THE BOARD OF STRATEGY.
Essay Caigh" Discusses It and Some Other
Things in His Peculiar Style. 7

Among other ,signs of advancement
along civilized lines are wireless
telegraphy and flghtless war. The old
Fashioned plan of conducting hostile
proceedings between nations has been
superseded by strategy boards who
manage things with maps, typewriters
and cigars, all of which suggests some
thing that the readers of the News"
can have without extra charge.
When Mr.. Mckinley (who personally

stance of being in debt. Not that he

COLONEL FRolssTHs LATEST MAP.
It is the Best that Has Ever Been Published
In Utah.

The map which Col. Frolseth has
half or more Is now complete in all its
details and is being delivered to sub
scribers and also offered for sale to the
general public. It Is by far and away
the best map ever published In Utah
and will give ready access to up to date
Information that is very much desired.
1t exhibits the government surveys of
the State up to date by townships,
ranges. sections, meridian and base
lines; the county boundaries and the
numerous new changes therein; all the
organized mining districts, cities, towns,
settlements, post offices, mining camps.
In every county, together with rail-
roads complete and projected Indian
reservations, with their fields of gilson-
lite and asphaltum, mountain ranges;
elevations of the many prominent
peaks; locations of all the lrrigatlons
the canal companies, and their res
voir locations.
The new map plainly shows itself to
be the result of long and careful COM
pilation on the part OF the publisher,
who fl ON his former connection with
the public surveys in Utah has had
every facility for obtaining the most
valuable information for thesamc, and 1t
has been complied from all the official
documents and most recent surveys, In

The great need of the schools, and the

was fully appreciated by the last Leg
!slature, which gave an advance order
for 100 copies OF this map for the use of
the State. and the excellent manner in
which Colonel Frolseth has succeeded
by this production, fully supplies the
want. On the upper margin of the map
engravings are shown of seven of the
principal educational buildings in diff
ferent parts Of the State, besides the
United States survey system, with other
valuable references.

Henry Mccormick. manager Of the

bought two teams, four sets of har-

numerous to MERTON. from the Idaho
Forwarding company. He paid the
cash for what he got. which makes IL
quite n good sized deal. The team
that Mr., Smith bought from our

the teams to go. Mr.. T.. LaRocaue of

opposite Caimanera, and gave formal
notice to the Spanish commander of the
surrender of General Toral's troops, to-
gether with the conditions of the capltu-
lation of Santiago. a limited time wis
fixed for hauling down the Spanish flag
over Caimanera.
The American officer also gave notice
that if the Spanish gunboat was disabled
in anyway or if any arms, ammunition,
public buildings or barracks ut Caimane-
RI or Guantanamo We're destroyed, the
Spaniards would not be treated is pris-
oners of war. The flag was hauled down
this afternoon.
From Spanish sources it is learned that
the total force in Guantanamo and Cal
manera is about 5000, of which num-
Der, however. only about 5000 are fit
for service, the others being disabled by
sickness of wounded.
Tomorrow steps will be taken for the
formal surrender. What disposition will
be made of the prisoners has mot yet
been determined because of the presence
of yellow fever among them. a rigid
quarantine will be maintained: and it
is probable that transports for the re-
moval of the prisoners will be sent mp
