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.

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.

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. \ > Mapy *0 Mho Sa phyAhiaM* of natal l«MbeesttaM4i«Ud .«• ifcb qeeataou, etei eaA kod *ll tgree tk*B 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.
