CHARGES AGAINST MENOCAL.
Civil Engineer Has Something to Face on His
Return from Nicaragua.


New York Jan 27.Two specific charges
upon which Civil Engineer Monocal
is to be tried by court martial next
month have already been drawn by the
judge advocate general of the navy
the substantiation of either involving
dismissal from the service. The first
is that of culpable negligence, says
the Washington correspondent of the
tribune, in the performance of duty
under which fall at least ten specfica-
lions, every one fortified by the most
damaging evidence. The second charge
SO far formulated is that of neglect of
duty and under this at least dozen
instances are specified. They relate
to the demonstrable gross frauds prac-
ticed directly under the supervision of
Mr.. Monocal, not when he was tenn
porarily absent from the scene of oper-
atoms, or when a subordinate was fill
ing the inspectors place, not when Mr.
Monocal was in Florida, or during any
or his frequent visits to New York city,
but when, 1t is asserted, he was In
direct charge of dock construction and
actually witnessing the progress of the
contractor.
The efforts of the naval legal au-
thorities have ended in drawing
cations and collating the test mony

mer, who has been in Brooklyn work.

dence dug out by Constructor Bowles,
mas fully another month to complete
his presentation for the prosecution and
IL is strongly intimated that before
that period expires he will charge col
fusion between the government inspec-
tors and the contractors. So far, while
no charge of collision has been formal
ly presented to Secretary Long, several
ugly facts have been brought to light
which would merit severer measures
than those yet threatened
Secretary Long says he expects Mon
ocal to hurry from Nicaragua without
any delay and arrive in New York by
the middle of February. As the ac-
cused man will undoubtedly wish to
examine the charges and on account of
their gravity go over them with his at
torneys before the trial begins. the
first sitting of the court martial may
be postponed until March 1.
Regarding the efforts now in progress
to repair the damages and render the
dock serviceable to the government.
Secretary Long is most hopeful that
the huge structure will be ready for
the battleships when they return north

BIDS FOR CARRYING REINDEER.
Three Range from s47.8O to saoO Per Car

New York. Jan. 27.-Bids for the
transportation of 500 reindeer and their
attendants from New York to Portland
or Seattle have been opened in the
office of Deputy Quartermaster Gen. A.
S. Kimball. About twenty-five rail-
road were represented at the bidding
the lowest bid being that of the Can
a6.an Pacific, which offers to transport
the reindeer and attendants with for
age and food supplies for the party at
the rate of $3.50 per car. Other bids
ranged as high as $500 per car.
The reindeer will be used in the gov
eminent relief expedition to the Klon-
dixie, for which 5000, 900 has been APP
propriated by Congress.
The expedition will leave the Pacific
coast about the middle OF February

The supplies which the government
Is sending the suffering miners in the

reindeer to be used in the expedition
and succeeded in buying 500 at from

FRANCEON THE VERGEOF WAR
French Papers Say Germany Is Repc:,...'-5-; the
Tactics Of 1870.
Appeal of Parisians to Prevent Trouble
The Dreyfus AFFAIR Is Causing In
ternational Agitation.

New York, Jan. 27.-Another turn
has been given to the Dreyfus affair by
the declarations of Baron Won Bulow
in the reichstag.
lie Petit Journal, lie Gaulois. lie
Journal. lie Solei, La Liberte Parol
and lie Echo De Paris all discuss
the matter from this point of view. says
the Paris correspondent of the Herald.
The statement that Germany had
nothing to do with Dreyfus comes as
a rather unusual proceeding. In fact
it is pretty generally disbelieved. al
though the Brussels correspondent of
Aurore, Clemenceaus paper. says that
an official in the foreign office there is
authority for the following statement.
"If Dreyfus betrayed any secrets, it
was to Russia and not to Germany.
II the French government refuses to
speak," declares this Belgian dip
lomatist. 1t is because it would be com
PEELED to accuse Russia and comprom-
Use the alliance SO dear to the country.
Rather than do that" he adds. they
would attempt a coup d'etat."
lie Petit Journals article on the subs
ject is n remarkable one. 1t says:
Europe is beginning to think that
the French government will soon be
unable to suppress the outbreak or
keep back some statements liable to
bring about conflict"
This" 1t declares. lis the motive
which has prompted Baron Won Blu
lows statements in the reichstag.
Does Germany fear or does she
seek war?
I'm any case" lie Petit Journal says,
at Is not to the interest of France to
let the matter go any further. A mod
ern war Is too terrible to be entered
upon lightly. Although France is dan
gerously near the abyss, 1t Is not too
late to pull up.
THAT Germany intends to be ready
is certain. She Is taking her precau-
lions so as not to be caught unawares."
In fact, according to lie Petit Jour
nal. she is repeating her tactics of 1870.
and the paper asks:
rs French patriotism so dead as to
lend her helping hands by keeping up
this agitation over the Dreyfus affair,
that has thrown the country into n fer
ment for months and can only serve
Germany, who is looking for q casus
belli?"

Chicago. Jan. 27.-James II. Ingram
London are on their way to the Klon-
dixie gold fields for the purpose of
dealing in dogs. They will buy and sell
dogs, and also do dog livery bust
ness. They expect to take in large
quantity of supplies with the 300 dogs
which they have already had shipped
to Skaguay. They will arrive in Daw-
son about April /.
Not only for the purpose of doing
freighting business, will the dogs be
used but they will also be rented for
pleasure sleighing.
Business can only be done in the win
ter time. but the experimenters hope
to be able to get such rates as to en-
able them to make a vacation in the
summer.
AS the use of dogs is practically the
only means of freighting in the coun-
try they feel confident that their stock
will be kept busy.

RUSSIA PUSHING OUT.
Arranging for North Coast Communication
with siberia.

Tacoma. WASH, Jan. 27.-Russia
Greatly desires to find means of COM
munication between her north coast
and Siberia by crossing the Arctic sea.
To this mend she will make some ex-
pertinent next summer. According to
advices received by the steamer Brae-
mar, Admiral Makaroff of the Russian
navy has announced his belief that 1t
Is possible to travel to Siberia by water
across the Arctic sea. He believes that
regular communication with the north
flowing Siberian rivers can be estab-
lished through July and August by pro-
viding vessels bound for these ports
with an escort of boats furnished with
ice plows.
The government is planning to test
this project, being greatly encouraged
by the success OF the Danish ice break
ers In keeping Vladivostock harbor
open this winter.
