CABINET HAS It's DISCUSSION

Washington, June 2l.-The cabinet
meeting today developed nothing of great
Importance in the war situation. Off
cial advices have been received of the safe
arrival at Santiago of the transports
with General Skaters army and a con-
ference between the two commanders. If
any dcision was reached as to when the
disembarka ton was to take place It was
not communicated in the cableGrams be-
fore the cabinet meeting. The refusal Of
the Spaniards 10 exchange Lieutnant
Hobson and his comrades is regarded by
members OF the cabinet as a trick to pre-
vent the bombardment Of MORO castle
and as quite in line with the train OF
trickery in the Spanish character. What
further inducements viii be put forward
TO secure their release, If any. are not
known No late news has been received
from the Philippines. but no doubt is
entertained in Official circles that the
first consignment Of troops has already
arrived there. The officials are not ap-
prehensive that Aguinaldo, the rebel lead
ar. viii assume TO dictate in any matters
relating to the government or disposition
of the Islands when captured. On the
contrary. Il is said that the Official in
formation received here leads TO the be-
lief that he Will not question the supreme
authority OF this government and will
cheerfully acquiesce with whatever stems
are taken TO bring the islands under the
jurisdiction and control OF the
United States

After the feet got into the rough waters
of the straits the transports were formed
into three lines about 1000 yards apart,
while 800 yards separated the ships.
The easily advancing transports pre-
scented a very impressive spectacle,
stretching for miles over the blue waters.
1t was one of the largest fleets ever gath
cred together the grim looking men-of-
war lowering like watch-dogs on the out
skirts Of the human-freighted ships.
At night every precaution was taken to
guard against any possible attack. No
lights were allowed on the transports and
the gunboats in the direction Of the shore
were doubled in number. while at fire.
quent intervals shifting searchllghts
swept the waters in the direction of Cuba
in search of hostile vessels. Throughout
the voyage not one Spanish gunboat or
sign of the enemy was seen.
On Friday the conveying fleet of war
ships was reinforced by the Montgomery
and Porter, off Puerto Principe.
The voyage throughout was tedious and
uninteresting. To the weary soldiers, life
on board transports is as unwarllke as a
journey on a fruiter
The spectacle of transferring the sick at
sea was presented on Saturday For four
hours the fleet lay to while the ships

pital-ship Olivette
In the rough waters of the Bahama
channel this work for the little boats was
quite difficult and the hosting Of the
limp forms to the rolling deck of the
Olivette seemed dangerous But it was
accomplished in safety.
The weather throughout the voyage was
excellent and consequently there was little
suffering from seasickness. But fourteen
cases of typhoid fever and some measles
developed. the former being especially On

CARE FOR SICK AND WOUNDED

Washington, June T.-Surgeon General
Sternberg, Of the army, has returned from
New York, where he spent a day IN
thorough examination Of the hospital ship
Relief being fitted out for the use of the
army in the West Indies. The final touch
es are being put on the vessel, and General
Sternberg reports that she will be ready
to leave for her destination which, pre-
sumably. viii be Santiago, the first of noxt
week. The ship is admirably adapted for
the purpose intended, and the general is
more than satisfied with her. The ce-
pacity of the vessel ordinarily is 300 beds,
but under stress of circumstances this
may be doubled and 600 persons accom-
modated The equipment of the vessel
consists of a complete outfit for all kinds
of surgical and other branches of work
which must come under the supervision Of
the hospital branch. One Of the most
desirable features of her equipment is an
ice-making plant with a capacity of about
two tons per day which, in addition to
supplyinb the needs of the vessel, will be
adequate also for furnishing the field hos
pitfalls in the immediate vicinity of the
ship. Then there is a water distilling
plant and also a carbonating plant, the
latter installed with the money given
by one of the relief associations.
The capacity of the latter plant is more
than is necessary for the vessel and the
surplus will be used for the hospitals near
by The navy ambulance ship Solace is
now in Cuban waters and this vessel with
the relief will be used INTERCHANGEABLE so
far as the occasion therefor may arise
Unlike the navy ship, the Relief is dis !

SIGNALLING AT SEA

!
| Washington, June 21.-The reader Of the
daily papers finds frequent reference to
signals exchanged between the war YES
sells of our navy, and the messages con-
veyed by them are often 50 long that
curiosity may be aroused as 20 the means
for transmitting, through the medium Of
signals, so many words as are involved.
It is plain that each cannot be spelled out
by letter flags, for that would make a
string of signals from the top of the mast
to the water, and should every common
word have its proper signal flag, large
portion of the vessel would have 10 be set
aside for the storage of the necessary
bunting. and moreover it would not be
possible to make the flags distinct and
recognizable at a distance. The difficulty
has been overcome by means Of the inter
national code. which employs but eigh-
teen flags, and this is in general use, not
only in the merchant service, but on war
vessels. although each navy has secret
code. founded upon the same system, en-
bracing words and phrases Of strictly ma
val use, and others which might be re-
quired for confidential use, such as open

stated on very good authority that Cen
eral Brooke General Wade and others at
Chickamauga park have recommended to
the war department that no troops be r.
moved from Chickamauga until the date
Of the departure Of an invading expedition
Is fixed. Transports chey think can be
loaded with supplies and ammunition in

TO make the journey. the troops can ne
moved directly from the camp to the
ports and marched at cnce fully equipped
on shipboard. The generals suggest chat
this is a better way than 10 move the
troops 10 the gulf, camp Them again AMI
hold them until the expedition is ready
to start. They believe that a higher de-
gree of efficiency can be maintained by
their plan and that much Of the confu-
sion and delay encountered in the de-
parture from Tampa can be avoided.
The department, il is stated is serious
ly considering the plan, and it is alto
gether probable that it will be accepted.
The New York paymasters were again
at work early this morning. Two more
regiments will likely be finished today,
and the one remaining will be disposed of
tomorrow.
Major R. w. McClaughety, Frederick
Howard Wines, secretary of the state
board of charities of Illinois, and Captain
HartweI Osborne of Chicago, a commit
tee appointed by the Illinois army and
of the Illinois regiments on the field,
have returned home.
These gentlemen have been all over the
battlefield, and were pleased with the
camp and will make a favorable report. !
1t is understood that this league will al |
