TRUE STORY OF "ckMILLE."
Letters From the OUNCE Dumas, who
Was the Armand DuyaI of the Play.

"as he aff1bnu DuNal OF the ray.
A Partisan review has a very curious
article upon the story of the Dame
aux Camellas,'' that poor Marie Du-
plessis who died so sadly after a life
which certainly was not exemplary, but
which a and the stage have
made famous. The author of the ar
ticle, NJ. Georges Soreau, publishes let
tiers by the younger Dumas, which
leave no doubt that he introduces him
self in the character of Armand Duval,
the principal character In the piece in
which Marie Duplessis is immortalized
under the name of Marguerite Gautier.
The story was whispered about for a
long time among theatrical people. but
here are some authentic documents
with which NJ. Soreau reveals the facts.
Dumas fills not only knew Marie Du-
plessis, but was in love with her. He
simply describes himself in the charac-
ter of Armand Duval. In presenting
the piece to the public. Dumas wrote:
Marie Duplessis did not have all the
pathetic adventures which i give to
Marguerite Gautier, but she was per-
fectly willing to nave them. If she
sacrificed nothing to Armand ii was
because the latter did not wish any
sacrifices. To her great regret. she
played only he first and second acts In
the piece"
In a letter addressed TO Sarah Bern
hardt, the celebrated playwright and
novelist said:
MY Dea Sarah: Permit me TO give
you Il copy OF an edition OF the Dame
aux Camelias,' which is now very rare.
What makes this volume unique OF its
kind Is the autograph letter which you
Will find on page 212, and which is pref
ty nearly the same as the letter printed
on that page. This letter was written
by the genuine Armand Duval about 40
years agO He was then the same age
as your son. The letter is the only
palpable thing that remains OF the
story. 1t seems to me that II belongs
10 you of right, since you have Just
brought the dead man back to youth
and life. Keep it, at all events, as a
souvenir of the pleasant evening of
Saturday last and as a feeble testi-
monial of my great admiration and pro-
found gratitude. A. DUMAS, fills.
"2S January. 1884"
The following is Dumas autograph
letter to Marie Duplessis:
MY Dear Marie: l am not rich
enough 10 love you the way i would
wish, nor poor enough TO be loved after
your fashion. Let US forget. therefore,
on your part, a name which must be
somewhat Indifferent to you, and. on
my part, a happiness which becomes
impossible.
1T is useless to tell you how sad !
feel. since you know already how much
I love you.
Farewell. You have too big a heart
not to understand the significance of
this letter. and too much intelligence
to pardon me for it. A thousand
membranes,

GOOD PROSPECT OF WAR
Between the South African
Republic and Great Bri-
tain Over the Rights
Of Foreigners.

JOHANNESBURG, Dec. 30.-The feel
ing of the Uitlanders or foreign re-
sidents against the Boer government
is becoming more intense. The situa-
tion is more threatening than it has
been at any time since the memorable
Jameson raid.
Recent measures and proposed meas
ures that are aimed at still further
restricting the rights and privileges of
foreigners in the Transvaal have
aroused much feeling. To add to this
political discomfort there is q rising
race antipathy which is likely to make
trouble.
AS is we'll known, the British gov
ernment exercises q sort of suZerainty
over the South African Republic,
restricted however to the control of
foreign affairs. This arrangement
was made by the treaty of
London, 1884. The British have
the largest interests in the Transvaal
and the strongest feeling of the Beers
is directed against the English. This
feeling has been all the stronger since
Jameson's raid three years ago.
The foreign population of the
Transvaal has increased marvelously
since the development of the gold
fields began on q large scale. In fact,
the British and Americans have
rowded into the cities, par
ticularly the city of Johannes
burg, the center of the Witwatersrand
mining region, until they almost con-
troll the industry and commerce out
side of the farming occupations. The
Beers have not yet realized that con-
ditions have SO changed as to demand
new laws and methods of government.
The feeling of discomfort among the
foreign residents is now verging upon
the breaking point. The press OF the
republic is in some instances advis-
ing resistance to the last
ditch, and urging that the first act of
war on the part of British representa-
tives be followed by the utter annihila-
tion of the city of johannesburg.
The situation ia alarming.
