PARIS , July 1. ( New York World Cable
gram Special Telegram. ) ! was tbe only
newspaper man who wit * present when Cap
tain Dreyfus landed on French soil. When
3 Jearned yesterday that M. Vigule , chief of
French detectives , had gone to 1'Orient. 1
folio-wed on the next train. During the reg
ular slop at Auray 1 discovered that a mys
terious special train was speeding out of the
Qulbcron branch. Immediately It flashed
through my mind that the Qulberon pcnln-
nula was marvelouhly suited for eflectlng the
landing ol Dreyfuh , and so l abandoned the
trip to ruricnt and followed the special
train.
I found Qulboron a small , picturesque
town Port Hallguen lies a mile away and
I -walked the distance , passing M Vigule and
several of ihls staff on the way Now I was
r.ure that I was on tbe right track. At Hall-
guen the gtsnd'annch and t ivll police were
noticeably on the alert. 1 wanned tbe bay
unxiously. yet no war ship was In sight. But
nt fi o'clock that evening libhermeu coming
in announced that the cruiser Sfax , which
ei crybotlj knew took Dreyfus on board at
Devil's Ibland to bring him home , was lying
thix-e miles , on the other side of the cape
toward 1'Onent. Immediately 1 hired fislier-
Ejen to take me out to the war * > hlp We
iiad proceeded only a short way when we
found that the sea was too rough for us to
turn tiht point and my project of reaching
the Sfax had to be abandoned.
I was. however , the only American news-
7iaper man In the small place of IPO inhab
itants and H was certain I could not miss
being the first to nee Captain Dreyfus after
! hls long exile. An hour passed , then two.
The weather was becoming frightful. It
-was raining in sheets. At P o'clock two
iclosnd carriages came rolling up to the
pater front and a little later a company of
infantry marched along the street , taking
positions near the carriages. A cloud of
gendarmes .rieared the. waierj'front , . > j > 5

tempest became more furious and afl the
curious" throng were gradually discouraged
"by the long waiting behind the line of
tuildiers Suddenly through night glasses I
saw the lights on board hhip. There was no
tignal. no sound , save the hissing storm.
Then at 11 o'clock anotlier ship appeared ,
both about a mile off shore. . For a long time ,
interminable it seemed , they maneuvered In
en uncompre-henslble manner. Twelve o'clock
sounded on the bellh of the Quiberon dhurch
in the distance. It was all very dramatic.
Occasionally weird lightning flashed. On
the angry waves the two war hlilpji were
bobbing up and down und in front of the
fihhcrmen'h huts the poor , drenched soldiers
Ftood motionless in long lines , with bayonets
fixed. At 1 o'clock I went to the officers and
asked the reason Sir the Ions delay. They
drove m back to my quarters , but they , too.
were evidently uneasy and impatient. Tbe
puns of tlic soldiers were stacked and the
troopers vure resting. M Viguie nervously
looked sidcwlhe as if unable to understand
tbo Inaction of those abord the war ships. !

Ftaully telegraphing to ParlE and Rcnncb.
Then he came out.
"How can we expect to get him to Rennes

Then the train moved.
Ill * Condition Pltlnlile.
Mme. Dreyfus has teregraphe'd Clemenceau
that the condition of her husband is heart
breaking ; that he would be a physical wreck
she expected , but his mental change she
found especially lamentable. He seems to
have almost lost speech , speaking slowly
and reluctantly.
He lh not forgiving. On the contrary , he
is very bitter. He said to his wife :
"A man who has suffered w hat I have
suffered never forgives , does not want to for
give. What 1 have been through was worse
! than hell. "
Dreyfus IE so utterly soured that he shows
no great happiness at his return. He paces
his coir and sneers"Still In prison. "
Mme. Dreyfus was allowed to see him
twice today. She has obtained permission
to send , his meals to him and now Is trying ;
to secure a consultation of physicians to' i
decide whether or not to send him to a
hospital. Tbe wife evidently expects less i
change. Her visits have crushed her spirits.
Now she weeph constantly and plteously.

