But" he continued, II distrusted even
these: Il told General Pellieux after the
suicide of Colonel Henry that 1t would be
impossible to stop things and that the
movement would be formidable. The gen.
erals lost their heads wrote to Cavaignac
a long letter acquainting him with the
points of the affair. He refused to see me.
My ruin had been determined upon. was
thrown overheard and had nothing left
but to get away and await Developments :"
The Count proceeded to declare that he
had vainly tried to convince General Pei

cry. but that General Pellieux had declined
| to listen to him.

but three persons who knew the truth Of
the matter-Sanders, Henry and myself.
The first two are dead and alone hold the
secret"
Count Esterhazy complained bitterly Of
the treatment of himself and Madame Paws
who Is In prison In Paris. He declares that
Judge d'Instruction Bontulois had Ma.
dame Pays brought from the Saint Lazare
prison and offered her her libert yif she
would reveal all she knew about the gener-
als.
After reference to the other phases of
the affair. Count Esterhazy said:
II intend to publish book that will
throw light upon the unhealthy Dreyfus
story. Cavaignac made a mistake in per-
scouting me, but he struck at the same time
his relations. Colonel Patty du Clam. I
may mention, had already declined PEN
sion offered by General Billot."
Count Esterhazy affected a gay nom
chalance but just as he was taking the
train. he said in a sharp, nervous tone:

platform Of Republicanism but 1t had still
been declared that the Republican party
of California was for an international
agreement which meant nothing.
The keynote of the campaign, according
to General Barnes speech In San Francisco.
was that the Spanish-American war &C.
Cured while Republican president was in
the chair, and the Republicans based their
chances Of success on this fact There was
another keynote in the facts laid down by
Mr.. Gage in his Los Angeles speech. in
which he paid a glowing tribute to nosi-
sectionalism In the present war and scored
those who failed to supply soldiers with
proper food, clothing treatment. etc. That
responsibility must be fixed.
Mr.. Mcguire proved that Cages state
ments In regard to his voting against the
appropriations for soldiers in the house OF
representatives were erroneous. The
speaker stated that he did vote for every
bill appropriating money for the war. He
|showed plainly how the Democratic party
tried to secure more money to carry on the
war; but tried to obtain 1t In different way
from taxing the poor man.
Mcguire strongly commended that loans to
the Southern Pacific railroad should be col
lected or foreclosed and showed how the
Southern Pacific was directly opposed to
interests in California.
The speech closed amid rounds of ap-
plause and the audience filed out feeling
confident that the name Of the next gov

A GENERAL RESUME
Of Conditions Prevailing Up to Au-
gust Thirtieth

| MANILA, P. l., Aug. 3O.-(Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press.) From an
American point of view the situation here
today is simply one of expectancy, the a,i-
| thorities awaiting instructions from
Washington and their subord!nates hop
ing for relief from their onerous duties and
O speedy return to their homes.
The Spanards, firm In the belief that
Manila was surrendered after the peace
| negotiations had been commenced swag-
ger about the city with an air of conf
dence that 1t will soon be restored to them.
The Felipinos, with characteristic
nonchalance, are making hay while the
sun shines, relieving their American
friends Of their hard-earned cash by every
conceivable means, and wondering how
much longer their good fortune will con-
tlnue.
What the insurrectionists under Agui-
naldo think of the situation no one seems
to know or care. They are on the outside
and not seriously considered as factor
at this stage of the game by either side, APP
parently.
At the same time as a measure of pre-
caution, they are not allowed to carry
arms into the city, although no other re-
striction Is placed upon them.

