RI3NNES , Sept. 11. Dreyfus ha
borne the terrible shock with marvel
ous fortitude , one might almost saj
with unnatural calm. Yesterday he
Hcomcd stuplflcd when M. Labor ! com
municated to him the verdict , but hi
has since rallied. He passed a qule
night and rose when his orderly
brought his water at 5 o'clock thlt
morning.
Mine. Dreyfus and Matthlcu Dreyfus
his brother , visited him during the
( course of the afternoon , his brothci
subsequently leaving for Paris. The
Implication to the court of revision was
( taken to him at noon by M. Laborl's
Itssistant and ho signed it.
Today ho has spoken little , though
ho has Boomed in better spirits than
might have been anticipated. The
'meeting with his wife was naturally
very affecting , but both hold up as
well as possible. Ho said to her :
"I am not uneasy regarding myself ,
as I shall soon bo frco , but I think
of you and my poor children. They
will be branded as the children of a
traitor. "
IIo in convinced that ten years' im
prisonment to which he Is sentenced
will bo wiped out by the llvo years of
solitary seclusion ho lias undergone on
Devil's island , and he expects to bo
released by October 15 , which will bo
llvo years from the date of bis former
jondemnatlon. Ho is so sangulno that
! io has made an extraordinary request
) f his wife for a novel to read In the
meantime , explaining that his mind
s so shaken and weighed down by re
cent events that ho expects to divert
ils thoughts and to got all the recol-
ections of the past throe months out
if his mind. Ho thinks that reading
i novel will afford the desired mental
opose and keep him from brooding.
The correspondent of the Associated

icr visit to her husband and saw her
'nther. M. Hadamard , who said his
laughter was bearing up wonderfully

lay , In view of the emotional strain
) f the Interview. M. Hadamard said
tone. Dreyfus and the family wore
lopeful and looked forward to some
avorablo development.
"Tho vordlct Is an Infamy , " ho said.
'Captain Dreyfus Is In poor health , as
ivoryono knows. He has boon oxtreme-
y 111 from the moment of his arrival
n France. His health has not 1m-
iroved 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 duo
to his almost Incredible force of will ,
but it docs not imply that ho Is insen
sible to the mental and physical tor
ture ho has undergone. On the con
trary , the family just now sec in his
weak state of 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 n cry for or against Droy-
fus or the .Tows heard anywhere. A
number of people gathered to see Mine.
Dreyfus visit the prison , but they
were quite respectful.
The troops and masses of gendarmes
who yesterday gave the center of

RENNES , Sopt. 11. The expected
has happened. Dreyfus has been con
doiuned , but though a majority n
tlioHO In the court room Saturdn
afternoon expected the vordlct , the.
were completely stupefied when it was
given.
The fillonco which prevailed In Mir
room , when men turned pale and
caught their breath , was more Impres
sive than any other manifestation
could have been. Mnltro Demange
sank back In his chair and tears trick-
eld down his chocks and Maltro Labor !
turned white as a sheet , wlillo all
around the court room looked at each
other iu silence. Positively the only
sound to bo hoard was the rustling
of papers from the reporters' benches
as each press representative tried to
bo first to send the news.
As the audience left the court room
fully ten or fifteen men wore crying
openly and the majority of those pres
ent walked quietly down the street for
more than a block without speaking
a word. It was like a funeral pro
cession. .
Meanwhile a tragedy waa being en
acted In the little room off the court
room , where Dreyfus listened to the
reading of the verdict. Ho had been
told the result by his lawyers and had
wept bitterly , but when In the pres
ence of the officials of the court-
martial ho 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
onlookers who were in the streets no
sign of her suffering as she walked
from her carriage to the prison.
Mathieu Dreyfus was not present in
court in the afternoon , but visited his
brother after the verdict had been
rendered. IIo 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 ho 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 closed
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 1894 entered into machi
nations or held relations with n for
eign power or one of its agents to
Induce it to commit hostility or under
take therefor by delivering the notoi
and documents mentioned in the docu
ments called the bordereau according
to the decision of the court of cassa
tion of Juno 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 declares on the question
by a majority of five votes to two :
"Yes , the accused Is guilty. "

RENNES , Sept. 9. That Captain
Dreyfus will bo condemned was the
almost universal opinion hoard in
Renncs last night. Hitherto there had
always boon a divergence , but now
both camps , the Dreyfusards and the
antl-Drcyfusnrds , seem unanimous In
the conviction that the verdict will go
against him.
Upon Just what this is based and the
precise reason for the conclusion are
a mystery , but there Is no disguising
the fact that from M. Laborl down to
the numerous Droyfusards who crowd
the hotels and cafes and who Thurs
day night wore hopeful that Dreyfus
would bo saved , all seem now to agree
that his last chance Is gone.
The one source of hope Is M. Laborl
himself , who said yesorday afornoon
to the correspondent of the Associated
Press : ,
"Wo fear Captain Dreyfus will bo
condemned , but wo do not intend to
throw up the sponge. Wo 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
nt 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 antl-
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
darmes guarded the approaches to the
building where the meeting was hold ,
and their orders were to arrest the
first man who raised a seditious cry.
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
Relchsanzelger reached Rennes last
night and is considered very impor
tant on the eve of a verdict , which
in some quarters it Is thought will bo
regarded as a slight by Germany , if It
be u condemnation , as being tanta
mount to a public refusal to take the
word of Emperor William , as his min
ister Is merely his mouthpiece.
AccoVding to the latest report the
verdict may be delivered between 3
and 5 o'clock this afternoon , the court
adjourning after M. Demango's speech
until 3 o'clock. There Is some criti
cism of M. Laborl's decision not to
speak , the friends of M. Demango
thinking it his object to escape his
shnro 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. Labor ! to share the
criticism this time , especially as M.
Labor ! has assumed such a prominent
part in the proceedings.

