SET THE PEOPLE AN EXAMPLE.
The President and the Members of His Cabinet Attended the Thanks
 giving and Prayer Services

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The Ameri can flag tloated over the White House and the war and navy departments yes terday, an unusual thing for sab- bath, but sign of the times. It was reminder of the presidents call upon the people of the land to celebrate the glorious achievements of the American army and navy. The president him. self and the members of the cabinet | led the way in the observance of the terms of his proclamation by repairing to thelr respective places of worship and offering up thanks for the success that has attended a righteous cause, and prayers for a continuance of tn manifestation of Divine favor. In the war department Adit-Gen. Corbin was busy at his desk, as he has been every day and half of every night since the.war began.
 It was not expected that hostilities would reopen at Santiago yesterday. No message came during the day from the army in Cuba until 4:3O o'clock, when Secretary Alger received a cable gram from Gen. Shafter and immedi- ately sent it to the president. The sec retary said the cablcgram indicated there was no change in the situation and expressed the opinion that there would bc no fighting yesterday
 Gen. Shafter, he said, occupied an impregnablc position, and did not fear an attack. The matters contained in the cablegram beyond that he did not care to make public.
 The secretary at six o'clocx went home and said he expected nothing i'm portant last night. It was expected that Gen. Shafter would await the ar rival of the endorsements now rapidly nearing his command and expected to reach i'm tonight or Tuesday morn ing.
 Gen. Shafter reported last week that he needed more artillery to insure the success of his plans and, as Randolph's batteries arrived only Saturday. two or three days time would be req quired to land them from the steamers and transport them over the rough noun tain roads to the position selected for them on the heights commanding nan- tiago.
 There is no disposition to invite dis aster and unnect ssary bloodshed by the neglect of proper precautions and by failing to utilize all of the power that can be brought into play by he American army.
