Divergent Views VIII Cause No Split

Paris, Oct. 29-Whether or not there
be divergent views among the Ameri-
can peace commissioners, they will
stand as unit before the Spaniards.
Whether differences of view may have
existed, or shall In future exist, the
entire commission will array itself
firmly behind and in support of the
prepOnderating opinion therein. This
statement may, at this hour be ac-
ccptcd as quelling any rumor that
resignation might follow any members
variance of opinion from that of his
American colleague.
Each member of the American COM
mission has separately formed his
views regarding the Philippines in his
own terms, and all have been forward
ed to Washington. The transmission
has been sent by mail and cable. This
individual expression of views on the
Philippines has thus been forward
ed in order that President Mckinley
might have the advantage not only of
the conclusions of each commissioner
but the added advantage of each COM
mssioner's diction and personality in
the determination of the ultimate in
structions or advice to the commits

sent an expression of their expecta-
tioDs as to the control, disposition and
government of the Philippines at next

THE DREYFUS REHEARING.


General De Boisdeffre Had Ordered
tho Secret Dossier Burned.
Paris, Oct. 28.-Yesterdays proceed
ings at the court of cessation were de-
void Of sensation. The only emotion
caused ensued upon the reading of pa
thetic letters from Dreyfus.
A significant point was the revela-
tion of the fact that General De Bois-
deffre gave orders, after the Dreyfus
case was supposed closed. for the dos
sier, containing the bordereau, to be
burned. and expressed surprise after
ward to find that his orders had not
been executed.
Thus far the war Office has not been
represented in the present proceedings,
and there is still but little hope Of the
secret dossier being produced, es-
pecially II, as however looks somewhat
doubtful. M. Dupuy succeeds in forming
a cabinet. He was premier during the
Dreyfus trial, and his appointment de-
lights the anti-Dr' yfusites, who see in
it an indication that President Faure
has greater sympathy for the army
than for the discovery of the truth.
1t Is asserted that the father-in-law
Of Dreyfus has received a letter from
the prisoner in his own handwriting.
Formerly only copies of his letters were
transmitted, and the new departure is
regarded as favorable sign.
Judge Day and Senator Gray, of the
peace commission, visited the court of
cessation yesterday. while M. Manau.
the procurator general, was reviewing
the Dreyfus case. To the surprise of Gen.
eral Porter. an order was secured from
the presiding judge to admit the COM
commissioners The fifteen judges con-
stituting the court bowed a dignified
greeting, without verbal welcome. The
visitors were shown to seats on the
bench.

TEE PASH0DA SNARL.
Major Marchand Has Loft Fashoda
For Khartoum.
OFFICIAL POSITION UNALTERED.

1t Is Believed, However, That the
Major VIII Push on to Cairo and
VIII From There Ask Authority to
Withdraw His Force.
London, Oct. 29.-The morning news
paper editorials regard Major March
and's movement from Fashoda to
Khartoum, announcement of which
was made yesterday. as indicative OF
a yielding on the specific question in
controversy, although the position Is
officially unaltered. 1t Is assumed that
he will push on to Cairo In order to
be In direct communication with the
French government and that on reach
ing there he will represent to Paris the
impossibllity of remaining at Fashoda
under existing conditions and will ask
authority to withdraw his entire force.-
The Times says: 1.-The desire ascribed
to Fra ace to raise a general discus
sion ought to be in itself sufficient
answer to the ridiculous rumor cir
culated in Ill informed quarters yester-
day that we intended to play into her
hands by declaring a protectorate over
Egypt. Nothing could be more un-
likely at the present moment
The Daily News takes it for granted
that Major Marchand will come to
Paris.
The first cabinet minister to speak
publicly since the cabinet council on
Thursday Is Lord Balfour Of Bur-
leigh, secretary for Scotland, who, ad-
dressing a meeting last evening at
Galashiels, Scotland, declared that 1t
was the settled policy Of the govern
ment that the valley of the Nile must
be Egyptian territory.
Earl Spencer, first lord of the admir-
atty in Lord Rosebery's government, in
a strong speech last night at Greenock.
indorsed Lord Salisbury's attitude to-
ward the Egyptian question and refer
red with the greatest satisfaction to
"the prospect Of Anglo-Saxon entente"
Baron De Courcel, the French am
bassador, had another long interview
at the foreign office yesterday with
Sir Thomas Sanderson, prominent un-
der secretary of state for foreign af-
fairs, and there is no doubt that Inn
portant matters were under discussion.
The rumor was circulated on the
Paris boulevards yesterday that Major
Marchand would be recalled from
'Fashoda, but on neither side of the
channel-certainly not on this side
Is any serious attention paid to the
rumor that England will declare pro-
tectorate over Egypt.
The Paris correspondent Of The
Standard says:
II have excellent authority for the
assertion that Major Marchand left
Fashoda on his own initiative, but that
he will demand permission to withdraw
the mission, since his men are dying
of hunger and disease"
The special correspondent of The
Daily News at Omdurman telegraphs:
II have reason to believe that Major
Marchand is waiting for instructions
to withdraw the French mission from
FaShOda."

MRS. BOTKIN INDICTED.

VIII BE Tried In California For tho
Murder of Mrs. Dunning.
San Francisco, Oct. 29.-Mrs. Cordelia
Botkin was indicted last evening by
the grand jury of the city and county
of San Francisco for the murder of
Mrs. John P. Dunning. In Dover, Del,
on Aug. IL last. Presiding Judge
Belcher. OF the superior court, to whom

from the bench that according to the
facts and evidence the crime charged
was murder In the first degree. He
therefore instructed the clerk of the
court to indorse the indictment. with
the statement that bail would not be ac-
cepted. The case was then assigned
for trial TO the criminal department of
the court, which is presided over by
Judge Carroll Cook. No time for the
opening of the case was set. The pris-
oner remains in the custody of Chief
of Police Lees.
