ARMY CAMP
COLORADO STATE HOUSE HELD
BY ARMED GUARDS.
MALTA NOT CALLED OUT
Anti-Woicott Republicans Hold House
Chamber and Democrats
the Senate.

Denver, Jan. 22.-The capitol has
a Warlike aspect today owing to the
presence of armed men in the house
chamber. An unfounded report that
the national guard, under orders from
Governor Peabody, had taken posses.
sion of the ~statehouse, probably had
it's origin in the fact that House Ser
geant at Arms Plummer had posted
80 guards to resist an anticipated at
tempt of the supporters of Edward O.
| Wolcott, republican candidate for sen
ator, to capture the hall. On every
desk is a pair of big revolvers and in
the M stand many repeating
s%hotguns. These guards are com
manded by Sherman Bell of Rough
Rider fame, and James H. Clark, who
is noted for his fighting prowess. The
house did not meet today, having ad-
journed until Friday, but the anti
Wolcott republicans in control of the
organization will maintain their gar
rison until the fear of an anticipated
raid has passed.
At the senate chamber no display
of weapons is made and the guards
patrol their stations quietly.
The two senates, each of which re-
fers to the other as the trump" are
in session today, and no progress ap-
pears to have. been. made toward a
settlement of the difference between
them. The body over which Lieuten-
ant Governor Haggott presides, and
which sits in his office. consists of Il
regularly elected republican senator's
and eight republican contestants, who
were declared entitled to seats by the
lieutenant governor and the IL repub-
lican senators, the "a democratic sena-
tors refusing to vote when the ques-
ton was put by the lieutenant gov

The body which is holding the sem
ate hall at the capitol, sitting contin-
uously, consists of "a regularly elected
democratic senators and two contest
ants who were seated in place of two
of the II regularly elected republi-
cans.
Soon after opening the days session
at 10 o'clock the democratic senators
ordered a recess until 1880, and a
caucus of the democratic members
of both houses was held in the senate
chamber. Reporters were excluded.

WHY THEY'DID I.
Bo~mbardment Was to Force an En-.
trance Into Lake Maracaibo.

New York, Jan. 23.-The Evening
World publishes the following: Mari
caibo, Jan. 23.-Death and the torch
is Germany's revenge for the humilia-
ton of the Panther under the guns
of Fort San Carlos. General Bello's
gallant garrison has been driven from
the guns, the fort reduced and the
village of San Carlos destroyed by
fire from the shells of the lombard
ing warships. The German residents
OF this city are incensed over the ruth
less killing of non-combatants and
the wanton destruction of property
in San Carlos village.
1t is claimed that the rules OF civ
ilized warfare were violated in the
Smelling of the village without notice
of the bombardment to the inhabi-
tants.
The Panther and Fake succeeded
in passing the fort and entering Lake
Maracaibo, where they captured the
Venezuelan gunboat Miranda. One of
he boats will remain in the lake to
enforce the blockade, which had been
partially nullified by traffic with Co.
lombia, which is carried on by means
of three rivers which flow into Lake
Maracaibo fro mthe interior.

Customs Congress Thinks monroe
Doctrine Should Be Extended.
New York, Jan. 22.-At yesterdays
session of the Customs Congress of
the American Republics, DR.. Alvarez
de Toledo, delegate from Argentine,
presented a resolution which, after
stating in the preamble that the Mon
roe doctrine ought to be extended,
proposed that the congress recon-
mend to the different representatives
the enactment of all commercial treat
les now pending, the formation of
reciprocity treaties with countries
that have no treaties and that treaties
be made more favorable to American
than to foreign countries. The reso.
luton was referred to a committee

the resolution as one presenting a
very important matter.
The report of the committee on
future congresses recommended that
the next congress be held in the city
of Washington. The report was

HURT ~ a FALL.
Great Falls Man Has Serious Bicycle
Accident,

Great Falls, Jan. 23.-Edward r.
Williams, one of the proprietors of
the Luther bowling alleys, is in bed
at his home with a broken collar bone
and severe injuries to his skull that.
II Is feared. may prove serious. The
c..tlIt Cf them cannot be fully deter
mined as yet. 1t was thought that
the skull had been fractured. and
that may yet prove the case, but it
is more probable that his condition
is due to the severe conclusion Of
a fall from his bicycle.
MI. Williams was found about four
o'clock yesterday morning, lying un-
conscious in the road at Sixth avenue
south and Ninth street, where he had
beer thrown from his wheel while
crossing the street railway. He was
bleeding at the nose, ears and mouth.
and this bleeding continued for sew
eral hours.
AS soon as he was found, he was
removed to his home, at Eighth ave-
u south and Twelfth street, and a
physician soon attended him and
found that his right collar bone was
broken, his head was severely injur-
ed and the skull possibly fractured,
and he was weakened by exposure,
as it is believed that he had lain in
the road about three hours.

