PARIS , May 31. MM. Dcroulde and
Marcel-Habe't , who have been on trial be
fore tlio assize court hero on the charge of
Inciting soldiers to Insubordination In con
nection ulth the election ot President
Loubet , wore acquitted today.
The court was crowded. The advccato
ncneral made the speech for the prosctu-
tlon , and In so doing vehemently denounced
the remark made yesterday by MM. Heauprr
and Hcrve , to the apparent displeasure of
the audience , which frequentlj Interrupted
him. Maltre Fal.itcut then made the speech
for the defense
The court became BO crowded that the po-
llcu were obliged to clcwa the doors , where-
u-Xn thoio who were shut out began bangIng -
Ing at the doors.
During the course of Maltre Palatcut's
defense of Oeneral Hcrvo ho read a news
paper criticism of the general , and M. DC'
rculcdo , rising , Bhoutcd : "This Is treason"
The prealdcnt of the court Interrupted
f M. Doroulode , saying " 1 have been leni
ent with you , you must be silent. "
M. Deroulodp , however , continued , and
concluded by turning to the Judge and shoutIng -
Ing , "Now arrest mo. Shut me up , for I
will not cease my attempts to throw par
liamentarism. "
Court In nn Uproar.
A great tumult followed. "Dravos" were
heard on nil sides. Sticks and hats were
waved and tlio Judge ordered the court to
bo cleared. An officer of the Republican
QuardH urged M. Dcrouledo and Marcel-
Habort to leave , whereupon the latter be-
caino Intensely excited , raised his cane , at
tempted to strike tbo officer and shouted ,
"Vivo Deroulcde. "
"Abas lea traltrcs" The whole audience
joined In the uproar , which was continued
until the police succeeded In clearing the
court. The closing scenes of the trial were
of a decidedly theatrical character. When
Alaltro Falatcuf had concluded his plea for
the accused M. Deroulcde arose and thanked
his "Drar friends" for their excellent de
fense , and concluded by declaring his rcadl-
ncfia to repeat the words which had led to
the violent scenrj Just previously witnessed ,
Al. Marcel-Habort next pleaded with the Jury
to acquit his comrade. If not , he said , he
desired to be Incarcerated with Ooroulcdo
rather than be free among the Insultcrs of
the army.
Tlio jury was absent for twenty-two
minutes , during which time the prisoners
bold a leveo.

After the Jury had pronounced the acquit

uudlenco rose enmasse and Invaded the dock ,
Jury boxes end other reserved parts of the
court room , shouting , "Vivo Deroulede , "
"Vivo lo Jury" and singing the Marsellalse.
As the republican guard led M. Deroulede
out of the court room ho was heard utter
ing threats as to his future action.
After their release MM. Deroulede and
Marcel-Habert proceeded to the offices of the
League of Patriots , whore they harangued
their followers. There were slight demon
strations on the streets and the police ar
rested a few persons who were shouting

The crowds attempted to rescue them , but
wore quickly dispersed.
MANAU PLEADS FOR DREYFUS
K\lileiiee All To n ( In Tnvrnril Ritcr-
linzy uM tli ( > Author of the
Uorilerenu.
PAIUS , May 31. The vicinity of the
palace of Justice was almost deserted today
when the court of cassation resumed hear
ing the arguments In the application for a
revision of the Dreyfus trial. Many of the
public scats In the court were empty.
M. Manau , the procurator general , con
tinued Ills speech , which was Intelrupted
> entcrday by the adjournment o the court.
Ho contended that Major Count Csterhazy
was the author of the bordereau which has
figured so prominently In the case , and not
Dreyfus , In tbo course of Ills remarks , ho
said that whoever was guilty , somebody
had committed the crime of treason. Ester-
hazy , however , he pointed out , having been
acquitted of the authorship of the
bordereau , cannot again bo prosecuted on
this ground , oven If ho wore a hundred
times guilty.
Later M , Mnnau said : "What proof exists
that there has bueij an act
of tienson of a nature to
comprise the security ot the state.
Are we not , perhaps. In Uio presence of n
number of unimportant locumcnts , as
General Mcrclor thought and , consequently ,
In the presence of a mjstorlous hoax , nn
nudaclous piece of dwindling perpetrated by
the author of the bordereau upon his foreign
correspondent ? This Is a terrible question
and one which Involves the most painful
presumption that of the martyrdom of a
man whoso Innocence Booms established by
eovoral now facts. "
M. Mannu's address was largely n repeti
tion of tbo statements of the reporter.
There was the same array of facts and sim
ilar deductions therefrom. The procurator-
general's analysis of the secret documents
was very close and ho wound up with an
emphatic declaration that there was nothing
in ilia secret dossier to IncriminateDreyfus ,
saying :
Tito DneuiiiontH Poricerlen.
" \\o do not understand why there was
such delay In submitting them to Investiga
tion. "
This statement caused a sensation.
Continuing , M. ( Manau remarked : "Ot
( ho three secret documents by which M.
Cavalgnac ( former minister of war ) sought
to justify the condemnation two were were
forgeries und the third does not apply to
Dreyfus. "
This declaration , uttered with Impressive
solemnity , had an Immense effect on the au
dience.
In conclusion. M. Manau said : "We as
sort that several new facts exist of such a
nature as to prove Dreyfus' Innocence.
Therefore , may It please the court to quash
Uie judgment of December 22 , 1694 , and
send Dreyfus , n * a defendant , before such
court-martial as the court may decide. "
This statement canned applause , which
the president suppressed by ordering the
court to bo cleared , Later the court ad
journed.