PARIS, Sept. 22-The situation here Is
generally admitted to be grave by both
press and people. The conflict between the
civilian and military authorities Is becom-
Ing acute. The sudden and unexpected &C
tion Of General Zurlinden, the military gov
ernor OF Paris, In prosecuting Colonel Pic
quart on the charge of forgery and using
forged documents, assumes grave aspects
on account of circumstances attending this
Intervention of the military authorities in
. civil court.
At the present moment when the political
atmosphere is surcharged with dangerous
electricity. generated by the Dreyfus case,
the general. who has Just quilted the cab
met, In defiance of civil authority, takes,
without consulting his successor or the
Premier. an important step. In ordinary
circumstances. the military governor Is
empowered to act Independently: but. now
that the Dreyfus question has become a
great national matter. every proceeding In
the affair has state importance. General
Zurlinden's ignoring OF this obvious fact
Is very significant. He comes forward as
the defender Of the army, the prosecutor
Of Its supposed calumniators and the res
olute opponent of a revision OF the case.
From this to an appeal to the public in the
line Of an establishment Of a Dictatorship
there is no wide step.
The Soleil says that owing to yesterdays
events the Cabinet at formal conference
discussed General Zurlinden's action, and
the Fronde even asserts that the Premier
NJ. Brisson. disavows the measures taken
against Picquart, which. he says were in
stituted without the knowledge of the Cab
met.
The Radical makes bitter attack on the
general STAFF, which It charges with aiming
at the moral assassination Of Picquart
through secret military trial.
Henri Rochefort. in his paper. the In
transigeant. declares that Picquart was
bribed by a syndicate or by Germany to
save Dreyfus.
Jaures. the Socialist deputy in the Petite
Republique maintains that the general
stan OF the French army cannot now es-
cape the full light of revision Of the Drey-
fus case.
Picuuart was transferred this afternoon
to tine military prison Of Cherche Midi.
The Matin affirms that Il has authentic
Information that the name Of Dreyfus was
never once mentioned in the mass of docu-
men.s brought against him. I. adds that
the only serious document Is the so-ca.led
bordereau. The documents In the case. 1t
appears, consist entirely of fragments of
letters referring TO everything except D:ey-
fus, and the whole matter, the Matin adds
"constitues such fairy tale that no sober
minded person would dream Of accepting
It,"

thority to try them. The cases were tried
according to General Otis orders and the
lin lingS of the court were later reversed
by the Washington authorities. General
Greene says there is no truth in the story
that he had trouble with General Merritt.
On the contrary he says they are the best
or friends. Speaking of the situation at
Marila. Gen. Greene expressed his opinion
that there would be no trouble with
Aguinaldo, but he declined to go into de-
tails. The health conditions at Manila
are improving, but 1t Is extremely difficult
| to prevent disease from spreading among
the American soldiers as the Spaniards
had occupied the buildings and left the
germs of disease behind them.
Volunteer Soldiers
Speaking of the conduct of the soldiers
during the battles, Gen. Greene said that
the volunteers fought and acted like regu-
lars and that he was proud Of them. At
ter the first onslaught the men were as
cool as could be and prepared for any,
thing. The fire of the Americans was par
ticulary deadly at all times. Gen. Greene

From all outward signs the former sub

brilliancy and general lavishpess pro-
misses to surpass anytbiug of the kind

fend off the wrath of providence as in
dicated in the eclipse. aud strie tly for

Chinese New Year is always observed.
But the New Year is to the Celest 81
by far the most important event OF the

that the decree is not appl c.

Temperance in England.

LONDON, January 21.-The British
Women's Temperance Union aud simi-
lar organizations are laying plans for g
temperance crusade to be carried out
this year on q scale OF huge proper
tions. The cause of the unusual scti-
witty is probably to be found in a report
which has just been made public show
ing that the number of distilleries in
the United Kingdom has increased by
something like ten per cent the past
twelve months. The report further
shows that not only have distilleries
inc+ eased but the quantity of spirits
produced has risen TO 81. 900, 900 gal
Ions in 1897. By the same figures it is
shown that there has been q rise Of
$50. 600, 900 in the revenue derived
from the liquor traffic since 1885.

some of the republican house lead ers
are seriously of the opinion that it will
be waste of time to press any financial

the chances now are that the whole
matter will be dropped. This is a
severe disappointment to Secretary
Gage and his friends.
Representative Cannon stirred up q
lively tilt. in the house by declaring
that depositors of gold bullion in the
mint should pay for the transportation
of the bullion. Shafroth, Of Colorado,
led the opposition, claiming the COM
mittee had assumed the duties of an
other committee, and in tampering
with gold transportation they we're
likely to overturn the whole monetary
system, which is based upon gold.
Newlapds, of Virginia, and others
thought it quite proper that owners of
bullion should pay the cost of trans
Dortation.
The house agreed to the senate
amendment masking the government
continue to pay for the transportation
of gold bullion to the mints.
