bulletin boards to-day failed TO yield any
news Of the movements OF either OF the

War Board is competent TO say. The
general impression to-day Is that no par
ticular effort Is TO be made just now TO
pursue the spaniards so long as they
keep within the confines OF the Gulf Of

Sampson and Schley in combination will
enclrcle the Island OF Cuba, maintain the
