1'AltlS. Sept 10. Expectation was dlsap-
olntcJ today. The ministerial council was
o have held a special sitting , with the ob-
cct of hearing the war minister's account
f the Dreyfus case and the newly dlscov-
red dcllnqur-ncle * of the staff ofllcers.
But General Zurllnden , finding he had not
fie grounds upon which to form a sound
pinion , asked for an adjournment. He Is
.serious , honorable minded worthy col-
ague of the conscientious Brlseon and was
hosen to Investigate the Dreyfus affair , as
var minister , because he Is not biased and Is
olghted with a eense of the responsibility
nvolved In the matter. Being a 1'rotestant
nd of bourgeois breeding , he does not share
he ultra-Catholic anti-Jewish feeling of
asto at the war odlce. Having been a su-
erlor odlccr in the army , and being an Al-
atlan , ho Is warmly patriotic nnd would
ot ehare with the military Judges of Drey-
us should he nnd evidence of guilt.
General Zurllnden was to have given a
cnllct today. If against reopening the
ase , ho would have retired to leave the gov-
rnment a free hand. Judge of the dlsap-
lolntment when news was received that the
ouncll had adjourned.
Committee to I2vmiiliie Paper * .
The Dreyfus affair Is In a good channel.
The minister of justice has named six ac-
ompllshcd , experienced , keen Jurists to e\-
inlne the secret papers and everything con-
icctcd with the matter. The Dreyfus case
rill entirely depend on this committee. Not
me of the six is a Jew , but ono of them , M.
'repot , haa been an admirer all his llfo of
ewlsh history. Another member of the
ommlttcc , M. Lopelletler , has found relaxa-
lon fiom legal toll In Greek literature. All
Ix arc men of unblemished character and
n the habit of sifting evidence.
The sK will set to work directly the war
ilnlster gives his opinion. The country now
ielng antl-Semlto and Dreyfus being a Jew ,
ho government will have to act warily
nd creep rather than walk forward. The
ate Lieutenant Colonel Henry' confession
rought public opinion round to a revision ,
ut the hostility to Dreyfus Is not abated.
'ho people feel that a mist of Iniquity Is
nvolved In th < > affair and they want to pen-
trate It. They are beginning to understand
hat the general staff U no better than
vhen It rendered the military disasters of
S70 Inevitable. The resignation of General
lolsdeffro as chief of general staff Is a
landing puzzle and It arouses suspicions
hat only a public trial can quiet.
The askVas
people Dreyfus an accom-
llcc of Esterhazy ? Were they both able to
hold rods In plcklo for their superiors ?
Vas such power the reason why the trial
vas so strangely conducted and Dreyfus
elegated to Devil's Island ? "
Dark IValnrr * iinplial7ril.
The darkest features are seemingly Justi
fied bv the circumstances connected with
Colonel Henry's suicide , which. It Is re
marked , was accomplished on the day the
Zionists' congress bioke up. That event ut-
erly discredits the Intelligence department
of the war office. nnd Indeed discredits the
\holo general start.
No moio gruesome event has over shocked
iiimnn suutlmcnt and conscience , and c\en
hough It happen-d within blunt of Paris , It
s shrouded In mystery. Colonel Henrj's Is
ho second Buicldo connected with the Drcy-
us affair.
The flrst suicide was that of T.,0 Mcrcler
Icard , an Intelligence agent nf the gt-n-
ral staff of Colonel Schwarzi'koppen. the
icrman military attache here , and of the
Lallan embassy. He was found suspended
rom a lamp hook In a celling. Was he
murdered ? Was ho a suicide ? The sus-
ilclous facts of his deaths weie hushed up
> y the late go\ eminent nnd M. Leplnc , the
orraer prefect of police.
i : terha/y Sulrlile n Cnnnril.
The reported sulcldo of Slajor Coun !
Ksterliazy was a canard. Ho knows where
too many skeletons are concealed not to
feel safe. He will dlo a natural death , but
fresh revelations may lead to others fol
lowing Colonel Henry. The furies , as in
the Greek traditions , seem to enter intc
this drama. The fall of General Doisdcffrc
brings the drama homo to the Imperial
court of Hussla , where , as a brilliant , aris
tocratic military attache , ho was a great
fa\orltc. He was admitted to the festivi
ties of the Imperial family and was s
fa\orlto waltzing partner of the empress
dowager In her dancing days.
The Prcnch republic sent him and a spe
cial embassy to the rate czar's funeral and
to the present czar's coronation. Greal
sums ot money were allowed him to cut t
dash. I'lnally , I'resldenr Kauro took hire
to St. Petcrsbuig to assist In the prepara
tion of the Franco-Russian treaty. Whj
such a great personage deems himself with
Henry and resigns a splendid post Is pasl
comprchenBlon.
The reopening of the Dreyfus ease maj
solve the puzzle.

