The Prisoner Likely to Get a Re-
hearing Of His Case.
Members Of the Ministry still Convinced Of
His Guilt,
hut That the Government Must
Consider the Change That Has
Come Over Public Opinion
Since the Suicide of Lieutenant
Colonel Henry.

PARIS, Sept. 5.-Interviews with the
Premier. NJ. Henry Brisson, and the
late Minister of War NJ Cavaignac. on
the subject of the political situation in
France as it has been affected by the
recent developments in the Dreyfus
case, are printed to-day in the Echo
de Paris" NJ Brisson is reported as
having said that all the members of
the Ministry are convinced of the guilt
of Captain Dreyfus, but that the Gov
ernment must consider the change that
has come over public opinion since the
suicide last week of Lieutenant Colonel
Henry. NJ. Brisson expressed the view
that it is the duty of the Government
20 end the excitement which is paralyz-
ing the best interests of Paris and of
the country
NJ CaVaiSnac, in the course of the
interview printed in the Echo de
Paris" says that it would be a serious
mistake, if not a supreme act of folly,
on the part of the Government to per-
sist in its present course. and that he
was not willing to participate in such
a policy.
You will see" said NJ. Cavaignac.
IN what a condition the country will
be after a new trial.
The newspapers Of Paris point out
that M Cavaignac's resignation of the
war portfolio has produced a painful
impression in political circles, which
while recognizing the fact that the in
nocence of Captain Dreyfus has not
yet been disprOved, take the ground
that a new trial of the charges against
the prisoner of DEVILS Island has be-
come necessary.
Ii Is said in some generally we'll in
formed quarters that the Premier NJ.

he holds in addition to the Presidency

AT MANILA.
There Will Be Large Reduction
in Tariff.

MANILA, Sept. 5.-There have been
several labor strikes here, the demand
being for excessive wages. Because
the American authorities in the early
exigencies of the situation here agreed
to the extravagant demands of the Ia
borers it has been difficult to return
to an equitable basis. One of these
strikes caused the suspension of traffic
on the tramways of Manila for three
days.
Copies of the new traiff have been
circulated here, but it has not yet been
enforced, pending the receipt of in
structions from Washington. 1t is es-
timated that under the American tariff
there will be an average reduction of
one third as compared with that of
Spain. An insurgent newspaper print

CHAPLAIN MCINTYRE.
Will be Tried by Court-Martial
for His Utterauces.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5-Ever since
the printed reports of the sensational
utteranceS of Naval Chaplain Jo-
seph P. Mcintyre reached the Navy
Department the officials have been
making a quiet inquiry into the ac-
curacy of the newspaper publications.
The Chaplain, who was attached to
the Oregon and was on board when
the battle of July Sd was fought, was
accredited with some savage criticism
Of Admiral Sampson, Captain Evans
and various other officers of the Amer
.ican fleet, insisting that to the officers
and men of the Oregon alone belonged
the victory achieved over the Spanish
squadron. He was particularly severe
on Captain Evans, who he charged
with cowardice. Apparently the Navy
Department has now satisfied itself
that the Chaplain really uttered the
language ascribed to him, for it has
ordered his trial by court-martial on
charges to the prejudice of good order
and discipline and conduct unbecoming
an officer. The Chaplain is now on
leave of absence in Denver
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5.-Chap-
lain Joseph P Mcintyre. reported in
an Associated Press dispatch from
Washington as having been ordered
court -martialed for certain utterances
made by him against naval officials,
is in this city, and not in Denevr, as
reported. He arrived here some days
ago. He professed to be greatly sur
prised when told of the action of the
department to-day, and says that he
has been misquoted and misrepresent-
ed by the newspapers, and that the re-
ported interviews with him, published
by several Eastern papers, were gar
bled. He says that he will prove his
conduct to have been above par and
not unbecoming an officer.

MARK BALDWIN.
His Suit Against Won Der Abe
Practically at An End.

PITTSBURG, Sept. j. The famous
case of Mark Baldwin the baseball
player, against Chris Won der Abe, has
practically come to an end, and he will
probably get his money in a few days.
Baldwin's attorneys filed a motion in
the United States Circuit Court to-day
asking that the appeal taken by Won
der Abe be dismissed for the reason
that he had not perfected his appeal
AS no objection was made by counsel
for Won der Abe, the court dismissed
the appeal
1t is expected that Won der Ahe's
surety, the Mercantile Trust Company
of this city, will pay over the money,
amounting to $4,000, without further
delay. w. A. Nimmick, who had Won
der Abe kidnapped and brought to this
city from st. Louis, has entered suit
to recover from Won der Abe the cost
of the trip.

Criticising Gen. Shafter

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-General Pando
was feeling we'll at the Hotel America
to-day, and for about two minutes he
submitted to an interview by newspa-
per reporters.
The first thing he had to say was that
a misunderstanding had gone abroad
about his criticism of General Shafter
He declared that the thought General
Shafter an able General, and he doubt
ed if any other American could have
brought the Santiago campaign to such
a speedy close with such little blood
shed.
General Pando also took occasion to
deny the story about his duel in Mex
leo. He said that he did not even know
such a person as he had been repre-
sented as fighting. General Pando will
sail tomorrow on either the Lain or

Speaking about bad roads, the resi-
dents on South Main St. beyond the
bridge say they would be quite content
ed if they could even have an apology
for a sidewalk. From Ayers street to
the end of South Main there is not any
thing that looks like a sidewalk. In
weather such as we have had for the
past few days 1t is almost impossible to
travel from the bridge to the top of the
hill without getting into mud ankle deep.
Now what kind of a state of things is
this, are not the citizens of South Main
street just as much entitled to side
walk as any other part of the city? 10

is assessed just rs high accordingly as
right in the heart of the city. The peo-
pie of this locality would be perfectly
satisfied with good sidewalk on only
one side of the road, if one or two suita-
ble crossings were added. There is
not even crossing beyond the one OPP
