New YORK, July 29.-Samuel Gompsrs

a Captain in the French Army Ar
rested for Treason.
PARIS, Nov. Captain Alfred Drey-
fus of the general staff, who was attached
10 the organization and mobiliZing de-
partment in France, has been arrested on
the charge of treason and espionage in
behalf of the Triple Alliance. The ar
rest is the sensation of the hour. The
Captain was attached to the organizing
and mobiliZing department Of the general
staff, and had access to some of the more
important documents relating to the
plans for mobilizing the French army.
Suspicion against Captain Dreyfus was
aroused by his intimacy with an Italian
officer, and General Mercer, Minister of
War, caused detectives to be sent to Mon
AGO and italy, with the result that Captain
Dreyfus is now under strict guard in the
military prison. Dreyfus is said to have
supplied the Italian Government with
the plans so carefully laid out during
the years past for the defense of the
Alps, which have been looked upon as
forming complete bulwark against the
possible invasion of France from Italy,
and is also said to have sold all these
plans to Germany, and to have divulged
to Austria and Germany the names of the
French officers recently sent abroad on
secret missions. Captain Dreyfus was
married to the daughter of a rich dia-
mond merchant of this city.
Captain Dreyfus is said to have sup
piled the Italian officer alluded to, who
is believed TO have been an agent of the
Italian Government, with the plans for
the mobilization of the Fifteenth Army
Corps, covering the Department Mari
time Alps, Ardech, Pouchese du Rhine,
Corsica, Gard, Var, Vaucluse and Mar
seilles, as well as plans for mobilizing
the French forces around Briancon, the
Alpine Gibraltar. He is also suspected
of having furnished the Italian agent
with plan for the numerous fortified
positions around Briancon, which are
connected by underground galleries with
the town mentioned. Briancon is place
of the utmost importance, and especially
in view of the possible advance of an
Italian army into France. Briancon COM
mands the route across Mount Genevre,
between France and Italy. and in addi-
ton to being most strongly defended, on
account of its natural position lit is stu-
ated on hill, about 4,300 feet above the
level OF the sea-. its surrounding emil
nences are crowned with strong modern
fortifications, mounted with the latest
artillery, and, as already stated, these
fortitications communicate with each
other and with the town by subterranean
passages. a bridge having a span of
about l30 feet and about $50 feet, crosses
the Clarre Valley, affording access from
the principal points of Notifications to

INDIAN TERRITORY TROUBLE.
NO New Developments in the Cook
outlaw Situation.

No New Developments in the Cook
Outlaw Situation.
MUskoGEE Il. IT,, Oct. 3I.-There are
no new developments in the Cook outlaw
situation. The Indian police have re-
turned after a week out without making
any progress toward locating the gang.
All sorts Of reports are brought in as to
their whereabouts, but there is no conf
dence to be put in them. They are to-day
reported to be in Blue Creek, about twelve
miles from here, but the origin of the re-
port cannot be learned, and it is only
partially credited, though force of Of
ncerS have gone out there to see about it.
1t is noticeable fact that not one-fourth
OF the reports of their whereabouts that
have come in here are correct. The gang
mas about quit depredations, and have
scattered In all directions. There is but
little reasonable hope of effecting their
capture soon.
WHY TROOPS CANNOT BE SENT.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3I.-The inability
oil the Government to use troops to sup
press the outlawry of the Cook gang in
the Indian Territory was explained to-
day by Secretary Hoke Smith who made
application to the Secretary of War few
days ago for troops to be used in that
work. The Secretary said: ''The Secre-
tary of War referred the application to
the Attorney-General. who held that no
authority existed to use troops for the
purpose of arresting the Cook gang. un-
less 1t appeared that the members of the
gang were lntruders. This opinion was
sent to the Interior Department by the
Secretary of War with a request for fur
ther suggestions. 1t was then referred to
the Indian Commissioner, who reported
that the Cook outlaws were not intrud-
ers, but all were mem bers of local tribes
OF laaians. In view Of this statement
the Interior Department will make no
other request for troops in the present or
similar instances, as after examining the
statutes we agree with the view expressed
IN the opinion of the Attorney General.
1t really leaves the department. in a con-
ditlon where it can do nothing to pre-
vent acts of lawlessness like the Cook
troubles"

There is no doubt that many more pas
sengers would have been drowned had it
not been for the gallantry of two seamen,
who swan ashore with line, by means
of (which g stout rope, which was used
later in the work of rescue, was hauled

BIRMINGHAM (Ala.), Nov. 1.-Passen-
ger train No. of the Kansas City, Mem
phis and Birmingham Railroad was held
up at o'clock this morning few miles
out of New Albany, Miss, by three
masked men and the express car looted OF
its contents.
Conductor w. B. Leonard got into Bir-
mingham at o'clock this morning. He
said: my train pulled out of New AL
bany about l o'clock this morning.
Shortly after getting under full headway
the train began to slack up, and was soon
at standstill, AS l afterward discovered,
three masked men had boarded the ten
der of the engine at New Albany, and
covering Engineer Campbell and Fireman
Alexander with pistols, compelled them
to stop at designated point in the woods
few miles east of New Albany. When
the train stopped / was in the baggage
car. l went to the side door and opened
it, only to be greeted with several pistol
shots from one of the robbers. l showed
the door shut, but turning around l saw
two robbers already in the baggage car
with pistols covering me. The engineer
and fireman were made to dismount and
an unsuccessful effort was made to un-
couple the engine. Express Messenger
Jeannette's car was forced open, the rob-
bers covering me with pistols all the time,
and we were forced to give up the con-
tents of the safe. Putting their booty in
a bag the robbers backed OFT into the
woods with their pistols pointed at US,
and disappeared in the darkness. We did
not see their faces at any time"
The officers of the Southern Express
Company give III out that only little
cheap jewelry and vouchers constituted
the robbers booty. 1t is suspected, how
ever, that the express company is with
holding the facts on this subject. The
general belief is that the robbers were
amateurs. although they performed their
work coolly.

The Strauss Brothers Supporting
Wheeler for Governor.
NEW YORK, Nov. l. - Considerable
talk was caused to-day by the announce
ment that Isadore Strauss, brother of Ma
than Strauss, the original candidate of
Tammany for Mayor. had sent a check to
the Wheeler campaign committee, and
that the other brother. Oscar Strauss, ex-
Minister to Turkey, had sent letter to
the committee indorsing Mr.. Wheeler
as the Democratic candidate for
Governor. Naturally this announce
ment did not tend to appease the
Tammany chieftains, as they seem TO
lead to the casting of many Hebrew votes
against Hill aud the local Tammany
ticket.
Senator Hill made one of his flying
visits to Democratic headquarters to-
day. Chairman Thacher reported that
Mr.. Hill was cheerful, healthful and con-
fident. There were no other visitors of
ters to-day and news from all of them
was of slight importance.

Union waited on Colonel Strong this
afternoon and notified him of the indorse-
ment by that body of his nomination for
May OF duu 10 urge dl the Saulo Time the
intention of the Civic Union to operate

arranged for by both Democrats and
