipt this eve
ming of the following official dispatch
from General Rios, the Spanish COM
mander in the Philippines:
"The insurgents have violently at
tackled and captured almost the whole
of the exterior American line. The
Americans offered vigorous defense at
the exterior barriers, using their artil-
lery as we'll as the squadron. The war;
ships destroyed and burned Caloacan,
Paco and several towns in the neigh
borhood Both sides suffered material
ly. Very sharp firing continues. The
Spanish troops have been confined to
quarters, but a sergeant has been
wounded by a stray bullet.
(Signed) "Rios"
The popular sympathies here are on
the side of Aguiraldo, but thinking peo-
pie are anxious regarding the conse-
quences of the fighting and especially
on account of Spanish prisoners still in
the hands of the insurgents.

SAMPSON ON THE SITU1TION.
Says American Forces VIII Very Quick
ly Settle Trouble.

Boston, Feb. 5.-Rear Admiral Samp-
son arrived this morning from New
York for four days visit in and about
Boston. On learning of the fighting at
Manila he said: ''The trouble will not
last long; the American forces will very
quickly settle it. The Filipinos have
brought their punishment upon them
selves and no blame can be attached to
the Americans, if the cable reports are
true. The presidents hands have been
tied in the past by the fact that the
peace treaty is pending, and he could do
nothing but await the action of con-
gress in determining the relationship of
the parties concerned in the Philippine
situation The Fflipinos have taken it
upon themselves to begin hostilities,
taking the consequences of future re-
suits upon their own shoulders. The
Americans are free to go ahead and
punish the offending parties. Such an
attack as has been described is equiv
alent to a declaration of war Spain
will not interfere in case of trouble be-
tween the Filipinos and the United
States Spain has already had all the
fighting she wants.

LITE NEWS FROM M.fNILA.
HostiIities Not Resumed Sunday Night
-Filipinos' Possible Tactics.

Manila, Monday, Feb. Go a. m.-The
Filipinos have apparently reached the
conclusion that the Americans mean
business, now that the barriers are re-
moved, as there were no further hostili-
ties last night and no attempt was made
to recover last ground. 1t is possible,
however, that they are following the
tactics they employed against the Span
iards and will merely lie off a few days
to recuperate their forces before return
ing to the attack. 1t is impossible to
ascertain as yet how the news have
been received at Malalos, the seat of
the insurgent government, but the Fill
pinos in Manila express the opinion that
the movement for independence has re-
ceived it's death blow and that annexa-
ton will soon be welcomed generally.

4 TERIT1BLE SLAUGHTER.
The Filipinos Killed Reported as
Amounting to Thousands.

Amounting to Thousands.
London, Feb 6.--The Morning Post
after an account of the fighting from
earlier dispatches, says: In a subse-
quent telegram the following statements
are made: Last nights (Saturday) and
to-day's (Sunday) engagements have
proved vertable slaughter for the Fill
ipinos, their killed being reported as
amounting to thousands. The Ameri-
can forces could scarcely have been bet
ter disposed. 1t is now known that the
attack was fully expected and that
every preparation had been made as to
contingency. The fire slackened at noon
to-day, the enemy being apparently de-
moralized. The American troops, how
ever, are fully equipped to meet a pos
sible attack tonight. Aguinaldo's pri-
vate secretary has been arrested as a
spy In Manila. Perfect qliet now. reigns
in the city. More than hundred
wounded Filipinos taken from the
trenches are being cared for in the
American hospitals.

VIII OF COLONEL sIMoNs.
Widow and Son Have Reached n,
Agreement Estnt of 5000. 600

Norwich, Conn, Feb. 5.-The contest
over the will of the late Colonel Simons.
who at the time of his accidental death.
January 6. was proprietor of the Wau-
regan house, and also boniface of ma
tional reputation, has been settled bv
mutual agreement with John A. Sinons
the son, of Santon, O., and the widow.
the sons stepmother. BY the provisions
of the will the widow was to have the
life use of all the property, while the
son was bequeathed only $1,000. When
the will was offered for probate last
week the son protested and during the
hearing there were five attorneys engag-
ed by both parties. The hearing lasted
but one day when notice was given that
d settlement was effected, but never
theless the counsel was busily engaged
both Friday and Saturday in bringing
about the desired condition. 1t was late
was satisfactorily adjusted, and the
will will be now admitted to probate.
Counsel will not divulge the conditions
under which a settlement was arrived
at. 1t is known, however, that Colonel
SimonS' estate inventoried about $780,
900, and it is believed that the income
will be divided between the widow and
son. The Wauregan house property is
valued at $4,000, and cannot be sold
without permission of the son. The
other matters pertaining to a settle
ment We're of comparatively trifling
nature.

! to them the honest assurance that we
| did not propose to overthrow their new
ly established liberties. I believe the
treaty should be amended at once so as
to give assurance to those people OF our
good faith and thus make them our
friends, even under these trying cir
cumstances. We should even now with
draw our military forces and allow
them TO establish military govern
ment of their own" Senator Pettigrew
said that in his opinion the fighting
would not delay vote on the treaty.
The opponents of the treaty, he said,
had counted thirty-three votes as op-
posed to ratification, but had lost one
Of these, and he could not say whether
the latest news would cause any other
changes.
VIII Make No Difference.
Senator Martin Of Virginia, one of
the opponents of the treaty, said: 1.-The
news from Manila will have no effect
on the treaty No man will change his
mind on account Of what has occurred
there. 1t cannot affect the status in
the senate"
Frye Expected 1t.
Senator Frye, a member of the peace
commission and supporter Of the trea-
ty, said. 'The collision is what I have
been predicting every day since the dis
cussion of the treaty began. The alb
surd compliments that have been heap
ed upon Aguinaldo and the delay in
ratfying the treaty have had the effect
of encouraging him to make an attack
before reinforcements from the United
States could arrive at Manila. If the
treaty had been promptly ratified it Is
my opinion that the Philippine islands
would have been as quiet and peaceful
to-day as are the United States. I had
fully expected that the rejection of the
treaty would be followed by an attack
upon our forces in Manila, and it has
come only few days in advance Of the
time I expected. AS for our status in
the Philippines, we are in Manila and
Manila bay by virtue of the protocol
and underf well established principles
of international law. we have per-
feet right to defend Manila and our
selves if attacked. I said last night in
that 7 expected just such
news as we have received, and it has
come even in advance of the time that I
counted upon"
