TO the United states.
i Washington, July 13.-A special meet.
| ing Of the cabinet has been called. A
var conference with Secretaries Day,
Alger and Long and Admiral Sicard and
Captain Mahgn participating, has been
In continuous session all forenoon. In
pOrtGnt dispatches are being considered.
RumOrs OF disquieting news from Gen
eral Miles are current, aud feeling OF
| depression seems TO peryade the white
| house. IL wGs definitely learned that
there are fourteen suspicious cases OF
fever among the employees of the quar-
termaster'A department near Santiago.
| Pending the determination Of the exact
character OF the fever, those men have
| been Isolated in valley near SibOney
and placed under the care OF immune
doctors and nurses.
| IL was nearly two o'clock when the war
! conference at the white house broke up.
Members Of the cabinet when questioned
| said that the meeting was called 10 dis
cuss the general situation az Santiago.
| General Shatter and his advisers have
| come 10 the conclusion that the enemy
has no idea Of coming TO our terms, and
! the repeated hosting OF flag OF truce
IL done with the single purpose Of delay
! ing a decisive engagement. lt is be-
lieyed that at tO.day's conference IL was
| decided that orders be sent 10 Miles and
ShafteT make general assault upon the
enemy's works az soon as the weather
| permits.
IL Is understood that this assault must
necessarily cost many lives and Il seems
! equally certain that 10 keep the men
much longer In the trenches under the
present weather conditions would be al,
most az disastrous 10 our forces as a
| general engagement.
| fIt Is also believed that without mater
ial improvement in the climatic cOndi-
tions the fall OF Santiago and
the surrender OF the Spanish army
there will close the campaign
against Cuba until the rainy sea
son shall have passed The presumption
Is that with the fall OF Santiago the army
will be re-embarked on transports and
sent to the United States, where the
troops will remain until October, or even
later, before making a general move
ment on Porto Rico or Havana
Meantime our fleets would maintain a
strong blockade of all important Cuban
| ports and thus render their occupation
! much easier than now.
