New YORK, Sept. 1.-The Evening
Journal prints what purports to be u
story of RoOsevelts Round Robin" at
Santiago. August 3, it is stated, Shaft
er called a conference of all surgeons
and commanders. The sick list was
then mounting fast, and the majority
of the army were weak from the ter
rible hardships they had under
gone. OF the conquerors of Toral
there remained perhaps 5000 effective
fighting men. All members of
the conference advised sending the ar
nv north.
In face of this came an order from
Washington to preserve the health OF
the army by breaking camp each day
and marching two miles to new camp.
Officers declared this plah ridiculous
and impossible. Then came an order
from Alger to move the army thirty
miles to San Luis and stay there indef1.

in opposition to orders.
Finally, with Skaters consent.
Roosevelt wrote the ''Rouud Robin
and signed it. Shafter was censured
for making it public, but it aroused the
country and the troops came home.

SHERMAN REITERATES
What He Has Said OF The War De-

WASHINGTON, Sept. John Sher-
man has not changed his views about
the management of the war, SO far as
the war department goes. "If the man
at the head of that department, says
he, sis not competent to manage his de-
partment so as to see to it that men un-
der him perform their duties properly,
be is not fit for the position.
1.-The story is going the:rounds, said
the interviewer, that an officer of the
war department upon whose official act
depended the promptness of forwarding
the supplies has been so intoxicated
at times as to have been
incapable of performing his duties. !"
Sherman said: ''If that it true, if one
soldier has died because responsible
officer was drunk, that officer should
be cashiered-no, be should be-

FRANCES ATTITUDE
A Sensational Story OF Intrigue

A Sensational Story OF Intrigue.
LONDON, Sept. 1.-William Wilson,
editor of the London Year Book am
plities the ar. icle which was published
by the Spectator on Saturday last
regarding Frances attitude toward
the United States in the late war.
He says not long after the opening of
the war the French government con-
ceived a plan, the object of which was
to rescue Spain, to advertise srebuke
to American ambition, and to assert
European supremacy in complications
ia the western world.
By a combination of good fortune
and diplomatic adroitness the French
government secured the support of all
the other continental powers, Germany
and Russia included. The stroke was
all but completely prepared, and moth
ing remained but to secure, if not the
active assistance. at least the tacit con-
sent of neutrality of England.
AT this point the first and last check
to the scheme was received. Proposi
tions for diplomatic Intervention, if
that should be sufficient, or interven-
tion by force of arms if needful, was
definitely submitted to Lords Sails
bury.
To the surprise and grief of the
French cabinet reply was delivered
to the effect that if the plan were not
directly abandoned, not only would her
msjesty's government refuse to coun-
tenance it's execution, but it would join
forces with the American government
and declare war on France and such
supporters as should come to her as
sistance. The negotiations at once fell
through and the French government
was compelled to beat an ignominious
retreat.

ed. He complained some on account of
being arrested but Jailer Blacker took
all the complaints out of the offender
when he reached for the cell key to
lock him up. He then wanted to COM
promise the matter by paying the fine,
which he was allowed to do. There
have been great many runaways OF
late on account of people neglecting to
hitch their horses, and the police are
rightly looking after these violators.

WANT TO POSTPONE
The Aiuer-MiIes Exhibition.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The war de-
partment is fighting to have the Miles
fireworks engagement indefinitely
postponed. Everything possible is be-
ing done to prevent that officer from
precepitating a general inquiry into
the conduct of the war.
Today q military friend of Corbi IN
and Alger talked the matter over with
an intimate friend of Miles. The Of
fcer sdelicately suggested that it
would be wise thing if Miles, upon
his arrival in this country,
or at his earliest convenience, would
intimate to the newspapers that the
government dispatches were given out
through the ipdiscretion of staff Of
ficer.
He said it would not be necessary
for Miles to go into detail as to how
these dispatches we're given out, nor
need ne make any direct char ges
against any one. 1t is in-
timated that if this were
done by the general comm anding the
army it is very likely nothing further
would be heard of the matter. After
the conversation the friend of Corbir
said he thought it very likely thai
Miles will see fit to act in such man
ner in order to avoid investigation.
The president has intimated to pro
minent congressional committeeman
that it would be unwise for the part,
to be found in an attitude of opposing
the investigation. Friends O
Gen. Miles are saying today
that a court martial will not be salts
factory to the general, but that he will
shape his conduct when he returns 81
that it will result in general mill
tary inquiry.