j was almost entirely hidden by n hooded

few lanterns It was only possible to catch
the barest glimpse of his unkempt gray

SOUTHAMPTON. July 1. ( New York
World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) Although -
though everything is being kept f ecrcl ratn
the .trial of the Shamrock and-the Britmrnla ,
the Shamrock will probably be completed as
fur as possible now by Wednejiday , whilst
the Britannia win not be much later , though
it is being recoppered. The point hae now
been set nt rest as to whether there are to 1
be any races. When the statement was first
made the explanation was given to the press i
that no racing was intended , the Shamrock
would merely test her speed with the Britan
nia , but since it has ibeeu officially staled
that there will be racing , the Prince of
Wales win , if possible , be present on at
least one occasion but no dates are yet
fixed. Captain O'Nelfl has been interviewed
and in reply to a question said :
"I have seen the Shamrock , but 1t is very
difficult ns yet to express anything like re
liable opinion , but we have been watching ;
very carefully the Columbia's trials with the
Defender. 1 know the Defender of old.
She If a fast boat and one by no means easy
to beat , therefore it was surprising see
how easily the Columbia beat her. That is.
of course , if reports are accurate. If the
Columbia can sail at the rate indicated , nil I
J can say is that the Shamrock has a her
work cut out. But she is a beautiful craft. "
The whole raring outfit of rope for the
Shamrock. Including a tapered main sheet.
" .T > fathoms long , has been specially manufactured -
ufactured by Messrs. H. Bannister & Co. of r

' was perfect. Of course it was hot. as a

I . business center , while those who came later
[ I Rent direct to the exposition grounds , that
i
! ' they might be present at the opening exer
cises.
The parade from the city to the grounds
was distinctively military , and in fact it
was a reunion of the volunteers and soldiers
of Nebraska who fought in Cuba , Porto
Rico and the Philippines. Many of the boys
reached the city Friday evening , but more
came yesterday morning. As a rule they were
not clad in bright new uniforms , such as
they wore when they left their homes a few
months ago to fight lor ttoeir country's flag ,
but instead they wore the blue that showed
signs ot service seen in the swamps and
everglades of Cuba and Luzon. However ,
the boys were given a most hearty -welcome I
and were the recipients of loud and lone '
cheen. from the time of leaving the respect

The last military organization in the line
was a detachment of the First Nebraska.
The passing of these boys was grestefl with
I many cheers and handclapping. jet there
was something pathetic about their appear
ance. They comprised a remnant of the
gallant boyr who have spent more than a
year in the Philippines. There were but
I twelve of them , coming from almost as
j many companies of the regiment. They
were the men who have been wounded In
' the engagements with the Filipinos or who
! I | have t > een sent home after struggling with
: the enemy and fevers of the pwampt and
i jungles of the islands. They wore all in
uniform , but thnir uniforms were tattered
and torn and cut by the bullets of the
treacherous native * whom thej- originally
j went abroad to assist , and who later on
turned against them. The little command
was officered by First Sergeant Smith.

followed by the boys , nearly 200. In command
of Major TenByrk , Quartermaster Homan.
' Adjutant Hughes and Captains Wherry and

