GEN. sTERNBERG HOPEFUL.
Thinks the Medical Service Will
Successfully Gone With Fever.

WASHINGTON, July 19. - Surgeon
General Sternberg returned to-day
from an inspection of the Olivette,
Which has just arrived With large
number of wounded. General Stern
berg continues to take hopeful view
OF the fever. He says normal cond1-
items are now being established by the
termination of the military campaign,
and that the medical service is thus
enabled to cope with the fever situa-
tion energetically and successfully.
When the outbreak first occurred there
was more or less confusion and dread
as exaggerated reports spread through
the camp. Now, however, complete
sanitary precautions are being enforc
ed, and the troops are being made to
live up to all requirements necessary to
prevent a spread of contagion. Gen
eral Sternberg received no additional
reports from the front to-day, nor has
he any Of the list of fever patients.
Outside of the Surgeon General the
war authorities continue to view with
much apprehension the fever situation
at the front. The dispatch asking for
additional hospital attendants, nurses
and doctors, all of them to be immunes,
was the only additional information
received. 1t makes no mention as to
the increase or decrease of the attack.
The call for additional immunes will be
met promptly.
The Resolute leaves New York to-day
with a large number of contract sur
geOns and nurses.
General Sternberg says he knows
nothing Of the reported suspicious cases
on board the Seneca, which arrived at
Norfolk yesterday, beyond the press re-
ports, but DR.. Wyman, Chief of the Ma
rine Hospital Service, received report
that there were three suspicious cases
aboard, although it could not be said
as yet that they were yellow fever The
ship was directed to proceed to New
York, where the local quarantine off,
cials will take such precautions as they
deem necessary, and where the facili-
ties for handling the wounded and
fever stricken patients are better than
at Norfolk.

sHAFTER ASKS FOR HURRY.
Wants Immunes Sent to Reduce the
Danger to a Minimum.

WASHINGTON, July 10. - Shafter
has asked the War Department. to
hurry forward the regiments Of i'm
munes for service at Santiago City and
vicinity, in order that there may be
a minimum of danger of further infec-
ton of our troops from the fever which
prevails at Santiago.
Secretary Alger said this afternoon
that ii is probable that the total num-
ber Of Spanish soldiers who will have
to be transported to Spain will reach
the 5000 estimated by General Shaft
er, as ToraPs reports did not cover
quite all the soldiers who would be
turned over. The Secretary says the
Military Governor of Santiago had not
yet been definitely selected Our army
captured 100000 rounds Of ammuni-
ton at Santiago, SO that it will not
need such supplies for some time.
The Secretary would not go into de-
tails concerning the Porto Rican ex-
pedition, but said he fully expected it
would start to-day on its mission

There's Art In It That Cannot Be Ana
Il lyzed by Occidentals.
To one who never heard it it is impos-
sible to give definite idea of Japanese
music, and to one who hears it for the
first time it must either repel or strange
~ attract, for it's fantastic intervals and
fractional tones demand a totally new
sense of musical appreciation and call
into bsing.a new set of musical sensa-
tions. It is as if hitherto closed door
between sense and spirit had been sud.
denly thrown open. One feels that If
reincarnation be true, one might through
this door alone remember and recon
struct those vanished existences. Only
in the tones of their own unguisu, a
bird which has but three notes, have ]
heard anything SO occult.
japanese music is like japanese art,
which, with its unperceived spirit,
sense and symbolism, it's strange method
of brush handling, might seem merely
grotesque at first, but which gradually
reveals to the initiated eye mysteries
within mysteries Of artistic form and
perception, until presently one finds
oneself encompassed by new arr
world, where technic is subordinated
to feeling and whose finest effects are
obtained through the art Of omission.

AInc uuuIu W out the boundaries ana
outer confines of pure isolated idea. So
in Japanese music, its methods are not
ours, its climaxes come in crashes of ST.
Hence, in sustained and soundless pause,
the notes subordinated to a silent some
thing, an inner sense, which, while re-
Ftralning or even depressing sound is
the very ecstasy of musical sensation.
In vainswe attempted to analyze this
subtle effect, to reduce it to the terms
pf our musical consciousness. It defied
and eluded us as spirit must always defy
/ and elude sense, and we perforce con-
tented ourselves with following the
strange, rounded, isolated notes, sus-
tanning ourselves breathlessly on its
wonderful pauses and yielding to the
irregular cadenced charm of.the singer,
whose face, at first SO unremarkable,
seemed to grow of a shining effulgence
as she thus interpreted to US an un-
known world. - Washington Star.

Parrots Are Never Original.

I have read of a father who would
not let his children tell their dreams
because there is in such narrative too
great temptation to wander from the
truth. Parrot stories are too often like
dream stories--one- half true, and they
are sometimes; plainly to any who
knows the true talking power of these
birds-made up entirely or greatly ex-
aggerated. While the parrot has a GER
tain unnnistakable sense Of humor, and
is correspondingly wise, none of the
various species is or ever was capable
Of the original wise and witty talk IA
miliar to us in newspaper anecdotes.
In fact, the parrot is never original
in speech. 1t is altogether initiative,
and bird that has never heard spoken
words has surely never uttered sylla-
BILE.
But, Judging from parrots clever use
of what they learn to say, it is almost
certain that they come to know in a
measure the meaning Of the phrases
they learn. Charlotte Boner in st.
