VOICE OF ESTERHAZY French Officer , from His Retreat in London , Gives Out a Statement , rS CLEAN BREAST IN DREYFUS CASE i Longer to Appear in tie Hole of a Scapegoat. 'SIRES TO DISTRIBUTE RESPONSIBILITY. His Own Acts Performed in Obedience to Superior Officer. ABANDONED BY HIS MILITARY CHIEFS Known that Many of the Document * I'll the Kamniin llre > fun Downier to lliivtlleeii I'oruerlcx. ( Copyright , 1S9S , by PrciS Publlahlfg Co ) LONDON , Sept. IS. ( Now York World Cablegram Special Telegram ) Major Eslerhazy has born safely staving In Lon don , having shaved off his moustache as his only attempt at disguise. This has proved satisfactory for the purpose , as ho has ic- malned undiscovered by private detectives , both English and French , who have been hunting him In the Drejftm case. He Is about to make a full confession of his sbaro In the Dicifus plot and as ho admits ho cannot return to France , It Is evident his share vvculd Involve criminal consequences to him. Ho has authorized the following statement : "There Is no longer any Justice for mo In my own country anil the time has now ar- rlrcd to make a full disclosure of the part I pla > ed In the affairs of Drejfus. I Intend to make this disclosure In the Interest of truth , regardless of Its result to Drejfus personally. I can no longer allow myself to bo made a scapegoat. The responsibility must bo fairly distributed. Everything I did was In blind , unquestioned obedience to ix superior officer. I am a professional soldier. I know no law but the law of ab solute obedience to my superior. If I vvcro ordered to take a gun and shoot my owa brother I should do so without the slightest hesitancy. Abandoned hj Him Chief * . "I have now only my own honor to con- older , the military chiefs have abandoned me. I owe them no futthcr allegiance. You ask me was I a spy , was I a secret agent cmplojed hy the French military Btaff to watch attaches of foreign powers. I answer that I acted lojally under orders. My Jus tification shall bo made plain at the proper time , which Is now very near nt hand. "You want to know whether my dis closures will clear Drejfus. I answer that out of 1,000 documents making up the Dreyfus dossier I know that many nro forged and I am prepared to show by whom and under what circumstances these forg eries were committed. Whether Dreyfus Is the Innocent man his champions sup- pone remains to bo scon and can be safely left to the public to Judge when It Is In possession of the whole facts. " Di-cjfiiK lii South America. George R. Sims , playwright and Journalist , propounds a novel theory about Dreyfus. Ho has long maintained that Dreyfus was rescued two years ago from Devil's Island through the Instrumentality of a French sjndlcate which exists to secure the libera tion of prisoners In penal settlements who can pay heavily for freedom. Sims now says ; "Tho real difficulty with the French gov ernment with regard to Dreyfus Is to find him. Tno years ago ho was rescued from Devil's Island and a substitute left In hla place The government officials are tcirifled at the outcry which would bo raised If France accepted the substitute. Dreyfua himself went to South America , wlit-re ho 13 living under an assumed name. Ills wife of course dares not quit France to Join him. That would mean a plot for his rearre-st or assassination Drejfus does not jet feel suf ficient confidence In the authorities and French people to put his head In the lion's den. If Drejfus ever rctuins to take a new trial jou may be sure his acquittal will have been absolutely guaranteed before hand. " 1'nrlN Ouvviirdl > Quiet. PARIS , Sept. IS. ( Now York World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) Jules Perl- vler , a leading member of the French bar , explains as follows the present legal posi tion of the Dreyfus case : "Judicially the ministerial decision to re mit tht1 case to an examining commission of three determines nothing except a resitting of the Dicjfus dossier by the light of recent events. The commission's decision will set tle revision or not. The decision U im portant politically as confiunlng and re vealing the sentiment in the country In favor of revision. " Paris Is quiet outwardly. There seems to bo a sense ot relief that revision has been decided upon , but there is a great commo tion among the chiefs of the army and they have undoubtedly the will to attempt revision at the eleventh hour by u military coup d' etat. Cavalgnac , who has tin own In his lot unreservedly with the army , Is pointed to as possible dictator , but public sentiment Is the most effective bar to fcuch designs. It hae vwred round completely In favor of re vision , the Justlco of which Is now recog- nl/ed except by a couple of nntl-Droyfus organs Estcrhazj's promised ronfesslon Is awaited with the keenest curloMty , though no ono will believe a word he says unlcsi supported by testimony.
