Nominees.

Talk of prospective candidates has
been revived this afternoon. The nomi-
nation for governor will doubtless go to
either Hon. II. l.. Frank of Butte, Capt.
Frank G. Higgins of Missoula, or Hon..
Joseph X. Tooie of Helena. The Silver
Bow county delegation is strongly in IA
var of Mr.. Frank, and if it succeeds in
landing him it will not insist upon man
from Silver Bow county for treasurer,
but If Mr.. Frank should be defeated
Judge A. H Barrett Will be placed in
nomination for the latter office. The
names of George M. Hayes of Yellow
stone county and A e. Rodgers of Cas-
cade have also been mentioned for treas
urer Various names have been mention
ed for the nomination for associate JUS
tice, among them that of Col. Timothy
OLeary of Anaconda, Judge Bach of
Helena and John B. Clayberg of Helena.
The popuists have slated Thomas Ho-
gan for congress and Ella Knowles Has

who is stopping at Sayville, L: l., talked
today of the Hobson interview, saying:
II hardly think the young man meant
to say anything unkind. and perhaj Ups he
did not say what is said there. The three
vessels he referred to are the 1sla de
Cuba. Isla de Luzon and Don Juan de
Austria. They were the least injured or
the ten twelve ships sunk at Manila.
Naval Constructor Capps, a very able
man, was with me and he and divers and
experts from Hong Kong made an ex-
animation of all the Spanish ships and
decided that these three were worth saw
ing-three out Of dozen. They were
raised and temporary repairs We're made
at Cavite. The vessels proceeded under
their own steam to Hong Kong and had
been there for some time, undergoing
repairs before Hobson saw them. AS a
matter of fact never claimed that we
sunk the ships. l replied that we Destroy
ed them. l did see with my own eyes an
eight-inch shell strike the stern of the
Reina Christina, Admiral Montojo's flag
ship and that destroyed her. 1t Is im-
possible for shells to do much execution
below the water line. or anything but tor
pedoes to do much damage there. A few
inches of water is a great protection.
Armored ships are not armored much be-
low the water line, the water being pros
lection enough from shell.
"I hardly think 1t worth our while to
pay much attention to this. You know 1t
is human nature to depreciate what 9TH
ers have done and Mr.. Hobson may not
have been quoted correctly or in full"
