SPAN REFUSES to Accept the Offer Made
by Aguinaltlo.
Madrid, Feb. Sit is announced that
arrangements for the renatriation OF
the Spanish troops in the Philippines
are being made at New York and San
Francisco. The American government,
1t is added, bears the expense of the
repatriation, which is to be carried out
by the Spanish Transatlantic Steam
ship company. The Spanish govern
ment, through the French embassy at
Washington, has sent communication
to the government of the United States
saying that in view of the desire of the
Americans to relinquish the prisoners,
the Spanish government itself has
taken steps to obtain their release But
as this will necessitate certain. ex-
pense, the government of Spain recalls
the fact that the stipulations of the
treaty of Paris oblige the Americans to
obtain the liberation of the Spaniards.

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 gov
eminent here replied that it could not
accept this transaction as it would be
equivalent to indirect protection of the
insurgents which would be a breach
of the Spanish engagements with the
United States. Aguinaldo, it appears,
still retains the civil prisoners and the

WANTS A new CONTACT
A Proposition Made by the Elec-

A MUCH CHEAPER RATE
Thirty Lights Will Be Furnished at a
Less Cost Than the City Is Now

| Missoula, Feb. 5.-The regular monthly
| tomorrow evening. An important matter
| to be brought before the meeting will be
| the report of the committee on light and
| water, to whom had been submitted at a
previous session the proposition of the
electric light company soliciting a new
contract upon somewhat different ba-
sis from that now in force and which
expires in September next. The company
proposes now to at once enter into new
lO-year contract and furnish the city with
80 arc lights at monthly rental of $685.
per light, and to Immediately vacate the
present contract regardless of the several
months 1t has vet to run. and which pro-
vides for 20 lights at monthly rental
of SIS
The wide variance in the future cost
of the service as compared with the num-
Der of lights now in use is explained by
the company in the fact that the corpo-
ration is now in position to furnish
lights at a much cheaper rate than at
present prevails, the facilities of the
plant justifying such a course. A COM
parison of the figures will show that the
securing 30 lights for $50 per month less
than 20 are now costing, to say nothing of
the cost of the incandescent lighting of
the city hall and engine house, which,
under the new terms, is to be furnished
free. ~ ~
1t is not known what character of re-
port the committee will make on the
proposition though street talk is to the
effect that 1t will be favorable to the
new scheme. The question, however, will
arise as to the actual necessity of the
10 extra lights and it may be on that
point where discussion will hinge with
the aldermen. Friends of the measure
nevertheless contend that the lamps can
be placed to advantage, many of the re-
mnte outskirts being in darkness, like
wise the university grounds and the
streets leading thereto, which will soon
require the signal rays of these modern
orbs of night. .a5S%
