MANILA , Sept. 18. In an Interview he
with him by the correspondent of the Assi
lated Press Archbishop Dozal of the Phllli
ilno Islands said
"I earnestly hope the Islands will not r <
main Spanish , because the rebels are nee
o strong that such a course would Inevltab
cause appalling bloodshed. The reconquc
of the natives Is Impossible until after yea
of the most cruel warfare. "
Ho also expressed the hope that tl
slands would not become abbolutcly Ind
icndent , because It was certain that dlssci
ilons would occur which would result
ncessant strife and a lapse Into barbarls
and the natural Indolence of the tropic
race. The only hope , the archbishop d
clared , was that a strong western pow
would Intervene now. Delay was dangero
jecause the people are Intoxicated , val ,
glorious and restless. Ho said It was und
liable that the religious orders must g
because the whole people had determln
o abolish them now that they were al
to render thulr retention Impossible. I
aid the chief blame upon the Dominlcar
Augustlns and Franciscan recletans , t
richest orders , and next upon the Llcnedl
tines and Capuchins , which arc of less ir
portance. Jesuits , Archbishop Dozal saj
are comparatively blameless.
Ho added that the rival orders quarr
among themselves , intrigue , act unworthl
and slander their opponents , thus Increa
ng tholr general disfavor. The provincial
who arc approximately equivalent to arc :
leacons , are mainly responsible. They a
utterly bejond the control of the archblsho
who denies possessing much power.
The total number of Spanish priests In tl
'hllipplncs beforu the war was about 1OC
) ut lately every departing steamer has taki
fifty or 100 of them away and now bare
00 remain.
A native priest privately stated to the co
respondent that the reason the arihblshi
lopes for the expulsion of the frlarly c
ders Is that they have grown too powerf
'or him and he wishes to strengthen hlmsc
Several responsible Spaniards assured t !
corresitendent that they would refuse to r
man here If Spain were reinstated In tl
control of the Islands. Many of the Spanl :
soldiers refuse to serve again , and Spanl
officers are utterly disgusted with the re

jeconio American subjects.
The nnnexatlonlsts have a majority

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.
CoiiHldered In Council ,
PARIS , Sept. 18. At the opening of the
council of ministers today M. Sarrlen , min
ister of Justlco , BtntMl his views ot the case
nt considerable- length , expressing the con
viction that a revision was necessary for the
pcaca of the country and expedient on tha
ground that many of the decuments on the
douslcr appeared to be ot doubtful authen
ticity nnd , above all , that Colonel IIcnry'B
admission of forgery threw suspicion on all
bis evidence ,
