Gen. Rivera Dismissed.

Havana. Oct. 27.-General Rios Rivera.
former civil governor of the province of
Havana whose withdrawal from the
g~overnorship was reported as a resigna-
ton, denies that he resigned. He says he
was dismissed, and that he does not know
upon What grounds the dismissal was
ordered. He admits that he had recently
remarked that he would resign in the
event that at least one out of three nomi-
nations he had made to public office was
not approved, but he attributes his dis
misSal to the direct influence of Senior
Domingo Mandoz Canote. secretary of
state, in the advisory bin of Govea=au
General Brooke. Senior CapOte, according
to General Rivera. sent a note asking for
the latter'S resignation, which was re-
fused. General Brooke, when approached
regarding the matter today, declined to
talk for publication, saying that he pre-
farred that any explanation should be
made by General Rivera himself. Senior
Capote asserts that he required General
Rivera to resign because he was an OBJ
structionist and out of harmony with the
administration and that General Rivers
replied that he would wait until he was
dismissed, which was decided upon i'm
mediately. There was no objection, ac'
cording to the secretary Of state, to Gen,
eral RiVera's holding certain views as Z
private individual, but as a subordinat.
it was the duty of General Rivera t.
carry out instructions and to not maxi
himself an obstacle. There was no othe
way to solve the problem. said Seno
Capote.
La Lucha, referring to the dismissal
says: The sole cause was the refusal o
General Rivera to allow cock fighting, hi
course in this respect being contrary to
previous order emanating from Seno
! Capote permitting it,
/. La Discussion says: The occurrenc
: shows the lamentable lack of harmon,
! berween prominent Cubans occupying
! leading positions. The government nus
rave had exceptional reason for dismiss
) ing such a prominent man.
Ell CubanO. in an editorial on the gen
eral state of affairs, abuses the Ameri
cans and congratulates General River
on his dismissal, adding: CUBA is wors
off than formerly, when she owned ne
bad Spanish laws. Now she is worse gov
! erned han ever, as both the America

T. F. Hopkins. a Butte mining man.
returned from Miner creek. in the Big
Hole basin, yesterday, bringing with him
additional particulars concerning the
death of August Pietre by }. G.. ThOmp-
son., concerning which brief mention was
made in this newspaper several days
ago.
Pietre and Thompson were doing rep
RESERVATION work upon the Idaho line.
Pietre coveted some ground which was
being held by Thompson. and last Sat-
urday morning the men quarreled about
the making of the morning coffee. Pietre
snatched up a Winchester and fired at
Thompson. The cabin was very small
and how he could lave missed him is sim
gular. Pletre then attempted to shoot
again. but the cartridge became fast in
the magazine. Then Thompson drew his
revolver and shot Pietre. the bullet pass
ing through his heart. Thompson went
to Bannack and gave himself up to a
deputy sheriff. and the result of the coro-
ner's investigation was Il verdict of JUS
tifiable homicide.

Financial Condition of Ravall
County.
TOLD BY STAT
Strict Economy Is Necessary to Pre-
vent an Overstepping of the
State Laws.
Hamilton, Mont. Oct. 26, 1899.

Hamilton. Mont, Oct. 26. 1899.
The report of the state examiner rela-
tive to the financial conditions of avail
county was received and filed yesterday.
1t will prove most interesting reading to
the taxpayers and shows that the county
has already reached It's limits Of indebt-
edness. The county has a bonded in
debtedness of $75, 000.0 90 and on Oct, LIST
had outstanding warrants amounting to
S55, 9S5. 10 With 1921 in the treasury. For
October and November the expenditures
are estimated at $17,940. The receipts
for license fees and taxes for the same
time are estimated at $42, 900. 90 which at
the end of the fiscal year will leave an
actual indebtedness of 500. 109. 100. In
conclusion the report states, IL think
you will find that the Indebtedness has in
creased $40 900 or more this year. and 1
hope and believe the seasons impOst of
such a large Indebtedness and constant
increase is fully realized by your hon
orable board. and that you will at once
augurate such economies as will re-
lieve the situation. i cannot too strong

No New Features.

London, Oct. 2S.-The war situation
this morning presents no new features.
1t is presumed in Natal that the Beers
are reconstructing their plans and that
the English are resting, but kilograms
from L~adysTnith, at Express rates, still
occupy As hours in transmission to Lon
don and therefore it is not impossible
that something is happening. The special
dispatch asserted that Colonel Baden
Powell, the British commander at Mafe-
king, is aware that Pretoria has given
General Cronie orders to stay his hand,
as already there is quite enough to en-
ploy the Beers in Natal. The govern
ment has chartered the City of Rome as
a hospital ship.
According to the latest account of the
first battle at Glencoe the Boer army
amounted 20 1900 men, and about noon
another army almost as large. under
command of General Joubert, advanced
within G,000 yards of Glencoe camp and
then retired. The Boer losses were very
heavy, fully 5000.

As to the battle of Santiago, Ad-
miral Schley says the facts of that
contest speak for themselves. He
quotes from his official report to
Sampson, in which he congratu-
lated the commander of the squad
ron and said the victory seems
big enough for allof us. He asks
the committee to contrast his re-
ports and those of Sampson con-
tanning references to himself, and
continues:
AS to all this criticism of my
course prior to the discovery by
me on May 90 of Cervera's fleet,
whether from Admiral Sampson
or the department, none of 1t has
ever been made by either of them
to me. / never heard a word of it
from anyone until after the battle
with that fleet, although more than
FIVE weeks had elapsed since the
alleged reprehensible conduct had
occurred. Although Admiral
Sampson used this language to the
secretary concerning me on the
10th day of July Gust one week
after the battle) he has never, to
this day, in an any manner or to
any extent intimated to me any
disapprobation or made to me any
criticism of my conduct of the fly
ing squadron" ="
