revenge on one of them; for she took
advantage of the power conferred upon
her as regent after the departure of

! There are many well-knoWn Europeon
statesmen now living who attribute to
the intrigues Of these two ladies the Sc
cret cause Of the ineXplicable Franco
German war, which led to the over
throw Of the Napoleonic Empire and
the consequent withdrawal Of the
French army of occupation from Rome.

no sooner vanished from the Eternal
City than Victor Emmanuel, with his
besieging army made his appearance

A Fair Russian Intriguante.
Another petticoated diplomatist is the
Russian princess who acts as lady in
waiting to the mother of the Khedive
Of Egypt. Her record is such as to
render it preferable for her government
to utilize her services, not in Europe, but
on the banks Of the Nile, where so
many damaged regulations have found
a home. Through her the imperial
chancellerie at st. Petersburg obtains
an early report Of every fresh state Sc
cret which the English government
finds it necessary to communicate to
the Khedive.
1t would be scarcely fair to include
in this list such eminently respectable
and respected ladies as Princess Lise
Troubetskoi and Nine. de Novikoff
Yet they too, form part of that high
ly-paid corps of female diplomatic
agents who are remunerated out OF the
secret service fund at the disposal OF
every continental government. 1t is a
corps which owing to the persuasive
powers intuition and the talent for
intrigue of it's members, is of infinite
Iy greater value to the governments
employing them than the regular staff
Of ambassadors, ENJOYS and attaches.

secrets concerning the manufacture
of the smokeless powder in use by the
French army, the mechanism Of the
new rifle and Of the improved ordnance;
but also of having betrayed the entire
project Of mobilization Of the French
army in the event Of a declaration Of
war. This document is Of q most vol
luminous character and arranges for the
assignment Of the various regiments,
brigades and divisions to their respec-
tive posts, for the provisioning of the
troops, for the means Of conveyance of
the latter, even going so far as to state
the hours at which the various railroad
trains conveying the forces and the
war material are to start and to arrive
at their destination.
Nor was this all. For he is alleged
to have disclosed to the Italian war
officer the names Of the French officers
and agents who have hitherto been Sc
cretly employed in procuring Informs
ton Of confidential and military
character in Germany, Austria and In
the dominions Of King Humbert, the
result being that almost every one OF

onment imposed by the governments
Of the countries in which they were en-
gagged in spying at the time Of their
arrest 5@
If all this is true there seems no ex-
cuse for Captain Dreyfus, unless the
rumors be true, according to which he
was an unfortunate but inveterats
gambler, for his father is one Of the
wealthiest cotton spinners Of Alsace.
while his wife is the daughter of tha
richest jeweler Of the Rue de la Paix,
Paris. The feeling against him is one
of intense bitterness, especially in the
army, and there is unanimous de-
mand in military as well as in civilian;
circles for the infection Of the death,
penalty upon him. Nor is the govern
ment likely to offer any very strong
opposition to this sentiment, for the
trouble and expense to which it has
been put by the black treachery Of
Captain Dreyfus is altogether incon-
ceivable, the plans and projects Of
years having now to be changed and,
modified in their entirety.
The Woman In the Case.
AS usual, there is woman in the
case. There always is In such instances
as these-a lady who plays the role Of
Delilah to that Of Samson filled by the
weak and treacherous officer. In Cap
tain Dreyfus's case it seems to have
been a beautiful and captivating ItaEt
ian Marquise, now beyond the reach OF
the French police. She got the captain
completely infatuated by her charms,
and after having wheedled secret Of
minor Importance out Of him terrorized:
him to such an extent by her threats
Of exposing bis indiscretion to his SUI
periors that she was able to obtain
from him all the subsequent informa-
ton that she required. E{if

the same role as that of the infamous

Wrecked an Ambassadors.
+ Another baroness Of the same kind,
who has achieved similar, though not
altogether as great notoriety, is the So
called Baroness de Kurth, who almost
succeeded in wrecking the career of the
Marquis de Reversaux, now French
ambassador at Madrid, but formerly
minister at Cairo. She spent two win
tiers in the Egyptian capital, and her
association with the marquis was the
talk Of that scandal-loying place. She
enjoyed the reputation Of influencing

half Of the German government. and is
