In the course of an Interview General Funston remarked that ho would not inind. etaylng ( n Luzon. , Ho dislikes war , but Inasmuch as there 16 fighting ho would like to Tomnin and aid in bringing it to a close. 'Speaking of the future ho said : "Tho only 1 ablution of the problem will bo through whipping the Insurgents. I do not think 'thoy will surrender. When -we begin aotlvo operations against them on a larger scale in the autumn wo will scatter thorn into small bands and I think when the soldiers com posing these bands sco that they are per sistently pursued they will throw away or hide tiolr arms and return to the pursuits of peace. A year bonce small bodies of armed men will be able to go anywhere In Luzon. The island was always infested with bandits and was never safe for Euro peans to travel in. Probably after the end oi the fighting the highwaymen -will be rooro numerous because the members of Agulnaldo'a army , who have lived for years with guns in their hands , have acquired a taste for bush life nnd would rather continue as highwaymen than return to work. "Cavalry is greatly needed hero. The country , when dry , Is superb for cavalry operations. The insurgents have none. One of their itrong points Is tholr ability to re treat rapidly. Cavalry could overtake and hopelessly scatter nnd punish them , and could subsist largely on the country. When cavalry is once hero it should bo given a chance to go ahead and not kept in towns for guard duty. Our greatest successes have boon gained when the regimental command ers have boon allowed to quickly follow up the advantages gained in battle. Small bodies of Americans , operating free.ly and commanded br officers 6f dash and energy , could badly break up the enemy. The capture - turo of Agulnaldo by calVary would be a less difficult proposition 'than the capture of the Apache chiefs In Arizona. " SHORE DUTY FOR SAMPSON Alter Conclunion uf llevrer Celebra tion , lie Will Giro Up Command of North Atlantic S .undro * . WASHINGTON , Sept. 1. At the conclu- eon | of the Dewey celebration at Now York Admiral Sampson will be relieved of the command of tha North Atlantic squadron. Tills action is to be taken at the request of the admiral , who bos already had much more than bis portion of sea service in his crado. After a short leave of abaanco ho will bo assigned to shore duty , probably in command of the navy yards. In considering the selection of Admiral Sampson's successor as oommander-ln-chlcf of the North Atlantic station the Navy department bos practically narrowed the fluid down to two names. It has been laid down as the policy to bo followed that the commands of fleets and stations shall be reserved wherever practicable for the nine rear admirals of the first grade. It has been found that of these ofUcera who are not already on ana service , or about to retire - tire shortly , there are three names Homey , in command at Portsmouth ; Farquhar , com mandant at Norfolk , and Sobley , president of the retiring board. Farquhar has been longest on continuous shore duty and it la Indicated here that either bo or Homey Is to pucceod Sampson. Movement * of Triun | > orti , SAN FHANCISCO , Sept. 1.

A com pany of volunteers went from hero this morning to Pltaya to Join Colonel Pienado'i command and arrrest the Yaquls who had destroyed the telegraph lines to Potam. The troops met a band of about eighty Yaqula and a short fight occurred , In which ona soldlor was killed and the Mexicans routed. General Torres' headquarters have been entirely cut off from telegraphic communica tion with the outside world for five days. The Yaquls burned about a mile of telegraph pales and carried the wlra away. Volunteers continue to arrive dally In columns of 100 or more and a heavy guarded pack train of mules Is kept busy conveying new guns and ammunition from the launches at Medano to Torrln. Many of the natives who occupy huts near tbo edge of the town have become BO alarmed that they carry their beds in near the heart of the towns to pass the night. General Luis Perez has suspended hostili ties until October , when cooler weather will have set In and the troops will be bettor able to take care of themselves.

