NINE. DREYFUS VERY ILL.

Letter From Her Husband Seems to
Have Frustrated Her.
Paris. Nov. 2S.-Mme. Drcyfus, wife
of the unhappy prisoner of Devils
island, is in bed i'll and has been since
the receipt of a recent letter from her
husband. She has been so Frustrated
i'll fact that access to her is denied, and
the text of the cable message which
she is said to have sent to Captain
Dreyfns, a privilege which the French
government has accorded her, is not
obtainnble.
Following is the translation of the
letter from Captain Dreyfus read to
his wife by the chief clerk of the min
lister of the colonies, the French gov
eminent having withheld from her the
possession of the original letter:
Despair is beginning TO seize me.
Have all my friends forgotten me?
No II seems to be occupying
themselves with me.
Il recall to you that months ago
wrote to the president of the republic
and to General B%oisdeffre begging
them to introduce n revision OF my
ease.
Il am without news; nothing-notl-
ing comes to me.
II leave as a bequest to the presi-
dent and General Hoisdeffre the task
of avenging my memory, of clearing
my honor, my name, and that Of my
dear children, whom | shall see no
more.
~ shall nc longer communicate with
my family, as | lave said all there is
to be said, and have nothing to
say"
Captain Dreyfus' affection for his
family is well known. and the pathetic
nature of this letter is therefore al the
more %npparent.

RESIGNATION OF GENERAL sLAhco

New York, Nov. 29.-The Tribune's
Havana correspondent cables; Gem
eral Blanco's retirement and resigna-
ton from the autonomist cabinet in
creases the confusion here. Regret is
felt that the United States does not
take immediate jurisdiction. General
Blanco is carrying out his original
purpose not to participate i'll any for
mai surrender of authority to the
American flag. Besides his personal
feeling in the matter, he avoids grow
ing difficulties with the Spanish
troops. One million dollars was prom
ised toward their payment, but adj
vances on this amount have not been
received. The Madrid government,
however, is showing how energetic it
can be in enbarking troops. The
transports now in the harbor and to
arrive within a few days will take
away $4,000 soldiers by December 10.
to Blanco for the short period that re-
mains of Spanish sovereignty.
Many insurgents have asked for and
received discharges without awaiting
the return of the Garcia commission
from Washington. The insnrgent
commanders have completed the skel-
eton of NJ organization of rural police
from the ranks of the insurgents.
While this scheme is i'll line with the
policy of the United States. formal APP
proval has not yet been given it.
Disquieting reports are received
from some parts of Santa Clara that
insurgents who had been n part of
Gomez's forces are not willing to give
up their arms when they disband.
They are reported TO be hiding both
arms and ammunition.

Vancouver, B. c., Nov. as.-Mrs. Har-
ry Treat, wife of Manager Treat, of the
Van Anda Mining company, who ar
rived here from New York recently,
went a few days ago to visit the
famous Van Andn mine, owned chiefly
by her husband, situated 1870 miles IN
the coast or TeSaca island.
Two nights after her arrival there
she dreamed she had found a nloun-
tain of gold. The location and every
thing else connected with it were vivid
~ impressed on her mind the follow
ing day. Mr.. Treat laughed at what
lie termed un idle dream, hut his wife
was SO persistent that he finally con
sented to search for the mountain.
They started out last Sunday and
found n mountain which was fairly
scanned with free gold.
Procuring samples OF the ore, they
returned to Van Anda camp. The next
day Tent sent out Mendenhall, the
coast expert. He pronounced II The
biggest discoyery2of the province. The
ore when assayed here went to $40 q
ton. Thousands Of tons are in sight.
In fact. there is q whole mountain OF it.

lively as to exclude much of the matter
usually included in the message. The
president will find space to incorpor-
ate only scanty resumes of the most
important features from the reports of
his cabinet officers, and many of their
recommendations will have to go with
out special Endorsement. As regards
monetary reform, ii is stated that the
president will ~reiterate in brief form
what lie said a year ago. In dealing
with the matter the president will re-
view the circumstances leading up to
hostilities. He will recite the achieve
of the army and navy. He will
set forth the terms of peace. He will
do what no other president has been
able to do, deal with the beginning. the
course and the glorious ending of a
