HOW DREYFUS is TREATED.
The only story concerning the life that
Dreyfus leads on the lie du Diable that is
at all worthy of belief is that told a few
months ago by the captain of a Dutch ves-
sci which passed near the island on her
way from the Dutch colony to Antwerp.
The story was first printed in the Dutch
journals, and was afterward copied in one
form or another into most of the news
rers of the continent.
If the story of the Dutch shpmaster be
true, the lot of the ex-captain of artillery
is not as bad as is generally believed. 1t
passing near the island. was boarded by
some French mariner, who asked for the
loan OF the ships cook for few hours
Inc reason given was that the man who
did the cooking on the island had broken
MS arm and had been taken to the hospital
On st. Josephs and another one had not
been provided. The Dutch captain accord
lngly sent a sailor named Weinheber to
DeviPs island to act as cook for while
during his very brief sOjourn on the island
Weinheber is said to have seen Dreyfus
ana to nave had an opportunity OF observ-
ing how the ex-captain was treated.
According to the Dutchman, the prisoner
rose every morning between and o'clock
had cup of chocolate, bath, and, if the
weather permitted, a walk. While taking
the bath the prisoners wrists were tied
around with a cord. one end of which was
held by warder. This was to prevent any
the ex-captain breakfasted on bread and
butter. an egg and bottle of beer. This
meal being over. he read books on military
topics and wrote letters and his memoirs,
the epistles being always sent to his friends
through the military Governor at Cayenne.
Dreyfus is also allowed to play cards with
his guards, but not for money. as he is not
allowed to retain the possession of sou.
At o'clock in the afternoon the prisoner
receives bread, roast meat. vegetables, des-
sert and beer. At in the evening he has
supper of cold ham, with more bread and
beer.
Weinheber being allowed to draw near
the prisoner. Dreyfus shook him by the
hand and said: Greet the outside world
for me when you return to it," The Dutch
man further asserts that the ex-captain has
grown quite stout; that he is not in an
iron cage but has the whole range of the
island. under the eyes of the warders.
If not entirely true in detail, the Dutch
mans tale apparently has some foundation
in fact. for there is nothing to lead one
to suspect that the prisoner is not as well
treated as the circumstances permit. If
such had not been the case. ii seems that
Dreyfus could have conveyed some intima-
ton of his true state in the letters that he
has written to his wife

WASHINGTON, Sept 26.-The first word
that has come to Washington from the
American members of the peace commission
since their departure save a brief announce
ment of arrival in England, was received
at the Navy Department to-day, being a
cablegram requesting that Captain Brad
ford, chief of the Equipment Bureau, be
sent at once to Paris to assist the COM
mission. AS the officer is the leading expert
of the Navy Department in the matter of
coaling stations, ocean routes of communi-
cation and strategic points, the inference is
that the commission expects to begin
promptly the consideration of those subjects
so far as they relate to the Philippines and
the Ladrones. Respecting the latter group
from which the United States commission
ers are to make a selection for a coaling
station. II has been found that the only
good harbor is on the Island of Guam, the
capital of the group. which was captured
by one of the war ships bound for Manila
yet if that is taken there will be so little of
the group thus left without an ocean harbor
that ii is believed that it would be best
for both parties. the United States and
Spain. to allow all of the islands to go with
Guam into United States possession. Capt
Bradford has taken passage on the Lucania
sailing from New York next Saturday.
