The public-spiritedness of John
Sparks of Reno in importing from
Texas a carload Of cattle suffering
from the dread Texas fever, that ex-
pertinent may be made by the State
and Federal authorities, is to be COM
n1ended. The results obtained from
the experiment will, OF course be of
immense value to MI. Sparks as an
individual, but the benefit to the stock
growers of the State can scarcely be
imagined. The public-spiritedness
shown in this instance is, u~nfortuate-
~ too rare. Few breeders would have
gone to the expense and trouble, as
Mr.. Sparks has done, even though
the individual making no outlay
would derive great benefit. When
such a display Of the "enlightened
interest, - Of which the English school
Of social philosophers delighted tc
pirate, is made, him making it is en-
titled to the praise of his fellows.

A discussion IS still going on be
tween the Government 81 the United
States and that of Canada concerning
boundary questions. The Canadian
Government now demands the posses
sion of Pyramid Harbor, on the Lynn
Canal. This is for the purpose of Civ
ing Canada an outlet to the sea from
the Klondike on her own territory
something she sadly lacks at present.
In all these Canadian boundary
questions SO far, Great Britain has
got the better of us and then has
laughed at us for our folly.
Let us hope that this time at least
the Government of the United States
will not permit itself to be diplomatic
ally buncoed.

Spanish Prisoners

Asks $500, 900 for the Release Of the
Spanish Prisoners
Madrid, Feb. cit is announced that
arrangements for the repatriation Of
the Spanish troops in the Philippine is
lands are being made at New York
and San Francisco. The American
government, it is added, bears the ex-
pense of the repatriation, which is to
be carried on by the Spanish Iransat-
lantic Steamship company. The Span
ish government, through the French
embassy at Washington, has sent q
communication to the government Of
the United States saying, that in view
Of the non success Of the Americans to
obtain the release Of the Spanish pris-
oners, the Spanish government itself
has taken steps to obtain their release.
But as this will necessitate a certain
expense the government Of Spain re-
calls the fact that the stipulations Of
the treaty Of Paris Oblige the Ameri-
cans to obtain the liberation Of the
Spaniards Gen. Rios, commanding the
Spanish troops in the Philippines,
cables that Aguinaldo offers to release
the Spanish prisoners on the payment
Of 100000 and the handing over to
him of the cannon, rifles and 100000
cartridges belonging to the Spaniards,
The government here replied that it
could not accept this transaction as it
would be equivalent to Indirect pro-
traction of the insurrect1on, which
would be a breach Of the Spanish EN-
gagements with the United States.
Aguinaldo, it appears still retains the
civil prisoners and the monks. iG

Foreign Powers Cannot Recognize
...r the FilipinOs. % ,ss. 4
Washington, Feb. 7.-As to the legal
bearing Of the situation leading
member Of the foreign diplomatic
corps said the outbreak made it quite
clear that no foreign power could or
would intervene or exert any influence
in the Philippines, and the foreign gov
ernments would now recognize In this
overt act Of the Filipinos that the
United States was justified in using
strong repressive measures. The idea
that the Fiipinos could hope for recog-
milton from any foreign power was
dismissed. 1t is said that the present
force Of foreign warships at or near
Manila are two British, one German
and one French. These could be quick
~ augmented, however, from the large
squadlOns which the several powers
maintain in Asiatic waters, but theSof-
ficials here do not apprehend there
will be any occasion for extended pro-
lection to foreign residents, the only
use to which these vessels could be
put. Such protection, it is said, would
only be given as q last resort, az it
might be construed by this country as
an assertion of it's inability to main.
tain order and protect persons and
property. z N 55s|5 # 4 a. " >isss $5.E

A French invention-a gun camera
is the latest adjunct to instantaneous
photography, and in competent hands
may be rendered more obtrusiye than
the omnipresent Kodak. It has a stock
like that Of the ordinary gun, but e
barrel is four inches in diameter, and
is covered with leather. At the breech
is square box, to which several
small levers are attached. The weapon
is leveled upon flying bird or any
moving object, the trigger is pulled,
a shutter is sprung, and the object Is
transfxed upon the film. Twelve shots
may be taken with it, and It is re-
loaded in much the same manner as
the ordinary camera. It strikes one
that the Industrious burglar may OBJ
ject to the instrument, as being an
other possible interference with the
undisturbed exercise Of his profession.
AS with the microscope, justice may
find in it an incidental auxiliary. s.

