Application was made tothe War department by the Pacific Mail Steamship company and by the Panama Railroad company that they might either borrow or purchase army hospital tents for the purpose of covering the destitute people ‘at Aspinwall. It was decided that they could not be sold except at public auction, as required by Jaw; but, in consideration of the probable destitution of American citizens at Aspinwall, the War department has placed in the eustody of the admiral of the fleet (they being sent by the City of Para) fifty hospital tents, only to be: used in the event of such a case of existing des- {tution a8 would Justify thelr employment for the protection of American citizens at that point.

THE MARINE CORPS Je recelving general compliments to-day upon the promptness displayed by the contingents ordered from Portsmouth, Boston and Norfolk to New York togo to Aspinwall. Themen at Portsmouth received their orders at 2 o'clock resterday,, and were on their way 8 o'clock, he forces at the other points displayed sim: ilar promptness. ‘The tents and camp equipage for the force is to be obtained at New York and. furnished from the army.

Grant’s Family Take Hope—Watch- ing for News About the House in New York—A Belief That the General Wit Spend Easter Sunday With the Living. New Yorx, April $.—A little before 12 o'clock last night Dr. Douglas was driven to the door of Gen. Grant's house in a Hansom cab, He ascended the steps and was admitted tmme- diately, About 1 o'clock he issued a bulletin signed by himself and Dr. Shrady, to the effect that Gen, Grant had been sleeping quictly since the administration of the anodyne. The outer door was closed all night long, and when U.S. Grant, jr,, called about 4:30 a. m., he was compelled to remain on the stoop for some minutes before he was admitted. When ques tioned, be answered that he had not been sent for, but came there in case he was wanted. Up t7 5:30am. the general had passed @ quiet night, THE EARLY MORNING SCENES, ‘There were no evidences of life about the house until 6:45am. At that time aservant rolled up the shades in the general's bow win- dow, and a few moments after Dr. Shrady ap- peared a brief time atthe library window. He and Dr. Douglas had been having some sleep and had risen ashort time before. The first person to leave the honse to-day was Rev. Dr. Newman. Hecame forth at exactly 6 o'clock. To the staff of reporters, who had patrolled the street all night, he said that Gen. Grant fell asleep at 10 o'clock last night and slepz con- tinuously until 5 o'clock ain. At that hour he asked for a drink, which he received. His throat was then moistened and dressed and the general seemed bright. As Dr. Newman left the house, at 6o’elock, Gen. Grant had spoken to him, and the patient’s voice seemed stronger and wasstronger than at any timesince the un- favorable symptoms. The family were encour- ‘ged and hopeful. The general had no bad symptoms whatever during the night, THE FIRST BULLETIN. The first bulletin of the new day and to Gen. Grant indeed Good Friday, was as follows: APRIL 34,6 a. m.—Gen. Grant has bad a pro- longed sleep. He has taken food at intervals during the night; the rest of the time has been devoted to refreshingsleep. His pulse is steady and full and he has no pain, Gigned.) Dr. Dovaras, Dr. Sunavy. SNATCHED FROM THE GRAVE. AtG:40 a, m. a gentleman left the house. He {s thoroughly informed as to the general's con- dition, and was asked to state what it was. He said the bulletin had told the story, but he would add that Gen. Grant had been snatched from the grave, and the hyperdermic syringe had done it. Thegeneral rested in his chair all night,and this morning it is believed that he will spend Easter Sunday with the living. SUNSHINE AND HOPE. A Cheerier Aspect of the Case—The Im- Provement Over Yesterday. New Yorx, April 3.—As the fog lifted with the rising sun, the home of Gen. Grant seemed to assume a cheerler aspect, The windows were raised to admit the warm spring-like ar, and the lace draperies at the windows lifted and fluttered in the slight breeze that was stirring. Pedestrians who passed through the street stopped to inquire how the general was, When told he was much stronger and much improved they could at first hardly credit the report, but when convinced they turned away or proceeded with pleased utterances. At 9:20 o'clock Dr. Shrady left the house and went to his home. As he came down the steps he sald: “The gen- eral is first rate as compared with yesterday.” Gen, Dent called during the morning, and at 9:25 exSenator Chaffee entered the house. Five minutes later U.S. Grant, a son of Orville Grant, left the house. He had been there all night. He said the genera! was resting in his chair during the night with his feet upon a stool. During the night he had entered the room and the general had extended his hand in welcome. The recent sinking spells had been due to trouble of the heart, though there was no organic disease of the heart. Col. Grant had been with his father all night, and has not had his clothes off in a week. During the morning it was understood that before night a consultation of the attend- ing physicians would take place, prompted by the improved condition of the patient. THE GOOD CONDITION CONTINUES, At 10:30 o'clock a.m. this bulletin was issued: 10:30 a.m.—Gen. Grant is quite refreshed by his long sleep. He has taken nourishment twice since the last record and is now preparing forabath in bed. His pulse is good and the good condition of 6 o'clock continues. At 10:45 ex-Senator Chaffee and Counsellor Penington left the house. They reported the general easy, and Mr. Chaifee said the improve- ment must be regarded as due to the patient's great constitution and indomitable pluck, but that the improvement could not be permanent, ‘A Good Breakfast.
