WITH THE ART|LLERYMEN,
MEN OF BATTERY C FIGHT AN
OTHER BRUSH FIRE.
The Soldiers Are Living Well and
the Health of the Command Is
Excellent, But All Are Anxious
to Get Away.

The battery boys at Fort Douglas
had another fight with a brush fire
yesterday morning, furnishing a diver
sion for the monotonous camp life.
Right after drill in the afternoon a
brisk fire started near the post ceme-
terry and Lieutenant Stacey was de-
tailed to take the battery over and put
it out. The flames hadLsathered con-
siderable Roadway by the time the boys
arrived on the ground and only by harG
work did they succeed in extinguish-
ing =.
Fires on the reservation are getting
to be a nuisance. The regulars have to
combat them every few days. The
sagebrush is dry and once started the
fire spreads with great rapidity. The
batterymen worked for two hours,
getting home just before supper ana
were a tired lot. They feel as though
they would rather fight Spaniards than
flames.
CAPTAIN Jennings has had no word
from Washington and there is as much
uncertainty as to the time when the
battery will move as ever. 1t is very
disheartening to the majority of the
recruits who joined for active service
and are anxious to go to the front or
any old place except Fort Douglas

tinues good and they have an abund-

UTAH CREAMERY BUSINESS
A. COMBINATION CT THE DAIRY
INTERESTS EFFECTED.
The Result Is That Thirty Thousand
Pounds of Utah Cheese and the
Same Amount of Butter Is Now
On the Frisco Market.

For many years Utah imported much
of the butter and cheese that was con-
sumed within her borders, and while
there was universal regret that such
was the case, but a few feeble efforts
were put forth 10 check it. After a
few of the most venturesome farmers
and others of Cache valley had demon
strated to those in waiting that cream
cries were a good thing and should be
pushed along, as they gave the farmers
all opportunity of disposing of their
milk while it was yet fresh. others
started up, and of late Utah has had
butter and cheese for export in much
greater quantities than We're at one
time thought possible. Even small
quantities found their way into adjoin-
ing states and territories, but this was
after they had been disposed of to some
storekeeper, and as it was all bought in
small lots, the grade, or rather grades,
were not always the most desirable
often very unsatisfactory.
A combination of the dairies from
Idaho on the north to Manti on the
south was made a few days ago by
Henry ]. Faust, jr., and the result is
that $4,000 pounds of Utah butter and
the same amount of Utah cheese is now
on the San Francisco market, and re-
ports from there are to the effect that
it gives excellent satisfaction. The
shipment flied two cars. Mr.. Faust is
of the opinion that a big trade can be
built up with California and Colorado
towns. and he futher says that just
as soon as Utah creameries can be as
sured of a market, there will be many
more built, and much of the milk that
is now comparatively wasted will go
into the creameries. There are many
farmers who would gladly add several
COWS to their stockyards and will do
so just as soon as they see that they
can make money by it.

DAVIS CASE REOPENED.
Suit For Half the Estate Will Now Be
Tried.

Butte, Mont. July 22.-In a ruling
made by Judge Dehaven in the United
States court today, the entire Andrew
j. Davis estate litigation is reopened,
after the matter was thought to have
been amicably arranged. and nearly a
million dollars of the property divided
among the relatives. The case in
which the ruling was made was that
of Erwin Davis of New York, brother
of the dead millionaire, against Andrew
j. Davis, jr.. and other nephews, who
came in as heirs under the will Err
win Davis sues for half the great es-
tate, alleging that he was promised
that much for fighting the claims of a
number Of alleged children, and bring
ing about a division of the property
The will. which was alleged to have
been forged, after long fight, was
admitted TO probate by agreement of
the relatives of the dead man. Last
winter the state court ordered a par
tial distribution. and nearly a million
was divided. Erwin Davis suit was
pending at the time in the federal
court. The defendants sought TO knock
it out of court on demurrer. It was
this demurrer Judge Dehaven over
ruled. This allows the suit to be tried
upon its merits. If Erwin Davis wins,

the money already divided.

BLANco's PROCLAMATION.
Official Announcement of the Surren-
der of Santiago.

Havana, July 22.-Captain General
Blanco has issued the following proc
lamation, announcing the capitulation
of Santiago. 1t is dated Havana, July
II:
After three months heroic defense
and many bloody combats, owing to
scarcity of ammunition and victuals.
the garrison of Santiago de Cuba has
been forced to capitulate, under honor
able conditions and with the honors of
war. This occurred on the 10th of July,
when it was recognized by the brave
Spanish general Of the division, who
was acting commander of the place,
that resistance was useless, and that he
could no longer hold the place. Not
withstanding that reinforcements had
been possible and that, although he
should receive such from ManZanillo,
and although he should still cover fur
Their losses and bloody combatS, and al
though he might put the city in a bet
ter condition of defense, he was still
face to face with the fact that rein
forcements would only make inroads
upon the already greatly consumed and
nearly exhausted store of provisions of
the Spanish garrison. The city was
thus placed in a very iamentable condi-
ton. The situation was anticipated,
Spanish forces.
THE occupation of the city of San
tiago by the military forces of the
Americans is lacking in strategic i'm
portance, owing to the fact that the
city had previously been closely block
AIDED for a long time by the American
ships, and will have little or no effect
on the development of the Spanish
campaign which is to decide Spain's
fate. The Spanish army is intact and
eager for glory. 1t is willing to meas
ure arms with the Americans, and in
this army the king of Spain, the Span
ish government and the whole country
places the trust Of defense at any cost
of the integrity of Spanish territory
and the honor of Spain's Immaculate
flag.
This army is sure to be triumphant
and victorious That at last, in spite
of so many dangers and impediments,
il will show once more the indomitable
Spanish bravery and well known mill
tary talents of our people is the hope
and expectation of your general-in-
chief.

ANOTHER BAY OCCUPIED.
Nipe Captured and Spanish Cruiser
Destroyed.

Washington, July 22.-The following
message has been received at the navy
department:
playa del Este, July 22.-Expedition
TO Nipe has been entirely successful
although the mines had not been re-
moved for want of time. The Spanish
cruiser Jorge Juan, defending the
place, was destroyed without loss on
our part.
The Annapolis and Wasp afterwards
proceeded from Nipe to assist in the
landing of the commanding general of
the army on arrival at Porto Rico.
SAMPSON"
The brief report from Admiral Samp-
son. declaring the success of the ex-
petition to Nipe is really more impor-
tant than appears on the surface. The
bay of Nipe lies on the north coast of
Cuba, almost directly across the island
from Santiago. II is proposed to es-
tablish l,ase there, which viii save
at least two days time in getting sup
plies into Cuba, as compared with the
Santiago route. 1t will also form a
good point of operation against Hol-
guin, not far distant. and if it should
develop unfortunately that 4 restrain
ing hand must be laid upon the Cubans
themselves, Nipe, in connection with
Santiago, would be an effective means
of doing this.
