RENNES, Sept. 8—Today came the j
brginniug of the etui of the Dreyfus
trial.
With the Bpeeeli of the government !
< otnmlssury, Major Carrlere, the caae
entered upon the final stage of plead- |
ings and the verdict will be delivered ,
Monday at the leaat. There la talk of |
the trial ending tomorrow by holding
an extra afternoon aeaaton for M. I.a
liorl's speech and the declaration of the
Judges. This is, however, declared un
likely, as the government is imely to
desire to have the Judgment held over
Sunday to avert demonstrations on the
verdict when the workmen are free.
The government is not only fearful
regarding Rennes, but is particularly
concerned regarding I'uris and other
large towns where passions have been
heated, and the verdict, which ever way
It is given, is practically certain to i
give rise to trouble. It Is understood
that the government lias intimated its
desire to the president of the court
martial, Colonel Jonaust, and there Is
no reason to believe that he will noi
fall In with Its view.
t’oloncl Jouaust this morning tool:
the most Important decision yet taken
and took It entirely upon Ills own re- j
sponslbility, although he Is undoubted- ■
Jv only the mouthpiece of the whole :
body of judges. His decision to exclude
tbe testimony of Colonel Schwartzkop- 1
pen and Major Panizzardl was most
significant, as It meant that the court j
had already reached a conclusion und
that, the pleadings of counsel were
merely a waste of time and might be
dispensed with If they were not a ne
cranny.
The court has made up Its mind, but
■which way? This Is the vital point
and forms the sole topic of discussion
tonight. Uoth sides are equally con
fident that the court will decide in
accordance with their \iew. The Drey
fusards declare that the Judges cannot
convict Captain Dreyfus, after reject
ing the decisive evidence which
Schwartzkoppen and I’anizzardi would
have given in his favor. The anti- [
Dreyfusards, on the othpr hand, ex- j
pluin today's rulings on the ground ■
that the Judges recognize that the ev
idence of the two military attaches j
would he worthless, because they j
would be morally bound to save their j
agent at any cost. A sample of this
reason was given by the antl-Dreyfus
ards Journalist who, when praising
Colonel Jouaust's decision, explained:
“What weight could he attach to the
testimony of Schwartzkoppen and
Pauizzardi? The receiver of stolen
goods inu3t shield the thief as much
its he can.”
From the popular point of view the
scene in court when Colonel Jouaust
delivers the Judgment will be divested
of its most sensational feature owing
to the absence of the central figure. |
Captain Dreyfus will he taken to an
adjacent room when the Judges retire ,
to consider their verdict. A moment
before they are to re-enter a bell wilt ;
be rung as they take their places he- |
hind the long table, the infantry guard j
will present arms and remain at pre
sent arms while Colonel Jouaust,
standing in the center of the platform,
will read the verdict. Captain Dreyfus i
wlli not be brought back to the court j
room and will not be present at the |
public meeting of the Judges, but when j
the court room is cleared by the gen- j
dartnes, which will he done as soon j
as Colonel Jouaust concludes, the read- \
ing clerk will proceed to the room
where Dreyfus will he waiting and
read to him the verdict in the presence
of a couple of gendarmes. The public |
will thus lie robbed of the spectacle of j
ids emotions, which are bound to be
most profound, whether the decree
sends him to the arms of his faintly
or hack to the penal settlement.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 8. Telegrams

WASHINGTON, S5jt. 8.—The activ
ity of the war department officials and
the close figuring that is lieing done
in regard to the available force in the
Philippines indicates an eariy move
ment. It has been known that a for
ward movement was contemplated i.i
November, but tliete are now indica
tions that the campaign may begiu at
least a month earlier if thc;e should
be favorable weather conditions.
Hy October 1 General Otis will have
an army of 31,000 effective lighting
men. With the arrival at Manila of
the other troops now being raised it
is suggested there may be formed un
other corps for the purpose of pursuing
the Filipinos in some other tmrt of the
island of Luzon. In this connection
it is known that many officers look
witli favor upon the suggestion that
an army should be landed at Lingayeti
ami move down the Dagupati railway,
thus taking the army of Aguinaldo in
the rear. This will necessitate the co
operation of the navy and the officials
of the navy department have consulted
with the war department as to what
can be done to advantage In this direc
tion. The navy has offered to send
a squadron to Lingayen bay, subdue
the town and occupy it, thus making a
safe iunding for the army, ehould the
plan of attack be decided upon.

