dark rumors aioat In view of the
curious manner in which the letter from
Dreyfus declaring that he had aban-
doned all hope was conveyed to Nine.
Dreyfus on Friday, many people be-
lieve he is dead On Friday. it will be
recalled, Nine. Dreyfus applied at the
office of the minister of the colonies for
permission TO send her husband some
warm clothing for his return home. The
request was refused on the ground that
the government would do whatever was
necessary. At the same time the au-
thorities read her a letter from her
husband to the effect that he had for
five months addressed appeals for re-
vision to Gen. Boisdeffre (recently. chief
of staff OF the French army without
getting any reply, and, being weary
and exhausted by his useless appeals,
he would write no more to his family
or to anybody. He described himself
as i'll and dying and bequeathed to tn >
generosity Of my country the care of
rehabilitating my memory"
1t appears Nine. Dreyfus then asked
permission to telegraph her husband
the decision OF the court OF cessation,
This request also was refused. Then,
through a friend, she appealed to
President Faure, but with no better
result.
Careful inquiries made at Colmar this
evening show that nothing is known
there as to the death of Dreyfus. 1t
is now believed the teleglnm was a

SPAIN MAY STAND ASIDE.
Likely to Allow United States and
Creditors to Fight 1t Out.


PARTS. Nov. 13. = Among onlookers
here the impression prevails, though it
is not the result of any official state
ment, that the Spanish peace commits
sicners will not agree to q treaty Of
ponce which the Americans will sign.
1t seems almost possible that, IN
view of the tremendous pressure to
which the Spanish commissioners are
subjected between their large credit
ors, who are on the spot watching
them, and the stern attitude OF the
United States, the Spaniards may
abandon their struggles and leave the
two forces to confront each other. 1t will
rot be decided until tomorrow whether
the next joint session Is to occur to-
morrow or on Tuesday The Span
iards, II has been arranged, will inform
the Americans tomorrow morning
whether they need the day to
prepare their next memorandum. If
they want Monday, the meeting will
take place on Tuesday.
Under the rules Of procedure adopted
by the conference, 1t is thought the de-
Hberations may be Unexpectedly termi-
rnted. The statement was printed here
yesterday evening that the last mem
orandum from the Americans is re-
garded by the Spaniards as q virtual
ultlmatum. But. as a matter of fact,
the Americans have not presented an
ulumatum. 1t is only since Wednes-
day last that the Spaniards have be-
gun 10 feel thnt the Americans purpose
taking over the Philippines, that, too.
without any assumption of Spanish
indebtedness. AS they are now con-
vinced Of this, it may be that Spain's
next presentment IN conference will
be the supreme rally Of diplomatic, ar
gumentative and tactful force 1t may
even mark the conclusion of all she has
to say, but. II the usual procedure is
followed, the Americans will still have
another presentment 10 present Ever
since Oct. ! II has been within the
possibilities that an open rupture might
occur, and on one or two occasions II
might have been easily a fact, even
before the taking up OF the Philip
pine question.
The boun6hries Of the field in which
that question is being worked out are
becoming more apparent, and the an
gle OF final settlement cannot be far
or. IL treaty is to result here, ii
may fairly be expected within three
weeks, although 1t is not true, as re-
ported from the United States today,
that the Americans have instructions
embodying a time limit for the con-
sideration of the negotiations.
Judge Day has completely recovered.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Adjt. Gen
Ccrbin received dispatch today an
nouncing that the Eighth cavalry sail

vannah for Puerto Principe, Cuba The
regiment will be the American garrison
at Puerto Principe and Nuevitas.
In this connection an interesting bit

made by the Spanish authorities to

numbering $500 men, upon the arrival
OF the American garrison. IT was ex-
pected that they would sail next Tues
day or Wednesday, but an unexpected
obstacle has arisen among the men
themselves. They are on the verge Of
mutiny, openly declaring they will not
return to Spain until they have receiv-
ed their pay, now far in arrears for
service In Cuba The mutiny extends
not alone TO the enlisted men, but to
their officers, and is directed against
the executive officers of the Madrid
government on the island. Some of
the men have not been paid for nearly
year, and to all Of them several
months pay is due.
The situation has created no partic-
ular concern in the minds of the Amer
lean authorities, as 1t is not likely
seriously TO affect the control Of that
portion of the island by the American
forces, but II is realized that those
$500 soldiers, If they should persist in
their refusal to return to Spain, might
become dependents whom IL would be
difficult TO care for, and, ultimately,
perhaps, a menace TO good government
on the island
The Spanish authorities express no
fear Of their ability to solve the prob
lem presented, but how they will solve

