FRANCES GHOST YET WALKS
The Dreyfus Case Leads to an
Officers Suicide.
AN AWFUL WRONG DISCOVERED
c. .onel Henry, After Confessing That
He Forged Letter Usei to Prove
the Guilt OF the Prisoner on Devils
Island, Cut His Throat.

PARIS, Sept. 2.-Lieutenant Colonel
Henry, who confessed Tuesday that
he forged an important letter which
figured in the conviction of Dreyfus,
committed suicide in prison last night,
cutting his throat with a razor which
he had concealed in his valise.
AS result of the confession made
by Henry, General LIE Mouten De Bois-
deffre, chief of the general staff of the
French army, has rendered his resig-
nation to the government.
1t is reported that at yesterdays
meeting the ministers admitted that a
revision of the Dreyfus trial was abso-
lutely unavoidable, and public an
nouncement that the ministry has de-
cided to initiate such a revision is ex-
pected sooa.
The Temps asserts that the dis
closures made to the ministers have
decided the minister of war to place
Major Count Esterhazy on the retired
list.
Colonel Henry was attached to the
war department when Dreyfus was
convicted, and he was one of the prom
inent witnesses who testified unfavOr-
ably to NJ. Zola during the latters
sensational trial on the charge Of libel
ing military officials.
During the Zola trial Henry accused
Colonel Picquart of falsifying tele-
grams A duel followed, in which
Henry was wounded.
The next scene occurred in the cham
ber of deputies, where Colonel Pic
quart proclaimed the letter forgery.
and, as result, was arrested, while
Henry's villainy was rewarded by his
being appointed Colonel Picquart's sue
cessor in the intelligence department.
1t is now evident that Henry forged
the letter with the express object of
paralyzing Colonel Picquart's efforts
to expose Major Esterhazy and to get
a revision of the Dreyfus case. The
letter was written in bad French,
fact which first led it to be regarded
as spurious.
1t is said that. if the cabinet decided
upon the revision of the Dreyfus case,
M. Cavaignac, minister of war, will
resign.
The scene of Lieutenant Colonel
Henry's avowal was most painful.
When he saw it was almost useless to
deny further, his tongue grew too thick
for his mouth, and he was unable to
speak. 1t was feared that he would
have an apoplectic stroke. After his
arrest he was permitted to visit his
wife. Henry clasped his wife in his
arms and exclaimed: MY conscience
is pure and free from every sting
This exclamation is much comment
ed upon, as going to show that he may
possibly have forged the letter under
orders from his superiors.

SMALL SHIPS IN BAD SHAPE,
The Strain of Heavy Guns Too Much for
Most of the Mosquito Fleet.

Most of the Mosquito Fleet.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-It is learned
from trustworthy source that num-
ber of warships now at anchor in
Hampton Roads will become the OBJ
jects of unfavorable reports by the
board of survey, which began it's work
of inspection last week. The condi-
tion of not few of the best known
vessels of the mosquito fleet is said to
be such as to render them useless for
the purpose of either peace or war
until extensive and costly repairs have
been made
In more than one-half of the vessels
already examined it is said the ma
chinery has been found by the in
specting board to be so badly damaged
that new engines and boilers will have
to be supplied before they will be in
proper condition for the pursuits in
(which they were formerly engaged
while in merchant service. Others, it
is said, have sustained serious injuries
to their decks and hulls, not being
strong enough to stand the strain
CduSCU ny uuC uiSCAd1kS VI LIlc 5 uHo
with which they are equipped. In
addition to this the little war ships
were severely injured by the rough
usage incident to blockade duty, in
which many of them figured before
Havana and other points on the Cuban
coast.
AS the men from whom these now
disabled vessels were bought will
hardly be willing to take them, it is
likely that some bargains in vessels
will be offered at an early date. Some
of the vessels went through without
damage and will probably be bought
back by their original owners in the
event the government is desirous Of
disposing of them, but, of course, at
price far below that at which they
were sold.

