CAR RoBBER CAUGHT.


kansas City, Sept. 26.--John Post, alias
John Ryan, and Andrew Hatch, alias
Oscar Heath, are under arrest here charg
ed with robbing freight cars. Post will
be taken to Portland, Or, where he is
wanted for extensive robberies perpetrat-
ed upon the Northern Pacific company.
He will be held for robberies committed
here.
Post was captured through the shad-
owing of his mother, Mrs. Ryan, by the
detectives, who believed that her son
would be in communication with her.
They traced her from Portland, Or, to
Kansas City. Two weeks later her son
arrived from Denver and visited his
mother and his arrest followed. The
method of the robbers has been to break
into cars en- route, throw the plumber
out between stations land gather it up
later with wagons. Their operations are
said to have been very extensive.

Washington, Sept. 26.-The officials
here are watching with interest the pro-
gress being made by the military commits
sion in Havana in securing the evacuation
of the island of Cuba The commission
has been slow in making reports to the
war department, but from the latest it
appears that the body would like to have
more definite instructions as to proceed
ure.
1t seems that the Spanish side has said
that they could not begin the evacuation
of the island until the first of November
and that it could not be completed before
February %. :
In view of the alarming state Of the
Cubans, who are suffering from hunger
and their inability to obtain work, the
president decided that he could not assent
to the consumption of so much time.
Therefore he caused the commission to be
instructed to demand that the evacuation
by the Spaniards begin not later than
October Is and that it be completed by
December 81 next.
What the result Of this demand will
be is not yet known, but it is said the
administration is determined to allow no
dilatory tactics on the part of the Span
ish forces in leaving the island, although
disposed to permit reasonable indulgence.

A NEW TRIAL FOR DREYFUS
CHARGES OF BRIBERY MADE.
Revision of the Dreyfus Case IL De-
cided Upon by the Cabinet-MOre
Lying by Esterhaxy-ROchefo
Makes Charges Against Ester
haxy.

Paris, Sept. 26.-At meeting of the
cabinet this morning, all the ministers
being present, decision was taken in
favor of revision of the trial of former
Captain Dreyfus, and the documents in
this case will be sent to the court of cas-
sation.
Crowds of people outside the ministry
of the interior. where the cabinet coun.
ell was held, loudly cheered the minis
tiers.
The cabinet ordered Minister of JUS
tice Sarrien to lay before the court Of
cessation the petition of Madame Dreyfus
for the revision of her husbands case
This court, therefore, will decide the le-
gal question as to whether the first trial
of Dreyfus was vitiated by the forgery
committed by the late Lieutenant Colonel
Henry.
The minister of justice has given in.
structions that proceedings are to be
taken immediately against any one at
lacking the army.
In the Intransigeant today Henri Ro
chefort accuses Major Esterhazy ofhavins

dictate to "cover himself with dishonol
by confessing to forgery, of which
charge he was twice acquitted"
Rochefort adds that he paid Esterhazy
1000 francs for copies OF all the docu'
merits in the case and in addition, with
two other newspaper men, he paid Ester
hazy, who was without funds, 300 francs
monthly to prevent him dying Of hunger
while waiting to obtain a pension. Con
tinuing, Rochefort says:
Recently, without any apparent in
centive, Esterhazy mysteriously went te
London, abandoning 800 francs monthly
Why this emigrationf Who paid for this
journey? With what money has Ester
hazy paid for his mealsf"
NJ. Clemenceau, in the Aurore, re
marks:
"France is divided into two camps
those who conceive that the interests
of the country depend on the conceal
ment of facts by lies and those who
have sufficiently high esteem of The
country to separate enthusiasm from AS
PERSONS of justice and TRUTH"
The Libre Parole asserts that Ester
hazy has telegraphed to the minister o
war protesting against the story pub