The secretary of the navy has directed that all estimates for the requirements of tbo naval service next year shall bo submitted by tomorrow , Sep tember 1 , thus giving him three months for co-ordinating them for submission to con gress. Accordingly , the several naval bureaus bavo been active of late preparing their final figured and all the estimates , with the ex ception of those relating to armor and ordnance , will be in hand tomorrow. They fhow in general a considerable Increase all along the line owing to the rapid develop ment of the navy , the unprecedented amount of shipbuilding now in progress and tbo large demands growing out of the war and the ac quisition of new territory. The largest item is { 18,000,000 , under the head of "increase of the navy , " which Is } 5- 000,000 more than any previous estimate under this bead , It Is due to the unusual I number of war ships now In course of conj - j btructlon , aggregating fifty-four In all classes , a total much in excess of the num ber under construction nt any previous time In the history of the navy. These Include eleven battleshlpi , four monitors , three armored cruisers , six protected crulser/i , thirty-three dentroyori and torpedo boats and several miscellaneous craft , submarine boats , etc. There la no estimation thua far what new ships will bo needed , but the impression pre vails in well Informed naval quarters that the lecretary will confine his recommenda tion to three 0,000-ton protected crullers , to coat about * 1,2BO,000 each. These were roc. ommended last year and were the only ships not authorized by congrcaj , so that it Is thought likely the need of them will again be presented. llonealy In Detroit Journal : Long ago , he had taken the reeolullon always to be perfectly honest with his children.

The next two witnesses , however , gave strong testimony In fnvor of Dreyfus and bmlly knocked Oormnln'n testimony nbout. Ills cmiiloycr , a mnn mimed Kuhlmnn , getup up and declared Hint nil Oonnnln hnd said was untrue , and Major Infrcvlllo followed and declared ho never know Dreyfus , BO Germain's allusions to him were baseless. Knew Country li' Itln Yinidi. Captain Leramonnlor , who WAS a proba tioner on the headquarters staff at the same time as Dreyfus , depooed that the prisoner told him he was well acquainted with a cer tain German petition because he had fol lowed the Alsatian manouve.4. Dreyfus replied that Captain Lcmiuonnlcr mutt have mixed up his remarks. The prisoner added that he was acquainted with that part ol Alsace because ho had spent hla youth there , and not because ha was pres ent at the maneuvers of the Gorman army there. A witness named Villon then told a tale of how ho overheard a conversation In a Ber lin cnfo between two German ofllcers , In which a remark was made that mobilization plans were expected from Dreyfus. The cato , however , has elnco disappeared , and as thcro are no means of verifying Villon's story , It certainly should not have much effect on the judges. Two or three witnesses In support of Drey fus on artillery questions were next heard nnd Commissary Fleeher testified that ho was charged to Investigate the documents at the gunnery school nt Dourges nnd found nothing to Incriminate Dreyfus. Lieutenant Dernhelm testified that ho lent Esterhany documents dealing with artillery nnd was unable to get them back , nnd Ar tillery Lieutenant Urugere , who attended .1 gunnery course nt Chalons , testified that It was easy for an outsider to obtain particu lars about the guns. He said that he , him self , had on ono occasion lent his firing ; manual to an Infantry officer. General Roget naked to be confronted with the witness , and Bald the latter wrote M. Cavalgnac , then minister of war , a violent letter of resignation , In which he declared It waa a dishonor to serve In the French army. lionet I.ackH Down. This declaration caused a eccne , for Lieu tenant Drugere , turning to General Roget , cried : "I protest against General Roget's words. I affirm that I never said any such thing. " General Roget then backed down , saying : "Well , that was the general sense of the letter. " A roar of disgust came from the audience at this apparent underhandedneea upon the part of the general , 'and Lieutenant Brugere again emphatically declared General Roget was wrong. M. Labor ! , leading counsel for the defense , and Colonel Jouaust agreed that the letter should