LONDON , Sept. 10 ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram > News was
ecrlved today from Omdurman that a white
orce , presumably the Trench Ma-

at that time his Soudanese ttoops had
nutlnled.
The- presence of the French at Tashoda Is
regarded ns an event likely to Induce the
gravest complications. In 1S95 when Major
Marchnnd was credited with on Intention
o proceed to Tashoda Sir I'dward Grej ,
hen foreign tinder secretary , solemnly de
clared In the House ot Commons , with the
approval of both political parties , that any
'rench encroachment upon that valley of
he Upper Nile would be regarded ami
teated by Knglnnd "as an unfriendly act. "
n other words , as an act of war. True , his
expedition has been asserted to be purely
scientific In Its objects and his shelling of
he Khallf.i's gunboat not Inconsistent with
that , being merely an act of self preserva
tion , but the Spectator , which is not a Jingo
organ , describing the possibility of Mar-
chand having anticipated Ucneial Kitchen
er's arrival at Pashoda , said :
"If they claim to exercise Trench sov
ereign rights they must nt once be hundred
out of Tashodn without further ceremony
and Franco must decide whether she cares
to fight the matter out In the channel ; but :
she will not do that. We long ago warned
her that we should consider any interfer
ence with the Nile valley a casus belli and
; hls warning she did not then and will not
n the future profess to disregard. "
Kltehener Mny Mo\e.
A story of significance is that General
Cltchener , on receipt of the above "errs
roui Fasboaa , immediately refused J al
ow any newspaper correspondents lo pro
ceed there , and ordered them all to re-
urn to Cairo General Kitchener , It Is be-
leved , wants to have a perfectly free hand
n dealing with Marchand , and It Is fully
expected that the next dispatch from him
will announce the capture of Fashoda , which
ho can reach In five dajs from Khartoum.
Us Instructions were to proceed to Tasboda
at his convenience and Join hands with
Major MacDonald. He will fulfill those
nstructlons nt all cost , nnd by shutting
off the news supplies , he will not be ham
pered by dispatches from the vacillating
ministry at home , acted upon by shifting
public opinion.
France In the Upper Nile could prevent a
realization of England's splendid dream of
empire from the Cape of Good Hope to
Cairo ; but brooded by the triumph at Ora-
durraan , feeling here undoubtedly favors
grappling with the Trench at once at
Fashoda. France , on her side , may desire
to find relief from the stress of Internal
tToublcs by combining against her most
hated foe. So the moment seems big with
the possibility of great happenings.

Joseph Chamberlain's criticism of the
czar's peace proposal is understood to have
greatly embarrassed Lord Salisbury In his
relations with St. Petersburg. In addition
to a telegraphic dispatch , in which Arthur
Dalfour , acting for Lord Salisbury , had ex
pressed warm sjmpathy and approval for the
czar's proposal , Salisbury himself wrote a
detailed dispatch describing the condition
In a favorable spirit to be presented to Mu-
ravleff next week by the British ambassador
at St. Petersburg. Mr Chamberlain's dec
laration that the czar's scheme was In ef
fect a chimera , and the projected congress
would leave the European armaments as It
found them placed Lord Salisbury In a ridic
ulous position.
A sensation has been created In Ireland
by the seemingly authoritative statement
that Chamberlain had drafted a parliamen
tary redistribution bill , reducing Irish rep
resentation In the Imperial Parliament from
103 to SO members. The constituencies dis
franchised will bo wholly nationalist , the
Idea being to cripple the nationalist party
in its further pursuit of home rule.

