TRUCE EXPIRES TODAY.
SANTIAGO FORTI TOBE ATTACK
ED TOEAY AT NOON.
.„ '
If Reinforcements Arrive Shafter
Will Also Attack theClty of Banti
ago—Navy WiUbo Protected.
Washington, July 8. —Gen. Shaker
reported all quiet yesterday in the
camp before Santiago, and the beat be
lief of the officials here is that the
same state of affairs exist today.
The army is losing nothing by its
rail, and according to the general’s ac
count is gaining strength. Afore rein*
forcemen la are-due today or tomorrow
and when they arrive it is expected
that the assault on the city will be n
earned.
'Gwe.Sbafter and Admiral Sampson
bad a conference day before yesterday,
and as a result the fleet is going to
make another try at the fortifications
At the mouth of the haibir tomorrow.
If the army is ready thia will partake
of the nature of a general attack; if
not, then the navy’s action will be
simply io the line of execution of a
policy of reducing Santiago by stages
according to regular siege methods.
While co operating as far as possi«
ble with the army the navy is not to
be sacrificed in this attack npon the
Spanish forts. The dropping of a six
inch shell from on high through the
deck of the Indiana three - days ago,
during the trifling engagements with
the forts when the Mercedes was sunk,
strikingly verified the predictions of
«aval experts as to the dangerous
effect of elevated fire on warships at
close range. It was more by good
luck than by good management that
the Indiana escaped deCtfnotia* of an
awful Ices of ift frees this dao efeeU I
The presides* has determined the*
the navy shall rot be sacrificed for a
small stake suoh as Santiago. To his
cabinet officers be foes pointed out the
extremely dangerous position that the
United States would eqsupy among
nations if left exposed by the loss of
its navy, the arm of the service which
has evoked the unwilling admiration
and respect of the greatest powers of
Europe.
Without a-navy, or at least without
the steel bullet dogs that make up
its backbone now lying before Santia
go, it might be concluded that wo
should be no longer safe as we feel
ourselves to be at present, from the
interference of European powers in
the settlement of our difficulties with
Spain.
The function es the navy io tomor
row’s attack will be to help the army
in the assault when it shall come to
the final stage by entering the harbor,
but this will bo done only after the
fortifications at the entrance have
been reduced and the way cleared.
The Spanish squadron under Ad
miral Camara has returned to Suez
and re-entered the canal on its way
back to Spain.
The Spanish Royal Standard.
The Spanish royal standard Is most
complicated. The red and yellow of
tke Spanish flag is said io be derived
from this occurrence: In 1878 Charles
the Bold dippgd bis fingers in the
blood of Geoffrey, Count of Barcelona,
and drew them down the Count’s
golden shield, in token of his appre
ciation of the letter’s bravery. The
shield, so marked, became the arms
of Barcelona, which became part of
Arragon, and its arms wars taken by
that kingdom.
Now to tbo royal standard: la the
first quarter, er upper left hand part
of the flag, are the arms of Loen .and
Castile, the lion and the castle; the
second quarter is taken up, one*baif
by tbo arms of Arragon, one-half by
the arms of Sicily. The upper third
of the third quarter (directly under
the first), shows the Austrian colors,
the lower two-thirds Is divided be
tween the flag of Burgundy and the
black lion of Flanders; tbo upper
third of the feo<th quarter shows the
chequers, another Bargnndian device,
while the lower two-thirds is shared
by the red eagle of Antwerp and the
golden lion of Brabant, and on the
lop of all this are two shields, one
showing the Portuguese arms, tbo
other the French flsur-de lis. Con
siderable of a flag that.—Philadelphia

A large number of soldiese are ex

Rome, Columbus, Atlanta, Savannah,
Augusta, and other places, which will
greatly add to the list now in camp.
Col. Candler thinks it will not bs
mere than a week before the entire

mustering in. <'
All necessary tents, uniforms rod
other equipments, except possibly a
few guns, are now in the commissary

