Germany Has Designs on Greece.
London, June 1.-THE correspondent
Of the Daily Mail at Athens, says: tx
traOrdinary rumors are current as to
the attitude Of Germany. 1t is alleged
that the German government seeks to
overthrow the Greek dynasty and to
establish rigorous control of Greek
finances. In order to attain this
double object Germany wants con-
tinuance of the war. and to have the
terms of peace finally dictated in Attn
ems itself. These statements seem
scarcely worthy of credence. but it is
probable that Germany will continue
to press for financial control.

Washington, June 6. Capt A. ID.
Smith. of the Cuban army. spent con-
siderable time with the senate COM
mittee on foreign relations. In
brief interview with representative
of the Associated Press he said: "The
Cuban army is now in better condition
to resist the Spaniards and to main
tain the fight for independence than it
has been since the beginning of the
war. Gen. Gomez has we'll disci-
plined army Of about 10000 men who
are determined to hold out until their
efforts shall be crowned with victory.
Our soldiers are rapidly procuring
arms, and every day serves to put
them on better footing in this re-
spect. Our troops enjoy vast adj
vantage over the Spaniards in that
they are not injuriously affected by
the climate. Furthermore, We have
no difficulty in feeding out troops. In
the portion of the country where the
Cuban troops are in control the pro-
visions are protected and we draw
our supplies from this source. Our
commissary is, therefore, regularly re-
newed and our supplies are received in
quantities quite sufficient to meet all
our wants."
In reply to question. Capt. Smith
said: "All talk about autonomy and
of Spanish reforms for Cuba is so
much breath wasted. There is not n
man in the Cuban army who will agree
to accept anything short of absolute
independence"

woman Was an American, Her
Husband q Relative of Captain
Dreyfus, the Maroon.

| Paris, November ga man named Drey-
fus, son of the Confess d'Hourty. and
believed to be a cousin Of Captain Dreyfus,
the deportcd artillery officer imprisoned
on an island of the coast Of French
Guiana: his wife, formerly Miss Rebecca
FORBADE Abraham, an American, and their
three daughters. aged respectively 10. IL
and z years Of age, committed suicide this
morning or last night at their residence
on the Avenue Marcesa. The porter OF the
house found their bodies In their apart
ments early today. They were lying on the
floor In the bedroom Of the youngest child.
Dreyfus left letter for the commissary
OF police OF that district, inclosing 400
francs with which to defray the expenses
Of the funeral OF the family. The deceased
husband and father was SO terribly upset
by the sentence imposed upon Captain
Dreyfue, that he changed his name to that
OF his wife. 1t Is believed The suicides were
committed because OF the recent losses by
Dreyfus on the bourse.
Nine. Dreyfus last week made extensive
purchases OF furs and clothing for the chill
dren and was getting ready to visit her
sister In London.
This goes to show that she had no ink
ling OF her husbands intentions at that
time and leads friends OF the family to
believe that 1t was only under his over
mastering influence that she agreed to
share his fate. 1t is not believed that Cap
tain Dreyfus' affair was an important fac
tor In the suicides.
Dreyrus left long letter to the Temps
and other letters to various people, In the
letter addressed to the Temps he argues
that suicide is justifiable; urges that those
dissatisfied with life would do well to fol-
low his example.
The method OF suicide was by charcoal
fumes.
