directions for the preparation at Fort

for 500 patients in addition to those
now available post hospitals on the
government reservation at that place.
At present accommodate will be
obtained by using number of tents
with floors. which during the summer
season will serve all purposes neces-

will have charge and will be given all
the assistance he requires.
Fortress Monroe is considered an ex.

BREATHE PURE AIR.
The Necessity For Filling the Lungs at
Each Inhalation.

+ ( q . i . !
The Necessity For Filling the Lungs at
Each Inhalation.
Breathe pure air always In the lungs
a most important physiological process
occurs. 1t is from here that~the blood
laden with oxygen is sent to all parts Of
the body, giving off along its course its
oxygen and taking up carbonic acid gas,
which it brings at last to the lungs,
when it is cast ont in expiration. More
oxygen is taken in by inspiration and
the same process is repeated
So let your breathing be full and deep,
going to the very bottom of the lungs
in order that all of the blood in them
may receive it's full amount of oxygen
before again starting upon it's tour of
distribution through the body. Can one
use any more forcible argument in favor
Of loose clothing than this? 1t is abso-
lutely impossible to secure plenty of
oxygen if the clothing is worn at all
tight, and oxygen is a food which the
body must have always in abundance to
keep well.
The air leaving the lungs is laden with
that deadly poison carbonic acid gas,
which if given off in close room when
no provision is made for it's escape and
the entrance of pure air soon renders
the air utterly unfit to breathe Perhaps
some night you will find yourself I'M
able to sleep and tumble restlessly about
in bed. When this occurs, go to an open
window and inhale the fresh air, breath
ing slowly and deeply. A few minutes
OF this and you can return to bed and
probably will soon be sleeping quietly.
What has happened? By it's restlessness
the body was asserting it's need of more
oxygen. Now you have given it what
it SO emphatically asked for, and it is
quiet. We get as much uneasiness and
disturbance from the want of this food
as when we do not eat enough, only the
symptoms are not SO well understood
nor recognized so quickly. Always keep
your mouth closed and breathe through
your nose. Then the air is warmed,
slightly moistened and largely freed
from particles of dust, so that when il
enters the lungs it does not irritate
them.
A condition often met with by ply,
sicians is anamia. In this trouble the
patient is pale, lifeless looking, tired
and generally used up, often without
being able to tell distinctly how she
does feel. Sometimes these patients say
that they have not enough blood. 1t il
really only an element of the blood
which is wanting, but that is a very
important one-namely, the red blood
corpuscle.
When you know that it is only those
corpuscles which have the power to take
up and carry oxygen, you see at once
how important it is that the BLOOD
should not be lacking in them. Good
wholesome food, plenty of it and wei
digested will give you the corpuscles
Furnish them with the oxygen and thu
body will have an important elemen
toward health. What to Eat.

In the Face of Spanish Reinforce

1t Unwise.
So, Also, Did the Officials at
Washington---Will Await

Which will be Hurried Forward
as Fast as Ships Can

WASHINGTON, July 6.--There has
yet, and possibly there will not be
any during the present week.
This is the opinion of members of the
cabinet as expressed on leaving the
White House after the cabinet meet
ing. Secretary Alger and Secretary
Long have been in almost constant COM
munication with General Shafter and
Admiral Sampson upon the situation,
and the conclusion has been reached
that it would not be advisable to carry
the city by storm with our present
forces. General Shafter, in asdispatch,
confirmed the report that General Pam
do, with about 5000 Spaniards had ar.
rived in the city and were already dis
tributed among the Notifications. This
reinforcement makes the Spanish forces
defending the city from sixteen to eigh.
teen thousand. The very great advan-
tage of heing entrenched adds materi-
ally to their strength, and, in the opin.
ion of military men, makes their effect
i've fighting force from third to half
greater than our own.
Heat Worse Than Spaniards.
General Shafter, in his dispatches,
states that the excessive heat and rains
of the last two weeks have contributed
nearly as much as the Spanish bullets
to the ineffectiveness Of our army.
Under these circumstances, it is his
opinion that it would be unwise to at
tempt to carry the the city by ASSAULT.
This view is shared by the officials
here, and also it is understood by AID.

