MES that he is interested in stores
that the regularly licensed trader has
ever overcharged the Indians for
goods bought of him. What is more
he defies the Indians to prove that he
is interested in any mercantile ven

NAL, however, will probably avail him
nothing if the Decisions, Hoyts,
Graveses, and McNeelys I to have
their say. He is evidently marked by
them for decapitation and they do
not propose to allow anything to stand
in their way of success. He may sub.
stantiate his, denial by submitting
proof, but that will not worry them.
They have been too long in the bust
ness of making false charges and
b%olstering them up with afidavits OF
the hand-me-down variety to lose
heart at any defense he may see fit
to make. No doubt when he is con
fronted by the charges of the gang
he will find attached afidavits of men

whom he has reasons for believing

guns to round up the Indians and
force them to buy there at prices SO
high that compared with them those
charged in the Klondike appear like
bargain day figures. If necessary
they will come to eastern Montana,
where they have done business before,
and secure the aid of professional
affidavit makers who will testify that
he is an escaped convict, a man with
a price on his head, a murderer and
a defaulter, anything the gang may
request them to testify to.
The Gazette is sorry for Mr.. Smead,

ROBSON AT BUFFALO.
Alabama Hero Will Have Charge of
 Navy Exhibit.

Washington. April ls.-The arrange ments for the exhibits of the State, War and Navy Departments at the Buffalo Exposition are now practically complete.
 Probably the most interesting Navy De- partment feature will be the presence at Buffalo during the exposition of Naval Constructor R. P. Hobson. Captain Hob son recently was ordered to the bureau of construction and repair for special duty. It has been the desire of those in charge of the exposition to have this young hero of our war with Spain with the naval exhibit during the summer but Admiral Bowles. chief constructor, was looth to deplete his already small bureau force to allow MT. Hobson to go to Buffalo. However. he has now yielded to the popular desire and Captain Hobson will be connected with the Navy Depart ments representation there.

A German View.

Berlin, April 19. - The Vossische Zei- tung, which severely reviews England s newest budget this morning says:
 Tt is palpable truth of how ruinous the South African war has proved. The most astonishing step the British government has taken is the export duty upon coal, which surely will hit England hard"
 The Boerson Courier says: These new tax and revenue measures mean wide departure from the commercial principles hitherto followed in England. In them selves they contain the sharpest con demnation of the imperialistic policy
 The Berliner Nueste Nachrichten says;
 Now apparently has arrived the psychological moment when the English people must decide whether to continue the old South African course or to act upon the riper judgment that the South African business is based wholly upon erroneous suppositions."

Administration Expressed Great Joy When the News Was Received In Washinqton-Gen. MacArthur
 Releases Prisoners.

Manila, April 19.-The following is Az uinaldo's address to the Filipino people, made public this afternoon:
 'I believe I am not in error in pre- suming that the unhappy fate to which my adverse fortune had led me. is not sur prise to those who have been familiar with the progress of the war. The lessons taught with a full meaning, and which have recently come to my knowledge. suggest with irresistible force that com plete termination of hostilities and last ing peace are not only desirable, but ab- solutely essential to the welfare of the Philippine Islands.
 "The Filipinos have. never been dis mayed at their weakness, nor have they faltered in following the path pointed out by their fortitude and courage. The time has come, however, in which they find their advance along this path to be impended by an irresistible force, which while 1t restraints them, yet enlightens their minds and opens to them another course. presenting them the cause of peace
 This cause has been joyfully embraced by the majority of my fellow-country- men, who have already united around the glorious sovereign banner of the United States. In this banner they repose their trust. and believe that under It's Drotec- ton the Filipino people will attain all those promised liberties which they are beginning to enjoy. The country has de- clared unmstakabfy in fa$bl # eace. a6 be It. There has been enough blood. Z enough tears and enough desola ton.
 This wish cannot be ignored by the men still in arms if they are animated by a desire to serve our noble people which has thus clearly manifested it's will. So they respect this will, and now that it is known to me, after mature deliberation I resolutely proclaim to the world that I cannot refuse oNheed the voice of a peo- pie longing for peace nor the lamenta- tions of thousands of families yearning to see their dear ones enjoying the liber- ty and the promised generosity of the great American nation
 .'By acknowledging and accepting the sovereignty of fhe Urfted States through out the Philippine archipelago as now do and without reservation whatever, I believe that am serving thee. my be- loved country. May happiness be thine.
 To signalize this present< step fin the modification of the country General Mac Arthur orders the release, on swearing allegiance to the United States of one thousand insurgent prisoners.

 A military contributor to the Berliner Tageblatt expresses the same opinion, pointing out that in this instance, as in the case of the Pao Ting Flu expedition months ago. premature publication by the British and American press will enable the Chinese general, who profits by the excellent news-purveying system of the Chinese, fed by every Chinese diplomat abroad, to retire beyond the reach of the allied expedition before its arrival" This writer asserts that such premature pub lications have done immense damage to the cause of the allies in China"
