WASSERMAN, DAVIS & co.
FOUR SECRET DOCUMENTS.
WERE SUBMITTED TO THE
DREYFUS COURT-MARTIAL
Colonel Picquart's Written State
ment to the Minister of
Justice.

PARIS. Sept 1S.-"Le Soir" says
General Chanoine, the newly appointed
War Minister, told friends that he re-
garded himself as a sentinel, relieving
another charged with watching over the
army's rights, and intimated that he
was appointed by the Cabinet and he
was not responsible in the decisions of
the Council.
He declared that should he see any
attempt or preteXt of a revision of the
Dreyfus proceedings, to engage in man
euvers against the army, he would i'm
mediately resign.
At the opening of the council, M.
Sarrien, Minister of Justice, stated his
views of the case at considerable length,
expressing his conviction that revis-
ion was necessary for the peace of the
country and expedient on the ground
that many of the documents in the
Dossier appeared to be of doubtful
authenticity and, above all. that Colonel
Henry's admission of forgery threw
suspicion upon all his evidence.
NJ Sarrien, however, did not ask the
council to decide for or against revfs-
ion, but only asked permission to sub
nit the matter to a commission.
M. fduEG OpGHcu Tic oiSCdo-olOi. L1C
did not openly oppose a revision, but
pointed out political and other objec-
tions to the reopening, of the case.
1t is said that M. Brfsson went so far
as to remind M. Faure of the constitu
tional limits to his functions
Finally a division occurred in which
NJ Faure did not take part. The de-
cision of the committee appointed to
consider the matter of the revision Will
he in no way binding upon the Cabinet,
which still will have to decide the act
ua question of revision. 1t is report
ed. however, that a vessel has already
started for the Isle Du Diablo in read
mess to bring Dreyfus to Paris and
M. Brisson and General Chanoine are
determined that nobody, however high
his position, will be sheltered. Stirring
events are predicted. General Zurlin-
den is credited with the belief that
there is a Picquart mystery and it is
believed that he fully intended Picquart
should be prosecuted. According to
Colonel Picquart's written statement
to the Minister Of Justice, four secret
documents were submitted to the court
martial held in 1894 behind the backs
of Dreyfus and his counsel.

BOARD OF SURVEY.
It Fixes the Responsibility of the
Outrages on the Thomas Family.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1S. = The
Board of Survey appointed to discover
the Tennessee Volunteers responsible
for the outrage on the Thomas family
has made it's report to General Miller
The board reports that it has been
unable to discover the names of any
of the participants in the riot. except
those of the four Tennesseeans who
have been tried already by court mar
tial-Anderson, Davis, Clark and
Scruggs. In the report the board states
its belief that members of the Kan
sas, New York nd Iowa regiments and
the California Heavy Artillery were a
part Of the mob, but that the greater
part of it was from Tennessee. There
is no evidence to show that injury to
the property Of the Thomases was
caused by other than Tennesseeans,
and it is the belief Of the board that

mands that joined themselves to the

ESCAPED FROM SAN QUENTIN.
A Trusty Scaled the East Wall of
the Prison.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1S.-Alton
H. Gould, convict trusty in the office
of Captain of the Yard Edgar at San
Quentin, escaped this evening about
1:30 o'clock by scaling the east wall
of the prison. A detail of over seventy
five heavily armed guards is stationed
through the county from San Quentin
to Ross Valley, and every avenue of
escape is believed to be cut off.
Gould was brought to San Quentin on
October Is, 1893, to serve a fifteen-year
sentence for burglary committed in
Santa Cruz County. After working in
the road gang he was assigned to duty
as a clerk in Captain Edgar's office,
and had won the confidence of most Of
the prison officials. A piece of baling
rope swinging from the wall showed
the manner of his escape.

HAVANA, Sept. S.-(Evening)-Ru-
mors that have been put in circulation
to the effect that General Wade, Pres
ldent Of the Evacuation Commission, is
i'll with yellow fever, is denied. He is
looking the picture of health. This
afternoon there We're sent on board the
Resolute sealed documents supposed to
contain statement of the results OF
last nights conference. 1t is under
stood that it is proposed to start the
evacuation from east to west, embark
ing the troops at the ports of Gibara,
Nuevatas, -Cienfuegos and Havana.
The Official statement of the number
of Spanish soldiers in the island is said
to place the aggregate at a hundred
thousand and it is understood that it
is proposed that the men carry with
them their arms, ammunition, material
and equipments.
It is estimated that the end of Feb
ruary will have come before the evac-
uaton of the island is completed, as
the soldiers must embark in Spanish
vessels. 1t is suggested that this will
be an advantage to both countries the
United States having an opportunity to
acclimatize it's men during the winter
months and it is proposed that the
American Government shall land troops
to occupy each port simultaneously with
its evacuation, not leaving any position
unguarded at any time. At the Tacon
Theater last night there was produced
play based upon the Dreyfus trial in
which Dreyfus was portrayed through
out as an innocent victim of conspiracy
in the French army From the start
the sympathy of the audience for Drey-
fus was manifested. Four Frenchmen,
one of whom is supposed to have been
an officer of the French gunboat Full
ton, now lying in the harbor, occupied
a box in the first tier. All of them car
ried boatswains whistles and at every
insinuation against the honesty of the
trial they began to blow their whistles
and hiss the players. A scene of in
describabIe tumult followed, the entire
audience rising in defense of Dreyfus.
The Frenchmen were fOr-ibly elected
and the performance was continued
without further interruption. One of
the Frenchmen. who was thought to be
an officer of the Fulton, refused to give
his name at the station house to which
the party was taken after being eject
ed, and was locked up over night.
General Blanco has prohibited the fu
ture production of the play in Havana.
This afternoon a secret meeting of
the officers of the Spanish warships
now in port was held at the AdmiraPs
palace
The object of the meeting is supposed
to have been the consideration of the
question of returning to Spain-which
vessels and what portion o5 the arma-
ment should be taken and which left.

A FALSE REPORT.
No Attack Made on the North Car
olina Regiment.

CAMP POLAND, KNOXVILLE
(Tenn.), Sept 1S.-A sensational report
was circulated last night and this
morning charging the First Georgia
Regiment with having made an attack
upon the North Carolina regiment
An investigation to-day resulted in the
finding that no attack was made, and
no one was killed or injured, as re-
ported.
The foundation for the report was
the fact that several drunken soldiers
who chanced to pass near the North
Carolina camp yesterday fired their
pistols, and the negroes believed this
to be a challenge for a fight. The Off
GERS gave the report no credence, how
ever, and succeeded in Quieting the
colored soldiers suspicious and fears
by assuring them protection in the
event of any trouble No attack has
been made by either the Georgia or
any other regiment, and all fear of
such an attack is rediculed by the Off
GERS of all the commands.

However, l will not spend time nor burden

order that the fans may not form a wrong

In conclusion would say that I will stick
to my original proposition, that is. l will
meet a representative of the Athletic cub
tonight at Newspaper Row and deposit $40
a forfeit for game for $25 a side. This
is no bluff, nor have I ever been guilty of
making a bluff of this kind. The fans well

they were Johnny -the-spot in carrying
out their part of the agreement. and they do
