Alno Grave ,
RRNNES , Aug. 25. After M. Bertlllon ,
the handwriting expert who Is at the head
of the anthropometrlc department of the
protect of police of Paris , had concluded the
first Instalment of his so-called demonstra
tion of the guilt of Captain Dreyfus , a prom
inent Dreyfusard referred to him ns the fin
do slcclo Cagllostro.
The Dieyfuaards icfuscd to regard him aa
anything but the prince of quacks. They
covered his remarks -with ridicule and pro
test that the admission of his fantastic
theories s evidence , before the court-mar
tial Is a disgrace to Franco
"C'ost tin honte" was the remark heard on
nil aides when 'the ' session closed and thw
audience , mainly made up of Droyfusards ,
was toeing pressed outslilo by the gendarmes ,
who clear the court room as soon as the
court adjourns.
Nevertheless , oven the Dreyfusards do not
deceive themselves ns to the effect M. Ber-
tlllon'H "demonstration" may have on the
judge * , whom they fear may be gulled by
what the Drcyfusards consider spurious. All
the judges have passed through the Ecolo
1'olytechnlquo , the highest school of ssl-
once In Franco , and they arc thus peculiarly
ntorestod In such "evidence" as M. Bertll-
lon's. Moreover , with the aid of the Innum
erable diagrams and specimens of writing
which ho submits to them , they may bo able
to follow his reasoning Intelligibly , which
is more than any member of the audlenco
could do today. If the judges accept Ber-
tlllon's premises that Droyfus as an ex
port spy did not wrlto ordinary handwrit
ing , but In close Imitation , striving to glvo
the letters the appearance of having been
traced. In order to bo able to repudiate
them as a forgery If detected then the
structure 'built on this groundwork may bo
scientifically correct.
Even Droyfus , when shown Bertlllon's
demonstrations , admitted the Ingenuity and
plausibility of the system , though ho nat-
urftlly declared that It was built upon a
false basis.
Selcntlnt i * Pnnnlonnte.
A remarkable feature of Bertlllon's depo
sition was the beat and excitement put into
what van said to be a culm , .dispassionate
demonstration of bis theory. He thundered ,
ehoutcd and waved his amis aa though cn-
gaeed in some terrible dlsmite. Once ho
literally shrieked , and numbers of the usual
audlenco who had been unable to follow
"him " and were taking the air In the court
yard rushed back Into the hall , breathlessly
Inquiring what had happened and Imagined
that ho was fulminating some dreadful de
nunciation of the accused.
Their excitement was turned Into hilarity
when they found that ho was momentarily
Impressing upon the judges the significance
of the exact space , measures in centimeters ,
between two words in the bordereau. The
military witnesses , all of whom sit In a
bunoh , leaving Colonel PIcquart and M.
BrtullUB severely Isolated , followed M. Bor-
tlon ! with a grave and serious loqk. Evi
dently they had received a mot d'ordre to
preserve this attitude , for without seeing
the diagrams they could not have under
stood any better than did the general public.
The Echo do Paris announced today that
dhe counsel of Dreyfus had obtained pos-
coonlon of certain documents mentioned In
the ( bordereau , in Estcrhazy's writing , which
they "would uroduco in court next week as
n coup do theater. The correspondent of the
Ansoclntod Press 'Inquired as to this in com
petent Dreyfusard quarters this afternoon ,
Ho was assured that the statement was er
roneous , 'but was told that the defense In
tended , In the event of Captain Dreyfus
bolng rccondomned , to ask the German government -
ornmont to communicate these documents
proving hla innocence nnd that they bad
reason to believe such a request would bo
Granted.
T ) Clitm Ilrtnlitcil l y Illneiifi.
The clerk of Uio court read a medical
certificate signed by two doctors whoso
uainos wcro unknown to tbo audlenco , de-
clarlntr It was luioosslblo for Colonel Du
l\ity do Clam to leave his bed to come to
Kcnnos and -testify.
M. Labor ! , leading counsel for the defense ,
asked Iho president of the court , Colonel
Jouaust , to Instruct two well known medical
men to examine Du Paly do Clam , but
Colonel Jouaimt refused.
Itowland Strong , an KiigHsh newspaper
man , was then called to the witness stand
qnd deposed the effect that Major Count
Esterhazy confessed to him that he wrote
the famous bordereau.
The n.ext witness was M. Oobert , an expert
of itho Bank of Franco , who can claim the
honor of being the first man In France to
have declared In favor of Dreyfus. Ho re
ported , on examine' the documents in the
case , ( hat EMcrhnzy , and not Dreyfus , wrote
the bordereau.
The witness opened hla deposition with a
brief personal statement protesting against
being characterized as a "doubtful export"
by the military party. "But , " he added , In
tones nf profound pity and turning toward
Droyfus , "I have no right to complain and
am silent when I see before mo the un
. , fortunate man who sita there.1 *
A murmur of approval from the audience
erected these words of sympathy.
M. Gobert then repeated the evidence he
had given before tbo court of cassation.
Ho gave his testimony In a clear , convincing
manner and was mest emphatic In attribut
ing the bordereau to Esterbazy.
( Answering questions of the Judges , M.
Gobert declared his conviction that the bor
dereau was written In n running natural
hand and said there was no tracing or other
trickery ,
General Con so asked to he confronted with
M , Gobert and put n number of questions ,
over one of which the witness stumbled , to
the Infinite satisfaction of the military wit
nesses , who smiled and exchanged joyful
\f\ \ \ glances.

