Paris, Sept. 2.-Nothing can describe
the stupefaction of Paris yesterday
morning. Even the cars diSarma-
ment proposition is forgotten. In fact,
war, not peace is in the air So much
ink has been used, so much passion let
loose over the Dreyfus affair that
even the warmest partisans of each
side seemed about tired of the whole
matter
And just when things reached this
stage a bomShell has burst This is the
arrest of Col. Henry, who acknowl-
edges lie is the author of the letter than
virtually convicted Dreyfus. You will
remember the dramatic scene during
the first lola trial when Henry, with
trembling voice, referred to his years
of service in Algiers which have left
him with an incurable malaral fever
This same man, who seemed the very
personiticatiOn of integrity and who
made such an impression on the public
in court, is now by his own confession
the forger Of a document intended to
convict brother officer. The news
of his arrest only leaked out after
midnight. 1t appears that Col. Pic
quart who has been strong supporter
of Dreyfus'S innocence. has laid before
NJ. Cayaignac, minister of war, evil
dence which the law of professional
secrecy prevented him from making
publicly known.
Cavaignac would seem to be con-
WINGED of the possibility of a judicial
error since his return. He has cues
toned one after another of the officers
whose names have been prominent
during the Dreyfus discussion. Yes
terday morning he summoned Col.
Henry to his office in the war depart.
ment building. Gen. Roger, chief or
the military cabinet, was present at
the interview. Col. Henry was ques-
toned upon the way in which this too
famous letter came into his hands.
Pressed to the wall, he finally made n
complete confession, trying at the
same time to show how necessary 1t
was at that moment TO accumulate
proofs of Dreyfus' guilt.
Nj. Cavaignac is said to be Frustrated
by the discovery. 1t is not astonishing
in view of the attitude NJ. Cayaignac
has taken in the matter of the deciara-
ton he made no longer ago than July
s. when he said he was absolutely con-
WINGED of the guilt of Capt. Dreyfus.
One of the things which led him To
this conviction was the very letter
which Col. Henry now admits he had
forged At any rate, what appears
clear in the whole matter is that the
Dreyfus trial will have to be revised.
Every time that Nine. Dreyfus has
made demand for the reopening OF
the case it has been pointed out to her
that she produced no new evidence.
This confession Of Col. Henry that he
forged one Of the most important dOcu-
ments will surely be found sufficiently
strong to warrant IA retrial for Drey-
fus.
Later - Col. Henry has committed
suicide.
