The Marblehead lay off the shore. A ragged escort of Cuban soldiers met them on landing, but of United States soldiers. except in the sense that off, cers of the highest rank in the army are soldiers, there was not one.
 It is a historical moment in the his tory of Cuba, if not of America, for General Garcia, General Shafter and Admiral Sampson have met for the first time. They are grouped together ,1nder a sun so hot that it burns eyes on the high cliff overlooking the mag nificent valley of royal palms which meets the motionless blue sea, broken only by lines of white breakers on shore. and further out is broken again by the slow moving huils of thirty transports and thirty ships of war The three commanders are seated on ! boxes under the palm leaf roof of an open hut. One of them has blue print map on his knees, and before they roll it up again the attack on Santiago will be decided upon and her fate sealed.
 outside this hut are five negro sen tries, naked to the waist, and in the open space about the hut are hundreds of Cuban army officers, well armed, we'll uniformed-privates of every shade of skin, with every make of weapon. and small laughing boys armed with machetes or not armed at all.
 The palmleaf hut where the confer ence is taking place is open to the hot air at both ends. and on each side and standing about it or knceling on the ground in order to obtain better view is the strangest gathering of persons this war has thrown together.
 Colonel John Jacob Astor is crowded by a back giant with nly guard belt to c1yer his naked shoulders. There is also General Ludlow Of the engineers.

PLANS FOR THE ATTACK
 BY STARTERS INVADERS
No Time Will Be Lost Once the Americans Have Landed
 in Cuba,

NEW YORK, June 21.-The Herald's Washington correspondent telegraphs: With effective cooperation of Ameri- can warships and insurgents assured, naval officials say the debarkation of troops ought not to be attended by any great danger. Rear Admiral Sampson his conference with the insurgent lead CTS several days ago, and the authori- ties express satisfaction with the plan as it has been communicated them The plan contemplates the taking of advanced positions by the insurgent forces under the fire of American men of-war and, when this feature of the programme has been carried out, troops will be landed. The authorities feel confident the insurgents will be able to hold out until endorsements can be sent to them, and by this means the Spaniards will be unable to pre- vent the debarkation of the entire army with quantities of supplies which accompany it.
 No official announcement will be made as to the place of landing for the reason that the authorities do not pro- pose to make public to the enemy a plan which they would be thus in a position to anticipate. One of the off cialS with whom l talked said it was near enough for the Herald to state that the main body would be landed within eight miles of the city, and no time would be lost in making the at tack.
 The debarkation of the army will be the beginning of an arduous cam paign. The officials are beginning to feel some apprehension that it will not be the simple task which they have an ticipated. It is known that Lieutenant General Linares has been strongly re-. inforced, to what extent has not been reported to the Navy Department, but the amount of credence placed in the report is shown by the action of the War Department in sending 5000 in- stead of 4000 men to reinforce General Shafter's army, bringing his total force up to 2S,000 men.
 It is believed Generals Garcia and Rabi will be able to place 5000 or 5000

Admiral Sampson was advised of the approach of the troopships by the Rogers and Ericsson and he promptly sent Captain Chadwick of the flagship New York to receive General Shafter. Captain Chadwick went on the Glou- cester and acquainted General Shafter with the location of the several points at which troops might be landed.
 Captain Chadwick advised the troops

to remain out of sight of land until the point at which the troops are to dis embark is selected. General Shafter accepted this suggestion and all day the troop fleet remained twenty miles out at sea. It is likely their presence is known to the Spaniards, however, as smoke from the transports must be visible from Morro heights, which rise 250 feet above the sea.
 The transports came through the Windward Passage instead of using the Yucatan Channel. as Admiral Sampson expected them to do. The enthusiasm of Admiral Sampson's men at the ar rival of the troops was heightened by

YELLOW FEVER PROBLEM.

Authorities Studying Plans for
Keeping It Out of the Country.
Washington, Nov. 16.-The yellow fever
problem has been receiving earnest atten-
tion of late from the authorities here, par
tlcularly from the marine hospital service
and the war department. owing to the i'm
portant new relations established with
Cuba and other fever localities to the
south of us, and also becausa Of the recur-
renee Of the disease within this country
during the last summer.
The purpose is to prepare during the
coming winter months for such an efficient
Gordon of protection around the country
that the chances of a reintroductlon OF
the disease will be reduced to minimum,
while. at the same time the points OF infec-
tion in Cuba and elsewhere viii be so inn
proved by sanitation, and guarded by
quarantine that the main sources of dam
ger will be removed.
Already the marine hospital service has
begun It's work of establishing a Gordon
of quarantine around Cuba. A large float
ing d.sinfeeting plant Is in operation in
Havana harbor, and a similar hoaling dis
injecting plant is at Santiago, although
not yet In operation. They are to take

can ports and put it through such thor
ough disinfeotion that all fever germs will
be removed. Similar floating plants will
be established at all other large CONNER
ciaI points, and such rigid rules put in
force that the shipping Will be free from
danger before it is out of Cuban waters,
although the same rigid quarantine at
American ports win be continued.
Surgeon General Wyman is going ahead
with this floating disinfection, although
the present laws are not ali that Is de-
sired to give officials the right to establish
quarantine outside Of the country. Owing
to this weakness of the law, strong effort
viii be made to have Congress pass what
is known as the Caffrey bill, granting ad-
ditional quarantine powers.
Beside the quarantine. to provide against
the escape of disease from the island, the
authorities are now considering plans for
the internal sanitation of the island on an
extensive scale.