PEACE REIGNS IN SAMOA

SAN FRANCISCO , Aug. 25 , The steam
ship Alaroeda arrived today from Samoa and
brings the following correspondence to the
Associated Press :
APIA , Samoa , Aug. 11. When the com
missioners loft hero It was feared by many
nntlvcfi nnd foreigners alike that serious
trouble might Immediately ensue , but such
has not happened. Both factions are quiet
and state that they will keep quiet. The
Mutaafa party has sent a large delegation
into Apia since the Badger's departure.
This party met the three consuls sitting as
a provisional government and assured them
of the desire of Mataafa and his followers
to keep the peace. Nothing further took
place at the meeting.
The provincial government Is being car
ried on without any hitch so far by the three
consuls. Of this body Luther Osborn , the
American consul general , is chairman. Ho
Is also acting chief justice of Samoa and
continues to act as the United States con
sular representative. Dr. Self , as president ,
claimed the office , and has referred the
whole matter to the German government.
Ho was. however , persuaded ultimately to
withdraw his resignation which he had
written to the commissioners , and accept
the holding of the office hy Mr. Osborn.
Mr. Osborn declined to accept the judgeshtp
unices Dr. Self was willing for him to net ,
and the doctor having given way , removed
all difficulties.
Mataafa , who has been seriously 111 , Is
now better.
Compensation claims of Britishers ere
being1 Inquired Into by ( Major Malr under
Instructions from Mr. tillol. They will
amount to about $80,000. It la claimed hero
that the three powers are bound legally
and morally to see that compensation Is
paid for losses during the late disturbances
to the foreign residents in these Islands.
Who pays that compensation Is quite besldo
the question and must bo agreed upon by
the powers. Under the Berlin treaty , the
three powers made certain declarations
which were and are tantamount to guaran
teeing the safety and security of Ufa and
property to the subjects and citizens. The
whites have not been belligerents during
the late war and many of them were pre
vented from remaining in their homes or
returning to the same by the naval authori
ties , who wished to have no impediment or
hindrance to military operations. Under
these circumstances , the whites feel that
they have a right to ask and obtain compen
sation from the united treaty rowers.

NICE , Aug. 25. ( New York World Cable-
jram Special Telegram. ) By the courtesy
of the French authorities the Olympla's sea
men and marines drilled ashore this morm
Ing. The officers are deslrouo of making a
good appcaranco In the parade In Now York.
It Is understood that the extreme affabil
ity of the French officers , both of the array
and navy , Is partly due to Instructions re
ceived from the government at Paris , which
desired to make use of this opportunity to
atone In a measure for the French attitude
durrlng the war with Spain ,
The officers of the Olympla have been vls-
tlng Monte Carlo and other places of In-
crest. Admiral Dewey remains aboard.
Father William H. I. Reancy. the cruiser's
chaplalu , having been granted an audience
with the pope , has gene to Home.
For the first time the admiral hero would
not see the reporters of the local nowspa-
? era. Since ho left Trieste ho has come
o the conclusion that If he denied ono of
the absurd statements of the European
newspapers about his plans and opinions , ho
would have to deny them all , and would
m\o but llttlo tlmo for himself. As for
the alleged Interview printed In a London
newspaper , neither the admiral's flag lieu-
.enant nor his necretary , through whom the
cards of all callers must pass , remembers
having seen the card of that representative
of the paper , or of the admiral having
spoken to him.
NICE , Aug. 25. The Olympla battalion
anded from the cruiser this morning at
Villofranche , near here , for drill purposes ,
the entire population of the town viewing-
; ho parade from the surrounding heights.
The men presented a splendid appearance.
Admiral Dewey received a visit shortly be-
! ore noon from Edward Andre , Belgian con
sul at Manila. He passed a aulct day on
t > oard and seemed in perfect health and
greatly benefited by the rnst he Is taking.

