tice Fell Into the Village Streets.


tice Fell Into the Village Streets.
MATTEAwAN. n. Y, July 2S.-The people OF
Cold Spring village. near here. moved about to-
day without fear Of bombardment by the West
Point Cadets at seacoast battery practice. For
this they gave the credit TO Capt. Henry Met
cali. a retired army officer. He wrote to the
Secretary of War protesting against the danger
to which the village was at times exposed be-
cause OF the target practice OF the cadets. and
he received word yesterday that the practice
would be stopped.
Co!d SSpriaE lies directly across the river from
mile distant. The target Is situated on the side
Of Crow Nest Shells fired from the big guns
have sometimes rebounded from the rocky
sides Of the mountain into the streets OF Cold
Spring. The last time the cadets had firing
practice pieces Of shell weighing from 55 10 70
pounds fell in the heart of the village. Pre-
yi0us TO that time shells, that did not explode
fell into Cold Spring and were afterward dug
out, having penetrated a distance Of eight
and ten feet into the earth.

NENYORK FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER FOURTEEN PAGES

CHIEF of the general staff has committed sui
eide. Both rumors are without foundation.
General GOnse has been persuaded TO with
draw his resignation. as his retirement under
the age limit will occur next month.
The lull in news, however. has in no way d.
minished the popular excitement. Speculation
is keenest over the motives for Lieutenant
Colonel Henrys suicide. Looking 10 the view
the whole nation has adopted regarding the guilt
Of Dreyfus. il is argued that Henry may have
supposed he acting in the country's inter-
ests even in forging the letter. which would
satisfy the nation of the justice Of the sentence
without the production of the real evidence.
which would be undesirable on the highest po-
iitical grounds. In that case Henry might have
posed martyr to misguided patriotism.
The traditions of the Intelligence Department,
which, at the time of the condemnation Of Drey-
fus, was under conspicuous anti-Semite, Colo
mel Sandherr, would probably have led blunt
mind like Lieutenant Colonel Henrys to con-
strue the slightest hint from above of the de-
sra bility of killing off the anti-Dreyfus agita-
tion into order to do so by any means
Colonel Sandherr. who was then suffering from
incpient paralysis seems to have been the
head Of general conspiracy to hunt Jewish ofii-
GERS out of the French Army. Dreyfus a man
of naughty demeanor. but Of vast strategic
knowledge would naturally be selected as vic
tim of these Vaccinations
COLONEL sANDHERRs FEARS.
1t is asserted that Colonel Sandherr in his last
days had a fear. amounting to terror. lest the
illegal nature Of the evidence upon which Cap
tain Dreyfus was condemned should be revealed,
and that he enjoined Henry. his subordinate. to
guard the departments traditions AT all cost.
The carelessness Of the authorities in allowing
Henry to have razor and in not watching him
is generally interpreted as connivance. ana
perhaps as persuasion. since officers under ar
rest and likely to be condemned should. accord
ing to military regulations be constantly
watched.
If there were persuasion. it is not likely to
have been difficult. Had Henry been expelled
from the Army both himself and wife would
have lost all pension rights AS II is his widow
becomes entitled to q handsome pension. This
seems a more likely motive than the explana-
ton. based upon the alleged incoherent letter
he left behind. tnat he had lost his reason
1t appears that the Minister for War. NJ
Cavaignac is convinced that Colonel Henry had
accompices in the forgery Of the discriminating
document. In this connection II is reported that
the Minister Of Justice. NJ. Sarrcn. has already
taken steps TO grant Dreyfus a retrial.
The Minister for War this afternoon received
in audience General Renouard. Director OF the
Military College who has accepted the office OF
