THE CITY OF SANTIAGO.
Brief Description of It's Appsarane:
 and It's Harbor.

Washington, July 10.-Any enc who has steamed into the harbor of Santiago can we'll understand that a dozen fleets might lie Ehere for months, completely lost to the outside world, SO far as it was possible to ascertain their location by cruising of the en- trance.
 Velasquez, when he fixed upon the site for the ancient capital of Cuba, twenty-two years after the discovery of the new world, displayed sound judgment He quickly recognized the great natural advantages afforded by the harbor as safe hiding place. From the open sea neither harbOr nor city is visible
 The entrance itself cannot be dis cerned, except at close quarters, and no skipper is mad enough to attempt to make his way in by night. It was usual to lie off for daylight, and in the event of two or more thus wait ing all kinds of tricks were resorted to in order to get to the entrance first, since only one could safely pass in at a time through the marrow channel. 1S0 yards wide, beneath the frowning walls of Morro. Pedrodela Rosca, as far back as 1640, built this fortress. Adjoining the Moro was a small fortifcation resembling a star in shape and known as La Betteria de la Estrel- la, while on the mountain opposite was La Socapa castle, which was not until recently of much consequence as a defense.
 Before one reaches Cayo Smith, 8 little island once held by the British, used by the residents of Santiago in prosperous times as watering place. two more batteries were mounted on the east side of the channel Perched on the shore of a tiny bay under the guns of the forts was the cable hut of the three ompanies-French. Cuba Submarine and West India and Pan anna represented in Santiago. On a point further down the harbor, where it is necessary for vessels to make a sharp curve, a tug sometimes being utilized to push around the ships bow, was the Punta Gorda battery.
 After passing this spot it is some what easier sailing. The bay opens to width of two miles, and the re-

mainder of the six miles, which is the distance from end to end, can be per formed at speed faster than the slow and cautious movement neces- sary to pass the tortuous channel and avoid the shoals. Just at the entrance to the bay is a small island known aS Isla de Ratoneo (the Isle of Rats). on which some time ago was building used as a powder magazine, where the explosives since utilized in mining the harbor and it's approaches were stored. It seems improbable, how ever. that any quantity of explosives would be there now. There were5. no forts on the western side of the hafs Dor, but nearly opposite the city is inc coal depot and convaaescemt hospital To the east is modern fort of mason ry, Punta Blanca, and at spots in the city, like the market place, command ing the harbor, guns were mounted.
 The city is built on a hill, and pre- sents a picturesque appearance from the harbor. On a close inspection. however, the buildings do not realize the expectations one might have formed, being far inferior, architect urally and otherwise to those of Ha- Vdna, While the streets and sanitary conditions generally are wretched.
 Mountains surround the city on three sides, those to the westward af- fcrding magnificent base of attack. but the difficulties Of transporting arr tillery were immense. What roads there are have been allowed to falt into shocking disrepair. and th troops encounter 10 ordinary hard. ships in making descent upon the city. There is a wharf at Baiuuiri. a few miles west of Santiago, where the iron ore is loaded and where tkt American troops made the landing. This might be point suited for mak- ing an effective landing. and the rail- road, being close at hand, could be put to good use.
 If the harbor has been forced, the batteries silenced and feet defeated the capture of the city will be a mat ter attended with slight trouble.

WAR TELEPHONES
Signal Corps Has Put Up Three Lines
 of Communication.

Washington, July 10.-The ofI1cera of the Signal Corps with Shafter's army are keeping pace fully in estab- fishing telephonic communication i1t every direction where the army makes it's move. A dispatch was received from Major Green, who is the Signal Corps officer on Shafter's staff, show ing that three lines of telephone wire have been established and that they extend up to within 200 yards of the advance works of the American army The officials have an adequate supply of telephones with them, and are put ting these instruments up as rapidly as the wires are stretched. Major Greens dispatch was dated at the headquarters of the army near Santi- ago, and came to the United States via Playa del Este. He adds that he found the telephones in the captured Spanish intrenchments of Santiago in perfect form.

 Admiral Cervera Is confined to th= cabin, having been quite i'll for the past three days. Captain Eulate, who was the commander of the Vizcaya, and who is among the prisoners, is also quite i'll, having bsen wounded in the head.
 All of the Spanish commissioned Of ficers have been on parole and had the freedom of the ship with one excep- tion, and he was the governor of San tiago de Cuba, who was trying to es- cape from the city on Admiral Ger vera's flagship when she was de- stroyed. He refused to sign parole papers and was consequently confined in one of the cabins under guard.

CERvERA SAILS FURTHER.

Annapolis, July 10.-Captain P. R. Cooper, superintendent of the naval academy, has completed his prepara- tions for tlhe care of eighty Spanish officers, including Admiral Cervera. Just how much liberty will be ac- corded them while here has not been definitely settled, but the disposition of the authorities is to treat them with all possible leniency and to make their enforced stay in Annapolis as pleasant as it is possible under the cir- cumstances.

and men in proportion to their pay. As the law provides that all vessels within signal distance of the action and in condition to render aid share in the prize money, it is likely that most of the fleet will profit by the Spanish defeat
 In the case of the torpedo boat da- stroyeFs Furor and Pluton, which were knocked to pieces by the converted yacht Corsair, the superior force was obviously on the Spanish side, there fore the bounty will be $200 per capita for those on board the destroyers. Probably the complement <of the two ships was 1855 men, making that bounty $27. .OOO.