bo obtained from the ministry of war and read in court. The lieutenant expressed satisfaction at this step , while the general returned to his seat with lees buoyancy than ho left It , The next witness , Captain CnrvalhoV a-hand- some young artillery officer , proved nn ex cellent reinforcement for Dreyfus. He gave his evidence clearly and boldly and em phatically declared that there wore nq , spe cial precautions to keep tbo mechanism of the 120 short gun secret. Moreover , he added , from April , 1804 , the artillery officers bad a description of the hydro-pneumatic brake given them. "Here , " said Captain Carvalho , "Is an actual copy of the manual , which I hand o\er to the court-martial. " M. Labor ! then had an animated discus sion with Colonel Jouauet , who at first re fused counsel's request to read a letter which the latter had received yesterday evening , signed "Corning , " setting - forth that the firing manual had been copied by men referred to as "A" and "D. " Colonel Plcquart , in reply to M. Labor ) , confirmed the statements made in the letter nnd said he thought Major Lauth could say something on that point , whereupon the major roEO and declared he did not laiosv "Corning. " AUvocntcH Hiivc n I'oor Show. M. Laborl then asked to bo allowed to question Major Lauth , but Colonel Jouaust refused. Counsel insisted , but Colonel Jou- nust waived him down , whereupon M. La borl cried : "You suppress all awkward questions. " ( Sensation. ) The government commissary , Major Car- rloro , said : "I desire to point out that tbo defense is always asking to speak , while I am always refused permission to do so when I ask. " Colonel Jouaust , out of patience , retorted : "I have heard enough. Bo quiet. The In cident is closed. " This cavalier treatment of the government commissary , who , however , makes himself ridiculous whenever he opens his mouth , caused general laughter. General Sebert followed. Ho also proved n trump card for Dreyfus , as ho declared the wording of tha bordereau revealed pro fessional Ignorance. He also said the man who wrote It was not nn artillery officer and said such an officer na Dreyfus could not make the mistakes be referred to. General - oral Sebert entered Into a lengthy explana tion ! of lila statements , pertinently point ing out that an artillery officer would have known the Interesting parts of the Firing Manual and would not have written in the bordereau "take what Interests you. " The general again declared that the bor dereau could not have been written by an artillery officer or by one who had passed , through the polytechnic school. This made a profound Impression on tbo court , which was Intensified when General Sebert , who is a venerable looking gentleman , concluded fearlessly : "I am happy to have had the strength to carry hero my stone toward the edifice of reparation which the court Is building up with BO much care nnd confidence , while holding Itself aloof from outside passions. " Major Ducrecs deposed that he com manded a field battery , that be knew Drey fus and offered him certain information. But , ho pointed out , Dreyfus never asked him a question , although he knew be ( the witness ) ' possessed moat interesting Information mation , notably particulars about the hydro-pneumatic brake. General Mercler hero Intervened and said that at the time Major Ducreea was speak ing of the field piece bad been rejected In favor of the Deport cannon , and , he said , Dreyfus therefore could have no object in procuring particulars of the Ducros gun , More 8upportfor Droyfus was forthcom ing in the deposition of Major Hartraan of the artillery , who expressed the opinion that the author of the bordereau did not know what he was writing about since he spoke of. the " 120 abort" gun , when he meant the " 120 long" gun. The major led the court through a maze of technical de tails about artillery until Colonel Jouaust asked him to refrain from technicalities aa far as possible , evidently fearing that Hartman might reveal lecreta of the serv ice. Ilia evidence was directed entirely to phew , .that Dreyfus was not the author of the bordereau and that the artillery Infer mation mentlonel In ll was ficcewilble to | ninny officers of nil firms In the spring ot 1894. So far na the depositions were con cerned , Dreyfus ccrtnlnly hod every rmson In b'c pleased with to.lajr'g . proceedings. PrnPrritlnim In Uelnll. Following , ! n detailed report of the dny's proceedings' The Dreyfus court-martini opened today trlth the rending of nn official report on M. Dubreull , who , August 23 , testified to hating met Dreyfus nnd a Gorman attache nt the house of n muhi.il friend named Bodaon. The crowi-examlnatlon of the wltncfs had reflected on his chnrncter , but the report today - day was to the effect that ho never was ft horse denier , as claimed by M. Laborl , leadIng - Ing counsel for the defense , that hla charnc- ter was most respeclnbla nnd that ho WAI hold In general rstccm , M. Dcmnngo Insisted that the judgment of the court of coutancca In regard to M. Dubreull shoiild be read. The latter there upon advanced to the witness box nnd nn- nounced that ho 'had arranged for nil papers In the cnee to be 'sent to the court. In the meanwhile M. ' Dubreull rend letters en dorsing his character and thanked the court for the opportunity to defend himself against the attacks of M. Lnborl. The prls&ncr was questioned as to the ( Into of his relations with Madame Bodson and replied tha { It wan In 1887. nnd M. Dubreull , thinking that Dreyfus hnd fiald 1SRS , offered nmldst laughter to hn\o the date verified by two of M. Bodson's valets. Dreyfus expressed Intense Indlgnf'lon at the reference mnde In the court of his per sonal relations with Mndnmo Bodeon. "I emphatically reassert , " snld he , "that I never met any foreigners at M. Bodson's , nnd I beg the court to make such Inquiries nn nre necessary to ascertain the truth on this point. " Saw Hreyftm n < Mnnpuvcrfl. Oornmln , a gjoom , ono of the witnesses cited by Colonel Joununt , testified ho wns at Mulhnusen In 1888. where he was em ployed in a livery stable which , ho Bald , furnished a horse to the prisoner. Asked If the horse Jumped , witness replied : "Give him his head and you will sec. " Dreyfus , witness claimed , attended the Gorman maneuvers at Alsace at that time. Colonel Jouaust Have you seen the pris oner since ? Germain V < vs. 1 recognized him in the Bols de Boulogne as Lieutenant Dreyfus. Colonel Jouaust How did you know that ? Germain An officer named d'Infrevllle , a mnjor. told me. Colonel Jouaust Do you recognize him In the prisoner ? Germain ( looking nt the prisoner ) Yes. M. Domange Inquired whether the witness had not been prosecuted for swindling anfl had been acquitted. Germain replied in the negative , but he admitted that he had be n convicted of em bezzlement June 17 , 1893. Counsel also showed Germain was sen tenced to six months Imprisonment for em bezzlement in 1S98 , M. Laborl asked Ger.mn.ln if ho was ac quainted with M. de Beaurepalro nnd wit ness replied that he wna not acquainted with him , but he added that M. Bcaurepnlro knew the facts to which he testified through witness' friends and ho also admitted hav ing written to M. do Beaurepalro. giving In. formation which the latter had published In the Echo do Paris. In reply to the usual question , Dreyfus admitted that about 1886 or 1887 he spent.a furlough at Mulhausen , adding : DriilcM AUcmlliiK MnneiiverH , "Every yenr , both while studying and at tending the gunnery and artillery training schools , I passed ono or two months nt MulhnUEon. But I can positively affirm that I was never proson either in an official or semi-official capacity at the German maneuvers. 1 was never Invited to attend the Gorman maneuvers and I never dined or lunched with any German officer. On each visit I called on the goheral commanding at Mulhauson , with m regular passjiort. In ac cordance with my dhty. "I would llke'to lx > lnt out in regard to the maneuvering ground to which reference Is made , that the Mulhausen ground Is not ground over which maneuvers could be car ried out. It is merely a small drill ground , nothing more than a clearing In the Hart forest on the road from Mulhausen to Basle. It is true that in the course of my ex cursions in 1886 I might have seen regi ments drilling , but I emphatically declare that while out riding in 1886 or in 1887 I never dined or lunched with German officers , was never even invited to do so by foreign officers and never apoko to foreign officers. " Replying to Colonel Jouaust , Dreyfus sold that while he was at Mulhausen ho rode his brother's horae and did not remember any thing about the horse mentioned by Germain. Kuhlman , the livery stable keeper , who employed Germain at the time , testified that ho never rode with