WHOLESALE SUICIDE.
Parents and Three Children Take Their
LAves Because Of Cousins Disgrace

Parents and Three Children Take Their
Ldves Because OF Cousins Disgrace
Paris, Nov. S.-A man named Dreyfus
who is believed to be cous n of Cant.
Dleyfus, the deported artillery officer
imprisoned on an island off the coast
.of French Guina, his wife, formerly the
Countess Ohecuer1y, and their three
daughters, respectively ID, II and Z
years of age, committed suicide this
morning or last night at their residence
on the avenue Marceu. The porter of the
house found their bodies in their apart
ments early to-day. They were lying
on the floor in the bedroom of the
youngest child. Dreyfus left letter
for the COmmissiary of Police Of that
district, enclosing four hundred francs
with which to defray the expenses of
the funeral of the family. The deceased
husband and father was so terribly up
set by the sentence imposed upon Capt.
Dreyfus that he changed his name to
that of his wife.
Dreyfus left long letter to the Temps
in which he argues that suicide is justi-
fable.
NJ. Dikof asserts that the deceased
man was in comfortable circumstances
and had property, with an annual in
come of about $500. D,kof's theory
is that the tragedy resulted from en-
cess of melancholy or madness. He says
he had heard Dreyfus allude approving
y to some recent suicides in Paris.
The apartments occupied by the de-
ceased family are richly furnished. In
the dining room the police found the
remnants of an ample repast 1t APP
pears that the two elder children,
Gladys and Stella, went to school daily
and were registered on the school rolls
as Jews of American origin" Last
Saturday the girls babe the superiors of
the school good bye, saying that they
were going to London with their par
ents.
Madame Dreyfus last week made ex-
'ensive purchases of furs and clothing
for the children, and was getting ready
TO visit her sister in London. This
seems to show that she had had no
linking of her husbands intentions at
the tine, and leads friends of the
family to believe that ii was only under
his over-mastering influence that she
agreed to share his fate. 1t is not be-
lieved that the Captain Dreyfus affair
was an important factor in the suicide.
The methods of suicide was asphyxia-
ton by charcoal fumes.

Washington, Nov 29.-The Haytien
minister states that his country is pre-
pairing for an cventuality, considering
that It's honor is involved in the pres
eat trouble, and that it cannot yield to
demonstrations of force by a powerful
naticn. The minister says that Hayti's
ports are un1ortified, and that the
country has TO navy, but has an army
OF fair proportions. Naturally it could
rot expect to contend against one of
tie most powerful nations on the
globe. but with the honor Of the re-
public at stake, he declares it would
resist to the last, and would be crushed
rather than yield to what it regards as
an injustice.
The Haytien authorities consider that
the Monroe doctrine applies to the pres
ent case, and for that reason expect the
people Of the United States Will not ap-
prove the crushing Of Hayti by pow
erful European government, or that
the authorities here Will not remain in
active if the Monroe doctrine is in
