Marchesi gives her personal attention
to each pupil. There is an accompanist
for each class. The opera class comes
first, then the first concert class and the
beginners. Each class generally consists
OF from six 10 eight pupils and the in
struction IS enjoyed by the entire class.
Every pupil is compelled TO remain durinc,
her class instruction. Half an hour Is
devoted 70 each pupil and as every one
has different music, great benefit Is de-
rived from the instruction given-each in
dvldual.
Marchesi is outspoken and will not
promise % voice until she Is satisfied that
there is promise IN a. She is by no means
a hattCrer / remember after She was SAT-
isiied with my voice he did not tell me OF

was In Paris with ne. the desired infor-
nation that my voice was very fine and
promised well. She was afraid this would
give me too much satisfaction.

casion the parlors are thrown open and

criticisms. which, as students, we scarcely
appreciate, but as time passes we realize
the value and justice of this severity.
Anarchists mode Of instruction is nat
ural. The pupil is first placed in exer-
else work. This lasts three months or
longer If necessary, during which time
she is enabled TO determine what the
possibilities OF the voice are Thereafter
the pupil is advanced as the talent Of each
individual viii permit.
That Marchesi IS severe I shall never
forget. This was demonstrated TO my en-
tire satisfaction on the occasion Of my
first visit 20 her studio. Two other Amer
lean girls were present on this occasion.

THERE is conflicting and more or

yesterday stated that it had been de-

the bombardment Immediately. A
special from Washington in this morn

The war department announced
shortly after midnight that Admiral
Sampson would begin the lombard
ment of Santiago on Saturday (tomor-
row. at noon. He will approach the
shore as closely rs possible and with
his eight, ten and thirteeninch guns
throw shells into the town itself. This
is the result of the conference held be-
tween Admiral Sampson and General
Shafter yesterday, which Was ordered
by the President. While the lombard
ment is going on Shafter will make a
land attack, General Randolph with
5000 troops and six batteries of artil-
lery having by that time REINFORCED