Every confidence is felt, however,
that Gen. Otis is master Of the situn-

on yesterdays cablegram, but from re-

from time to time during the past few
months. The forces under his com.

gents opposed to Gen. Otis. The ac-
counts of their number are conflicting
sources. Still, the best belief Of the
authorities at the war department. is
that they number about 10000 men,
Americans in discipline or quality or
arms. On the whole the war depart
nlent officials have not the slightest
position Indefinitely, and the cause for
apprehension is the fear that by TAX
ing to the interior and the approach Of
the rainy season, a prolonged fighting
style of campaign may follow. Besides
his soldiers, Gen. Otis has at his back
in Manila bay, commanding the city,
a verMable rock Of Gibraltar in Dew
ey's fleet. With the vessels he now
has and those about to join him, Dew
ey will have twenty one ships OF vari-
GUS types. The fleet cannot operate
against troops in the interior, but un-
doubtedly Dewey Immediately will

The main plaza of San Juan, Puerto

Manila, Feb. Z. - The long expected
rupture between the Americans and
Filipinos has come at last. The form
er are now engaged in solving the Phil
tppine problem with the utmost expedi-
ton possible. The clash came at SAC
o'clock Saturday evening when three
daring Filipinos darted past the Amer
lean pickets at Santa Mesa and refused
to stop when challenged They re-
peated the experiment without draw
ing the sentries' fire, but the third time
Corporal Greedy challenged the Fill
pinos and then fired, killing one of
them and Wounding another Almost
Immediately afterward the FIhpinos'
line from Coloocam to Santa Mesa
commenced fusillade which was in
efectual. The Nebraska, Montana
and North Dakota outposfs replied
vigorously and held their ground until
reinforcements arrived. The Fiipinos,
in the meantime, concentrated at three
points, Caloocan, Galgagin and Santa
Mesa. At about L o'clock the Filipinos
opened a hot fire from all three places
simultaneously. This was supple
mented by the fire of two siege guns
at Balk-balk and by advancing their
skirmishers at Pace and Pandacuan.
The Americans responded with a ter
rife fire, but owing to the darkness
they were unable to determine it's eff
feet. The Utah light artillery finally
succeeded In silencing the native bat
terry. The Third artillery also did good
work on the extreme left. The engage
nent lasted over an hour.
Warsh1ps Take Part.
The United States cruiser Charles
ton and gunboat Concord, stationed Off
Malabona, opened fire from their Sec
ondary batteries on the Filipinos' posi-
ton at Caloocan and kept it up Wig
orous1y. At :2:45 there was another
fusillade along the entire line and the
monitor Monadnock opened fire on
the enemy from off Malate. With day
light the Americans advanced. The
California and washington regiments
made a splendid charge and drove the
F1llpinos from the villages of Pace and
Santa Mesa The Nebraska regiment
also distinguished itself, capturing sew
eral prisoners and one Howitzer and a
very strong position at the reservoir
which is connected with the water
works. The Kansas and Dakotasregi-
ments compelled the enemy's right
flank to retire to Caloocan. There was
intermittent firing at various points all
day long. The losses of the Filip1nos
cannot be estimated at present, but
they are known to be considerable.
The American losses are estimated at
twenty men killed and 125 wounded.
The Ygorates, armed with bows and
arrows, made very determined stand
In the face of a heavy artillery fire and
left many dead on the field. Many at
tempts were made in this city to as
sassinate American officers.
