The Japanese press generally favors
the retention of the Philippine Is
lands by the United States. There
would be no objection to their trans
fer to Great Britain. Japan's inter-
ests, however, forbid their passing
into the hands of Germany or any
other continental power. In any
event the Japanese press regards the
scheme of an insurgent Republic in
the Philippines as impractical.

Brandy Cherries Brandy Peaches
To Whom 1t May Concern :

To Whom it May Concern:
As quite number Of parties have
written to me, asking my legal opin
ion on the question of the sale of
Brandy Cherries and Brandy Peaches
without a retail liquor licenses, take
this method of giving my opinion
upon this question.
1t is my opinion that the sale with
out liquor license of Brandy Cherries
and Brandy Peaches, and a great
many of the different brands Of
Bitters," is clearly violation of the
law.
In the case of the State vs.. Zeigler,
the question of the 'llegality of the
sale of Brandy Cherries came up, and
Judge Watkins, who was the presid-
ing Judge, held that Zeigler had not
violated the law. He gave as his
reasons, that in that particular case
the evidence showed that the cherries
were eaten, and consequently he
looked upon that particular case as a
sale of fruit.
Many have acted upon that decis-
sion and in good faith sold Brandy
Cherries and Peaches. Many others
have refrained from doing so because
they believed it to be violation of
the law.
Several cases have been reported
to me lately, but under the ruling of
the Court in the Zeigler case, I feel
that the parties acted in good faith,
aud have not hold them responsible.
But feeling, as I do, that it is a
violation of the law, and having been
asked for my opinion in the matter, I
take this method of notifying all
parties that hereafter, any one selling
without liquor license Brandy Cher.
ries, Brandy Peaches, and Bitters,
whose medicinal qualities are not
specially recognized, but which are
sold simply as beverage, and es'
pecially where they contain as much
as so per cent. of alcohol, will be
subject to prosecution and fine. II
it is unla,cful it should be stopped
if it is lawful, then all should be al
lowed to sell it. Equal rights to al
and special privileges to none, is the
fundamental principle of our govern
| ment.
Respectfully,

locating at Ketchum, in what was

growers in our county. He has
pleasant home at Toponis, a nice
family, who are noted for their hos

a large experience in the public
affairs of our county, having always
taken an active part in politics as

There is no man in the Republican

q clear and full knowledge of just
how to do this or that particular
official duty, When his term of
office closes the people of this county
will have cause to say, well done
| thou good and faithful servant"
| ASSESSOR AND COLLECTOR.
A. S. Senter was named for this
important position. Perhaps no
man in Lincoln county is better
known than Col. Senter. He is a
typical Western man. He was
born in one of the far eastern states,
and after having received a good
education and reaching young man
hood, the war of the rebellion
broke out, and being imbued with
a spirit of loyalty to the flag be
at once enlisted and served in the
army for four long years, During
this time he was promoted from the
private ranks, one step after another
until he was, at the close of the war,
colonel of his regiment. After the
war was over Mr.. Senter located IN
Nebraska, and, being first class
mechanic, he entered the employ
of the Union Pacific and he was
soon promoted to the position of
foreman of the carpenter shops of
that company and occupied that
position for a number of years. AS
the Short Line pushed westward
Mr.. Senter sought a location in
Idaho and selected Shoshone, which
then had but two or three buildings.
He at once identified himself with
the interests OF this county, bought
property. built residence and
business house and has for the
past seventeen years been one of
the leading business men of Sho-
sbone.
When the war with Spain was
declared and the government call
ed for volunteers, Colonel Senter
was among the first to offer his
services to his country. He enlist
ed company of 81 men in Sho-
shone, and in that company was
his only son, Clyde. Clyde was
under the age necessary, yet by the
of the Colonel, he
passed, was mustered in and is
now in Manila. Colonel Senter
not being able to muster in himself,
under the rigid examination, be
vas determined that his name and
blood should help make up our
lrmy, and thus we see he sends his
,nly son, although under age,
hereby pronouncing his continued
levotion to the flag.
AUDITOR AND RECORDER.
Lee S. Vader is the nominee for {
AUDITOR and Recorder. Mr.. Vader t
) farmer and cattle grower living t
ear Snake river, and has been sue
essful in his business. He is we'll
nown throughout the county, he f
aving been county commissioner o
,r the first two years in the history n
{ Lincoln county, and as such he a
lowed his competency to discharge p
ficial duties, as we'll as a safe, "
lreful and economical official. He
i'll make a good Auditor and Re.
,rder and the people will not have n
Iuse to regret that they elected tt