CAPETOWN , Aug. 25. In tie Cape House
nnd Assembly today , anticipating a motion
on the subject by Sir Gordon Sprlgg , for
mer premier , W. P. Screlncr , the present
premier , volunteered an explanation regardIng -
Ing the transit through Cape Colony of
ammunition and rifles for the Orange Free
State. Mr. Schrclner contended that ex
cept In lime of war , the prohibition of such
transit would bo a breach of the customs
convention. Ho laid on the table papers
confirming hla statement as to the details of
the war material so transmitted , and then
added that if war should unhappily ensue
ho would do lils duty as an earneHt and
loyal subject of the queen.
Sir John Gordon Sprlgg , having moved the
adjournment of the house , Mr. Roeo-Innes ,
former leader of the opposition , aeked
whether the governor of Cape Colony , Sir
Alfred Mllner , had requested the transit.
Mr. Schrelcer replied In the negative.
After further discussion , In which Sir
John Gordon Sprlgg dissented from the
prohibition , the subject was dropped.

M , GUERIN IS J5TJLL BESIEGED

PARIS , Aug. 25. M. Guerln nnd his fol
lowers , who are still besieged In the head
quarters of the Anti-Somite league , created
como excitement this afternoon by distribu
ting from the windows of the building cir
culars denouncing the Jews. When the po
lice prevented the people from picking up the
circulars the Guerlnltes bombarded the po
lice with bricks.
The police today deluged the walls1 In the
neighborhood of M. Guerln's fort with disin
fectants owing to the abominable stench
since the water supply was cut off.
At a late hour this evening a reporter from
the Antl-Julf tried to revlctual the fortress ,
but was prevented by the police. M. Guerln ,
greatly Incensed , fired two shots at a police ,
man. Neither reached the mark , but the
incident "will probably precipitate matters.
6:30 : a. m. All was quiet In the vicinity
of tbo Rue , Chabrol all night , but at 4 a.
m. a blaik flag appeared at the attic win
dow. Some days ago M. Guerln stated that
In the event of his death the party would
hoist the black flag. It Is known that two
of the party have been 111 , one seriously
from congestion of the lungs. Communi
cation with the houie Is strictly forbidden.
Even bearers of ordinary police passes are
not allowed to approach.
M. Guerln assumed watch on the roof at

which transmits red light and cuts off the
other colors. The discharge was thus ren

SPRINGFIELD , Mass. , Aug. 25. C. T.
Camahnn of Holyoke , chairman of the
democratic state committee , inado the fol
lowing statement this evening , In reply to
the protest of Mayor Qulncy , against the
action of the democratic state committee ,
at HB last meeting , In voting to elect the
delegates o the next nal'enil ; convention ,
at the coming state convention :
It Is unfortunate that Mayor Qulncy
should break his fong silence at this time ,
only to Incite Insurrection in the ranks of
the democracy L 'lie bitter attack on the
state committee for endeavoring to glvo the
party of this state an opportunity to cheese
delegates to the next national convention
who will truly and fearlessly represent the
democratic opinion of Massachusetts. When
the national organization promulgated Its
principles and namlnatcd W. J. Bryan for
the presidency Joslah Qulncy , then aa weTl
as since democratic mayor of Boston , re
fused to assert his allegiance to either plat
form or candidate.
Wo , to whom the party has confided the
management of Its affairs in this state ,
have been doing our utmost to build up
the organization. Wo bellovo that the out
look justifies us in the hope of cutting
down the republican plurality In the com
ing campaign to n figure lower than , any
year since 1893 , unless Mayor Qulncy's cov
ert invitation to bolt should bo accepted by
any considerable number of democrats. It
Is certain that the party is practically
united In the wish to nominate Mr. Bryan
and endorse the Chicago platform , and
that many of the former leaders who , with
Mr. Qulncy , loft the field In 1896 , are ngaln
with the old party.
I sincerely wish Mayor Qulncy could see
his way clear to aid the party In future
campaigns. I wish ho woufd tell his party
whether or not ho believes In the Chicago
platform and favors tbo ranomlnatlon of
Mr. Bryan. If such nro his faith and favor
ho could render his party a mighty big
service by proclaiming It In unmistakable
language.