( CopvrlMu , 1W. by Press Publishing Co )
NUON. St , . in ( New York World
trara Spt lal Telegram ) The Aus-
mpress's manner of traveling , going
unatttuded , rendered her one of the
t , though one of the least likely vie-
of anarchist ferocity. She alwavs
eled Incognito as the Countess Ho-
ctnbs , relying on her own mysterious
ceedings for protection ngnlnst cranks
criminals. When In London about three
ars ago she was up and about the streets
'very ' morning at 5 , visiting the flower mar-
fcet nt Coveut Garden at that unearthly
hour more than once and also the Billings
gate fish market. She retired to bed at
! ' She livid w holly to herself nnd per
emptorily forbade the embassy officials to
take any notice of her presence.
Of late vears she nlwnjs wore n thick
veil , so that it was quite Impossible to
scrutinize her features She was morbidly
susceptible ? to the Inevitable decay of her
bcaury , which at one time was of world
wide fame. Tor the same rcafon she had
never been photographed nor had she had
a portrait for thirty jears , and no one has
ever succeeded In even sketching her dur
ing that time.
Until her health broke down the empress
of Austria was passionately devoted to
hunting. She came to Ireland and England
for many successive > ears for the hunting
season , preferring Ireland because the
Jumping obstacles there were more formid
able.
She never "got on" with Queen Victoria ,
who dlsaprovcd of her free and easy manner
of living , entirely discarding the ceremonial
surroundings of her rank. Her second and
last visit to the queen at Windsor Castle
to lunch was marked by an Incident that
created iruch comment. The empress , on
leaving the castle , went straight to the
refreshment buffet at the railway station
and ate a hearty meal , a proceeding which
was taken to reflect on the royal hospitality
she had Just enjoyed.
The empress was always accompanied at
hunting by the Austrian Count Testeltos and
Captain Hay Mlddlcton. the famous English
horseman , who was killed In the saddle
a. few > cars ago. She rode to hounds fear-
leFsly and had many "spills , " but never
suffered seriously.
Since the shocking tragedy of Crown
Prince Rudolf's death she had never ap
peared in public In Vienna. She never
completely tecovered from the effects of
the blow. She was consumed with anguish
at the thought that Hudolf's vvlldness was
Inherited through her , and she was re
morseful that sha had not kept him more
under control In earlier jears instead of
encouraging him In boyish escapades.
The death of her bister , the Duchess
d'Alencon , In the charity bazaar fire In
Paris , was another crushing blow. Troni
this the sought rrllef by almost Incessant
travel. Before her son's death she hail
Jui t cnn\petf d a gorgeous palace- , the Achll-
lelon at Corfu , but shq never afterward Eel
foot In It , nnd the palace Is now for sale ,
It Is reported to have cost } 7IJOO,000.
Her death now will stop thu contemplated
jubilee In November In commemoration of
Emperor Francis Joseph's accession , for
which elaborate arrangements have been
made , the empress having promised to break
her rule of seclusion and participate In
the grand state pageant.
The personal relations between the em
press nnd the emperor had long been the
subject of unpleasant rumors , though the
Incidents on which these rumors were
founded were as likely to arise from her
growing eccentricities ns to the causes of
quarrel which the emperor's conduct Is re
ported to have given her.
PARIS , Sept. 10. ( New York Worle
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) The Era-
press of Austria , by a codicil In her will
expressed a wish to bo burled at Corfu
near the sea , where the waves would brcaV
perpetually on her tomb. The empress al
ways visited Paris Incognito as the "Coun
tess Hohenembs" and lodged at the Aus
trian embassy. She figures In ono of Mun-
kacsy's famous pictures.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA , Sept. 10 S p. m
Affler an absence of ten days , the trans
port San Juan arrived today from Sagua de
Tanamo and Daracoa , with 2,000 Mausei
rifles nnd a large quantity of ammunltior
from the Spaniards at Haraioa. The Sat
Juan carried four companies of volunteers
for garrison duty , two companies at eact
tow n.
On arriving at Baracoa on September :
Major Wjlly and two companies disem
barked and with due military ceroraonj
raised the first American flag chat had beer
unfurled on the northern coast of Cuba.
It was learned that over 1,500 Cuban :
under Brigadier General Prudenclo Mar
tinez , were encamped about the town ane
that a strict guard had been maintained bj
the Spanish , who numbered SOO men. Majo :
Wylly's camp was located on the hill over
looking the town. The forage lights on thi
distant hills were mistaken for an advanc
ing army of Cubans , supposedly to rescn
a patriotic demonstration that had takei
place In the afternoon.
Captain Harris , with two companlei , wa
ordered ashore from the San Juan and tool
up a position In the Plaza , guarding th <
southern approach to the town.
Major Wjlly In establishing a line o
sentinels In advance of the pickets
neglected to notify the latter , who , hear
Ing footsteps on the hillside , without chal
lenglng fired about ) sixty shots. No barn
was done , but the men were much demoral
Ized and there was considerable amusemen
among the Spanish officers over the Incl
dent.
At Baracoa the sanitary conditions wer
found fairly good , though there was som
sickness. The poorer classes had sufferei
much from the war.
The San Juan left the next day for Sagu ;

was carried to the hotel Ht-aurlvagc , where
she expired.
The wound was Just over the left breast.

o put off from the ejuay. but did so at the
request of the empress and her suite , there
jeing no apprehension that she was seriously
lurt. The steamer was turned back before
reaching the open lake , and the empress ,
unconscious , was carried to the hotel ou a
stretcher. "

