Cavalgnac then charged him point blank
with having forged the letter. The officer
attempted further argument , hut admitted
BUbsc'iucntly ' that the taut sentence In the
missive had been written by him at length.
When required by the minister to tell the
whole truth on his honor as a soldier Henry
broke down and confessed he had fabricated
the entire document. The examination ,
which had lasted three-quarters of an hour.
was then at an end.
Henry was allowed to drive hnrno and bid
farewell to his wife before being Imprisoned ,
but was accompanied by a military officer
who did not lose sight of him.
The wildest excitement prevailed tonight
when the news of Henry's suicide became
known.
Amid the countless rumors In circulation
the most credited Is oneto the effect that
ho fabricated the letter by order of Hols-
iloffrc. It Is further said that the former
minister of war Is compromised.

PAUIS , Aug. 31. Lieutenant Colonel
Henry cut his 'throat with a razor he had
concealed In his valise.
During -the recent Zola trial Henry ac
cused Colonel Plcquart of falsifying tele
grams. A duel followed , In which Henry
was wounded.
The next scene occurred In the Chamber
of Deputies , where Colonel Plcquart pro
claimed the letter a forgery , and as a result
was arrested , while Henry's villainy was
rewarded by his being appointed Colonel
PIcquart'B successor In the Intelligence de
partment.
It Is now evident that Henry forged the
letter with the express object of paralyzing
Colonel Plcquart'a efforts to expose Major
Kstcrhazy and to get n revision of the
Dreyfus case.
The letter was written In bad French , a
fact which first led It to be regarded as
spurious. It Is said that If the cabinet de
cides upon a revision of the Dreyfus case
M. Cavalgnac , minister for war , will resign.
The scene of Lieutenant Colonel Henry's
avowal was most painful. When ho saw It
was useless to further deny his tongue be-
catno thick and ho could not speak. It was
feared ho would have an apoplectic stroke.
On the way to the fort ho addressed his wlfo
as "my poor wife , " adding , "I am under ar
rest. "
The officer of the company was under or
ders not to lose sight of him fcr a moment ,
and therefore ho could not s ? * his wlfo
( done. All three proceeded to Ms bedroom
to got the necessary clothing. Henry then
clasped his wlfo in his urms and ex
claimed : "My conscience Is pure und free
from every sting. "
This Is much commented upon as going
to show that ho may possibly have forged
the letter under orders from hi ! ) superiors.
Lieutenant Colonel Henry was a. peasant's
son. Ho was born In Pouzay In 1818 , and
enlisted In u foot regiment as his brother's
substitute In 18G.1. ' He had a good military
record for bravery and inexorable discipline.
Ho was -a prisoner of war in 1870 and was
wounded In the Algerian campaign. He was
lacking In education , spoke no foreign lan
guages alid owed his promotion primarily tc
his 'reputation for blunt straightforward
ness.- . ;

When Uautenant Colonel Henry was sura-
luoncd (0 ( the residence of the nillilster. of
war ho found there Colonel Paty uu , Clam ,
Count Estcrhazy , General BolBdeffre , Gen
eral Itogct and M. Cavalgnac. The war
minister had the suspected letter on hit
desk. Ho took It up and said to Henry :
"You did not make known the agent whc
furnished this letter. My attention has beer
culled to the fact that the docket gives nc
name. "
Colonel Henry said ho had forgotten the
name In his case , but would know the mar
If ho would see him.
"It Is a pity you have forgotten , " said M ,
Cavalgnac , dryly. "Wo think the letter c
forgery , nnd that you have been duped. "

