WILL GET THE CABLE.
Japan's Application Is Likely
to Be Granted.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Most careful
consideration is being given to the ap-
plication of the Commercial Cable COM
pany, made on behalf of Japan, to land
a cable on the Island of Guam to con-
meet at that point with the American
cable Last evening the president, Sec
retary Hay and Secretary Taft had a
conference on the subject. AS hereto
fore indicated the question of the neu-
trality of this government in the Russo
Japanese war is an important factor in
the consideration of the application. 1t
is not probable, therefore, that if the
application should be granted some con-
ditionS may not be attached to the per-
mission as to it's use for military pur-
poses. 1t is said today that no conclu-
sion had yet been reached by this
government respecting the application,
but it is regarded as certain that in
some form, it eventually will be granted.

Three Ofthe Four Hen Convicted

Given Penalty of Two Years In

FINE OF $4,000 EACH.
A Motion for a New Trial Was
OverruIed,
Except in the Case of Samuel
A. Croft.
FINE OF $4,000 EACH.
Appeal Is Taken and Bonds Are
Fixed at $4,000.

Washington. Feb. 27.-Justice Pritch-
ard this afternoon sentenced Machen,
Diller B. Groffs and Lorenz each to TWO
years Imprisonment in the penitentfary
and to pay a fine of $4,000 each. The
court decided to make the several counts
in the indictment constitute one offense.
The case of Samuel A. Croft has not
been decided. The beginning of their peni-
tentiary sentence is to date from the
time of their arrival at the penitentiary.
When the postal cases were called in
the criminal court today for the pro-
nouncing of sentence on the four men
convicted last night, the counsel for the
defense moved for a new trial The mo-
ton was overruled as to all of the de-
PENDANTS except Samuel A. Croft, whose
motion was left for further and separate
consideration After noting exception
the defense made a motion to arrest
judgment. This motion was overruIed
except as to Samuel A. Croft, whose mo-
ton will be considered later Excep-
tions were noted by the defense and
after arguments as to the sentence that
should be pronounced the court took a
recess until this afternoon.
In ordering the recess Judge Pritch-
ard said he was satisfied that the YER
dict of the jury was correct but he
was not certain as to whether he had
the power to impose penalty on more
than one count of the indictments and
he would reach a conclusion on the
point soon- There are twelve counts in
the Indictment.
All three defendants gave notice of
appeal and furnished bonds in the sum
of $40, 900.
Samuel A Croft, the fourth defend
ant, has been allowed four days in
which to prepare his case on motions
for new trial and arrest of judgment.