Orders were also given looking to the
immediate dispatch of troopships from
Tampa with reinforcements for Shat
ter, and others now off Santiago will be
brought here by the earliest possible
moment to aid in the transportation OF
reinforcements. 1t is expected $4,000
will be sent forward as rapidly as
transportation can be provided. Thus
augmented, there seems to be nc
doubt the forces under General Shafter
will be able to storm and take the city
without delay. These are the views
entertained by members of the cabinet,
who talk freely on the subject New.
ertheless, the orders under which both
the army anil navy are now operating
give the commanders wide discretion,
and it is not doubted that should

be begun.
A senator who talked with the mil.
itary officials said there was no doubt
of the outcome if the American fleet
could get inside the harbor, and thus
place the city between the land and
sea bonn bardments.

VIEWED THE SPANIARDS.

War Balloon Observations Stated to
Have Been Very Successful.
New YORK, July "A dispatch to
The Press from Siboney, Cuba, June
So, via Playa del Este, says: For the
first time in the history of the United
States war balloon was sent up this
afternoon, making observations of in.
calculable benefit to G eneral Shafter's
force in the field occupied by the enemy
and over the doomed city OF Santiago.
It was manned by two members OF the
signal corps. OF all the reconnaisances
made inside the Spanish lines by such
spies from our army, no information
brought back by them has been so val
liable as that obtained by the observers
in the balloon.
The balloon was sent up from an
open, elevated space not far from Gen.
eral Skaters headquarters, near
Siboney. While it scared in the air,
seeming to almost touch the cloudless
sky, fully 1900 feet above ground. it
was in plain view of the army, navy
and the men on warships lying eff the
coast. They watched it with the great.
est interest and no doubt it was with
mixed feelings of wonder and fear that
the officers and men in the Spanish
army, in Cervera's feet and the people
in Santiago viewed it soaring oCer the
territory held by them.
Spanish Shots Fell Short.
The men in the balloon were soon
aware that they had been sighted by
the Spaniards, for messengers ran
about, and shots, evidently from ma.
chine guns, were aimed at them. The
swaying OF the great gas bag and the
effect of the gravity, however, pre-
vented any of the projectiles from hit
ting it and the Spaniards soon gave up.
evidently not wishing to waste ammu'
milton.
With their telescopes the Spanish
warships, the camps and the city were
brought into close range, but all the
information gained is in the possession
of General Shafter and some OF the
mem bers of his staff. Sketches ano
maps were drawn showing the enemy
location.

ing Until the Positions Were
Occupied.
Place Was a Spanish Stronghold
Well Fortified and Valiantly
Defended,
But Spanish .Valor Had to
Yield to Anglo-SaXOn
Tenacity.

NEW YORK, July "A copyrighted
dispatch to The Evening World, dated
S.In the Field, Two Miles, from Santi-
sago, July l, and cabled from Playa del
Este, says:
San Juan heights have fallen and
ahe way is now opened for an advance
ION Moro castle. 1t was a glorious vic.
tory, but very dearly purchased.
The place was the strongest Spanish
outpost, well fortified and valiantly de-
Tended. The position was an excellent
zone. San Juan hill is steep and an ar
-tillery battery was located on it. 1t
was also occupied by barracks and
~other buildings.
But the American troops stormed the
heights and Spanish valor had to yield
to the bull dog tenacity and courage of
the Anglo Saxon.
As write our troops are swarming
mp the hill and covering it like ants.
The Spaniards are demorahzed. The
fighting has been Of the hardest kind,
and our troops have suffered severely,
but the enemy's works are in their
hands and they do not count the cost.
Ell Caney is also ours. The general
advance, which began at = p. M. has
been successful all along the line.
After driving the enemy out of FL
SCaney the troops took possession of the
village and destroyed the Spanish fort
by which it had been defended. The
The Spaniards fed into the City of
Santiago, where they now are.
Our losses are heavy. An officer from
the field estimates our killed and
wounded at over 1000 men. Shells,
supposedly from the Spanish feet, did
heavy execution among our troops.
