"R. A. ALGER."

At 1:30 O'Clock this afternoon a special
meeting Of the cabinet adjourned at the
White House Little was given out by the
members, but it can be stated positively
tlat a decision was reached that Santiago
must be taken at once, and that longer de-
lay viii not be allowed Rush teIegra ms
were sent frCm the White House by both
Secretaries Alger and Long and these are
believed to have some to the front They
probably instructed the commanding off,
GERS TO begin preparations for operations.
They viii also instruct the officers not to
bother with any more flags OF truce, II
they are intended only Cor the purpose Of
delay.
1t became apparent early in the morning
at the White Houge that something im-
pcrtant was TO be done during the day
Adjutant General Corbin went TO the White
House about 10 o'clock in the morning
with telegram from the front. He looked
grave and serious. and was, for the first
tine inattentive TO the crowd OF news
PAPER men who besieged him, eager to
learn something. A short time later Sec
retary Long walked over to the White
House Secretary Alger followed, and then
Secretary Day stIolled over. The first in
tention Of the President was probably 20
discuss the situation with these officials, but
in short time he sent requests to all
cabinet members in the city to attend an
extra cabinet session Before l. O'Clock
all the cabinet officers in the city were
present. Secretary Bliss was the only alb
seLtee.
Before the entire cabinet was called to the
White House Capt. MahaR- and Admiral
Sicard of the naval war board were sent
for and Were present the greater part of
the time the cabinet session lasted.
All during the morning wild rumors of a
disquieting nature had ficated in the air
and there was a depressed feeling. Nobody
at the White House would talk. At 12:1G
Secretary Alger walked cut of the cabinet
room to the telegraph room Of the White
House and filed dispatches. He declined 70
say anything. Secretary Long followed. He
declared that no news had been received OF
the breaking out OF yellow fever In the

SICK AND WOUNDED.
Men to Be Taken From the Field to
Fort Monroe.

mo arrangement between the national
government and the state of Florida has
been made said Surgeon General Stern
ing the sick and wounded from Skaters
army to the ports of that state for ship
ment north. The authorities, he said, were
simply informed that no additional invalid
ed soldiers would be taken there. 1t never
was the intention to bring the men home
via Florida, but the two vessels the Iro-
quois and the Cherokee, had left Santiago
with their loads of invalids before orders
to the contrary could reach Gen. Shafter
Hereafter, far as at present contem-
plated, the men from the battieiields will be
taken to Fort Monroe and either left there
or sent to some other general hospital for
treatment They will be met at Norfolk by
the hospital train, which is comfortably ar
ranged for transporting the sick and wound
ed to any hospital inland without danger
and in comparative ease.
Mr.. Karl RTdberg, a staff surgeon in tie
royal Swedish navy, who has been to the
front with Gen. Skaters army, has re-
turned to Washington and called on Sur
geon General Sternberg today. DIR. Rud-
berg took an active part in caring for the
sick and wounded on the battlefield and
has nothing but words Of admiration ana
praise for the excellent and skillful manner
in which this was done. BY the asceptic
method of treating the wounded many am
putations of limbs were avoided. The doc
tor is also highly pleased with the ambu-
lance ship Solace operated by the navy

SIBONEE LIES IN ASHES,
Burned by Order of the Army Health
Authorities.

Copyright. 1898, by the Associated Press)
OF Juraguacito, July y, via Kingston,
July 13, 9:4o a m.-The miserable little town
of Juraguacito {siboney) lies in ashes to-
night 1t was burned under the orders of
the army health authorities. Almost every
building of the fifty which struggled along
the irregular bluff was set on fire during
the day, and the Cuban inhabitants have
fled to the caves in the overhanging hill
side for shelter.
The action was taken at the urgent re-
quest of Major Legard of the hospital corps
and served the Joint purpose of ridding the
hospital camp of the unhealthy and dirty
buildings and driving away scores of Cuban
followers, whose presence was serious in
convenience to the hospital workers.
The burning of the houses also extended
along the trail to the front, and numerous
hlockhouses were destroyed, together with
dwellings,.
The action was decided upon last night,
and early this morning the long wooden
building at the extreme east end of the
street-one which had served as division
headquarters during the early days of the
landing and later as a post office-was set
tlre. This building was one of the most I'M
posing in the city, with its long, broad We
randas and well-built stoop, and as the
flames burst from the windows and swept
over the roof the Cuban dwellers in the
neighboring houses began to rush for safe
ty. They were assisted by detachment
of soldiers In removing their effects, and
the buildings were set fire to as rapidly as
vacated.
The old wooden structures would ordi-
narily have burned like tinder, but the
heavy rains made the flames slow in spread
ing. The dwelling houses filled the camp
with sitting black smoke which was visible
for miles.
Iii spite of the protests of the ragged
Cubans. the work of destruction proceeded
steadily ali day.
The building in which field telegraph and
telephone offices were located shared the
common fate.
The work was not completed until after
dark, when the torch was applied to the
last building of the town. The debris will
be cleared away as rapidly as possible and
many more hospital tents will be pitched
on new sites.

BLOCKADE Runner WRECKED.
Capt. Sayvyer's Report 10 the War De-
partment.

The success attending the attempt TO
blockade the entire coast of Cuba is a
source of qualification to the navy 1t is
confidently asserted that since the PreSi-
dents second order extending the blocka.!-
ing lines no substantial aid in the matter OF
food or war supplies has reached the Span
ish forces III Cuba. In some measure this
is chargeable to the energetic efforts Of
the United States consular officers abroad
to prevent the departure of expeditions
gotten uD for the relief of the blockaded
Spaniards. The American consul at Vera
Cruz, for instance, has been particularly
active and has succeeded in holding up the
big steamer Montevideo which is oalinS
at that port with supplies. He is not qu.ic
clear as to the destination of .he boat and
has appealed to the Mexican local auth>,ri-
ties to investigate her character and tf il
is found that she proposes to violate the.
neutrality laws, to prevent her Departure
The vessel is armed and Will prove an as;y
customer for some of our smaller blockad-
iIg craft.
Captain Saw yer, signal officer at Ke,
that the ship San Domingo was wrecked
off the Isle of Pines, Cuba, while irving
to run the blockade. Her nationality IS m
known. Captain Sawyer reports, bur lie be-
lieves she was one of the vessels secured
by General Blanco to run the blockade and
furnish food supplies to his army.

Should the Vesuvius avoid hostile pro-

more sudden and Wholesale slaughter
than any ship in the navy. being the
quickest death-dealing machine af1oat.
The crew of the Holland submarine
boat, should that fish of steel be
brought into service against Spain,
would embark upon a warlike mission
with little or no hope of returning.
Those who would volunteer to man her
would be five of the bravest men in
the navy, willing to sacrifice their lives
without murmur The little craft
would prey only upon the largest Of
hghting vessels. It would go out under
orders to sink one at any risk. Taking
the broad military view, her loss would
simply mean that five Yankees had
exchanged their lives for 500 Spanish
souls-that several thousand dollars OF
our money had taken several millions
of SPANS to the bottom with it The
Holland boats probable errand would
be an attack upon one Of the Spanish
cruisers or the great battleship Pelayo.
In the assault, her coming tower
would remain above water until her
Commander had become assured that
the enemy had her range She would
then extinguish her fires and prepare
for the final stroke-probably her first
and last. She would dive, launch a
torpedo from her bow tube, swim I'M
der her prey and then launch another
from her stern. While escaping she
would doubtless be put to sleep by

or those of surrounding vessels, eager
