RENNES, Sept. 11.—Dreyfus has borne the terrible shock with marvel ous fortitude, one might almost say with unnatural calm. Yesterday he seemed stuplfled when M. I*aborl com municated to him the verdict, but he has since rallied. He passed a quiet night and tobp when his orderly brought his water at 5 o'clock this morning. Mine.

The implication turtle court of revision was taken to him ut noon by M. l.abori’8 assistant and he signed it. Today he has spoken little, though he has seemed In lietter spirits than might have been anticipated. The meeting with his wife was naturally very affecting, but both held up as well as possible. 11c said to her: "I am not uneasy regarding myself, as I shall soon be free, hut I think of you and my poor children. They will be branded as the children of a traitor.” He Is convinced that ten years’ im prisonment to which he is sentenced will be wiped out by the five years of solitary seclusion he has undergone on Devil’s island, and he expects to be released by October 15, which will be live years from the date of his former iuntil mmiuuu. lie in nu miikuiiii' umi he has made an extraordinary request of Ids wife for a novel to read In the meantime, explaining; that his mind is bo shaken and weighed down by re cent events that he experts to divert his thoughts and to get ail the recol lections of the past three months out of his mind, lie thinks that reading a novel will afford the desired mental repose and keep him from brooding. The correspondent of the Associated Press called upon Mme. Dreyfus after her visit to her husband and saw her father. M. lladamard, who said his daughter was hearing up wonderfully well, considering the circumstances, but desired to remain undisturbed to day, in view of the emotional strain of the interview. M. lladamard said Mme. Dreyfus and the family were hopeful and looked forward to some favorable development. “The verdict is an infamy,” he said. “Captain Dreyfus is in poor health, as everyone knows. He has been extreme ly ill from the moment of his arrival in France. His health has not Im proved and the nervous effect of yes terday's terrible blow is bound to react on his general condition. Ills suppres sion of all outward depression is due to his almost Incredible forte of will, but it does not Imply that he is insen sible to the mental and physical tor ture he has undergone. On the con trary, the family Just now see in his weak state at health and abnormal Impassivity an ugly sign, and fear for him more than they care to express." The town has been perfectly calm. There has not been a sign or a demon stration nor a cry for or against Drey fus or the Jews heard anywhere. A number of people gathered to see Mme. Dreyfus visit the prison, but they were quite respectful. The troops and masses of gendarmes who yesterday gave the renter of Rennes the appearance of a military camp have vanished. There are hard ly any gendarmes in sight, except neat the Dreyfus residence, where a few arc posted. Ilurtt* the F*r*nrh ( Ur. INDIANAPOLIS.

Dreyfus has been con demned, but though a majority o those in the court room Saturda afternoon expected the verdict, the. were completely stupefied when it was given. The silence which prevailed in the room, when men turned pale and caught their breath, was more impres sive than any other manifestation could have been. Maitre Demange sank hack in his chair Hnd tears trick eld down his cheeks and Maitre Labor! turned white as a sheet, while all around the court room looked at each other In silence. Positively the only sound to be heard was the rustling of papers from the reporters' benches as each press representative tried to be first to send the news. As the audience left the court room fully ten or fifteen men were crying openly and the majority of those pres ent wulked quietly down the street for more than a block without speaking a word. It was like a funeral pro cession. Meanwhile a tragedy was being en acted In the little room off the court room, where Dreyfus listened to the reading of the verdict. He had been told the rpsult by his lawyers and had wept bitterly, but when In the pres ence of the officials of the court martial he listened Impassively to the sentence. His wife, who was waiting in torture and suspense at her house, bore the news bravely and when visiting her husband in the afternoon showed the oniookers who were in the streets no sign of her suffering as she walked from her carriage; lo the prison. Mathieu Dreyfus was not present in court in the afternoon, but visited his brother after the verdict had been rendered. He found him perfectly calm and without any manifestation of surprise at the finding of the court. The prisoner simply shrugged his shoulders. uttering an expressive "bah!” adding as lie embraced his brother as the latter was preparing to leave: “Console my wife.’’ The text of the Judgment is as fol lows: Today, the 9th of September, 1899, the court-martial of the Tenth Legion army corps, deliberating behind dosed doors, the president put the following question: "is Alfred Dreyfus, brevet captain, Fourteenth regiment of artillery, pro bationer on the general staff, guilty of having in 1K94 entered into machi nations or held relations with a for eign power or one of its agents to induce It to commit hostility or under take therefor by delivering the notes and documents mentioned in the docu ments called the bordereau according to the decision of the court of casea tion of June 3, 1899?" The votes were taken separately, beginning by the inferior grade and youngest in the last grade, the presi dent having given his opinion last. The court deeiares on the question by a majority of five votes to two: “Yes, the accused is guilty." HORSES AMD MlllS fOR ORIENT. (iomnnirnl M ill Srnil 3.000 Horses HnU Same Number of Miller. WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.--The quar termaster's department of the army is paying especial attention just now to the transportation of animals, includ ing cavalry horses and pack mules, to the Philippines. Arrangements have been made for the transportation of about 3,000 cavalry horses, including those of the Third cavalry and an equally large number of mules. Many of these animals are being transported by way of San Francisco, and the re mainder are on their way to Manila by the Aleutian route from Seattle to Japan. The last named methods of animal transportation are somewhat of an experiment, and the result is being watched with considerable interest. The department contemplates sending the entire Third cavalry to the Phi in I’ines over this North Pa. ifle mute. The men are on the steamer St. Paul and the horses on the steamers Gar onne. Athenian and Victoria. The Garonne was the first to start from Seattle, and according to advices re ceived at the war department, arrived safely at Dutch harbor, one of the westernmost islands of the Aleutian group, on August 21. low:* Ofr.nm \ft«*r II in TORONTO, Sept.

