It is believed the suicides were com
mitted because of the recent losses by
Dreyfus on the bourse.
Mrs. Dreyfus last week made extensive
purchases OF furs and clothing for the
children and was getting ready to visit
her sister in London.
Inls seems to show that she had no
mixing of her husbands intentions at
that time and leads friends of the fam
lily to believe that it was only under his
overmastering influence that she agreed
to share his fate. 1t is not believed the
capt. Dreyfus affair was an important
factor in the suicides.
Dreyfus left long letter to the Temps
and other letters to various people. In
the letter addressed to the Temps he
argues that suicide is justiiiable, urges
that those dissatisfie with life would
do well to follow his example, and says:
1T is better for the children to Gle
| with their parents, as their mother has
| also elected to commit suicide"
He referred, without mentioning
names, to man responsible for my

son of the suicide evasively.
M. Dakoff asserts the deceased was
in comfortable circumstances and hat
property and an annual income of about
$2500. NJ. Dikoff's theory is that tine

TROUBLE OVER COTTON RATES.
Southwestern Lines Dispute Over
Export Rates via Galveston.


Galveston, Tex, Nov. S.-The south
western lines are in trouble over the ex
port cotton rates via this port. Hereto
fore these rates have been uniformly
made upon the basis Of the lowest quoted
rate secured by the representatives Of
the Southwestern Freight bureau and
promulgated by the body. Hereafter,
until some different agreement can he
reached, the rates will be based upon the
quotation furnished by the Southern Pa
cific company wherever such rates are
lower than the bureau quotations.
The Southern Pacific now complains
that the ship agents at Galveston gave
the bureaus representative one rate and
quoted the interior shipper different and
lower rate. They do not, therefore, pur-
pose to be further bound by the quota
tions furnished by the bureau. They will
obtain the rates themselves and advise
other lines what they are. If their
rates are lower than those quoted by the
bureau the Southern Pacific's combina-
tions will be the rates that will have to
be protected by all lines

AN ORDER FROM GOMEZ.
Gen. snnguilly Ordered to Repor,
for Duty immediately

Phladellphiaa, Nov. S.-Thc Press will
print under New York date tomorrow
9. story to the effect that Gen. Julio
Sangnilly, the Cuban patriot. has re-
ceived an order from Gen. Gomez to
report for duty in the insurgent ranks.
The order places him in an embarrassing
position. Sanguilly had become an
American citizen, and when arrested in
Havana two years ago was only releas-
ed from Moro castle upon rledging his
word not to again take up arms against
Spain. Sanguilly gave this pledge after
much hesitation. Not long afterwards
Gen. Gomez ordered him to report for
duty, but Secretary Sherman, 1t is said,
Informed Sanguilly that if ne did 60 he
would forfeit his American citizenship.
This last note from Gomez says that
if Sanguilly does not return to his COM
mand by December he will be reduced
to the ranks and dismissed without
honor.
Sanguilly held a commission rs major
general in the insurgent ranks.

made the following statement today con-

81 found the general situation with re-

and by no means unsatisfactory, which
understand has been the impression in
America for the past month or two. In
England and on the continent just the
contrary was the case. As to the prices
of manufactured goods, of course buyers
decline to buy long stocks as long as the
south persists in offering cotton down.
When enough of the cotton is marketed
to relieve the producer and he feels able
to hold some cotton, buyers of manufac-
tured goods and traders in cotton proba-
bly, will be anxious to invest in both"