Droyfus as stated by Germain , that he never went to the maneuvers in company with Dreyfus and ab solutely denied all Germain's statements. Germain , the liveryman added , was in his employ and possibly accompanied DreyfuB , but the -witness had no knowledge of It. In conclusion Kulraann emphatically reiterated that ho never rode with Dreyfus. Ho said ho was well acquainted with the Whole Dreyfus family. IH'iileH Rurmulii'N Story. Major d'Infrevllle testified that he had known Germain since 1894. tie added that Germain Informed him } hat Dreyfus at tended the German maneuvers. Witness had never suld that an officer Germain saw in Bols de Boulogne was Dreyfus , for the simple reason that ho did not know Droyfus. Germain , on being recalled , asserted that he certainly thought Major d'Infrovlllo told him the officer leferred to was Dreyfus. Captain le Monner | of the headquarters staff , who was a probationer on the staff at the same time aa Dreyfus , deposed that while they were at the School of War in 1801 , Dreyfus , in the course of a conversation re ferring to the conveying of troops In the Vosgrs region and the movements necessary for the Invasion of Aloace , said he was well acquainted with a certain position to which the Germans attached great importance as a means of checking a French advance. This position , witness coutlnued , was westward nt Mulhauson and Dreyfus said ho reached this opinion after following the German maneu vers on horseback. The prisoner at this point quietly pointed out that the position mentioned by Captain le Monnler was situated In an entirely dlt- erent locality from where he ( the prisoner ) is supposed to have followed the maneuvers , Dreyfus added : "Captain lo Monuler must have confused It with a position which I described from knowledge acquired when traversing the whole district on horseback while a youth. " The prisoner reiterated that ho never at tended the maneuvers' In question. M. Villon , a tripe merchant , and another of the friends of M , de Beaurepaire , declared that when in Berlin during the year 1894 he overheard a conversation of some German officers who were lunching In an adjoining room. Ono of the officers , witness Bald , ex pressed Indignation that a French officer nhould be guilty of treason and his compan ion replied : * "It la a good thing for us. You know wo were getting the plan of mobilization from Dreyfus , " At the request of M. Demange , M. Villon detailed the alleged conversation and said he had not mentioned the conversation In lf-94 because Dreyfus had been arrested , and , knowing him to be guilty , witness foresaw ho would be convicted. Did Not Inufliiiliinle Dreyfu * . Special Commlnea'ry Fischer of tha East ern Military railway system deposed that ho waa ordered to Investigate a leakage in the gunnery school at Bourgca , and , he Added , the results of hli Inquiries did not eeem to incriminate Droyfus. Fischer asserted that he waa not long In finding out that a Tanner artilleryman named Thomas bad communicated to a for eign power doctimentn affecting the nntlonM defense. Thomas , ho added , was sentenced to dcnth for nttemptett murder In 1S88. but the Rpntenco wns commuted to penal servi tude for life. The wltneoa went to Avignon nnd necured the convict's confcwlon that ho conimunl- rated oketchra of ftiell 80 of the houro artillery and of the 120 siege gun , for which ho hnd rpctlved 1,000 frnncs. Replying to Colonel Jotuutrt , the wltnwv < declnrcd th t na Thomnn was arrested In ISSfi , ho could not have been n spy nt n Inter ( Into. for Lieutenant Mornhelm testified that while In xarrltion nl Rouen ho furnished Kutorhftty with Information and document * ! regarding the artillery , In which Katnrhnzy was much interested. The witness was never able lo lecover the documents. Ho supposed nt tha time that Knterhnzy wa * anxious to Increase liln military knowledge. Replying to M. Demange , Lleutonant Bern- brim raid ho hnd not testified nl the Enter- hnr.y trial because hla testimony won then considered to bo of no great value. Lieutenant Brugero , the artillery reserve , the next wltncta called , eald It wns perfectly easy for any officer to closely inspect U'o ' " 120 short" gun. Moreover , ho added , de tailed explanations and Information regnrd- Ing the brake were given to the officers present when the gun wns fired. On two occasions , wltnr&a snld , when the gun won fired , ho noticed the