The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-10-29

PARIS, Oct. 28.-Today's PROCEEDINGS
at the court of cessation was devoid
OF sensation. The only connection
caused ensued upon the reading OF
pathetic letters from Dreyfus. A sig
nificant point was the revelation Of the
fact that Gen. de BOiSdeffre gave or
ders after the Dreyfus case was de-
clared closed for the dossier contain
ing the bordereau to be burned, and
expressed surprise afterwards to find
that his orders had not been executed.
Thus far the war Office has not been
represented in the court proceedings,
and there is still but little hope of the
secret dossier being produced, especial
ly if-as, however, looks somewhat
doubtful-M. Dupuy succeeds in form
ing a cabinet. He was premier during
the Dreyfus trial and his appointment
disgusts the anti-Dreyfusites, who see
in 1t the Indication that President
Faure has a 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 let
ter from the prisoner, in his own hand
writing. Formerly only copies Of his
letters were Transmitted, and the new
departure is regarded as a favorable
sign.

 Rear Admiral Miller will be placed on the retired list on Nov. 9 and the va. cancy thus created in the grade of rear admiral will be filled by the promotion of Commodore H. L.

BLANCO'S ORDER MAY
 HAVE TWO MEANINGS
One Delay to Evacuate, the Other to Make Spanish Desert So They win
 Lose Their Pay.

New York, Nov LA dispatch to The Herald from Washington says:
 Two constructions are put upon the order of General Blanco that the Span- ish troops in Cuba shall not be dis charged, but shall first go to Spain and receive their pay.
 This cancels the previous order of Oct 4, saying that such Spaniards as desired could remain in Cuba. Should the troops choose to remain, this latter or der of Spain would give the Spaniards a pretext for asking longer time for eyacuating Cuba, which may be their desire.
 On the other hand, it is urged by a high war department official, that the cause of this order lies in the inability of Blanco to pay them, and in the hope, therefore, that they would desert and thereby relieve the Spanish government of their obligations The Spanish regu- lar troops in Cuba are now much scat tered, and number about 80,000 In the proviues of Finer del Rio there are in all 10, ,450 men. In the province of Ha. vana there gre l4, 100 men. In the prov inoe of Matanzas there are $500 men. In the province of Santa Clara there are B, 205 men. of whom 12, ,550 men are in tho Spiritu division. In the Trocha Jucaro- Moron rhere arc 6t00 men. Ill the province of Puerto Principe there are 5000 men.
 h the province of Santiago original ly contained Is,a25 in the Manzanillo division, TOO in the Holguin division and l2, 250 in the Santiago division. Out of the total of 42, 425 men in Santiago province abont 24,00o men have been transported to Spain, leaving about IS, 424 now there.
 These are regular Spanish, with whose transportation the commissioners will have to reckon Besides these, there were over S0,000 volunteers and guerril- | las

IMPROVED GUNS
 AND TORPEDO TUBES. The Government Will Equip All Future warships With the Latest and
 Best Improvements.

New York, N ov. IA dispatch to The Herald from Washington says that the latest improvements in the manufac- nre of ordnance may be obtained for fu- ture American men-of-war, orders have been given to Commander E. 0. Pen- dleton, superintendent of the gun fac- tory to proceed to England to inspect the methods pursued there in the con- struction of guns, mounts, torpedo tubes, etc.
 Wire wound guns which have been so successfully developed for the English navy will be carefully examined by the visiting officer, and as underwater dis charge tubes for torpedoes have been adopted for the battleships Maine, Mis- souri and Ohio, he will learn the method of their manufacture at the ordnance works of Armstrong.
 The department has purchased the right to use the method of manufacture of underwater discharge tubes from the Armstrong; and has also bought the right to use the breeeh machinism of guns built by Vicl1ers Sons 6 Maxim.
 The G-inoh rapidfring gun built by the latter firm is one of the Ia test weap- ons of that character constructed, 3 splendid record having been made in firing trials which were held some time ago. In this gun the powder and pro. jectile are separated, while in the 6-inch rapidfring guns of this navy the shell and powder are combined by means of 8 powder case.
 A 6.inch gun on plans somewhat sini- lar to those followed in the construction of the Vickers gun was recently built. The tests of this weapon at the proving grounds have demonstrated it's values and all future 6-inch guns will be con- strueted on the same lines. The new type is 45 calibers i'll length ana weighs eight tons and is designed for muzzle velocity of 5000 feet per second.
 It is the intention of the ordinance bu- reau to equip no moro protected or un- protected cruisers with torpedo tubes, the authorities being pretty well con- vinced there IS no necessity for them. Water discharge tubes will be supplied to armored cruisers and battleships.
 Captain Charles O'Neill's recommen- dation that a uniform caliber of small arms be adopted for the use of the army, navy and marine corps has attracted considerable attention in army and navy circles. It is expected that Secretary Long will indorse a bill providing for cooperation on the part of the army and navy to obtain 6 uniform arm. The cal- iber of the Lee small arms in use in the in the navy is 263 while that of the Krag- Jorgensen rifle is 30 The army is con. vinced that the KragJ Jorgensen rife is the best for it's use while the navy as- serts that the Lee is superior. It is not believed that any great objection would be raised by the navy to increasing the caliber of it's gun to 30 so that cartridges manufactured for the Lee gun could be used for the Krag- J orgensen.
