FRENCH GENERAL IMPROVED.
PARIS, Aug. 31—General Maunoury, who was sufficiently recovered from his wounds to leave the hospital, is completing his convalescence at Herbilly in the department of Loir et-Cher. The modest family dwelling that he occupies there near the main road from Paris to Blois is kept full of flowers by the people of the village.
The general, who lost the sight of one eye only, but who still wears a bandage over both, recently attended a village festival, leaning upon his wife's arm, and to the compliments addressed to him he declared he would soon have gathered sufficient strength to return to the front.