presence of a group of non-artillery officers. Therefore , the lieutenant pointed out , it was plain that access to the gun wns quite easy. In May , 1804 , Lieutenant Brugcrc continued , the new filing mnnunl wns distributed. A copy wns given to ench battery , and , na the captains' locturtn were not fully understood , further copies of the firing manual were printed , nnd all ofilcoro nnd non-commlesloncd offi cers BO dralrlng could obtnln s many as they liked. In eomo regiments even the ordinary gunners secured copies , nnd among these favored regiments Lieutenant Brugoro pointed out the Sixth artillery , stationed nt Rennes. ( Excitement. ) The witness said he gave his copy of the firing mnnunl to nn Infantry officer , May 17. 1894. The Soclete de Tlrn Cannon of Paris , also reprinted the manual nnd distributed it among Its members. IlriiRcrc StuiiilH Illn ( Jrouiiil. Captain Lebrond here interposed , saying thst no batteries of the ISO short gun were nt the Chalons cnmp In 1894 , nnd Lleutennnt Brugero retorted that ho only referred to what he saw In the month of May. A lively discussion ensued , Gcnernl Roget and Gen eral de Loyo denying Lleutennnt Brugero's statement. General Roget asked' Lieutenant Brugore If ho was not the offices who wrote M. Cavnlgnnc , then minister of war , a violent letter , tendering his nslgnatloii and declaring It was a dishonor to servo In the French army. ( Sensation. ) Lieutenant Brugere energetically pro tested against such a meaning being given to his letter , which was quite contrary to UK effect. General do Loye , to whom General Roget appealed. Bald bo had been consulted by the minister of war as to what ought to be done in connection with the letter and witness read the report which he made on the subject to the president of the republic , who , he added Immediately signed an order relegating Lieutenant Bru gore to the territorial army. After this Lieutenant Brugere again arcsc and em phatically maintained that he made no statement In the sense indicated by Genera ? Roget , but had only alluded to some per sonalities and had not mentioned the French army. It would have been absurd to dose so , he continued , since the French army consists of all citizens over 20 years of age. M. Labor ! said he thought It would be advisable to prcduce the letter In question and Colonel Jouaust promised to ask the minister of war .for the document. Captain. Carvalho of theartlilory also testified to the ease with which the 120 short gun could bo inspected. He said the gun was frequently operated in the presence of non-artillery officers who were told everything they desired to know , including a description of the hydro-pneumatic brake. Regarding the 1895 firing manual , wit ness said copies were obtainable In 1S94 In all the regiments in the armv and said ho had purchased a copy of the manual , which he placed nt the disposal of the court. f ForelKniM-N Have Klriiijr Miuiuul , At this juncture M. Laborl read a letter from a spy named Cornlngue , stating that ho had copied the Firing Manual in the room of Major Panlzzardi , the Italian mili tary attache , at Paris , in the presence of Colonel Bchwnrtzkoppen , the Gorman mili tary attache , at Paris , referred to as "A" and "B. " Ho said he was not certain whether this was the 1894 or 1895 manual and begged the president to question Colonel Plcquart on the subject. Plcquart snld be believed it was the 1895 manual and that the copy was made in 189ti , In Major Ponlzardi's room in the presence in Major Panlzzardl's room in the presence Colonel Plcquart added that Major Lauth ought to know soinethlnir about a certain mark on the manual. All the manuals at tha Versailles garrison were ordered returned to headquarters in order to ECO which ono was missing General de Loyo admitted he was not sure whether It was the 1894 or 1895 manual and | corroborated Colonel Plcquart's statements. Major Lauth expressed surprise at the fact that Colonel Plcquart's recollections were so vague and added that Plcquart had relations with the spy "Cornlngue , " who , ho said , was a doubtful character. M. Laborl asked to what soy Major LautlP was able to give a good character , to which the major replied : "Why , none. " ( Laughter ) . M. Lnborl said Major Lnutli Insinuated that "Cornlnguo" was trying to levy black- mall. Was that hla Idea ? Colonel Jouaust refused to allow the ques tion and M. Laborl exclaimed : "You dis allow every awkward question. " ( Sensa tion ) . The stir caused by this lively retort had not yet subsided when the government com missary , Major Carrlere , rose and begged to point out that the defense wns constantly asking leave to speak , and that when he ( the commissary ) naked to do EO hd wns refused the necessary permission , to which Colonel Jounust replied : "I have heard enough. Hold your tongues. Be quiet. The Incident Is closed. " ( Prolonged laughter ) . Addrcaslns Colonel Plcquart , M. Laborl asked : "When did you know that the firing manual was being copied ? " Colonel Plcqunrt During the summer of UDJ. Will Not nil Artlllrrr Olllcer. M. Laborl having remarked that this wns nil ho desired to oek at present , General Hlppolyto Sebert , retired , of the mnrlne artillery , deposed. He preceded his testi mony by saying ho did not think he ought to withhold the evidence he was able to give , as bo felt It would contribute to the repatriation of a judicial error. The general thn criticised the bordereau from a profes sional standpoint , pointing out that th writer must have been a low-classed man , negotiating directly with a correspondent on whose doles he was dependent. lie eald he was probably an officer , but certainly not an artillery officer , adding that this was proved by the employment of expressions an artilleryman could not have used. The witneu gave a number of instances ihowlng the dense Ignorance displayed In gunnery technlcaJltiea by the writer of the bordereau and , amid profound ellence , General Sebert announced that hto etudy of the cace bad led him to the conviction that the bordereau could not bavo been written by an artillery officer , nor by any officer bulonglng to the gpeclal arm of the tervlce who had puied through the Polytechnic school , General Sebert referred to the satisfaction ha felt at knowing that the experts of tb highest it and Ing in handwriting had con- Derby Day at the Exposition J 11.-00 ix. in.

Berttllon'e assertions , saying that on exam ination he , the witness , had easily found proof of the worthlessneES of that demon stration. ( Sensation. ) "It is painful for me , " added General Sebert , "to express such an opinion on the man whose name is connected with tbo appli cation of the unthropometrlc method , which has done the greatest service , but French science cannot glvo its authority to lucubra tions BO pretentious as these M.

( Excitement. ) This edifice is a work of apppeasemcnt ami peace , which will restore the country to an ear of concord and union. " ( Prolonged excitement. ) A brief suspension of the session followed. When the session was resumed , at the re quest of M. Laborl , General Sebert expressed his opinion of Valeria's evidence In euppport of M. Dcrtillon's system , saying that In spite of the lutter's talent , he had not suc ceeded in converting a falae theory Into a true one. M. Bortlllon at this point exclaimed : "I beg leave to speak. " Colonel Jouaust asked the prisoner If he had anything to eay In reply to the witness and the pilsoier replied that he had not. , Then Colonel Jouaust , without taking the slightest notice of M. Bertlllon , called the next witness , Major Ducros of the artillery , who showed that Dreyfua had abundant op portunities In 1S94 to obtain information relative to guns , but did not take advantage of them. General Mercler tried to belittle this testimony by saying Dreyfus was proba bly aware that knowledge of the Ducros gun was no longer of Importance , slnco the gun had been rejected In favor of the Deport gun. Major Hartmann of the artillery was tha next witness for tbo defense. Ho asked per mission to refer to certain of the documents which were produced during the secret ses sion of the court yesterday , upon which ha -ald he had reached important conclusions. But C < neral Deloyo objected , as It was con trary to the instructions of the minister of war , The rrajor then asked tbo court to elt briefly en camera and Colonel Jouause prom- loed to render a decision latei. Proceeding , Major Hartmann testified on highly technical subjects , bis evidence being the same as given before tbo court of cassation and as already - ready published early in the year , He epoko In loud , energetic tones and occupied the whole of the remainder of the session. The major will continue his testimony tomorrow. The court at 11 ; 40 a. m. adjourned until tomorrow.