Iaterenliin llliitory.
The Tenth regiment has an Interesting
history , and Is the most noteworthy regi
ment of the Keystone state. It was organ
ized Boon after the close of the civil war ,
and for almost a generation its commanding
officer was Colonel Hawkins , who was be
loved aa a man and adored ns an officer
by the entire state. Ho led the regiment
to the Philippines and took part In most
of the stirring scenes in that far-off land.
In the hottest of the fights the First Ne
braska was supported by the gallant Tenth
Pennsylvania , and a strong bond of friend
ship , christened by firs , grew up between
the two regiments.
The Tenth left Manila for home a few
days after the Nebraskans had embarked.
Colonel Hawkins was very 111 when ho loft
the islands , but he remained with the regi
ment , and It was thought that the sea
voyage would strengthen him. The hope
was vain. A few days before the transport
reached Ban Francisco Colonel Hawkins
died , and when the vessel passed through
the Golden Gate flags were flying at half-
mast and a funeral guard was pacing tbo
quarterdeck ,
On account of the loss ( thus sustained by
the regiment there was no noisy demonstra
tion when the transport came to anchor In
the harbor. One day was spent on board
In preparation for the landing and the body
of the dead commander was sent east to re
ceive the last honors from the state ho had
served so lone and well. The next day
the Pennsylvanlans landed nnd marched to
the Prosidlo , being escorted by the First Ne
braska. The city of San Francleco made a
fitting demonstration and the men of the
regiment wore entertained at dinner by the
Nebraskans , whoso close neluhbors they
were to bo In the camp , as they had been In
the field.
Soon after the arrival at San Francisco an
Incident occurred which showed the loyally
of the men and officers In the regiment. A
message came offering Lieutenant Colonel
Barnett the colonelcy. This not only meant
promotion for himself , but also for every
officer. The offer was declined. Lieuten
ant Colonel Barnett eent word back that ho
desired to be "mustered out as an officer In
Colonel Hawkins' resimcnt and not as Its
commander. " This loyalty to the dead
commander met with the approval of every
man and It must have been received in the
same spirit by the people at home. The
dispatches Thursday announce that Lieuten
ant Colonel James B. Barnett has been nom
inated as Btato treasurer on the republican

the homo of one of the eom'pui > les. and
spread from there to the other cities and
towns of the western part of the state.
Plttsburg alone raised $25.000 for the pur

In his address of welcome to the California
volunteers today Governor Gage said In part :
"ThoDresciit war la not a war of con
quest , notwithstanding the treasonable ut
terances of a few carping critics to the
contrary. The acaulsltlon of territory is

diers would be to forever lose our foremost
place amonz the powers as a commercial
and civilizing nation.
"Tho splendid work which you nnd your
fellow soldiers from every > part of the union
have accomplished must not be destroyed by
a rellnauUhment of ithe Philippines. Our
nation needs commercial expansion across
the Pacific ocean and the Philippines , gained
by both war and purchase , are necessary for

Navy Register in Its Issue tomorrow win
Recent letters from Manila mention the
Illness of Admiral Watson o itho source of
great anxiety to his officers. The Illness Is
the effect of nn accident which occurred to
his launch while lie was on board on July
11. The Baltimore , his flagship , has been
for some tlmo at Cavlto , leaving Manila BO
as to escape the full force of the typhoons.
Requiring to make a trip up the river , the
admiral started In his launch. A strong wind
was blowing and as the launch , the Undine ,
went under the bridge over the river , known
as the Bridge of Spain , tbo strong current ,
aided by the wind , set against the llttlo
boat and It was taken out of Its course and
thrown against a hawser from a sailing ven
ue ! . This rope carried away the awning and ,
striking the smokestack , took that also.
Admiral Watson , sitting In the forward
part of the launch and witnessing the full
danger of the accident , showed no conscious
appearance of having been startled , excea-
ulvely , by the occurrence , or In any way of
having suffered by It. Later , however , la
fact , before his return to the flagship , serious
heart trouble developed and In consequcnco
ho was regarded as extremely 111 up to tha
date of the letters of Jury 17. No one tint
his physician Is allowed access to him and
all business of tlio fleet Is forbidden. It la
hoped , however , that the enforced quiet may
restore him to IIn previous health.
