successor in the intelligence depart
ment. 1t is now evident that Henry
forged the letter with the express OBJ
ject of paralyzing Colonel Picquart's eff
forts to expose Major E~sterhazy and
get a revision of the Dreyfus case.
The scene at Lieutenant Colonel
Henry's ayowal was most painful.
When he saw that it was almost use
less to deny further, his tongue grew
too thick for his mouth and he was I'M
able to speak. 1t vas feared he would
have an apoplectic stroke. After his ar
rest he was permitted to visit his wife.
He announced he vas under arrest and
exclaimed: My conscience is pure
and free from every sting" This ex-
clamation is much commented on as
going to show he may possibly have
forged the letter under orders from his
superiors.
STORMY CABINET SESSION.
The cabinet held two stormy sittings
under the presidency of NJ. Faure. It
finally arose, having apparently failed
to arrive at the decision of revising
the Dreyfus sentence, for the custo-
mary official note was not issued.

MISS BARTON MUST PONY UP.
Our Government Will Not Interfere
With the Bianco Ruling.

Washington, Aug. 31.-Miss Barton
probably will be obliged to pay the du-
tiles and fines imposed by the Spanish
officials Of Havana upon the cargo of
the relief ship Comal, il she desires to
secure the admission Of the supplies to
Havana and their distribution. The in
formation that reached our government
of the imposition Of these charges
came from the British consul at Ha-
vana, who is charged with the care of
United States interests. After oonsfd-
Grafton the officials have decided that
until the United States military COM
mission which is to arrange for evacua-
tion of the island OF Cuba has discharg-
ed thai duty, the administration of
Spanish law by the Spanish officials
must be respected, and so long as It
appears that there is nothing unusual
or unlawful In their action. they must
be allowed to conduct the custom house
In their own way. OF course it is hoped
that the oflcials will not take a narrow
view OF the conditions which Miss Bar
ton b trying to meet, but as already
stated, unless further details change
the aspect of the case, there will be no
Interference on the part OF our govern
ment.

Geography is not only one Of the
most important as well. 1t is not Of
value to the student alone, but to every
nan and woman who wishes to keep
IN touch with the happenings Of the
great world about them. The ews
from distant parts of the earth, which
is brought to the breakfast table every
morning, is much of it little better
than Greek to the person who is I'M
familiar with geography. In fact the
stirring vents of the world compel
those who desire to have the correct
knowledge of them TO be daily students
of this important branch of education.
This truth is apparent to anyone who
has tried to follow the course OF our
val with Spain. Before Admiral Dew
ey's victory how many people knew the
location Of Manila and the Philippine
Islands? The Cape Verde islands,
where the Spanish fieet modified, and
the Dry Tortugas where our own feet
collected, preparatory to the search
for Cervera and the bombardment of
Santiago de Cuba, are now familiar
names.
During the past year we have had in
teresting news from Alaska, Armenia,
Japan, China, India. Greece and Tur-
key. In these t%roublous times, a
knowledge of the geographical forma-
ton OF the countries Of the globe. their
colonies, and the location Of the chief
towns and rivers is indispensable to
one who would read his daily paper in
diligently.
Approaching the great usefulness OF
