A Confidential Inquiry.

Washington. March 13.-The report

animal industry bureau at Chicago tes-
titled before the court Of inquiry Sat
urday he had made in 1894 to the agri-
cultural department regarding allega-
tions of the marketing of condemned
meat that had been taken out of the

Lieutenant Colonel Davis, the recorder
of the court. to-day telegraphed Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wilson. asking him
to forward a copy of the report. and it
was decided to forward the document
Immediately as confidential. All infor-

MARINES FOR CAVlTE.
The Largest Naval Station in the Possess
sion of the United States.


Washington, March 13.-It is said to be
the intention of the navy department to
send 100 marines to Cavite to take care
of the naval stores there. 1t is the pur-
pose to send a. colonel in command of
these men, although until the full regi-
ment is on the scene the marines will be
under the command of Major Bergman
the senior officer of the corps now in the
Philippines. This seems to be a very large
number of marines to station at one navy
yaru, but the expectation is that the Ca
vite station is the largest in the posses
sion of the United States, including about
70 square miles of land, with about 10
miles of water front
On the government lands are many
squatters and some small towns and a
large number of men will be required to
thoroughly police this territory. The work
of repairing three Spanish gunboats raised
in Manila bay Is reported to be progress
ing rapidly at Hong Kong under the di-
recton of Constructor I<apps and Assist
ant Constructor Hobson. The vessels are
said to be in excellent condition as to ma
chnery and even before they went into
dry dock to be repaired the Isla de Cuba
and the Isla de Luzon made 13 knots under
their own steam and the Don Juan de
Austria was only knot behind. The con-
structors report to the navy department
shows that the other sunken ships have
been so badly damaged as not to be worth
the cost of raising and repairing.

Coal for the Philippines.

Washington, March 13.-The equip
ment bureau of the navy department is
now loading at Newport News $4,000
tons of coal, to be taken to Manila
This coal will be taken through the
Suez canal, and thence to Admiral
Dewey's fleet. All the coal used by the
navy in the Philippines, and the coal
stored at Honolulu is sent from the
Atlantic seaboard. mostly from New
port News or Baltimore. The depart
ment has already has already shipped
100000 tons to Manila since the war be-
gan. The coal sent by steamer goes
through the Suez canal, and that in
sailing vessels around the Cape of
Good Hope. The trip through the canal
takes about so days, and the sailing
vessels make it in five months. The
coal for Honolulu is sent by way of
Cape Horn. Nearly all the sailing ves-
sells are American. while most of the
steamers are British. Some suggestion
has been made that coal might be talk
en- from the Pacific coast, but the tests
made of coal mined there has not been
satisfactory to the navy department.
Some coal, but not much, has been
purchased in Australia and sent to the
Philippines,

BY NO MEANS ACERTAINTY
THERE MAY BE NO SPECIAL SES-
SION OF THE LEGISLATURE.
Governor Smith Comes to the Conclusion
That II May BE Possible for the
W. state to Worry Along.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena. March 13.--The extra session of
the legislature does not appear to be such
"A certainty as ii looked II few days ago.
Because of the failure of the late session
to enact any laws that will tend to in
crease the revenues of the state the gov
ernor had about made up his mind to call
the lawmakers together again to pass
some revenue laws. This the governor
believed, to be an absolute necessity. Since
he first announced that he had special
session in contemplation he has been doing
some figuring with Auditor PoindeXter,
Treasurer Collins and other state officers.
This afternoon the governor said he was
beginning to think the state could get
a,ong without a special session. Accord
ing to the figures that he had obtained the
deficiency for the two years would be-
about $45, 900. as compared with over $500
for the past two years.
"If the deficiency for 1899 and 1900 will
not exceed $4,000 | think we can get
along without a special session." said he.
"Provdins the figures we have are cor
rect don't see the need of the extra ses-
sion. OF course | am not fully convinced
on the matter. but you can say il YOU
want to that the need for the session
does not appear TO be as urgent as it did

RIOS PROTESTS.
Otis Will Not Permit Him to Negotiate
With the Insurgents.


Madrid, March 13.-GeneraI Rios, the
Spanish commander in the Philippines,
in an official dispatch acquainting the
government with the fact that Major
General Otis has stopped the negotia-
tions for the release of the Spanish pris-
oners in the hands of the rebels, says:
Il protest in the name of humanity
and believe the time has arrived to ap-
peal through the consuls to the good
offices of the powers"
The dispatch says also: Il am told
that the Filipinos are at war with the
Americans and that the prisoners can
not be ransomed for money. as that
would improve the position of the in
surgents. In view of the situation be-
tween the Americans and the Fllipinos
I await the orders of the government"
A copy of the dispatch was sent to
Senior Silvela, the premier who had a
long conference with General Pola-
vieja, minister of war. Both admit tha
gravity of the situation and the dis
patch will be submitted to the cabinet
council tomorrow.
The government is perpleXed at see
ing no clear solution of the difficulty.
AT the war ministry this evening it was
said that no reply would be sent to

Manila, March H. noon.--At o'clock
this morning. hearing the insurgent
bugles sounded, Scott's battery dropped
three shrapnel shells into the woods on
the left Of the Pasig church. No reply
was made. and at 7:45 o'clock the 22d

encountered a number of Voleys. This
fire was returned with interest.
The line then wheeled toward Pateros

volunteers, the Goth regulars. the
Washington volunteers. a cavalry de-
tachment, the Cd regulars and reserve
