AN INVESTIGATION
OF the Reported Inadequacy or the
Seneca Asked by Gen. Sternberg.

Washington, July 23.-Surgeon Cen
e.al Sternberg, of the army, has re-
ouested through the adjutant generals
Office, that an investigation be made OF
the charges that the transport Seneca,
which brought sick and wounded from
Skaters army at Santiago to New
York, left the former place with an
inadequacy Of medical supplies and was
otherwise unfit for the work assigned
her. From letters which have been
received by Gen. Sternberg 1t appears
that specially unfavorable weather
conditions prevailed and the surf was
running high when the ship was be-
ing loaded with her human freight,
though why a sufficient amount OF
medical supplies was not put aboard
the vessel Is not explained. There
was plenty OF quinine and also plenty
Of morphine available with the med
ical corps, but it appears that not
enough OF the latter drug was sent
aboard the vessel for all purposes nee
essary, and on this account some Of
the complaints have arisen. The Sem

an underdress of white chiffon decorated
with narrow rucnings of black lace, long
scarfs of black chantilly falling graceful

a grace and distinction impossible to H.
whose angles are often too prominently dis
played and who does not possess the as
surance born of-polteness forbids me to
say how many seasons. To my mind this is
las 1t should be. At best the summer of

she can extend 1t by any lawful means
think she should do so.
The new plaid muslins are in the most
lovely combinations, as, for instance, apple
green and white, pink and cream, and black
and white. One most charming and un-
common design was in two shades of pink
and palest heiotrope, and another, of which
shall have more to say anon, since met
it made up later on in my travels, was of
deep yellow with touch of orange about 1t,
and cream. AS for the sprigged muslins-
what fascinating sound the words have!-
they are all the rage now, as they were
sixty years ago, when our grandmothers
were girls. One, in especial, caught my fan
cy particularly. 1t had a white ground
whereon tiny pink rosebuds ran riot, tied
up here and there by ribbons of palest blue;
another bore punches of forget-me-nots,
yet another. whose ground was cream SO
deep that it inclined towards yellow, had
buttercups scattered over its surface in
groups of twos and threes.

greatly to the advantage of the robe. A
plain muslin hem Is so apt to give limp
look to even the most carefully-thought-
out gown. Some-needless to say these were
the most highly priced-had innumerable
little frills all edged with the finest lace.
Others, again, were composed of alternate
strips of muslin and entre-deux, the half
dozen or SO of foot frills being edged with .
similar lace. In all cases the material sup
piled for the bodice wns. also similarly
embroidered or belaced, or entre-deuxed-

copy this design in some of the popular
blues and greys, in any one of which 1t
will surely be charming.

order alone could have produced an elabor-

dawn, which I saw. Its tuckings and pipings
defy description. but may at least tell that
the ribbon velvet occurring at intervals Is
of the palest green, and surmounted each
time by delicately tinted lace of guipure
character. A jabot of filmy lace partially
conceals the inevitable revers Of green vel
Ivet.

the past lurked, too, in the folds of pretty

adjustment of white ostrich feathers, rising