The Heat in the Monitor*.
Monitors b*ve been doing cruising,
but are not intended fei it. The speed
is very slow, they carry little coal, and
in this hot weather are regular sweat
boxes. The temperature in my state
reom is 92 to 95 degress, which is cool
compared to that of the warrant offi
cers, where it is never below 106 de
grees at se*. or between decks, where
it is often 125 degrees. In the engine
room 140 degrees to 160 degrees is the
rule. It is remarkable that only two
men ar* today on the sick list out of
216.
The men are standing it well, but
the doctors are worrying abont the fu
ture, as the strain and heat are gltting
Worse as the war continues and sum
mer is approaching.
When working the turrets I have to
strip to undershirt and dungaree pants
and the men strip to bare backs. In
action, with gnus heating up, it will be
no cold storage room under the sleel
turrets, heated by the sun pouring up
on them outside.
Everybody is in good spirits except
•n account of not getting at the ene
my. That is chafing as all. The
crew and officers of this ship,like those
of every other ship jp the fleet, are
red-hot for a scrap, andafre enviou* of
every tug or ship that occasionally has
a brush. —Boston Transcript. /

NO IMMUNITY FOR
Physicians Who Say Ono May Have
Yellow Fever Several Times.
Il is very true that the Southern
troops will be better able to stand the
climate of Oubi than the Northern
soldiers, bet when authorities on the
subject of yellow fever hear the ideas
of the administration on the subject of
so-celled “immunes” lhey enjoy a
quiet langh al the ignorance displayed.
“Immuno*” exist, but because a
perecn has had yellow fever once if
does not follow that ho will never
have it again. He may have it twice
during one epidemic, and should
he be exposed to it the next year bo
may haveTj twice more
The people of the Gurlf states are
accustomed to tropical heat and ma
laria, but those who enroll their names
as "immunes” know well the risk they
run. Sursly tl\we “immum*o” will
make noble soldiers, for lhey realize
folly the danger of invading Cuba,
while the Northern and Western men'
can only imagine the horrors of “yel
low jack ”
Ho has never been shut up in a city
where the air is* rank with poison,
where all business is at a standstill,
where death reigns supreme, where
corps of noble men band themselves
together for the purpose of caring for
the sick and suffering; and each day
when the roll is called and this one or
that ene fails te answer, the rest look
at one another and ask, "Who nextf”
The Southern troops generally are
anxious te go to the front, anxious to
heal the old-scar by fighting for “Old«
Glery,” and willing to run the risk of
fever to show their great loyalty toq
Unsie Sam. \ >

raising recipients of so-callsd "in*.-
munes” it absurd. Among these au
tberities is Dr. C. LoHardy, health,
officer at Savannah, Ga, who baa writ*
tea volumes on the subject of yellew
fever and who hve practiced in seven
epidemics.
When appealed to by a correspond
ent of tbo Pest, he eaid : “Tbo general
belief is that you cannot hare yellow'
fever twice. This is an error, due to
the want of actual knowledge.
“Some persons never have it, but I
have treated others four times during
one epidemic, three times with black
vomit. I have treated others throe
times, and many twice. Again, I have
treated in 1854, persons who had the
disease in 1820 and 1839. In 1848 I
attended numbers who suffered again
in 1864. In 1876, the last time we had
the fever in Savannah, I had patients
who bad been the victims es throe pre
vious epidemics.”
Dr. LeHardy also stated positively
that the yellow fever bolt does not in*>
elude the Gulf states, but extends from
South Florida to South America, and
that as long *8 the sanitation of any
southern city is good there will not be
a state of epidemic.
When asked why natives of the
West Indies rarely suffer a second
lime from "yellow jack,” the authori
ties all agreed that it i* bjscauw they
avoid ibhaling the • >dhon by keeping
out of the infected localities ql night
and in the early morning—-Washing
ton Pott.
A Goad Day’s Work
Officer Phelps yesterday morning
arrested Tom Williams, Grant Moore
and Dao Perdue, a trio of worthless
negroes, for quarreling and fighting.
The difficulty occurred out on Bar
row’s Row Thursday night, and seven*
al pistol shots were fired, hut “unfor
tunately no one was hit.
The negroes will be tried before
Judge Beck this morning at 10 o’clock.
Officer Phelps also arrested Mamie
Coppedge, the colored damsel who
made her escape from Spalding coun
ty’s jail about two weeks since. She
was in jail awaiting trial fer burglary
when she made her escape ia some
mytlsriees way.
T.B. Boe, a prominent dseggiet of'
Greensboro, Ga., writes as follows: “I
have handled Dr. Pitta’ Carminative for
eight yean, aad have never known of a
Angle instance where it failed to give per
foct satisfketion. Parties Who once use it
always make permanent customen. We
sell more of this article than all the other
Carminatives, soothing syrups and oolio
drops combined.’’ For teething children
it has no equal.