Sept. 9.—Thit Captain Dreyfus will be condemned was the : almost universal opinion heard in Rennes last night. Hitherto there had always been a divergence, but now both camps, the Dreyfusards and the anti-Dreyfusards, seem unanimous In the conviction that the verdict will go j against him. Upon just what this is based and the precise reason for the conclusion are a mystery, hut there is no disguising the fact that from M. Labor! down to the numerous Dreyfusards who crowd the hotels and cafes nnd who Thurs day night were hopeful that Dreyfus would be saved, all seem now to Hgree that his last chance is gone. The one source of hope is M. Labori himself, who said yeserday afernoon to the correspondent of the Associated Press: “We fear Captain Dreyfus will t>e condemned, but we do not Intend to throw up the sponge. We shall go on fighting for him.’’ M. Jaures. the socialist leader, and other prominent Dreyfusards, ex pressed a similar opinion. Excitement is at fever heat and nothing is dis cussed but the verdict of today. The military precautions are of the most elaborate character, and no attempt at disorder is likely to have the slight est success. Orders have been issued to repress the first symptom of trouble | with an iron hand. A small anti semitic meeting was held here In the afternoon, and the complete calm that attended it is an indication of a quiet day today. A strong force of gen darmea guarded the approaches to thri building where the meeting was held, and their orders were W »rr*st the 1 first man who raised a serlrffous cry. j Nothing occurred. Indeed, the inhab itants of the town seemed indifferent and the neighborhood of the lycee and the prison is deserted save for a few’ gendarmes. The news of the publication of Count von Buelow's speech in the j Reiehsanzeiger reached Rennes last night and is considered very impor tant on the eve of a verdict, which in some quarters it is thought will be regarded as a slight by Germany, if it be a condemnation, as b?lng tanta mount to a public refusal to take the word of Emperor William, as his min ister is merely his mouthpiece. According to the latest report the 1 verdict may be delivered between 3 and 5 o'clock this afternoon, the court adjourning after M. Demange’s speech until 3 o’clock. There is some criti cism of M. Laborl's decision not to speak, the friends of M. Demange thinking it his object to escape his share of the responsibility in the event of a verdict of condemnation. M. De mange once having seen Dreyfus con demned under his own advocacy would naturally like M Lubori to share the ! criticism this time, especially as M. ! T.abori has assumed such a prominent part in the proceedings. GERMANY SPEAKS ONCE IM3RE. Official Declaration Ma«l* Which Kion* mate* Dr^yfu*. RERUN.

The mistake arose through a confusion of Ideas. Both President Kruger and Vice President Joubert de clare that they are determined to work for a peaceful settlement. In the raad this morning debate was resumed on the concentration of Brit ish troops on the frontier and the stop page of ammunition intended for the Transvaal. The house adjourned shortly before noon, after adopting un animously the following resolution: "The volksraad having considered that friendly correspondence is still passing between the two governments, that the concentration of troops In great number near our border has a restless effect on the inhabitants of the state and that the Transvaal has lived in friendship and peace with ail na tions and desires to continue to live In such friendship and peace, now de clares its regret at the fact of con rent ration, and expresses tho opinion that In the case of eventualities which might lead to enmity or war between the two governments, the cause would not lie with the republic. “As regards the stoppage of am munition at Delagoa bay, (he volks raad trusts that the government will act according to circumstances. "The raad further resolves to drop the matter of the concentration of troops on the border for the present, until the government shall supply fur ther Information to the raad. although the Information obtained Is unsatis factory. Nevertheless, with a result to the negotiations pending, the raad declares Itself determined In the mean time to maintain the rights and Inde pendence of the republic." NEW MOVE BY THE fILIPINOS. Agu'naldo's Congress |n Cilra Session N'nniinzlFR Kolul < onservutIves. MANILA, Sept. 9.—A Filipino who has arrived here from Tarlac says an extraordinary session of the revolu tionary congress took place at Tarlac August 24. Auguinaido presided and those Mablni as president of the su preme court and Gonzaga as attorney general. They both represent tho most conservative and temperate ele ment. Mablni, who recently resigned the foreign secretaryship, is the ablest man connected with the revolution. Gon azga was the president of the last peace commission. The proceedings of the congress disproved the report that Agulnaldo had declared himself dicta tor. A decree has been issued by the Fili pinos compelling the resignation of all foreigners in Filipino territory. The Chinese, who are a large faction of the population, are considered foreigners, including those born In the Philippine islands. Applications must he made on stamped paper, which figures large ly In all the business transactions of tho insurrectionary government. This seems to be largely a scheme to tax Chinamen.
