OFF FOR BRIGHAM CITY.
Sheriff Davis Gets -Four Men Suspected Of
Burglary.

Sheriff Davis Of Boxelder county
came down to Salt Lake today for the
purpose of taking back with him four
prisoners in the persons of Terrence
Jones, Warren Little. James Fisher
and J. C. Dular. arrested by Officers
Gillespie and Parry, suspected of n
Brigham City burglary.
The men occupied q room in the Salt
Lake House on west. Second South
street. and had therein 90 watches, four
pairs of spectacles. n number of wire
lamp-chimney cleaners, and several
dozen pairs Of stockings. As the two
latter articles do not belong to the
Thompson jewelry store, burglarized at
Brigham City, 1t is quite evident the
men have been guilty of looting other
establishments.
Sheriff Davis thinks he has the right
men, and will leave with his charges
this evening.

THE POWERS IN AFRICA.
How The Dark Contincnt is Divided Among
Them.

NV. T. Stead in the independently
British Africa can be variously des-
scrlbed-geographic politically, eth
nOlogically and religiously. But the
simplest definition is this, all Africa
that Is comfortably habitable by
white men is under the British flag or
under British protection. And again,
everything inAfrica that pays dividends
lies within the sphere pegged out for
John Bull by his adventurous sons.
Wherever In Africa you find land in
which whIte-skinned children can be
bred and reared, you will find 1t lies
within the British zone. And wherever
there Is in Erica any paying property,
that also will be found TO be within the
same sphere of influence. All of Africa
that Is habltable and all OF Africa that
pays its way, that Is British Africa.
The other nations have scrambled for
John Bulls leaviLgs. France, for in
stance, has annexed the Sahara, In her
West African colony of Senegal every
fifth European Is French official
Germany has annexed 100000 square
miles of desert in the southwest and
400. 900 of semi tropical land In the east;

Portugal has quite an empire of NAL
arial marches on both coasts. Belgium
has the Congo Free State, masnifi-

Africa which needs fs0,000 a year sub

ing the subsidy, has run up debt Of

UP FROM MOAB.
Henry Holyoak Talks Of Conditions and Pros
poets in Grand County.

Henry Holyoak, one Of Grand coun-
tvs enterprlsing and Industrious citi-
zens, is UP from his home in Moab.
He arrived In Salt Lake last evening
and reports conditions and prospects
in the Grand country as being very
satisfactory.
Agricultural products OF all kinds
are doing excellently and have been
greatly benefited by recent ruins,
which, however, were not so heavy AZ
here and in other sections of the State.
In the fruit line there will be heavy
yield. Strawberries are ripe. cherries
are ripening. the peach crop will l. be
heavy, plums still heavier. and apples
fair. The grape crop will be lighter
than usual owing to the extremely
cold weather of last winter.
As the snow disappears from the
mountains prospectors are going into
the La Sails. About one hundred
miners are in there now and Some
good discoveries and assays are re-
ported. Robbers Roost desperadoes

SCnLEY IS HEARD FROM

to Admiral Sampson.
NE CONTENTS NOT YET MADE PUBLIC,
Jntimation Is Strong that He Has the Span

OF the Northern Coast of Cuba. May
q. Q a. M, via Key West.-At 10
o'clock last night the Dolphin ran
alongside the flagship New York" Her
fight showed that she bore dispatches
for Rear Admiral Sampson. The COM
mander of the Dolphin shouted through
the megaphone:
II have dispatches from Commodore
Schley to the commander-in-ohief.
A cheer went up from the crowded
decks
Commodore schley's dispatches were
dated off Cienfuegcs.
absolutely nothing definite can ne
mid" was the reply which Captain
Chadwick. of the New York, made 10
4 question as to what had transpired'
Since he heard of Admiral Cervera
arrival at Curacao, Rear Admira'
Sampson has repeatedly said he be-
lieved the spanlards would go to Glen
fuegos or Santiago. To prove ths
American admiral was almost sure the
Spanish would be caught, the following
can be divulged without n breach OF
confidence:
When the ships Of Commodore
Schley's division were sailing out oil
Key West under Rear Admiral samp-
sons orders, the admiral set this sig
nal to Captain Phillips, OF the Texas;
"You are going to nab the spaniards,
and good luck to you"
Since then Rear Admiral Sampson
has been cruising around as a purely
precautionary measure. He thorough
ly believed Commodore Schley would
bottle up the Spaniards either in Glen
fuegos or at Santiago, but he took all
measures to guard against possible
evasion of Commodore Schley by the
enemy and any attempt to make Ha-
vana through the eastern or western
passage. though there Is little DOUBT
chat the commodore, had he met the
Spanish ships, could have defeated
them
There is good reason to believe from
a strategic point OF view. that more
can be gained by the Spaniards being
bottled up in Santiago than In an en-
Ragcment which. though 1t would re-
suit in victory for the Americans.
might have resulted in some damage
to our ships.
In the harbor of Santiago the Span
ish fleet will be helpless The channel
leading into the harbor Is narrow, and
the enemy can either be kept pris-
oner there, by sinking a few hulks in
the channel. or he can be destroyed by
a superior force.

ON AN INSURANCE Policy.
Trial of the Case OF Mary f. Brown agains,
the Fraternai Accident Association.


Judge Cherry and jury have been
engaged to day trying the case OF Mary
L. Brown against The Fraternal Ac-
cident Association OF America. Powers,
Straup e. Lippman appeared for the
plaintiff and Williams, Van Colt Il
Sutherland are looking after the in
terests OF the defendant association.
Plaintiff sues to recover the sum of
$1,000. with interest, alleged to be due
as damages sustained as the bene-
ficiary of a certain policy of insurance.
Issued by the association to plaintiffs
husband, Campbell NJ. Brown, In Aug
ust, 1893. Mr.. Brown died in March,
1894. when plaintiff notified the defend
ants, but payment of the policy was
refused. The policy provided against
accidents, and that II death should re-
suit from injuries within ninety days,
the defendants were to pay Mrs. Brown
$1,000. 1t is then set out that on the
goth day of February, 1894. Mr.. Camp
bell sustained fall on one of the side
walks of Salt Lake City, which affected
his lungs and caused acute empyema,
resulting in his death on the 18th of
March following.
The defense denies the accident, or
that the death OF Mr.. Brown resulted
from 1t. 1t is further commended that
a number of the policys provisions
We're violated, one of which was the
notifying of the company of the acct
dent within ten days afterwards, and
the other was that no physician of its
had been permitted to examine the
body in order to determine what caused
death.

motion for a non-suit when the News