REXN13S, Sept. 7.—The sal.'dtlon of
Captain Dreyfus hangs on a word from
Emperor William. This is the general
opinion here tonighl. If the kuiser !
consents to allow Colonel Swnrtzkop
pen, the German military attache in
Parts In 181M, to testify before the court
martial or send deaposltion, or what is
considered more probable, to allow his
dcsposltlon to be accompanied by the
actual documents mentioned in the
bordereau, then Dreyfus is saved.
If the emporer, however, decided
that It Is not in the Interests of Ger
many for Colonel Swartzkoppen to in
tervene then Dreyfus' case is hopeless
and his condemnation certain.
Tonight the eyes of France are look
ing across tlie frontier to rttuttgurt,
where the kaiser is staying, lie is in
the position of the spectators in a
gladiatorial combat in the coliseum in
ancient Rome, with Dreyfus lying at. !
the foot of the antagonist ami watch
ing whether the emperor points his
thumb up or down. At a late hour
this evening he had not given a sign
either way and Frenchmen ure wait
ing, with breathless interest the first
indication of his will.
To all intents and purposes Emperor
William stands today the arbiter of
the Internal peace of France, for every
one anticipates that King Humbert
will follow his lead. This Is probably
the explanation of the delay. Emperor
William has gone to Wurtemburg
from Alsace-lairraine and King Hum
bert Is at Turin. Communication be
tween the two monarchs is therefore
somewhat complicated and. as they
will undoubtedly agree upon Identical
ttuiauiiriiu I rortlvintr ♦ /» \1 I tih/ipl'u
uppeal. it Is possible that several days
will elapse before their decision is
known. The opinion generally held
here is that Emperor William and
King Hu{n,b£ff will allow Colonel
Swartzkoppeii arid Colonel Panizzardl
to be examined by a rogatory commis
sion arid their desposilions to he sent
toirRennes witli supplementary evi
<lenee from the originals of Eaterhazy's
<communications.
The anti-Dreyfnsanl.s are extremely
exasperated at what they characterize
as M. Laborl's “trick.” He liad long
been seeking an excuse t.i invoke the
intervention of the German and Italian
sovereigns and seized the appearance
of Cernuschi as his opportunity, de
claring that the admission of the evi
dence of this foreigner justified his
application regarding Hwartzkoppen
and Panizzardi.
M. Labor! insisted that the appear
ance of Cernuschi on the witness stand
was quite without precedent, but tho
anti-Dreyfusards point out, and with
a certain amount of reason, that the
counsel for the defense were really the
first to introduce foreign testimony, as
they summoned the English journalist,
Rowland Strong, on the question of
Eater'nazy's confession to having writ
ten the bordereau. Anyway, it can be
safely asserted that tin- admission of
Cernuschi as a witness for the prose
cution came a±> a veritable Godsend to
the defpnse, giving them almost at the
last moment a more or less legitimate
basis for M. Laborl’s application to
summon the German and Italian mili
tary attaches.
The anti-Dreyfusards assert that the
members of the court martial will ig
nore the affirmations of these foreign
ers, but in less prejudiced circles it is
believed the court cannot disregard the
solemn declarations of the two at
taches without giving rise to a still
greater situation in an international
sense than now prevails.

RERUN. Sept. 7.—The Lokal An

whether he would go to Rennes. Colo
nel Sehwartzkoppen curtly replied:
No. F do not think the emperor will

RENNES, Sept. 5.—M. l.ahori this
afternoon telegraphed personal appeals !
to Emperor William and King Hunt- |
bel t to grant permission to Colonel I
S< hwui txkoppeu and Colonel Panlr.
r.ardl, German and Italian military at
taehes in Paris in 1K94, t<i come to
Hen nee to testify In the trial of Cap- j
tain Dreyfus. This is the news of the ^
day and the chief topic of conversation ;
in the cafes and among the journalists.
'1 ho appeals were emp tied In eloquent
terms, Invoking the assistance of their
majesties In the name of Justice and
humanity. They are quite supple
mentary to the formal applications
that will be made by the government
commissary, Major Carriere.
The demand of M. latborl, that the j
court martial should Issue processes ,
subject to the approval of the two sov
ereigns came like a thunderbolt today.
T he stop Is fraught with momentous
consequences, as It affords Emperor
William an opportunity to assume his
favorite role of arhltt r of the destinies
of the world. No one will lie surprised
ll Colonel Hchwartzkoppen In the name
of the kaiser makes a declaration that
will practically decide the result of the
trial.
Until S< hwartzkoppen an<l Pauizzar
(II must consult their respective sover
eigns before starting. but the counsel
for Dreyfus fully expect them to come.
If they coins at all, to be in time to
give their testimony Thursday, In
which case the trial would probably
conclude this week.
The appearance of Colonels
Schwartzkoppen and Panlzardl would
be the most sensational as well as the 1
most Important Incident of the entire
trial. Their depositions would be a ,
formal and emphatic dc'.'araticti that
they never had nny relations with the \
accused and they would make such a
statement Hint the court must order
un acquittal. Those who are in the
confidence of the counsel entrusted
with the defense express a firm con
viction that Dreyfus will now be ac
quitted Nevertheless one of the most
prominent generals with whom the
correspondent of the Associated Peer. 5
conversed today declares himseit
"quite pleased with the progress of tile
trial thus far,” and confident of u con
clusion "entirely satisfactory tq the
prosecution.”
It Ip reported this evening that tne
minister of war. General the Marquis
de Gallifet has sent orders to the gen
erals and other military witnesses to
leave Rennes and return to their ro
s| retire posts within two hours after
the conclusion of tho depositions and
not to be present during the pleadings.
They will thus be absent v',,on tho
vi edict, is delivered. General Merrier,
b< ing on the retired list, is not affected
by this order, but Generals Roget,
Gonse and I>e liotsdeffre must go.
Tlies' orders are intended not only to
avert a demonstration in favor of the