confusion of Ideas. Both President
KriiRcr and Vice President Joubert de
clare that they arc determined to work
for n peaceful settlement.
In the laad this morning debate was
resumed on the concentration of Brit
ish troops on the frontier ami the stop
page of ammunition intended for the
Transvaal. The house adjourned
shortly before noon , after adopting un
animously the following resolution :
"Tho 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 thnt the Transvaal has lived
In friendship and peace with all na
tions nnd desires to continue to live
in such friendship and peace , now de
clares its regret nt the fact of con
centration , and expresses the 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 Dolagoa bay , Hie volks
raad trusts that the government will
act according to circumstances.
"The rand further resolves to drop
the matter of the concentration of
troops on the border for tin 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

ager , Don Fillpo Martol , Is not only a < .
self-mado prince , but a phenomenal
character.
For Don Felipe is not only the king
of gamblers , but a devout churchman
and the chief backer of the municipal
treasurer. Mexico City is almost dependent -
pendent upon this one citizen.
Martel was a rich man before the
Mexican government decided to abolish
ish gambling houses. Many Influential
Mexicans objected so seriously to the
absolute stopping of their favorite
pastime that the authorities thought
they would achieve a clever compro
mise by demanding from every gamb
ling resort a daily license tax of $1,000.
No one supposed that tfie gambling
spirit would bo strong enough to rlso
above this obstacle. This proved to
be the case and one by one the gamb
ling houses closed their doors.
When the field was clear Don Felipe
Martel approached the authorities
with ? 1,000 in cash and demanded a
day's license. In a few hours his
place was thronged. At a single stroke
ho had won the patronage of Mexico
and his doors have never ben closed
since. The dally outlay of $1,000 is
not missed from the dally revenue of
thousands.
It Is not remarkable that Don Fe
lipe's personal fortune should have
reached $2,000,000 In spite of the con
stant lavish expenditure. His chief
establishment Is as glitteringly ap
pointed as a palace. Liveried attend
ants minister to guests and refresh
ments and cigars are served at the
host's expense. Mexicans find no
amusement more alluring than a visit
to No. 2 Ganto street ,
Don Felipe's strong religious ten
dencies are so well known that nobody
was surprised when he built recently
In the village of San Angel a church
that cost more than $50,000 . The poor
people of the vicinity and many of
the rich as well have como to regard
him as a sort of fairy prince. His
own style of living encourages this
belief. The Martel mansion In Mexico
City is a magnificent affair , constantly
filled with guests. A curious feature
is that it contains forty windows the
number of cards in the Mexican deck.

Philadelphia Press : When contri
butions were asked in San Francisco
to pay the expenses of the reception
given to the returning California regi
ments it was noticed that the China
men were among the most liberal giv
ers. Each one of what are known as
the Six Companies contributed a lib
eral sum. the total from this source
alone being $4,782. This is mucn bet
ter than some American companies
fully as able did. It Is as gratifying
as it is unexpected. The fact that the
Chinese in California are willing to
help glorify an American army return
ing from the Philippines so recently
annexed to the United States proves
that they can become Americanized as
well as any other class of Immigrants
It shows also that they arc not averse
to this country gaining a foothold in
the Western Pacific ocean near to
China. During the past ten years there
has been an evident subsidence of th *
prejudice against the Chinese , which
was once so strong in all the Pacific
coast states. Part
of this lias como
from the restriction on immigration
which has checked the rapid increase
of Chinamen In this
country. But a
larger share has come from the demon
stration that much of the opposition
to the Chinese was bused on false
grounds. It has taken some years to
make this .clear , but It Is gradually
making Itself felt , and the result Is the
better feeling between the two peoples.
The Baker boys of Kentucky , not
caring to be killed In the feud In which
they are entangled in Clay county ,
where they arc largely outnumbered
by the opposing faction , prefer to take
chances with the Filipinos , who do not
shoot as straight nor fight so hard as
the Kontuckians. They have , acconl-
ingly , enlisted in the Thirty-first vol
unteer infantry. This makes about
forty Bluegrass Hghters-Hatflelds ,
Whites and Bakers in the Thirty-

paper in which n small hole was made
with the point of a pin. The box was
then taken to a dark room and the