wore the regulation uniforms and carried
their puns. They marched with the pre-

the number of sixty , under command of

"I have not talked American politics with

Those who entered Ttie Bee Popular Girl
Contest for vacation trips a month ago had
but little Idea of the magnitude the struggle j i
would attain before it cud or with what
keen attention the rare would be watched
day atter day with the most intense interest
by thousands of people in Omaha , South
Omaha and Council Bluffs. For several
weeks it has In-en the first topic of absorbIng -
Ing interest among the friends of the two
score of girls who tsbowed they had a chance I
to win , and the time and energy put into it j
by so many people for othfrs than them
selves can only be realized after figuring out
how many subscriptions to The Bee some of
the totals represent. A puzr.ling feature of
the contest to a great many people has been
the zeal which so many persons displayed
on behalf of candidates almost unknown to
them personally , and this can only be ex-
plained by attributing it to the love for sport
whirti chararterizeb Americans.
When the contest began to attract gen
eral and constant attention the success of
particular candidates became a matter of
pride in the firm , nnd not only fellow em
ployes , but in a large number of cases even
the members of Uie firm themselves took
active jiart on behalf of the young lady rep
resenting them The arrangement whereby
a year's subs'-ription to The Bee vai. al-
lowed to count for a large number of votes
was responsible In great menmire for the ex-
cltemenl of the contest , us with a few yearly
subscriptions a candidate was often able to
effect an entire rearrangement of the run-
iiing order. Early In tbe campaign It was
realized that yearly subscriptions were the
great source of rtrength and that hallot-
clipping , while not to be disregarded en-
tlrely , was not a method over which to ex
pend muoh time or energy.
Friends and acquaintances v.cre therefore
at < ked to subscribe and ; ; up a year's sub
scription. Thlt practice started slowly , but
when tbe Important results of it begun to
appear , and when It was seen that an hour's
work in an evening would furnUh new ex
citement for the next day , people ceased
to wait to be asked to subscribe , but began
( .ending and bringing in yearly subscription ,
and canting a block of votei , for their vari
ous candi au-t. Toward the end. wbt > n time
became a factor , it became tbe custom to
call a candidate up by telephone and inform
her whore she could pick up a few thousand
vtrtuB. Naturally the last few hours vwe
filUid with scurrying back asid forth for the '
managers and their proteges. i i

WASHINGTON , July 1. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Tbe sailing of the Hancock today
from Manila with the First Nebraska , and
the Utah troops on board , announced by
press dlnpatchet. from the Philippines , while
unconfirmed by officials at the War depart
ment , is thought lo b * authentic. In view of
the vessel having been ballasted pevcral days
ago. For a number of days the transport
which made an unprecedented run from San
Francisco to Manila , has been receiving coal
at Manila as ballast , tbe owner * , of the
Ktcarahhip having refused to accept the re
sponsibility of coaling a hlp at u foreign
port where tbe facilities ate as meager as
those at Manila. It it said that coal liar
to be carried on chipboard on the heads of
natives , many of whom are women , and
this greatly retards the iromptness to get
vessels away from their piorh.
The War department ha * prepared a roll
of regiments which have served in tbe east
and which are about to come home. This
roster nbows the number of battles in which
each regiment bat participated , and Ne
braska leads all the rest , ihavlng participated
In twenty-nine pitdied battlen mid lost
twenty-nine1 men killed and IfiOwounded
Of 1,200 men wifao went to Manila upwards
of a year ago but 740 are returning home ,
leaving on tbe first anniversary of the bat
tle of San Juan Hill , und which anniversary
wai- celebrated In Washington today by a
number of those who participated in that
famous charge and who bear the ecarn of
campaigning in Cuba
Should the Hancock have anything like
as successful a run as wah Its last trip from
San Francisco to Manila , it ought to reach
the metropolis of California In about twenty ,
four days It -expected that the First Ne
braska will remain In San Francmco for a
f on night , where a model camp 'has ' been
erected , and with good luck they ought to
reach Nebraska not later than August Ifi
In the organization of provisional regi
ments for service in the Philippines which
the president lint decided upon as the enl )
feasitile method of hecurlng additional forcef
to crufch the Philippine Insurrection ii li
believed that be w-ill tender a colotioliy to
General L. W. Colby of Boatrice. Adjutnn'
General Corlun it authority for the state
ment that men will -bo helnuted to command
the regiments who fchowud ability in tbe

prcitbed as to whether General Colby would
accept a colonelcy in view of hih fnrme1
