THE DREYFUS CASE
Though a majority of Englishmen believe
that only the overshadowing interest Of the
Dreyfus case saved the government of France
from being forced by popular clamor to main
tain Major Marchand at any cost, the court
of cessation, which has the revision of the
case in hand, is preserving the most dense
secrecy. But the interrogations of NJ. Cav
aignac and Generals Mercier and Bllot, con-
suming the entire week, indicate that the
court is doing much more than making
superficial review OF the evidence.
In the meantime the many-sided contro
versy RACES in the Paris papers as hotly as
ever, and the French minister of foreign af-
fairs, M. del Casse, has felt that the proprie-
ties compelled him to convey to the Ger
man ambassador, Count Won Munster-Led-
enburg, the governments regrets at the fact
that one sheet dragged his daughters name
into the discussion. One of the multitude
OF reports ahoat credits the court with the
determination to request the appearance be-
fore it of Colonel Schwarzkopen and Colonel
Panizzardi respectively the German and
Italian military attaches, who have been ac-
cused of dealings with Dreyfus, and another
report has it that the prisoner, beyond any
doubt has been brought back to Paris to con-
front the officers who claim to have received
his confession.
On the other hand, for reasons which are
incomprehensible to foreigners, a large fac
ton of the public has been led to shift their
suspicious to the real culprit from the
shoulders of Count Esterhazy to the late
Lieutenant-Colone Henry who is supposed
to have committed suicide.
THE .KAISER'S TOUR
The newspaper men who have been ac-
companying Emperor William on his tour
of the Holy Land, say that between that
monarch's remarkable activity and the at
tentions of the Turkish officials, who regard
ed the scribes as suspicious characters, they
have been suffering a vertabe martvrdom.
One of theme writes that he has been ac-
customed to follow hounds afoot and has
shared the fortunes of the American army
in Cuba, but he adds, these were mere pas
times in comparison to following Emperor
William. The latter, it appears, covered
the sand road from Hafa to Jaffa in two
days, dash seldom attempted in less than
three days. Dead horses strewed the trail
and exhausted cavalrymen and camels
struggled into Jaffa throught the night.
Some of the correspondents who were in
vited to witness the emperor's entrance into
Hafa from the yard of the American con-
sulate were driven off by the Turks, in
spite OF the protests of the consul and the
correspondent of an italian paper. who
wrote that the sultan was bankrupting his
country to entertain the emperor while he
never paid his soldiers, was cast into prison
without any charge being made against him,
and was beaten and starved. He succeeded,
however, in escaping by bribing some of the
Turks, and now the Italian government has
demanded heavy indemnity for the cor
respondents arrest and i'll treatment.
THE SOCIAL SEASON
All the interest in the social gayeties
of the week centered in two big parties, the
Duke of Portand's at Welbeck Abbey, and
the Duke of Newcastle's at his mansion in