the disarmament commltteo met today and ,
as wa anticipated , failed to agree with re
gard to the questions of new Inventions
In armaments.
Tbo drafting commltteo of the arbitration
commltteo made some advancement this
afternoon. The American delegates sub
mitted their scheme relating to nn arbi

British proposal. It provides that each
country nhall appoint a single arbitrator
lo bo selected by the supreme courts of > li
signatory powers The tribunal shall h tv
a permanent central teat , and be composed
of at least three judges , who shall not be
natives or residents of countries belonging
to the powers In disaccord. The general
expenses shall bo shared proportionately.
In the event of new facts arising within
thrco months of a decision the tribunal shall
have power to try again the questions In
dispute.
Recourse to the tribunal shall bo op
tional for the signatory powers. The tri
bunal shall not take cognizance of any
dispute until assured that the parties con
cerned will accept Its decision. The con

bunal ustabllshed , when nine powers , eight
of whom shall be European or American ,
and four ofwhom shall be signatories of
the declaration of Paris , 1856 , shall have
adhered to the convention.
Apart from the above project the Ameri
leans proposed n special scheme of media-
tlon , providing that 111 the event of a dlf-
forence arising between two powers , each
shall choose another power to act as its
second. The powers thus selected shall do
all they can to reconcile the opponents.
The seconding powers shall , even when
war has broken out , continue their efforts
with a view of ending hostilities as soon
as possible.
ITALIAN ARBITRATION PLAN

to Conference.
THE HAGUE , May 31. The amendment
of Count Nlgra , head of the Italian delega
tion to the peace conference , to the Russian
arbitration scheme proposes the following
article :
First In the event of Imminence of a
conlltct between two or more powers , after
the failure of all attempts at conciliation
by means of indirect negotiations- con
tending pal ties be obliged to have rccouiso
to mediation or arbitration in cases indi
cated by the present act.
Second All other cases of mediation or
arbitration will bo 'recommended by the
signatory powers , but will remain optional.
Third Each of the blgnatory powers not
Involved In the conflict nas In all cases ,
even during hostilities , the right to offer the
contending parties its good offices or media
tion or to propose that they have recourbo
to the mediation of another power equally
neutral , or to arbitration. This cannot be
considered by either of the contending par
ties an an unfriendly act , even ID , a case
whore' mediation or arbitration , not being
obligatory , It would be rejected.
Fourth A demand for or offer of media
tion takes precedence of a proposal for arbi
tration , but arbitration may or must bo pro
posed , according to the circumstance , not
only when there Is no demand or offer of
mediation , but also when mediation would
have been rejected or would not have led to
conciliation.
Fifth A proposal of mediation or arbi
tration , until formally accepted by all the
contending parties cannot , unless theie be a
convention to the contrary , have the effect
of Interiuptlng or delaying impending
mobilization or other preparatory measures
or military operations.
Sixth Recourse to mediation or arbitra

MANILA , May 31. 6.20 p. m. Details
regarding the capture by Filipinos of two
officers of the United State * hospital ship
Relief yesterday have just been obtained ,
The Relief lies In the harbor In front of
this city. Third , Ofllcer Fred Happy and
Assistant Engineer Charles Ulauford rigged
n sail on one of the whip's luats and went
sailing along the shore on the south , op
posite the Insurgent lines. The boat be
came becalmed near the shore and some
native canooa with Filipinos on board put
out and captured the two men who were
unarmed , and also took possession of tbo
boat. The United States turret ship Mo-
nadnock quickly sent a boat with a landing
party ashore , under cover ot Its guns and
shelled the nhoro briskly. The natives
however , rushed the prisoners Into the
woods before the Monadnock's boat reached
land.
Persons on board several other ships saw
the affair through glasses , but were un
able to prevent the capture of Messrs.
Hcppy and Blanford.
, Friendly natives arriving hero from the
I country around San Isldro and San Miguel
I report that a reign of terror has prevailed
i slnco the American troopi were withdrawn
j I from those pirts of the Islands. The in-
| surgcnts who are returning there deal
, vengeance upon those of their countrymen
'who ' have shown any friendship towards the
Americans during the latter's occupation of
the territory. The frlendllcs declare that
unoffending people are being murdered dally
I and that their houeas are being burned and
their property confiscated. Plenty of eym-
pathizens with the Insurrection remained
during the Americans' stay and they have
been reporting these Instances of friendli
ness towards our troops. The refugees add
that the Inhabitants were badly oppres e I
by native soldiers before the American oc
cupation , but that their condition Is worse
now. Doubtless there Is much truth In the
reports , though such stories from Filipino
sources are alwajs magnified.

