THE MINOT ROW
The Reporter gives the following ac
count of the trouble at Minot last week:
Miiiot was exceedingly "warm" last night,
and to do credit to all that transpired
would probably fill the ooluinns of our
paper. One trouble came about. the ar
rwt«of a notorious character, named
"Grace," who was brought up before
Judge Murray yesterday afternoon. She
asked for a postponement of her case
until today at 2 o'clock which was grant
ed. Jones was delegated to guard her to
the house, when a general row was started,
presumably to get a ohanoe to do him,
and from appearances it was previously
planned—the intention being, it is under
stood^ to do up Aoting Chief of Poliee
Roy Peirce, who. had made the arrest,
aud for whom Jones was mistaken. Jones
took a hand in it to quell the disturb
ance, and in his efforts to arrest tbo
oowardly loaders was struck on the back
of the head with the head-end of a coupling
pin by one of the thugs, Jones however,
stood to his duty and fought bravely
against odds, but was overpowered Dy
superior numbers, and was kocked down,
kicked^ pounded and otherwise bruised
up/By this time help began to arrive, one
of the thugs was captured and two others
escaping. Jones was taken to the hospital
where his wounds were dressed, by Dr.
Crokat, and is resting easy.
While the above events were trans
piring, the south end of Main Street was
the 8otne of a tradgey, whioh resulted
in the death of Louis Hoffman, at the
bauds of Agent O'Brien 0/ the Great
Northern. Hoffman, was a prisoner in
tha county jail, but requested the sheriff
to take, him to his home to get a chance
of olotheF. The story as told by the
family of the unfortunate man, is as fol
lows: O'Brien bad aocompauied Mrs.
Hoffman'and Mrs. Thomas Jones home
and they were aft sitting in a little room,
Off the ball when Hoffman rapped at
the screen door of the hall entrance.
Mrs. Hoffman went to open it for him,
when he used some rough language, to
her. She ran without opening the door,
and Hoffman pushed his band through
tee eoreen netting, unlocked the door
and gave shase. Both women tt^en ran
out doors followed by Hoffman who
lost tliem and went bnck into the house
and bad hot words with O'Brien. The
sheiritf then came in and took Hoffman in
to the front room, aud O'Brien went out
the back way. In a short time he came
back into the kitchen vnd Hoffmaa rushed
out the front door and attacked him,
O'Brien broke away and shot him in the
leg from whioh he bled to death in about
three hours.

Cape Haytiex, June9 .—It is reported here that a great battle
has takan place at Caimanera.in the bay of Guantanamo, at 5:
30, Sunduy morning, five ships of the American squadron
opened a heavy bomb^g^ment of the fortifications of the town.
There was a perfect h^^of bombs in the bay, striking and de
molishing mauy housea#beyond the forttfications. The Span,
ish replied vigoursly ,ibr awhile but finally abandoned the ir
fortifications.
New York, Juue 8!—A Kingston special reports that two
Spanish vessels were badly damaged in Monday's bombard
ment of the fortrf&rtd fleet at Santiago.
The vessels injured were the first class cruiser izcaya and
the torpedo boar destroyer Furor.
A large shell burst under the Vizcaya
dismounted a gun. The rudder of the vessel was also badly
injured and a number of sailors were wounded.
Manilla, via Hoxg Kong, June 7:—TheSpanish outposts have
been driven in all along the line simultaneously 'and slaugh
tered. It is said that over a thousand have been killed. There
has been fierce hand to hand to hand fighting for seventy
hours, despite the typhoon which was raging. Violent winds
and torrents of rain rendered the rifles of the Spanish troops
unavailing. The natives easily won at every step with their
slashing knives. To-day the insurgents hold Malabon and Ba
cor. They are now attacking Santa Mesa and Molate, suburbs
of the city, which are completely encircled for the distance of
seven miles.
The native regiment, under Aguinaldo, cousin of the insur
gent leader, yesterday joined the insurgents. The governor
issued a dispairing proclamation, begging the insurgents to
come to terms and meanwhile he is arranging to remove all the
Spanish population inside the walled city. He is filling moats
testing drawbridges and placing strong guards in the principal,
streets and the artillery along the walls. All other troops are
camping in the suburbs. The weather is terrific.
I visited Cavite without the Spaniards knowing it and found
there 1,897 wounded and 56 prisonurs, among the latter six Span
ish officers, the others being natives. All were well treated.
Chief Agu'nado, in the course of an interview, has said that
the insurgents are eager to rush upon Manilla fqrthwith, but
that Admiral Dewey refuses to allow the "hordes of passionate
semi-savages to storm a civilized metropolis.
Admiral Dewey intends to await the arrival of the America
troops. In the meantime the insurgents have 1 een forbidd"
to
the Malote River, seven miles.south of Manilla, oth
wise the Petral will be stationed there to bombard them.
The volunteers smelt power yesterday. Four officers wer
killed and three others were wounded. The rest retired rapidly.
One German resident has enlisted with the volunteers.
Spaniards Say Mmilla Ha3 Fallen.
A Madrid dispatch June 8, says the Spaniards rather than be
massacred by insurgents have surrendeerd to the Americnns.