AMERICANS UNPOPULAR.
Gen. Gomez No Longer willing to
Have Them About Him.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA. Nov. 13.-
Capt. Warren. an American, who has
been with Gen. Maxine Gomez. SAYS
the Cuban leader viii no longer have
Americans about him and is getting rid
OF them as fast as possible. He takes
the same course In the case OF Cubans
suspected Of favoring annexation to
the United States. The result is that
some of the best men who were long
attached to his immediate staff are not
now with him.
1t has been difficult. Capt Warren
believes, TO ger the majority OF the In
surgents TO disband. His idea is that
when the American authorities get
control OF the other portions OF the
island they should give out no rations
and punish severely all thefts OF cattle
and produce.
He thinks. too. that there may be
some trouble with the insurgents be-
cause OF their insisting on the right TO
court-martial delinQuents among them
selves
There Is very little sickness among
the troops here. Everybody IS improv-
ing With the cooler weather.

Weird scheme Proposed for the

morning says: THE acquisition of the
Philippines for twenty-five years by ON
international syndicate, from which
power may eventually acquire them.
is a rumor based on facts, Of which
the Gaulois will tomorrow (Monday)
give details"
Following this lead, the Gaulois and
other Paris papers VIII tomorrow an
nounce the scheme somewhat on these
lines:
A syndicate representing $4O0. .000. 900
capital proposes TO take over the COM
mercial resources and advantages Of
the Philippine Islands for a term OF
twenty-five years. paying to the domS
nant power therein 1926, ,000. 900 for the
privilege. Under the alleged terms Of
this scheme the dominant power would
administer the political and military
government OF the island at its own ex-
pense under the apportionment named.
while the syndicate would collect all
tho customs and revenues for the term
specified. The scheme involves giving
Spain $175 5OOO.O 900 TO satisfy any reru or
imaginary claims she may make as
10 the territory. This feature is said
10 be based on the assumption that the
United States will be the dominant
power. The remaining 500 900 OF
this reputed syndicate would be re-
served as It's working capital.

Young, said TO be son OF Brigham

INDUSTRIAL RELIEF.
Method Suggested Of AIIevIatIng
the General Distress in Cuba.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-In Plymouth
church. Brooklyn. tonight a meeting
was held to consider the present con-
dition of Cuba. Addresses were made
by Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott, Williara
Willard Howard, Rev Herbert NJ Al
len and others. Mr.. Howard described
the condition OF Cuba as he had seen
It, and pointed out that the only rem
edy for the existing misery lay IN CIV
ing employment to the poor. He in
troduced industrial relief among the
Armenians In Turkey during his two
years work as a relief commissioner
among the Armenians.
Mr.. Allen, who was Mr.. Howard's
associate in Armenian relief work de-
scribed the industrial relief operations
in Turkey UP to the present time.
Resolutions were adopted indorsing
a plan for Cuban industrial relief as a
practical and effective means Of help
ing the Cuban poor to help themselves
by providing for them honest employ
ment, instead OF indiscriminate gifts
and temporary relief Continuing, the
resolutions recommend: That an un-
denominational committee be formed
TO procure funds with which to carry
this plan Into effect, and we appeal to
all lovers of humanity throughout the
United States to join with us in giving
to this practical charity earnest en-
coura cement and financial support. to
the end that Americas great service to
mankind, begun by carrying TO a vic
torious conclusion an unselfish war for
humanity, may be finished by a serv-
ice TO the poor and helpless which shall
in its effect to prevent the pauperizing

NEW TARIFF NEEDED.
Senator Hanna Admits That the
DingIey Bill Is "a Failure.


CLEVELAND, o., Nov. 13.-In an
interview tonight Senator Hanna said
the tariff would have to be revised to
meet existing conditions. THE war rev.
enue measure he said. must be re-
vised. but we viii keep many of the
original features of the law, simply
because it is now necessary. Under
the old tariff we are not getting very
much revenue, because we are export
ing instead of importing, and some
thing must be done 10 meet these new
conditions. We must have a new rev.
enue measure. SO far as 1 am con-
cerned. favor putting a duty on tea
and coffee. The revenues for the sup
port of the government must be raised
in some way. and the indirect is the
best way, according to my Idea. When
the people do not realize that they are
paying a tax, there is no complaint.
Still it VIII be necessary to retain
some of the features OF the whr reve-
nue. measure. The tax is now on the
people, and in some instances 1t is the
proper method OF taxation"
