DUEL TO THE DEATH.
Tragedy Enacted on MONTANA
Rance, With No witness Present,

Helena, Mont. July 16. - A special
from Livingston describes a fatal duel
between two neighboring raRchers
living fifty miles from there on Shields
river. no one else being present, Rob
ert Stevens taking the life Of ". d.
Smith. Smith did not live TO tell the
tale of the c. ntest. but the story told
by Stevens is generally believed to be
true. The shooting occurred about 6
o'clock in the evening, and immediate
ly after Stevens rode to the nearest
ranch and reported what had hap
pened, and then rode all night, arriv-
ing in Livingston early in the morning,
when he gave himself up to the au-
thorities. The story, as told by Stew
ems, is to the effect that Smith was the
aggressor and provoked the quarrel
from the start. The two men met on
the range and began to discuss an old
trouble, when they both became angry
and Stevenc rode away, but was fol-
lowed by Smith. who insisted on re-
newing the quarrel. Stevens finally
jumped from h hOr'e. and, drawing
his revolver. warned Smith not to mo-
lest him. Smith then dismounted
and, selecting two rocks, advanced
toward Stevens, and, when about
twelve feet away. attempted to throw
one at Stevens, who fired killing him
instantly.

Terrible Disaster to Americans in
Manila Narrowly Avertcd.

San Francisco, July 1G.-The officers
of the Second Oregon, while very
guarded in their statements, admit
that the condition Of the American
troops at Manila at the outbreak or
hostilties between the United States
troops and Filipinos was very critical.
The capture of letter sent from out
side our lines in Manila 10 an ennis
sary Of Aguinaldo is probably all tnat
saved our army from terrible disas-
ter and possible humiliation. The let
ter was taken to Gen. Otis, who found
in It the plans Of plot to open the
gates of Manila, sack the city, murder
tie guards and allow the insurgent
army to pour into the American camps
and surprise the men. The United
States troops were under arms all
night to meet the expected attempt,
but the enemy had learned of the cap
ture of the letter and the only part OF
the plot that was carried out was the
burning of portion OF the city on
Manila.