NOT A HOSTILE ACT
The Battle Ship Maine to Ride the
Billows in Front of Havana.

blllOWS IN 'FRONT.' OF havana.
The powers at Washington have
at last ordered a battle ship to
Havana, and although the reports
have gone out that it was not done
as a hostile act, still it was a needed
Iprecaution on the part Of our
/ government to protect American
interests there and be a warning TO
the Spaniards that one overt act
on their part would be a signal for
a broad-side from our guns.
Minister DeLome, while he feels
chagrined over the battle ship de-
parture for Hayana, puts the best
face on the matter that he can aud
says he does not regard the sailing
of the vessel to Cuba, as an act Of
hostility, aud even those in COM
mand, at Washington, say that the
Maine is sent to Cuba on a friendly
visit,
1t is known ;however that the
United States has assembled at
Key West, the most formidable
fleet of war ships that has been
gotten together in our home waters
for years. The fleet Is made up of
the North Atlantic squadron,
under the command of Admiral
Sicard, flagship New York, first,
class battleships Iowa, Indiana,
Massachusetts, second class bat
tleships Maine and Texas; cruisers
Detroit and Montgomery; dispatch
boat Fern and the torpedo boat
hotilla, composed of the Gushing,
Ericsson, Dupont and Porter which
will be reinforced in few days by
the Foote. The big protected
cruiser Brooklyn, almost equal to a
battleship herself, is being fitted
out at the New York navy yard, !
and Captain Cook, who commands |
the ship, was at the navy depart
ment this morning expected to sail |
the latter part of this week to Join |
Admiral Sicard's squadron. The !
gunboat Nashville and the training
ship Essex are at Port Royal, S. c.,
within easy call, and the entire
navy may be said to be in a state
of preparedness for emergency
that is gratifying to the officers in
view of the limited resources placed |
in their hands by congress.
The Maine, which has been |
selected to make the visit to
Havana for the protection of |
American interests, is a battleship |
of the second class and is regarded |
as one of the best ships in the new
navy. She was built at the Brook
lyn navy yard and is 318 feet long
81 feet broad, ZIG men draught and |
6,682 tons displacement. She has
two 10-inch vertical Eturrets and |
two military masts and her motive
power is furnished by twin screw
vertical triple expansion engines,
having maximum horse power of
| 8, ,923, capable of making speed of
II, 10 knots. She carries four 10
inch and six 4-inch breech-loading
guns in her main battery and seven
6-pounders and eight 1-pounder
rapid fire guns and four Gatlings in
her secondary battery and four
without torpedoes.

fall of the rain. He promises to
give all the streets his best atten-
ton when the ground gets so that

What is claimed to be an impor-
tant discovery in the battle of
science against tuberculosis before
the Orange Mountain Medical So
clety, at Brick Church, N. j.
Many eminent New York special
lists in lung diseases were present.
DIR. ]. Edward Stubbart, the spec
ials in charge of the LOOMS Sani-
tarium for consumptives at Liber-
ty, N. Y, made the demonstration.
For several months he has employ
ed the Roentgen rays for the pur-
pose of examinging the lungs OF
the sufferers of the Sanitarium
He assets that the Roentgen
rays shows the presence of the dis.
ease In its most incipient form and
long before the existing methods
find any trace. The physicians
present displayed great interest in
this claim, it being urged that if
the disease can be located in its
earlier stages, the chance of ulti-
mate cure are greatly improved.
In its normal stage, the lung is not
pictured by the Roentgen rays,
but when attacked by tuberculln
the diseased portions are shown
the same as bone or any impene-
trable object. The stages of the
disease, as exhibited by the tests
on the five patients, were shown by
the varying density of the shadows

Governor Steunenberg has issued a
proclamation designation May 9th as
Arbor Day. A section Of the proclama-
tion reads; -
"The wisdom of our legislators in des-
ignating aday to be celebrated in Idaho
as Arbor Day has never been questioned.
With us it is not only an evidence of
beautiful, ennobling sentiment. but of
great prsctibility and usefulness. Lavish
as nature. has been, in her gifts to our be-
loved commonwealth, it appears that in
the important particular of sylvan re-
sources we have been denied, and that
man must plant, foster and nourish.
Especially is this true in the sections of
our state that are most populous.
''It shall be the duty Of the authorities
of every public school in this state to
assemble the scholars in their charge on
that day in the school school building,
or elsewhere as they may deem proper,
and to- provide for and conduct, under
the general supervision of the county
superifitendents of public instruction,
such exercise as shall tend to encourage
the planting, protection and preservation
OF trees and shrubs, and an acquaintance
with the best methods to be adopted to
accomplish, such results"
