HENRY ENDS HIS LIFE.
coufesses Forgery of the Letter Which

confesses Forgery of the Letter Which
Accused Dreyfus of Treason.
Lieut.. Col. Henry of the French army
who was one of the principal accusers OF
Captain Dreyfus, killed himself IN Parls
twenty-four hours after his arrest Tor TOT
gerry and perjury. He cut his throat with
a razor which he had concealed in his va
lise when aaken to prison.
He had confessed that he forged one OF
the letters upon which Dreyfus was con.
victed. The letter purported to reveal
secrets Of the French Government, and
Dreyfus was accused Of being in the pay
of Germany. Henry admitted to the
minister of war that his testimony in the
Zola-Dreyfus trials was false. His CON
fession was so complete that it virtually
upsets the entire case against Dreyfus,
and the Government has virtually promls'
ed a new trial Henrys only attempt to
Justify his conduct was the statement
that he thought the honor of the French
army required the conviction of Dreyfus.
Col. Henry was to be tried by court-mar-
tial.
Col. Henry was attached to the War
Department when he helped by his for
gerry and perjury to convict Dreyfus, and
he was one of the prominent Witnesses
who testified unfayorably to M. lola dur
ing the latter's sensational trial on the
charge of libeling military officials. The
victory for lola is an unqualified one. The
French public is already convinced that
Dreyfus will soon be free.
The Government, although refusing to
reopen the Dreyfus case, has kept up
persistent inquiry in secret, and finally
obtained evidence connecting Henry with
the forged letter. When the proof was
sufficient he was brought face to face
with the minister of war, and soon made
a clean breast Of his guilty connection
with the Dreyfus case. The Government
is trying to secure more complete evil
dence against other army officers who are
suspected Of completely with Henry,
Major Esterhazy will be retired from the
army on account Of his connection with
the scandal.
During the recent lola trial Henry &C.
cused Col. Picquart of falsifying tele,
grams. A duel followed, in which Henry
was wounded. The next scene occurred
in the Chamber Of Deputies, where Col.
Picquart proclaimed the letter which con.
victed Dreyfus forgery, and as result
was arrested, while Henry's villainy was
rewarded by his being appointed Col. Pic.
quarts successor in the intelligence de.
partment.
It is now evident that Henry forged the
letter with the express object of paralyz-
ing Col. Picquart's efforts to expose Maj
Esterhazy and to get revision of the
Dreyfus case. The letter was written in
bad French, fact which first led to its
being regarded as spurious.

Legal Comp1ica tions.
The camp at Montauk Point, L. L.,
where the tired and WORKOUT soldiers Of
the American Cuban army are camped,
may bring about some legal complications
between the Montauk tribe Of Indians and
the United States Government. The at
torneys for the Indians have served notice
on Attorney General Griggs that the tribe
claims ownership of the land and protests
against dealings for the possession of the
point by the Government. Montauk Point
is the eastern terminus of the Long ISL
and Railroad, and is within two and one
half hours by train from Long Island
City. The point proper is about ten miles
long by one and one-half miles wide, and
rises right out Of the sea to a height Of
fifty to a hundred feet. 1t has rolling
surface, duny soil, and many brackish
ponds and marshes. Montauk Point is
historic, and it is said that Spanish pirates
once buried treasures there. The camp
is commanded by Maj. Gen. S. Il. NJ.

BY order of Emperor Nicholas, Count
Muravieff. the Cars foreign minister,
has handed to the foreign diplomats at st.
Petersburg a note declaring the mainte-
nance Of peace and the reduction Of the
excessive ornaments now crushing all the
nations is the ideal for which all Gov
ernments ought to strive. The Car con-
sidcrs the present moment favorable for
the Inauguration Of a movement looking
TO this end, and invites the powers to take
part in an international conference as
means of thus insuring real and lasting
peace and terminating the progressive in
crease of armament.
The Cars proposition is likely to pro-
luce a sensation throughout Europe, and,
coming from such quarter and with such
evident sincerity of purpose, it is likely to
have important effects. No doubt is felt
that, with Russia taking the lead in such
a step, Germany, France and the other
nations will be ready to follow.
The news that Gar Nicholas has star
tied the world with a letter advocating
an international peace movement, with
the ultimate object of cutting down stand
ing armies and putting all civilized ma
tons on peace footing, has drawn atten-
ton to the facts and figures surrounding
the vast armies maintained by the Euro
pcan powers and the enormous saving re-
sulting from universal treaty Of peace.
ali the great powers of Europe have been
adding to their standing armies year by
year and the building up of naves has
never ceased. Russia itself has been
foremost in maintaining a large army.

TO REDUCE ARMY.
Corbin Orders the Muster Out of Nine
teen Volunteer Organizations.


Adjutant General Corbin Friday issued
orders for the muster out Of nineteen vol
unteer organizations, numbering more
than 10000 officers and men. Including
former orders more than $4,000 of the vol
unteers have been ordered mustered out,
and it is said at the War Department that
the work will now go forward more rap
Idly and within a week or two fully 1OO,~
900 volunteers will be mustered out. BY
December there VIII not remain more
than $4,000 volunteers in the United
States service. When Congress meets it
will be confronted with the necessity for
increasing the regular army to not less
than 100000 men, because OF the neces-
sity for troops in Cuba, Porto Rico, Ha-
wall, and the Philippines. The attitude
of many State executives and great
many people in nnding the release Of
the volunteers and the peculiar provisions
of the law authorizing the President to
call for volunteers, does not warrant the
administration in depending uron these