by reliable evidence before the sub
committee appointed to investigate
charges"
This statement was made by a men,
Der of the subcommittee. The de-
tails of the investigation are kent
secret.
There is no doubt that the disclos-
ures made will result in a thorough
investigation of the whole submarine
boat agencies" continued this men,
Der OF the committees; 'in my opin-
ion it will kill all future legislation
for submarine boats. This ~investiga-
ton will reach some of the great
newspapers OF the country, the own

Of the 1000, 900 worth of stock which
has been issued by the Holland com
pany.
This stock was presented gratuit-
ously, the only consideration being
favorable news and editorial matter
in the columns of the papers,"
In a further statement before the
committee Mr.. Lessler mentioned the
names of ex-Representative Lemuel
Eli Quigg of New York and John Nc
Cullagh, superintendent of elections
of New York, in connection with what
he termed the efforts to intimidate
him to vote for a proposition to pur-
chase submarine boats of the Holland
type.

LESSER says offered him the bride of
$4,000 through his secretary, to vote
for the purchase of the boats, the
members of the committee decline to

was a very large attendance. The
president extended his left hand to
the guests in greeting them. 1t was

Republican Members Claim They viii
Do Their Duty.
Especial to The Gazette.1

Especial to The Gazette.1
Helena, Jan. 24.-The house repub-
licans, who voted against the resolu-
ton yesterday for the Impeachment
OF Judge Harvey, of the Silver Bow
county district court, claim today that
they did not fully understand the res
olution and that when the same is re-
ported back from the committee on
judiciary they viii vote with the 9TH
er republican members of the house.
1t is almost a foregone conclusion that
the house will vote for impeachment.
When the impeachment proceedings
are taken before the bar of the SEN
ate for trial there is no telling what
the final outcome will be. The senate
is slightly democratic and asda from
this fact it requires q TIC !. 5 ,ote
OF the senate to in11each.
Knowing ones claim that notwith-
standing the fact that the senate is
democratic, Judge Harvey can place
no reliance on the party favoring him
in that body. Unless the Silver Bow
county judge can establish a fairly
clear case of innocence it is claimed
that he will be obliged to leave the
bench through the action of the SEN
ate.

OBJECT TO CUBAN RULE
American Settlers in Isle of Pines
Determined Not to Recoe.
nize Cuba.

Havana, Jan. 22.-The Americans
residing on the Isle of Pines deny the
genera assumption of the Cuban gov
eminent that the United States has
no special interest in the island and
are not likely to insist upon the
eventual ownership of it.
In any event they seem confident OF
having the support Of the United
States, ii necessary, in their resist
ance to be governed and taxed by
Cuban officials pending a settlement
of the question of the ownership of
the island.
The matter is expected to receive
attention in consideration of the To-
cation of the coal stations and other
pending questions between Cuba and
the United States.
Recently the American residents of
the islands unitedly notified the al
calde of the Isle of Pines and the
Cuban government of their intention
to resist, by force if necessary, the
collection of taxes or any assumption
of authority over the island by the
Cuban government. The taxes are
now falling due and every American
pledged himself not to pay them.
The Americans contention is found
ed on the section in the Plat amend
ment which expressly omits the Isle
of Pines from the boundaries of
Cuba, and leaves the title to it for flu
ture adjustment by treaty.
Some 800 Americans have, since
the war, taken up their residence in
the Isle of Pines, and it is estimated
that 500 Americans live in the island.
The American portion of the popula-
ton is not of adventurous character,
but is largely composed of people of
mature years, who have engaged in
the business of fruit raising. Their
desire that the island remain Ameri-
a is not purely sentimental, since
they claim, as a Cuban possession,
it would receive no more than 20 per
cent tariff preference, while as a pos
session of the United States the is
land hopes for freer trade with Amer
lea.
Cuba, while acknowledging that
the matter of the ownership Of the
island is open, holds that it has de
facto control over the island for the
time being at least, and that it, there
fore, is authorized to levy taxes and
perform other governmental functions.
1t is said that the United States
will approve of this situation as
against the protests Of the American
residents, who refuse to pay taxes,
although they avail themselves Of
whatever privileges the government
applies.

Mayer Bros. have just delivered to the
Hubbard Milling company three immense
tubular boilers for the use of the big
MILL They weigh nine tons each, and each
has $50 horse power. They are now be-
ing put into place on solid masonry, and
the task of properly aleinging them is no
easy one. One more is to be delivered.
They are the largest that the firm has

The new smoke stack is nearly COM
pleted. and may be completed this after
noon if the weather will permit. 1t will
not be put into use before Sept lst, and
