w AR NEWS.

War news has been very scarce dur
ing the past week and what little there
was was OF very little Importance The
time has been principally taken up by
| gotiations with the Spanish comman-
der looking to the surrender of Santa
go intersperced with an occasional bonn
bardment of the town by our forces
Meanwhile Gen. Shafter was busy hur-
rylng up reinforcements and artillery
and extending lines so as to prevent the
Spaniards from escaping from the city
The latest dispatches from the seat of
war indicates that the city is liable to
surrender at any time, in fact it may
have fallen before this reaches the
hands Of the reader.
Gen. Miles has joined Shafter before
Santiago but is not interfering in any
manner with the direction of affairs.
Watsons' fleet is being prepared as
rapidly as possible for it's descent upon
the coast of Spain and it may have
sailed ere this. Certainly its depart
ure will not be delayed many days. It
is to be composed of the battleships
Oregon and Iowa, the protected cruiser
Newark and the cruisers Yankee, Yose-
mite and Vixen and a number of large
Golfers which are also armed with
small batteries of rapid fire guns.
Nothing of Importance has occurred at
Manila since the arrival of the first ex-
petition of American troops. Dewey is
awaiting the arrival of Gen. Merritt
and more troops before assuming active
operations.
Congress has passed the resolution
annexing Hawaii and it is now a part
Of this nation and the cruiser
Philadelphia has been sent to take for
NAL possession.
The destruction OF the Spanish feet
and the reverses of their land forces at
Santiago has produced another crisis
in Spain. The cabinet has resigned
and the Queen Regent finds it almost
impossible to form another. The air
is full of rumors of peace neg citations
but so far no steps in that direction
have been taken.

The most OF it was so heavy that it had
gone down and two weeks ago fears
were expressed that it would all spoil
but the fine weather recently has en-
abled the farmers to Get it in good
shape and to get it all in and that too
without drop of water falling on it.
Timothy hay is also looking well and
will be a good crop.
The board of school directors met
Monday and organized by the election
OF G. L. Carter as president, David
Patten as vice president and Daniel
Graham as secretary. Prof. Walsh
asked for $4,000 per month for the en-
suing year. This sum the board con-
sidered to high and they will therefore
engage another principal. They are also
talkingsof making some changes among
the other teachers. We understand
that there is some talk of cutting down
the number of teachers in the village
school. We believe that this might be
done without any detl.iment to the
school and If it can it certainly should
be done. The town is settling up quite
rapidly out side of the village and it
will probably be necessary to have one
or two extra schools in the country and
as there was no provisions made for
these N the estimates it will be neces-
Sary to ecOnimiZe in the yillape school
and as we said before we believe that
this can be done without detriment to
1t. Another matter which is taking up
considerable of the attention of the
board is the appointment of ianitor
for the high school building There
are quite number of applications for
this position but as we have been in
formed the appointment lies between

CARRIER PAYS THE TAX.
The Law Makes 1t the Duty of Every
Carrier Company to Hffix 5tarlps
to Bills of Lading-The Purpose of
the Law Is Clearly to Tax the Cor
porations and Not the Shippers

Washington, D. c., July I'm an
swer to inquiries from the commits
sioner of internal revenue, all bearing
upon the question as to- whether the
shipper or carrier shall pay for and affix
the required revenue stamps to bills of
lading, ETC., Asst. Atty.-Gen. Boyd has
held as follows:
The law makes it the duty of every
railroad, steamboat company, carrier,
express company or corporation, Or
person whose occupation it is to act as
such to issue to the shipper, consignor
Or his agent, or person from whom any
goods are accepted for transportation,
a bill&ef lading, manifest or some other
evidence Of the receipt of goods, wares
or merchandise, received for carriages
and transportation, and this. bill of lad
ing, manifest or memorandum requires
a revenue stamp of the value of cent
affixed to it and cancelled. In case of
failure to issue such bill of lading the
laws imposes a penalty Of $50 upon the
carrier guilty of such failure. The
penalty for failure to affiix the stamp is
not more than 500.
"The purpose of the law is clear 1t
was to tax the carrier and not the ship
per, and.these provisions'1ndoubtedly fix
upon the express companies and other
carriers the duty of providing, affixing
and cancelling the stamp. and their
failure to SO provide, afflx and cancel
such stamp subjects them to the penal
ties provided by law. 1t is suggested
that some of these carriers are refusing
to receive goods for shipment until the
shipper pays the tax. While it is not
my province to advise as to the recourse
which the shipper may have in instance
of this kind, yet am sure that the laws
are ample to require public carriers
and express companies to receive goods
rendered for shipment or suffer dam
ages for such refusal. Milwaukee

HONOR TO THE BRAVE
BOYS.

The Salt Lake Tribune has the fol-
lowing beautiful paragraph. 1t is a
deserved tribute to daring men, and a
bit of excellent patriotic philosophy:
Wrapped in their military cloal1s
and covered with palms and flowers,
the dead of the rough riders are sleep
ing in Cuban soil. May they conse-
crate it to a new civilization. May
their blood be accepted as an atone
ment of past wrongs perpetra5ed there:
may the tree Of liberty spring from
their graves and bear fruit through all
the years to come. Nature is merciless
in her reforms. The earthquake, the
tornado, the burning sun, the biting
frosts. are some of her agents. aud in
the moral world Affairs reach n point
sometimes where only through violence
can the soil be ploughed out Of which a
higher and tenderer civilization is to
spring May those deaths have the
compensation Of new liberty to Cuba,
and may the music Of that advance be
a lullaby for their sleep"

space OF eighteen miles, and which
are perpetually beaten by heavy
surge, filled the Portuguese mari
ners with amazement and terror;
and they dared not stretch out into
the open sea in quest Of smoother
water, lest, losing sight OF land al
together, they might perish. 1t is
thought by some that the cape was
regarded by them as barrier, to
warn them not to attempt to pass
to the burning soil and scorching
vapoTs which tradition declared to
characterize the torrid zcne. They
accordingly measured back their
weary steps to Portugal, where
they narrated their proceedings to
Don Henry, in which they doubt
less did not make the least OF the
fearful dangers which they had
encountered.