GENERAL BOYNTON'S REPORT.
Finds the Camp Thomas Hospitals In Ex-
cellene Condition.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. - Secretary
Alger has received the report of Gen
eral Fl. " Boynton, upon the state of
affairs in the hospitals at Camp
Thomas The report is dated Au-
gust 20.
He says that he visited all the hos
pitfalls in the camp, without giving
notice of his purpose. Says General
Boynton: believing the death
list of this camp to afford an excellent
standard by which to measure it's con-
ditions as to health and hos
pital service. a full report
was obtained Of all the deaths in
the camp and it's hospital since it's
establishment the middle of April last.
The result shows total death list of
1eS up to the 22d of this month, when
the breaking up of this camp began.
Between these dates, including reg
ulars and volunteers, fully $4,000
troops have been in camp in the Chick
amauga park. The record of burials
in the National cemetery at Chatta-
nooga shows total of 100 volunteers
and two regular soldiers OF these
latter one was killed by falling from a
railway train"
The report takes up in detail all the
hospitals. They are all declared to be
in excellent condition. with an abund-
ance of ice, milk and all the delicacies
that are needed in such institutions.
Leaving the details about the hos
pitfalls, the report proceeds to treat the
whole subject generally, as follows:
In two of the hospitals opportuni-
ties occurred for discovery of what
undoubtedly originated many of the
sensational stories which have been
printed over the country to the effect
that patients in the hospitals lacked
sufficient food, and many cases had
been on the verge of starvation. In the
wards where the convalescent typhoid
patients were found many of the men
were constantly asking for food, and,
as a matter of course, were constantly
denied everything except the lighter
forms of food, which can alone be
safely administered to recovering
typhoid patients. This refusal offood
throughout the hospitals, by which
care alone, as is perfectly understood,
can the lives of typhoid convalescents
be saved, has been distorted into the
report which has spread throughout
the country that patients were being
starved in the government hospitals.

TO PROVE AN EXPRESS TRUST.
The Illinois Manufacturers Association
NAV Sue COMPANIES in the State.

The Illinois Manufacturers Association
May Sue Companies in the State.
CHICAGO, Sept. 2.-The Illinois Man
ufacturers' association is said by its
secretary, M. J. Glenn. to be collecting
evidence against several of the leading
express companies with the view to
establishing that these carriers are
acting as trust in violation of the
act to protect trade and commerce
against unlawful restraints and mo-
nopolies. The testimony is to be laid
before the United States district at
torney.
According to Secretary Glenn the ex.
press companies have declined to enter
into competition to carry express mat
ter over certain lines of railway, and
because the privilege was not given to
one company upon it's own terms, the
other companies have attempted to
prevent and make it impossible for any
express matter to be carried over
these lines and have obstructed the
carriage from points beyond points
on lines operated by the express
companies. The railroad companies
which have had this experience
with the express companies are
the Winona & Western, the Ann Arbor
railroad and steamship lines and the
Southern Indiana. 1t is alleged that
in furtherance of their plans to stihe
competition the express companies
have consolidated their offices and
agencies at what are designated COM
mon points and divide the earnings
among themselves, giving the public
no opportunity to patronize any COM
pany except the one they designate.

SEND THEM TO SMALL. CAMPS.
The Regulars May Be Distributed at Posts
Along the Atlantic Coast.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. - Adjutant
General Corbin says there is a strong
probability that the troops compris-
ing the regular army will be or
dered back to the government
military reservations at an early
day. It is not proposed to send the
regulars back to the interior reserva-
tions during the prevailing warm
weather, but it is intended to send
them to stations on the coast where
they will have the comforts of regu-
lar army garrison and at the same
time have the benefit of invigorating
sea air.
The regular troops who have seen
active service at Santiago and Porto
Rico will be considered first in this
connection, and it is probable that the
forts and garrisons in the vicinity of
New York will be utilized