HOBSON is GAME.
He Doesn't Want To Let The Colon
Go.

SANTIAGO, Sept Naval Con-
structor Hobson has decided to con-
tinue his efforts to save the wrecked
cruiser Cristobal Colon in spite OF the
decision of the navy department to
give up the Job. He received the
news of the navy departments deci-
sion in the matter yesterday from
Commodore Watson.
Hobson Immediately started for the
scene of the wreck, and meeting the
wrecking tug Senior returning pursu-
ant to Com modore Watson's order, he
started it back again. Hobson told
Watson he would take the responsible
lity for his action. He sent urgent
dispatches to the navy department
asking permission to resume work.
He says the difficulty about raising
the Colon is simply one of engineering.
The Colon has slid little further sea-
ward since she was run ashore by the
fleeing Spaniards, but she has not been
harmed by the action of wind or waves.
Hobson estimated the Colon g value at
three millions. He thinks lit will be
disgraceful to give up the attempt to
save her now.
He told your correspondent that if
the government did not back him up in
appeal to the people for q popular
of half million to carry
on the work.

FORGERY AND MURDER
1t Is Said That The French Govern
ment Asked Lieut.. Col. Henry
To Commit Suicide.


NEW YORK, Sep. 1.-Paris dis
patches to the New York Journal re-
ferring to the case of Lieut.. Col. Hen
ry, of the French army, tell story OF
intrigue and crime that shows up the
French nation. or at least the official
part of it, in a most unfavorable light.
The officer was discovered to be the
author of a very important letter which
was one of the principal pieces of evil
dence presented in the Dreyfus case,
and perhaps was most Instrumental in
securing the unjust conviction.
When it was positively shown that
Henry had forged the letter and that
there was no way of escape, he broke
down and confessed, but intimated that
he was ordered to dol by his superiors
because it was necessary to trump up
evidence agains Dreyfus.
The exposure of Col. Henry has
caused CONSERVATION among the friends
of Count Esterhazy and the enemies of
Dreyfus. At the same time the friends
of the unfortunate exile are sanguine
that the case will have to be reopened
and that the people will demand that
it be revised. General LIE Mouton de
Boisdeffre, chief of the general staff of
the French army, who used the forged
letter in his evidence, has been forced
to resign, although the minister of
war expressed confidence in him.
Finally, to cap the climax, Lieut..
Col. Henry committed suicide by cut
ting his throat with razor in pris-
on.
A dispatch to the Evening Journal
from Paris says of the suicide of Col.
Henry: THE way out of the world
WAS made easy to him. Apparently he
was not searched at all when he was
taken to prison, for it is stated on good
authority that he carried q razor in his
satchel He can tell no more. 1t is
charged the government asked him
point blank to commit suicide, saying
it was the best way to avoid the ter
rible scandal which must follow his
confession and which would tarnish
the honor of the French army. Ulti.
mately Henry did as persuaded, and
now many secrets will be buried with
him.
PARIS. Sept. 1.-The Echo says there
is reason to believe that the minister OF
justice has taken steps toward or dering
q new trial for ex Captain Dreyfus. II
is significant, the paper adds, that
Lieut.. Col. Henry committed suicide
shortly after being visited by an officer
longed stay ordered the sentry at the
door not to disturb Henry as he had a
great deal of work to do.
After the departure of the officer
Henry must have written his farewell
letters, including kilograms addressed
to Gen. Boisdeffre and M. Cavsignac,
and then cut his throat. 40 officer of
high rank is authority for the state
ment that M. Cavsignac is convinced
that Henry did not initiate the forgery
Of the fabricated.letter and every eff
fort will be made to fiud his accom-
plices.
1t is rumOred that the arrest of Lieut..
Col. Patty DuClam is imminent and
there is also widespread belief that
the majority of officers of the general
staff will resign.
PARIS, Sept. lie Patrie says tina.
General Conse has resigned. 1t is also
announced in that paper that Lieut.
Col. Patty du Clam has been arrested
