F|[|P|NOS HAYE AN ALLY.
The Head of the Filipino Junta at Hong Kong Discusses the Situ-
 ation in the Islands.
CLIMATE MORE DEADLY THAN BULLETS.
Gen. Lawton Quoted as Saying Tint Hundred Thousand Men VIII He Needed to Pacify the Philippines. by Heason of the Guerrilla Tac- tics of the Enemy.

New York, April 18.-A Hong Kong letter to the World says: We are weak and you are strong" said Dr. l Gallicano, the head of the Filipino l junta here, but we have an ally and you have none.
 We have 70OOO stands of arms and 30,o0o troops in the field. and sufif- cient material to make cartridges to supply our troops for fonr years to come.
 Climate More Deadly Than Bullets.
 Our ally is the climate of the Phil 1 ippines. Your bullets can not kill one of our men where disease will kill 90 or yours. once you begin your advance l into the interior. We will harass your l advance at the same time that we well come it.
 Don't Need to Fight Battfes.
 'We can not fight pitched battles with you, and we do not need to. We shall be here to-day and there to-mor- TOW, attacking, then flying. You can no more catch us or conquer us than you can the wind"
 Youth seems to be the invariable first requirement of leadership among the Filipinos Only the younger gem eration of halfbreeds have had the advantage of education. Dr. Apaeible and Dr. Santos (after Apaeible), the mest prominent men of the Hong Kong iunta, are under 9, and both have received the decree of doctor of 'aWs in Spain.
 The Filipino Leaders.
 Between them, and the numerous young men who are their associates and the mass of Filipinos, there is pbout as much resemblance as between quadroon and full-blooded negro. Ttey are led to organize the rebellion by a priest; priests educated them, md by the irony of fate, they HOW aold hundreds of friars as prisoners.
 Mai.-Gcn. Lauton Quoted.
 New York, April 1s.-A dispatch to the World from Manila says: Mai.-Gen. Lewton, at Paite, authorized the World correspondent to make this statement:
 "fhe present prospect is that 1o0, 100 troops will be necessary to paeify the Philippine islands" Back to Manila.
 Gen. Lawton's expedition has return ed to Manila. All the territory he cak- tured has been evacuated and all the launches he seized will be given back to the persons from whom Aguinaldo's soldiers took them.
 After giving the opinion that 100000 men will be required to subdne these islands Gen. Lawton explained the situation to the World correspondent IS follows:
 A Guerrilla Warfare.
 "The difficulties in the way are those of fighting guerrillas in a tropical country.
 With my brigade I could force my WAY from one end of the island 10 the other if did not have to hold the ;er- ritory I traversed. But leaving gar risons behind would soon eat up the whole force"
 Gen. Lawton regretted exceedingly being compelled to evacuate the terri tory he had captured.

special Correspondence of the Standard
Twin Bridges, March BIB. F. Morris
well known farmer and stock raiser
OF the lower Beaverhead valley. was
seriously, II not fatally, hurt, last Sat
urddy evening by a span of wild colts
he was breaking. Three right ribs were
broken and he was otherwise injured
internally Mr. Morris has been getting
teams in shape for the spring work and
Saturday came to Twin Bridges to do
his weeks trading and drove a fine pair
OF geldings to a heavy wagon. After his
purchases We're made he started home,
and when about two miles from town
the accident occurred. He is at the
Stark hotel but is in such a condition
the Standard man was unable to gain
much information relative to the mis-
nap. However, from what was learned
1t is supposed one of the traces became
unfastened and while Mr.. Morris was
attaching it to the whifletree on of
the horses kicked him with the above
result. The team ran away and after
freeing themselves from the wagon be-
came separated. One of the horses was
finally caught. The unfortunate man
was picked up by Mr.. Tovey and con-
veyed to town, where he is under a
PHYSICIANS care. Mrs. Morris was i'm
mediately sent for and has been with
her husband since.
Weather permitting, st. Patrick's day
will be celebrated in Twin Bridges by
genuine Irish-American parade, which
will be participated in by all. A meet
ing of the representative business men
was held in the Office of the Stark last
evening and the arrangements perfect
ed for a celebra ton that will discount
any st. Patrick's day ever honored
here. The meeting was presided over by
Col. John Dullea and Agent T. F.

tive committee consisting of the presid-
ing officer Harry Hamilton, L. r. Pow

A REWARD OFFERED.
Fellow Employees Alarmed About the Alb
sence of Alex yannett.

Great Falls, March 15.-So alarmed
have the employees of the silver smelter
in this city become over the prolonged
absence of their fellow workman, Alex
Vannett, that they offer a liberal re-
ward for information as to his where
,abouts. His disappearance on the 25th
of February has already been noted in
this column. On that date he was last
seen at the company boarding house,
where he purchased a pair of gloves
and put them on with the remark that
they fitted him as well as if he had
been born in them. Then he went out
and no one has seen him since. He left
his best clothes in his room and there
was due to him in wages from the COM
p&ny s26 over and above his board bill
There is every evidence that he was
sober at the time he left and that his
departure was sudden and without pre-
meditation. He was much liked by the
smeltermen and it is solely on account
of their anxiety that they offer the re-
ward.
Vannett has a brother. who is road
master for the Northern Pacific at Fer
tile, Mimi. and he has been written to,
but replied that he had not heard from
him in 10 years, although he had made
repeated inquiries for his brother The
missing man is a Scotchman by birth,
has one glass eye, and. it is believed,
wore glasses at the time he left.

Gated with over the telephone and re-
piled that Baum had no account at his
bank and was unworthy of any credit
whatever. Search was then made for
Baum and he was located at a brothel
where most of the a. had been spent.
He was brought up town and given an
opportunity to refund the money. He
did so in short order. He simply step
ped into the Imperial and drew another
check for So, which Harry Baughman
cashed for him. With the first little
episode off his mind he returned to the
locality where he had been found. The
officers had not lost sight of him, how
ever, but soon informed Baushman of
the circumstances and then Baum was
locked up again The officers gave him
no opportunity to raise any more funds
but turned him over to Sheriff Rozen
and to-day Baughman will lodge a
complaint against him. Baum pretend
ed to be very drunk, but the officers
say it was mostly sham.
Baum appears to be an incorrigible
evil deer. He has been disbarreu from
every court he has practiced in, but on
account of rather suaVe personality
has no difficulty in recommending him
self in new localities until his depravi-
ties become public. 1t has been barely
two weeks since he swindled Rev. ]. d.
,McConkey of $40 on a bogus draft on a
California bank, but the good minister,
though sorely needing the amount,
would make no prosecution. Baum
claims to have once been state superin-
tendent of education in New Jersey and
to have been a person of consequence
Tn Vn,r f,of mn
reaching a new locality is to cultivate
the educational classes and identify
himself with the Episcopal congrega-
ton. In this way he soon attains a
standing, and could doubtless have
earned an honorable position many
times over if his mania for crime did
not overcome him."
