RENNES , ScpU2. ( Now YorkWorlt
Cablegram. ) I am Informed on th (
beat 'authority that Colonel Paly di :
Clrtirf hlfiTmrtdo the' ' most sensational
revelation , exposing all the crooked
ness of which ho Is guilty , In obedience
to the direct instructions of his chle/t
of the general staff. This was revealed
to Major Tavernlcr , the commissioner
appointed by Colonel Jouaust , presi
dent of , tlic court-martial , to tiikc Du
Paly do Clam's testimony In Paris ,
where he lies 111.
At this moment , 11 o'clock at night ,
n meeting of the generals and of thu
principal satclltcs Is being held In the
house which M. Cavalgimci a former
minister of war , has secretly main
tained here as the headquarters of the
Inner circle of nntl-Dreyfusltcs.
M. Ca.vnlgnac .pretended to go to
Paris , after the fourth day of the trial.
He really has been In Paris since the
first day of Major Tavcrnier's exam
ination of Iu Paty de Clam , Ho has
been pulling wires In the attem.pt to
learn ne to what Du Paty de Clam has
be jn testifying.
Cavalgnac- returned here last night.
I , lcarn that ho brought. If not a com
plete copy of Du Paty do Clam's testi
mony , at least a fairly explicit synopsis
of H. upon 'his return was issued the
hurried 'summons ' which gathered the
Kcrf'ernls hi Mils hotlse. They are mow
discussing their jllan ot defense. Gen
eral Roget's and Captain. CijigiifiVp
mean abandonment of him has d fl-
nntly antagonized Ju ) Paly do Clam.
All efforts by General Gonso t'o'pacifV
him have been vain. Du Paty de Clam's
tamlly "lias persuaded him "to resign
bis commission in the army as sobn
n ho has cleared himself of all respon
sibility' for this crime against Dreyfus.
So he has no fears ; he does not cnro.
That , M. Cavalgnac should have pro
cured even a synopsis of Du Paty do
Slam's , testimony Is In Hhclf Illegal ,
[ or the law says that testimony so
taken must be kept secret until It Is
read In court. But M. Cavalgnac risked
i crime nnd called together the gen-
arals last night. They knew Du Paty
lo Clam's revelations place them In
QXtrcmest danger.

FunBlon arc with the general's regU
ment. General Funston has 'under
gone an operation , necessitated by
aiv injury resulting from a fall from
his horse whllo serving In the Cuban
army with Goneial Gomez.
In the course of an , Interview Gen
eral Funston remarked that ho would
not , mind staying in Luzon. Ho dis
likes warfljut Inasmuch ns there is
fighting he would like to renialn and
aid in bringing it to a closo. Speaking
of the future1 ho said : "Tho only
solution of the problem will bo
through whipping the insurgents. I
do not think they wEll surrender.
When wc begin active operations
against them on a , larear scale in
the autumn wo will scatter them Into
small bands and think when the
soldiers composing these bands sco
that they afo persistently pursued
they will , throw away or hide their
arms nnd return to the pursuits of
peace. A , year' hence small bodies of
arnicd men will be able to gp anywhere -
where in Luzon. The Island was al
ways Jnfestqd with bandits .and was
never safq for Europeans ( o travel1 In.
Probably after the end of the' flght-
Ipg thd highwaymen Will bc'rflore'nu- '
mcroiiB because' the members of
Agulnaldo's army , who have lived for
years with guns In their hands , have
acnuir.ed n taste for bush life and
would rather continue as highwaymen
than return to worlc.
"Cavalry is greatly needed here. The
country , when dry. Is superb for cav
alry operations. The Insurgents have
none. One of thdlr strong points Is
their ability to retreat rapidly. Cav
alry could overtake and hopelessly
scatter and punibh them , and could
bubslfit largely on the country. When
cavalry Is once here It should bo given
a chance to go ahead and not kept In
towns for guard duty. Our greatest
successes have been gained when the
regimental eommundprs have been al
lowed to quickly follow up thq advan-
ttiges gained in battle. Small bodies
of Americans , operating freely and
commanded by officers of dash and
% break up the
enemy , , The taptnie of 'Aguinaldo by
cavalry would bo a less difficult propo
sition than ithc capture of. the Apache
rihiefs In Arizona. ' '

lant. Several times during the last
ampaign , however , the factory con-
umodas hlgh.as 370 tons of beets in
ivonty-four hours. To give the plant
n Jncrqa.sed output , a new sfeconil car-
