London, April 5..--The movement OF the
powers OF Europe for joint offer OF me
diation between the United States and
Spain has received a severe and probably
fatal rebuff in the form Of u definite re
fusal upon the part of Great Britain to
participate in it. The project Of media

tenor OF the communication was 10 the
effect that European interests are threat

"pretensiOns Of the United States for the
right to interfere in colonial matters"
France, not Austria, was the prime mower
in the suggested mediation, Great BRIT

Paris, Sept. 22.-The trial of Col.
Picouart, who was at the head of the
secret intelligence department at the
time of the arrest and conviction of
Dreyfus, and Maitre lie Blois, his law
yer, upon charges of having revealed
documents relating to the national de-
Tense, was called in the Eighth cor
rcctional tribunal Wednesday. An eff
fort was made by the prosecution to
secure en- adjournment, but this was
opposed by counsel for Col Picquart.
Col. Picquart addressed the court in
opposition to adjournment and in con-
clusiun said:
Perhaps this may be the last time ] shall
speak In public. / shall perhaps sleep to-
night in the military prison of Cherche-
Midi. wish. therefore. to declare that II
find there the straBgsins rope of Lemorcier
Picard or the razor of Lieut. Col. Henry II
will be a case OF assassination, for have
not the least idea of committing suicide.
This utterance evoked cries of "Viye
Picquart." The court then adjourned
the trial indefinitely. Col. Picquart
declined to ask for bail, and was taken
back to prison by detectives, receiv.
ing an ovation from the crowd as he
was led away.
Gen. Chanoine, minister of war, de-
nies having ordered the institution OF
proceedings against Col. Picquart for
forgery. Gen. Zurlinden. the former
minister of war, alone had the power
he said, to order such proceedings.