Cuvalgnnc morn gently , "did you or did you
not write that letter ? "
"Since you nrpenl to my soldierly honor
It Wa I who wrote It , " he replied.
The fact of the suicide became known at
Mont Valrlcn about 9 o'clock this evening.
It la suppcmed It wan committed about 5 In
the afternoon. When the officer * entered
hli cell Henry was found dead with a ter
rible gash In his throat. Shortly before
midnight Madame Henry , who had been In
formed , went to the fortress nnd was ad
mitted , the officials granting her permission
to pass the night beside the body.
Figaro believes the Chamber of Deputies
will be convoked in extraordinary session
and that a strong parliamentary commission
of Inquiry will bo appointed. M. Cavalgnac
has declined to receive the resignation of
General Gonsc , under chief of the signal
staff.
The cabinet has held two stormy sessions.
It finally arose , having apparently failed to
arrive at n decision on the question ot re
vising the Dreyfus sentence , for the cus
tomary official note was not Issued. It Is
possible , looking to the excited state of pub
lic feeling , that the government deems It
advisable to proceed cautiously and to con
ceal Its decision for the present.
M. Dccasse , minister for foreign affairs ,
Is said to h&vo been violently attacked by
his colleagues for his Ignorance of the In
tention of Emperor Nicholas to Issue bis
disarmament proclamation , but after the re
vival of the Dreyfus question the proposal
has taken a secondary place. It In alleged
that several ministers , Including M. Drls-
eon , the premier ; M. Mareujouls , the minis
ter of commerce , and M. Troullot , minister
of the colonies , demanded a revision and the
Immediate supersession of several staff of
ficers. M. Cavalgnac , however , remained
firm , opposing this course on the ground that
Lieutenant Colonel Henry's forgery had not
altered the case as affecting Dreyfus' guilt.
The opinion thus far is that Estcrhazy Is
cashiered and will retire on a small pen
sion. Even otter leaving the council the
ministers continued to argue.
M. Faure has deferred his Intended return
to Havre. It would be Impossible to de
scribe the sensation that has thrilled Paris
and It Is not unlikely that at the next meet
ing of the Chamber of Deputies 'the ' govern
ment will bo defeated.
It Is said that when the Interpellation
In the Dreyfus case was coming up In the
Chamber of Deputies this letter was secretly
communicated to the court-martial and was
the chief evidence upon which Dreyfus was
convicted. The anti-Dreyfus papers are
dumfounded at the arrest of the colonel ,
whllo on the other hand the papers which
have been supporting the proposition to re
open the case are Jubilant. They now de
mand the Immediate release of Colonel
Plcquart , who Is imprisoned on charges con
nected Indirectly with the Dreyfus affair ,
and they also Insist upon a review ot the
Dreyfus trial.
When Count Esterhazy was Informed ol
the arrest of Colonel Henry and ot his ad
mission , ho exclaimed , "This Is too terri
fying. "
Colonel Henry's confession threatens tc
rekindle the Dreyfus agitation moro heat
edly than ever and seems to shake the
publlo confidence In the army. Even the
Llberte , a strong anti-Dreyfus organ , says :
"It must cause the deepest pain to all
honorable men that officers ot such standing
show such a lack of moral sense. "
It Is reported that at today's cabinet meet
ing the ministers admitted that a revision
ot the Dreyfus trial was unavoidable and
a public announcement that the ministry
had decided to Initiate such a revision. U
expected goon.
Another report Is that the minister foi
war has declared that he Intended to compel
the resignation of the chief of the general
staff , General Bolsderfre , and his HUbordl
nato , Gonz , because In two years' personal
Investigation they had not succeeded in dis
covering the foreery and led successive wai
ministers to pledge themselves to the gen
uineness ot the documents.
The Temps this afternoon asserts that th (
disclosures made to the ministers todnj
have decided the minister of war to placi
Major Count Estcrhazy on the retired Hat
Colonel Henry was attached to the wui
department when Dreyfus was convicted one
ho was one of the prominent witnesses whc
testified unfavorably to M. Zola during th (
latter's sensational trial on the charge o ;
libeling military officers.
The arrest ot Lieutenant Colonel Henry IB
one of the most sensational developments In
the whole of this extraordinary affair ,
Colonel Henry has been throughout the
champion of the army against Colonel
Plcquart , with whom he fought n duel ,
This new development appears to alter the
aspect of both the Dreyfus and Zola cases
nnd to practically nullify the evidence ol
Generals Pellleux and liolmleffre. nnd the
declarations of the minister for war , M ,
Cavalgnac , In the Chamber of Deputies. It
fact some people believe that perhaps the
real turning point In the Dreyfus caie ha ;
been reached and that the arrest of Colonel
Henry will lead to a revision of the trial
of the prisoner of Devil's Island.
It appears that so soon as M. Cavalgnai
assumed the office ot minister for war hi
charged the official bureau to make n thor
ough search ot the Dreyfus case , and 1
was this Inquiry which resulted In the re
covery of documents lately read In thi
Chamber ot Deputies by M. Cavnlgnac
showing that proof of the guilt of Dreyfui
was forged. When Colonel Henry was sum
moned to the ministry for war and qucs
tloned by M. Cavalgnac In the presence o
General Holsdetfre and others , he at firs
affirmed the authenticity of the Incrlmlnat
lug document , but when discrepancies wen
pointed out , ho at first admitted addlni
sentences , and finally confessed to fnbrlcat
Ing the whole letter. It is affirmed , how
ever , that while this discovery hat ) no
changed M. Cavalgnac's belief In the culpa'
blllty of Dreyfus , the minister Is detormlnei
to punish all the guilty parties , no matte :
what their rank or position.