WASHINGTON. May 31. The president
today declared to a congit slonal calloi
that there wua not at present any con
! templation of largely Increasing General
Otis' forces In the Philippines. He said
that nothing had been received from Gen
eral Otis which Indicated the necessity for
more troops beyond the regulars who are
to be sent to relieve the retiring volun
teers. But the president added that if ad
ditional reinforcements because necessary
they would bo promptly furnished. A
number of governors of ttates had advised
him that they could furnish regiments in
short order If the occasion required. But
at the same time the president expressed
his strong belief and confidence that the
necessity for mustering In additional vol
unteers In accordance with the authority
granted by the army reorganization bill
will not arise.
Secretary Alger was with the president
for some tlrao discussing the situation.
When ho left the White House ho denied
that General Otis had cabled yesterday that
30,000 troops would bo necessary. General
Otis , said he , had been notified from time
to tlmo that all the troops ho considered
necessary would be supplied to him and not
a word of complaint has como from him.
"This morning I cabled to Otis , giving
him definite Information as to the number
of regulars bo would have after the vol
| unteers are withdrawn. Including , the
Nineteenth Infantry , which was delayed at
Pence by the stranding of the transport
Mcade , ho will have 25,000 regulars. I
asked him If more than that number would
bo required. Wo deslro Information be
cause If volunteers roust be mustered In
It will require all the tlmo between now
and the end of the rainy season to muster
them In , equip them and transport them to
the scone of action. Wo cnuld. If neces
sary , furnish General Otis -with about fi.OOO
or 6,000 additional regulars without calling
for volunteers , but the sending of the ad-
dltlonal regulars would reduce the troops
nt the military posts In this country to a
minimum and cramp us somewhat In Cubi
and Porto Rico. Wo have absolutely no
reason to believe that General Otis will
request more troops than wo can furnish
without enlisting volunteers"

NEW YORK , May 31 A special to the
Herald from Manila says Information has

bers of the volunteer regiments In Manila

war praying that they receive their dis
charges In Manila Instead of at the places
of enlistment and that they be allowed

was'explained that they believed the Phil-
Ipplno Islands "offered rare opportunities
for Industrious and enterprising Americans
to make for themselves hemcs" and that
tliej desired to remain "for the purpose of
taking imrt In the development of the min
ing. ngrlcuUuinl and Industrial resources of
tlio Islands. " The petition1 stated that In
the event of favorable nctton by tbo gov
ernment those signing U pledged their
united support In upholding the laws and
protecting the Interests ot the United States
there , and would , If so desired , become

organization as might be uecoieary for the
best protection of Amerldan interests In the

twccn Police Captain Price and Counsel j
Moss , the former having gone on the stand
boiling with wrath over his treatment by
Mr. iMoss at previous sessions.
The remainder of the day was taken up
with an investigation of statements concernIng -
Ing alleged abuses nt the Tombs prison , con
cert hall licenses , and tluslr method of Issu
ing , the question of whether Timothy D.
Sullivan's Dcnoy theater had compiled with
the requirement of the police and building
departments , whether other places in the
tenderloin district wore being conducted ac-
coidlng to the form of law , and whether
certain Individuals bad attempted to buy
their way Into and secure positions on the
pollco force.
Roger Shcody , receiving clerk of the Old
Dominion Steamship conipa.ny , testified that ,
w Ishlng to become a policeman , ho had been
taken on May 18 , 189S , by Policeman Dugau
to a man named Hart , In the liquor busi
ness , and at Dugan's suggestion had given
Hart $400 to secure him a position on the
force. Hart told him he would liave him
appointed in about two months , at least ,
and ho would get a special examination. He
was never cited for examination.
Reglna O'BTlen. the 'Wife of Detective
Sergeant O'Brien , testified that she toad In
troduced a young man named Cunningham
to James J. Hassett , a collector ot Insur
ance , because Cunningham wUtied to get
on the police force and Hassett said bo
might bo able to help him. Cunningham
swore Hag&ett said ho could put 'him on
the police force for ? 40dN.and , that he would
have to pay htm $200 down. Cunningham said
Hassctt told him lie had his "influence" as
n lawyer "who had a great pull with Presi
dent York. " He gaye Hnssett the $200 and
Hasaett gave ( him a rc3W < - { That was In
April , ISSis , aiid * his nftr-vj'roliuu waa llleil.
In August ho met Hart , lo whom Hassett
told' the witness he had turned over the
money. Hart asked him for $50 more "to
push ( be thing along. " Ho got ils ex
amination paper , which Hassctt told him
to bring lo 'him , so that he could "fix It
with the examiners. " Later Hassett told
him that Hart had gotten Into trouble. Then
ho had Haesett arrested and he was held
In pollco court for trial.
The receipt from Haesott for the $200 was
put In evidence by Mr. Moss. The witness
testified that Halt had told him that the
$200 had been given to Leo Phlllpps , secre
tary of the Civil Service Board.
Captain Price was called. Ho did not
know how many tlmea William R. Nelson
had gone ball for prostitutes In the last six
months. Ho knew that Nclfion went ball
very often. "Mr. " Moss sam tnat tne total

