operations in Cuban waters. This
may seem remarkable statement, but
it is positive fact that dispatch boats
were TO be hurried TO meet Cervera
and order him to the Philippines.
Plans for coal and supplies had been
carefully laid to meet this emergency.
But Cervera, taking matters into his
own hands, instead of following the
course prescribed leading to Havana,
deliberately locked himself up in San.
tiago.
The dispatch boats hunted in vain
for the fleet and the naval board found
itself helpless. Thus it was that Ca
mara's nondescript feet was hurriedly
prepared TO do what had been planned
for Cervera's more effective squadron.
The Spanish had planned 10 keep Ca
mara's fleet at home for defense. The
Watson bluff ruined this last effort to
reach Manila. Adm. Cervera will be
called before a Spanish court of naval
inquiry and asked to ex-
plain why he disobeyed orders.
French naval authorities say that Ger
vera will undou btedly be found guilty
and will be degraded. The whole
story gives a curious insight into the
seeming lack of executive force at
Madrid, and shows that the authorities
at the last moment recognized the
hopelessness of accomplishing any
thing in American waters 1t throws
the first light on the Spanish naval sit
ua;ion at most critical moment of
the campai0n.

NEW YORK, Sept 3.-A dispatch L
the Tribune says: Col lIenry's con
fess!on of having forged the famou,
document upon the authenticity o.
which Gen. dc Boisdef fire, chief OF staff
of the French army, in his mpassioned
appeal to the jury in the Zola tria
staked his own reputation and the
honor of the army and Col Henry S
suicide in the fort of Montcvalence,
have caused an emotion throughout
France which has not been witnessed
since the fall Of Sedan.
Col Henry, a peasants son, pro-
NOTED from the ranks and imbued
with all the instincts low cunning and
narrow personal animosity often char
acteristic of French peasants, had no
conception of the enormity OF his
crime until overwhelmed by It's detec.
tion. This brave but infatuated chief
of the intelligence department OF the
French army embodied the whole head
and front OF Dreyius' conviction, OF
Zola's condemnation, of ESterhazy's ac-
quittal and of Picquarts degradation
and Imprisonment
The government is doing its best to
stem the rising tide Of agitation by a
studied quiescence which scandalizes
the Journal Des Debates and other
papers; but it may succeed in getting
over the crisis. NJ. Faure ignores the
reproaches Of the press and remains at
IIavrc.
In the meantime NJ Cavaignac, min
lister of war, and NJ. Sarrien, minister
of justice, are busy enough. NJ Sar-
rien had two prolonged conferences
with NJ. Brisson Friday afternoon,
and after NJ. Cavaignac's long inter
view with NJ. Sarrien, both ministers
looked ruflled. These and other inn
promptu ministerial conferences were
levoted to an endeavOr TO convince the
OF war of the necessity on
grounds OF n revision OF the
Dreyfus case, which the whole coun-
ry, including the army, now demands.
High officers confess that the dis
,ussions that will follow revision will
probably entail war, but they say that
would be preferable to having the
.rmy remain under a cloud. with the
'ossibilities OF agitation leading to
ivil strife.