Whether General Terry mcann thai

the deaths of the entire army encamped

had been the rate for several days.
As to the hospitals being unclean and
there being a lack of food and the food belnf ,
regular army rations badly cooked and otbci

COMPLAINTS HORN OP IGNORANCE
All the WUIicn of the Slcl
Would I'rove Fntnl.
WASHINGTON , Aug. 31. Secretary Algc
with Mrs. Alger paid a visit to Fort Mye
last evening and Inspected the arrange
ments at the hospital there far the treat
rnent for the cases of fever coming fron
Camp Algcr. They were found to be of th
first order. The surgeons In charge ar
supplied with everything conducive to thi
comforts of the patients that money cai
buy ,
It was a noticeable fact that many o
the sick soldiers complained of hunger am
this Is In spite of the fact that they ar
given all the food that the nature of the !
ailments will permit of. Few of the vis
Itors to the army hospital who see the ty
phold patients , emaciated In appearance
calling for food , realize that to grant thel
desire for colld food would be to cdndemi
the patients to death ; that the Immedlat
result of the administration of anythlni
more than limited quantities of liquid fooi
would cause perforation of the Inllamei
Intestines , hemorrhage and death. Secretar ;
Algcr'e attention has been strongly dlrectci
toward this fact by the reports that come t
him from the medical officers of the fieli
and garrison hospitals.
Major Taylor , the surgeon In charge a
Fort McPherson , Ga. , hospital , has HUffcrei
from adverse criticism based on the obfcr
vatlon of Inexperienced visitors and whll
he has refrained from answering criticism
published In the newspapers , he has sub
mlttcil the facts to the War department
His statements exactly bear out the obser
vetlons of Secretary Alger as to the mis
takes made In assuming that the patient
were underfed. Moreover , Major Taylo
takes occasion to show by figures Just wha
he has done for the patients In the matte
of food and attendance. His bill for mil !
alone is fSOO per month ; he has moro Ic
than can be used either for drinking pur
poses or for the patient * . He provides
Rprctal dirt in upeclnlty arranged kitchens ,
ho ban seventy-one trained nuriri , over
100 hospital attendant ! ! and employs num
erous laborers to clean the mess halls and
tents.
Secretary Algcr lays the criticisms that
have boon pained upon the hospitals are
but namplcs ot those that come from nil
hospitals.

week four deaths from yellow fever have
occurred nt Vcra Cruz , Mcx. The authori

The physicians at Tamplco state that tin
yellow fever has attacked only those par
sons who do not take proper care of them
selves. There IB no danger of the fevei
breaking out here or hardly any other polm
along the Mexican border , due largely t (
the climatic conditions and the elevation o !

about thirty feet of water , Its main deck

P. E. Butler , of pack-train No. ,1. writing
from Santiago , Do Cuba , on July 2.ld , says ;
"We all had diarrhoea In more or less violent
lent form , and when wo landed we had m >
time to see n doctor , for it was a case of rush
mid rush night and day to keep the troops
supplied with ammunition and rations , but
thanks to Chamberlain's Colic , Cholera nnd
Diarrhoea Remedy , we were able to keep nt
work and keep our health ; In fact , I sin
cerely believe that at one critical time this
medicine was the Indirect saviour of our
army , for if thu packers had been unable to
work there would have been no way of get
ting supplies to the front. There were no
roads that a wagon train could use. My
comrade and myself had the good fortune to
lay In a supply of this medicine for our
pack-train before we left Tampa , and I
know In four cases It absolutely saved life. "

facturers of this medicine , the Chamberlain