1898 , to April , 189D , was 734 , and that Sam
Nelson and his 'brother ' had balled out 558 ,
while Frank Farrell had bailed out forty-
five. Caplaln Price was allowed the oppor
tunity to deny In tote the testimony given
against him at a previous session by Simon
Jluttner , proprietor of the Broadway
Garden. Ho described Buttnor'e evidence as
false In every particular. Captain Price
said that 'Mr. Moss had led a man to testify
falsely against him. Then Captain Price
and Mr. Mess engaged In a bitter personal
quarrel , each attacking the other's private
character.
Captain Prlco denied that he knew of the
existence- protection over disorderly re-
sortH.
Mr. 'Moss ' questioned him closely about
several alleged resorts in his precinct. Ho
had nrreflted about 700 women In his pre
cinct In the last seven years ; only 300 of
these were discharged. 'Mr ' , Moss said that
this number was only a fraction of the total
that were doing business In Captain Price's
precinct. The witness said ho did not know
anything about this.
Ho maintained that there had been no
pool room running In lilo precinct since last
August. Mr.Moss told the witness that ho
would require him to give further testi
mony and the committee then adjourned

As a preliminary the eastern , western and
gulf lines have reached an agreement upon
the differentials to be allowed the general
lines on export business , as against the At
lantic port lines. It has been decided that
export grain coming from the 'Missouri ' river
points might be taken to the gulf at a rate
of 4 % cents per 100 pounds below that made
by the eastern roads to Newpoit News and
Baltimore , with a lu-cent rate on corn
from the Missouri river to Baltimore the
rate to the gulf ports would be 11 % cents.
It this settlement of the question Is found
to bo acceptable to all the Interested lines
the dlfferonccp between domestic and export
rates , which have latterly been the subject
( it complaint before the Interstate com
merce commission , can easily be adjusted.
The chief reason given by the eastern lines
for making such a discrimination was the
competition of the southern lines. Half n
do/en meetings have been held for the pur-
po3c of determining just what differential
the gulf lines were entitled to , < but no agree
ment wns reached before. Now that this
has been done the chief obstacle In the way
of harmonizing domestic and export freight
rates would seem to he disposed of.

RAPID CITY , S. D . May 31. ( Special Tel
egram. ) Your correspondent today had an
interview with Lena Bouts , the JOUIIK girl
who was brought from the western part of
this county , together with her little brother ,
to answer to the charge of murdering their
father.
The girl told for the first tlmo her story.
It was revolting to hear of the intensely
true ? treatment of their father as told by
the llttlo girl. A man , woman and eight
children living In a home like a pigpen. No
furniture and no food. They scarcely knew
what clothing was. Gunnysacks and old rags 1
answered for their shoes and undergar
ments. When the sheriff went to the hut to
get the children ho found the girl dressed ,
In clothes made from an old bed comforter , j
Lena told the correspondent that she does i
not regret the deed. She and her brother ,
had planned the killing of her father for two j I
weeks. The boy showed his sister hovv to I
oa4 the .rifle and bad her do theshooting'
She took a steady aim and fired the bullet ]
through her father's head , after locking all' '
the doors In the house. The two young
children then prepared breakfast and waken
ing the four remaining children , the young-1
est a year old , the six fatherless urchins
sat down to a "big breakfast" and "ate all
they wanted for once. " When Lena ivvas
asked If she was mad , she said : "No , ho
was so mean and ugly that he ought to be
killed. I was looking for a chance and i
killed him when it came. " | I
The two children are being cared for by I
the sheriff and wife. The case will not bo
prosecuted.
