The Independent like all yellow
journals is at loss to know which
side to strike on. When we pay
Spain 20 millions it is robbery of
the American people. When week
later they conclude that the admin

same policy is denounced as land

SO much money, and plundering her

TERRIFIC GALES ON
THE ATLANTIC COAST
Considerable Damage Done at At
lanta and Savannah and Is
lands in That Vicinity.

ATLANTA, Aug 31.-The storm which
swept up the Atlantic coast last night has
interrupted communication near the
ocean, and the extent of the damage is
not yet known. The officials of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company to-day say
that communication with Savannah is
completely interrupted. The only places
reached by wire are Charleston, S. c., and
Jacksonville, Fla The telegraph COM
pany has put on a, force of extra men at
Augusta, to which city all business for
Savannah is being sent. From there it
goes by train.
SAVANNAH, Aug. 31.-A heavy storm
is sweeping along the coast. The wind
at Savannah has been blowing a gale
since o'clock last night. reaching a We
locity Of about sixty miles an hour at 3
a. m. Telephone connection with Tybee
Island is cut off, and nothing has been
heard from there since early in the night
There is much fear for the shipping there
and at quarantine. The low lands are
flooded, and heavy damage to rice and
cotton will result. Railroad tracks are
washed out and the trains on all roads
are delayed.
At o'clock this morning the wind
reached a velocity of seyenty-five miles
an hour and rain poured in torrents. The
streets are filled with debris The last re-
port from Tybee, early last night, was
that the wind was blowing seventy miles
an hour and the operator in the signal
station was just leaving for the light
house for safety. The quarantine station
is believed to have been abandoned before
the escape of the occupants was cut off.

STORMY STRINGS
OF THE CABINET

PARIS, Aug. 31.-The Cabinet has
held two stormy sittings under the
presidency of NJ. Faure. 1t finally
arose between and Z o'clock having
apparently failed to arrive at a deci-
sion on the question OF revising the
Dreyfus sentence, for the customary
official note was not issued.
1t is possible, however, looking to the
excited state of public feeling, that the
Government deems it advisable to pro-
coed cautiously and to conceal it's de-
cision for the present.
NJ. Delcasss, Minister for Foreign At
fairs, is said to have been vehemently
attacked by his colleagues for having
been ignorant Of the intention of EN-
peror Nicholas to issue his disarma-
ment proclamation, but in face of the
revival of the Dreyfus affair the dis
armament proposal has taken quite a
secondary place. 1t is alleged that sew
eral Ministers, including M. Brisson,
the Premier; M. Maruejouls, the Minis
ter of Commerce, and M. Trolllilot,
Minister of the Colonies. demanded a
revision and the immediate suppression
of several staff officers. Cavaignac,
however, remained firm, on the ground
that Henry's forgery had not altered
the case as affecting Dreyfus' guilt.
Inc only result mus lar, therefore, is
that EsterhaZy Is cashiered and will
retire on small pension.
Even after leaving the council the
Ministers continued to argue heatedly.
M Faure has deferred his intended re-
turn to Havre. 1t would be impossible
to describe the sensation that has
thrilled Paris, and it is not unlikely
that at the next meeting of the Cham
Der of Deputies the Government will be
defeated

REVISION OF DREYFUS
TRIAL A. NECESSITY

Special dispatch TO The Call and the New York
Herald. Copyrighted 1885, by James Cor
don Bennett.
PARIS, Aug. 31.-The Journal des
Debats believes a revision of the Drey-
fus trial an absolute necessity. Taken
separately, Colonel Henry's forgery
does not prove Dreyfus' Innocence.
STILL" says the Debats. "the fact
that one of the documents relating to
the affair shows that forgery has been
committed, to prove after a trial that
the guilt of the condemned man is a
matter of such gravity that it must
necessarily provoke serious reflection
and call for a most minute examination
of other documents upon which the
case was built and of p-oofs produced
openly or secretly in the trial.
The Journal, which is anti-Dreyfus,
says: The former officers guilt was more
than ever proved during a scrutiny of
the evidence by the Minister of War.
wherein no forgery was discovered.
The Patrie makes the Supplying de-
claration that discovery of this forgery
is proof that other documents con-
cerned in the case are genuine.
The Lantern says the man who pur-
sued Picquart with the testimony
from the Assize Court to the Cabinet of
Judge Construction is a miserable
forger who has not hesitated at crime
in order to further some tortuous
scheme of the general staff.

confession Of Forger Henry opens up a
denouement of the trageay with which
France has been -hghting for years in

tatf0n for blunt straightforwardness
General de Boisdeffre, in his letter
of resignation, explains that he re-
signed owing to his misplaced con-
fidence in Lieutenant Colonel Henry,
which led him to present as genuine
what was forged evidence.
NJ Caviagnac, the Minister of War,
in reply, asked General Boisdeffre to
remain ito see justice rendered in the
matter" General Boisdeffre thanked
M Caviagnac for the proofs of his es-
TEEN, but persisted in his resignation
He will be replaced, therefore, by
General Renourd, director Of the Mill
tary College.
The fact of Colonel Henrys suicide
became known at Mont Valerien about
o'clock tonight. 1t was possible that
1t was committed about in the after
noon.
When the official entered his cell
Henry was found lying in a pool OF
blood, dead, with a terrible cash in his
throat.
Shortly before midnight, Madame
Henry, who had been Informed, went
to the fortress and was admitted, the
officials granting her permission to

CONCERNED OVER
ARMY SCANDALS
President Mckinley May
Soon Act.
HAS SHORTENED HIS VISIT
UPON HIS RETURN WILL DE-
CLARE HIMSELF.
HAS SHORTENED HIS VISIT
If There Is No Reaction in the Att
tude of the Press and Public
the Executive Will Take
a Firm Stand.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-A special
from Cleveland to the World says:
President Mckinley is profoundly con-
cerned over the army scandals. He has
the situation in hand and will act,
probably soon after his return to
Washington from his visit to Montauk
Camp, provided there has been no re-
action in the attitude Of the press and
public resulting from a belief that the
stories of abuses have been over
drawn"
This significant remark was made to
me to-day by a gentleman who has
seen and talked with the President and
his closest advisers here during the
visit of Mr.. Mckinley to Outlook,
Colonel Herrick's home in Euclid
Heights, fashionable suburb of Cleve-
land. Since his departure from Wash
ington the President has received ad-
question which have caused him to
radically and several times alter his
plans.
1t was his first intention to pass sew
eral days with his brother Abner, in
Pennsylvania and week here In
Cleveland, but the first stop was cut
down to one day and his visit here to
two.
Tomorrow morning he will leave
for Canton where a stop of only a few
hours will be made and the journey
to Montauk be resumed. The reason
for this is found in the remark quoted
at the beginning of this dispatch. The
President is profoundly concerned over
the army scandal and is moving with
all haste into a position where he can
declare himself in the matter.