TO Capture Fleet Uninjured
Special Dispatch to THE Sun

Special Dispatch to THE SUM-
WASHINGTON, May 27.-There was
some talk of a movement on Santiago by
land at once, so as to attack the Spanish
fleet from the shore, If it were still in the
harbor. 1t was thought that number
OF troops would be landed to act in con-
junction with Garcias forces, which are
said to be around Santiago de Cuba, and
that the high bluffs overlooking the city
and harbor could be utilized by placing
siege guns SO that from the height of the
bluffs they could fire upon the city and
the fleet in the harbor. But it is thought
this morning that this plan can wait un-
Til after the invasion OF Porto Rico, when
the entire army, after occupation, will
then be sent to Cuba.
1t is understood that the President
thinks it more desirable to hold the
Spanish fleet bottled up in Santiago har-
Dor with the hope of ultimate surrender
than to destroy them by our fleet or
guns. The plan OF sinking loaded hulks
in the narrow channel at the entrance to
the harbor at Santiago de Cuba is thought
to be better way OF preventing the
egress of the fleet. Besides, to capture
the entire Spanish fleet in a perfect con-
dition, wolld add to our navy many
valuable vessels. This way of making
an addition to our navy is considered
far better than destroying the Spanish
boats. and from present indications it
will be an easy way of increasing our
navy.

UNDER HEAVY BAIL.
Harry Wicks and John Gum Held
For Stealing $4OO of Charles
w. MI OuioleY
NJ. Quigley.

Joseph Lapierre George McCray
Lewis Canny, Harry Wicks, John Gum
and Anthony Morgan were given a hear
ing before Magistrate Daley last night on
the charge of the larceny of about $40O
from Charles Nj. Quig!ey
The prosecutor stated that he owns
property at Shalcross avenue and Scott
street and quite recently had borrowed
between $500 and 5000 to repair the
Same. He had completed some of the
necessary repairing and on Saturday
afternoon bought two kegs of beer and
had taken the defendants outside of the
city limits to show them a good time.
Instead he became so intoxicated that
he fell asleep and when he awoke tie
young men and money which he claimed
he had in his pockets had disappeared.
Nearly four hours was consumed in
hearing the case. All the defendants
testified to drinking the beer at the old
quarry near Rosendale Park and said they
were drunk. ~
.Lapierre, McCmy, Canny and Morgan
testified that Gum and Wicks had taken
Quiglev down an embankment near the
place after he had become helpless and
that they were with him for some time.
Harry Bradley testified that he had
found $50 note in his fathers till after
Gum had left there on last Wednesday
night.
Gum and Wicks were held in $1,000
bail each for court, and the others were
discharged.

cial information in regard to the Spanish
fleet before giving orders tor the invasion
OF Porto Rico and the occupation OF Cuba.
Having determined upon these plans,t the
Administration is now bending every ef-
fort to equip and prepare the army for
the task before them. General Miles, who
was to start south day or so ago, now
intends to spend tomorrow in company
with the President and Secretary OF War
Alger inspecting the soldiers at Camp Al
ger. 1t is probable that he will start
south within day on two, perhaps to.
morrow night. His train is waiting
for his orders and is ready to start at
any moment.
1t is more than probable that he will
stop at Chickamauga to inspect the
troops there before proceeding to Tampa.
General Miles is anxious to equip the
troops before they are ordered on the
transports. 1t is known that there are
not more than 25,00O men equipped and
ready to sail at once, and therefore the
talk about simultaneous invasion OF
Cuba and Porto Rico is not the plan.
The preparations for equipment and sup
plies are being rushed with G eat rapid
ity, and by the time the troops are
ready everything will be prepared for
the sending Of a large force to Cuba.
For this reason the Administration
has decided to start the Porto Rican
invasion first. The President consid-
ers this the most important, and it is
known here that it will be the first one
started.

Foster Sentenced.

The Court of General Sessions con-
vened yesterday morning tor the purpose
OF sentencing Mahlon B. Foster, who
was convicted last week of the charge OF
embezzling $40 from Mrs. Margaret
Wells. Upon a plea for clemency on
account of his family, he having six
children, made by his council, H. H.
Ward, Esq, the jurv's recommendation
for mercy and the fact that the district
attorney was reluctant in sending the case
to the grand jury, the court, after few
moments consultation sentenced Foster
to two months in the county Jail. Much
sympathy was felt by the spectators for
the culprit. Foster expressed great ap.
probation for the untring efforts OF his
council, and lett the court in charge Of
the baliff.

The Capture Of Havana.

Special Dispatch to THE Sun.
WASHINGTON, May 27.-lt is stated this
morning that, as Il result of the war con-
ference held at the White House yester-
day, the long, postponed destruction of
the Havana foItiiicatons will occur, next
week, when an army of $4,000 troops
will be landed in Cuba.
The bombartlment will begin as soon
as the troops are ready to start. Stimuli
taneously with this aggressive move.
ment, an expedition will proceed against
Porto Rico. In the meantime all posi-
BILE haste is to be made in sending more
troops to the Philippines.
These plans were completed on the
, positive statement received from Com
modore Schley that he had bottled up
Cervera's fleet in Santiago harbor.
Schley's plan, it is said, is to sink few
rock-laden hulks in the channel ut the
entrance of the harbor, which would
make it impossible for the ships to emerge
for some time
This entire program will now be en-.
tered upon and carried ont to completion,
till Spain sues for peace. The war coun-
Gil considered the possibility OF the ar.
rival Of second fleet from Spain, but
