slides are frequent and danger of de-
struction threatens the town. No

this departure from tho settled policy

what Imperialism meant; they had
learned it from England when they
fought for liberty.
They fought to establish the prop

Of the governed people. The strength
of our nation Is in the manhood and

DEAD BODIES MUTlLATED

New York, May ga dispatch to the
Herald from Manila says: General Otis
says, contradicting the general impress
sion that the campaign against the Fill
pino insurgents will be prosecuted by the
American forces with the utmost ag-
gressiveness possible during the rainy
season. General Lawton is Of the opinion
that an early settlement Of the present
troubles and the close of hostilities de-
pends largely upon the Americans giving
rigid protection to the working classes in
their peaceful occupations, while wag-
ing incessant war against the armed
forces of the enemy from this time forth
by means of guerilla warfare. He will
show the insurgents by vigorous action
on the rivers, lakes and mountains that
their belief that our troops cannot cam
paign in the rainy seasons or in the
mountains is untrue. Later it is possible
that the changing conditions may de-
mand garrisoning by districts, so that
the valuable part of the islands will be
safe for the investment of capital and for
the prosecution of industries until the
Americans are dominant. Quick trans
portation of the cavalry and the pack
mules is desirable as means Of rounding
UP the insurgents.

Special to the Inter Mountain.

Special to the Inter Mountain.
Helena, May 29-The supreme court to-
day affirmed the district court of Cas-
cade county in the case Of James Greedy
VS.. Cascade county, an action to recover
money due for keeping the county poor
in 1894. The county gave Greedy a war
rant in June 1898, for the amount due.
For this he received a check from the
treasurer drawn upon the Merchants
National bank of Great Falls. About a
month subsequently the bank closed.
Greedy had not presented the check, and
being unable to collect the money from
the receiver, commenced action against
the county. The lower court decided
against him, and the supreme court sus-
tains it. He also sued for several hun
dred dollars for moneys disallowed by
the county commissioners. The statute
of limitations barred him from collecting
that claim, and the lower court so held.
From this he appealed. but the supreme
court decides against him.
1t Is reported here that Captain Tilly
Of the signal corps lost his life on the
island Of Ccbu by being shot as he was
trying to swim to a launch. The body
disappeared beneath the surface, and so
far rs known has not been recovered.
Universal expressions Of sorrow are
heard here among his legion Of friends

The Monroe Counterfeit

Denver, Colo, May 29-According to
story printed in the News today the
government secret service of this city
has received information that the plate
from which the famous Monroe head''
$1CO counterfeit was printed was not the
work Of Taylor and Bredell, the con-
fessed counterfeters, but was stolen
from the government vaults at Washing
ton, only the work printed in colors be-
ing done by the men now under arrest.
1t is said the theft was perpetrated five
years ago, but it was not until recently
that an expert engraver could be found
to execute the color work so that the
plate could be used. 1t is alleged that
the counterfeit revenue stamps, which
are known to have been the handiwork
of Taylor and Bredell, are not remark
able for cleverness, while the counterfeit
bill was so perfect as to deceive even
government experts, so that the treasury
department was compelled to withdraw
the entire issue from circulation. It is
claimed that the counterfeiters not only
stole the plato from the treasury vaults.
but 1,oOO sheets of the paper on which
the notes We're printed.