The assassin , while being Interrogated by
the magistrate , said he came to Geneva
with the Intention of killing the Due d'Or-
leans , but the latter had already left. Luc-
cessl ( or Lachcsnl ) followed the duke to
Evlan , about twenty-five miles north of
Geneva , on the lake , where he was again
unsuccessful. He then returned to Geneva
and learned from the papers of the presence
enceof the Austrian empress.
Ycste-day he dogged her footsteps , but
found o opportunity to carry out his pur
pose , 'houRh ho watched the Hotel Deau-
rlvage all day. This afternoon about 1-uO
he said he saw the valet of the empress
leaving the hotel and going toward the
landing. Ho Inferred from this that the
empress was going to take the steamboat
and ho hid himself behind a tree on the
quay , with the stiletto concealed in his
right sleeve , in a few minutes the em
press , accompanied by her lady of honor ,
appeared and the assassin struck the stiletto
home.
Luccessl confessed that ho has been nn
anarchist since he was 13 years old.
"If all anarchists did their duty as 1 have
done mine , " he said , "bourgeois society
would soon disappear. "
He admitted that ho knew the crime was
useless , but i-ald he committed It for "the
sake of example. "
In spite of minute searching the weapon
of the murderer has not been found.

DHRNK , Switzerland , Sept. 10. The pres
ident of Switzerland and other members of
the government were btrlcken with horror
and grief when the news reached the pal
ace that the empress , so beloved by all Cu-
ropeans , had fallen a victim to an assassin
within the borders of their country.
They Immediately arranged to hold an
extraordinary federal council on Sunday
morning , In order to consider measures to
take against the assassin. The latter must
be tried according to thn statutes of the
canton in which the crime was committed ,
which forbid capital punishment and make
life Imprisonment the most severe penalty
which can be Imposed.
When the Austrian minister , Count Kucf-
stcln. was Informed of the tragedy , ho hur
ried to the palace and was met with expres
sions of the deepest svmpathy. So soon as
a special train could be arranged for the
minister started for Geneva , accompanied
by the deputy prosecutor general , who took
up the case at once , his chief being on a
vacation. He will hold a preliminary In
quiry at Geneva tonight or as soon as pos
sible and return tomorrow in order to re
port to the federal council.
The federal authorities had been Informed
of the visit of the empress , and they noti
fied the governors of the cantons the cm-
press expected to visit , Instructing them to
take special police measures for her com
fort and safety If It appeared necessary. They
were not Informed of her majesty's Intention
to visit Geneva , nor were the local author
ities there aware of her presence , as she was
traveling Incognito. The police are nol
blamed , though tbo circumstances responsi
ble for the lack of precautions are wldelj
regretted. All Switzerland is profoundly
stirred with sorrow and Indignation. The
papers of all the cities have printed extra
editions , expressing horror of the crime.

The police here believe the murder th

to mortality of Illness among United State <

regulations ensured such remarkable hcalth-

lie replied : "It is far more than u meie
que&tlon of dietary. Illness is prevented on

tries by the most careful provision in con
nection with every condition calculated to
affect the health of troops. The dothlng
the water supply , the pitching of camp , the
rations , all involve considerations which nro
only decided upon after anxious thought
Of course our army authorities have had
long experience of these expeditions to guld-i
them In providing every safeguard possible
for the health of troops. The United States
army , on the contrar > . seems to have been
thrown Into Cuba In a hurry. The results
are not surprising. Look at what we have
Just done In the Soudan. There an array
of 23,000 men has been sent across l,4io
miles of desert , far from civilization , en
tirely dependent upon its own communica
tions for suplles. Every trial of tropleal
climate has been encountered and yet there
is practically no Illucss. To describe how
this has been achieved
would entail nn ac
count of all the arrangements made by thn
army and medical departments nnd the army
service corps and transport corps. "

distance to realize the heaviness of the
blow Russia's peace proposal has dealt
Trance and Frenchmen. The latter now
see how lightly their ally regards obllgn-
tlons to them , and all hopcw and Illusions
In regard to the lost provinces have been
dissipated In a moment. The shock has
been so received that JlusBla deemed It
wise to try to soften It by launching a
suggestion for a compromise , whereby
Alsace-Lorraine would bo neutralized ; thus
( wtablUhlng a zone between Franco and
Germany and apparently removing the ne
cessity for extensive armaments. The
scheme Is equally ns practicable as the
czar's peace pyrotechnics. Trench self-
oateem will never consent to give up Its

Lorraine Is necessary for Ihe security of
