THE WAR EXCITEMENT.
Feverish Anxiety shown Yesterday to
Henr the Lntest News.

No day since the scare set in was the
war fever here higher than ii was yes
| terday.
The dispatches of the afternoon be-
| tok6ning that the tocsin might be
sounded at any moment made war the
only subject of conversation every
| where.
The excitement was of The suppressed
order. There was no apparent inter-
| ference with the ordinary run of busi-
ness affairs, no crowds on the corners
| talking excitedly or any great massing
about the bulletin boards, but the anx-
iety with which every fresh piece Of
| news was grasped and discussed and
the quickness with which it spread
| broadcast showed conclusively that
| there was little else in the public mind.
Heretofore the populace was quite
satisfied to wait for the regular edi-
| tions of their papers at home to learn
| the situation. Yesterday the tension
was too great to admit Of these Every
! body wanted every piece of news that
was going and they wanted 1t as soon
as it came from the wire. In conse-
quence the extra editions of the after
noon papers had a largely Increased
sale and the bulletin boards had con-
stant stream of viewers.
The Tribune's bulletin board was the
most popular point for seeker after
| "the latest" There was never time
| during the afternoon but what there
was q dozen or so reading the dis
patches displayed thereon. The gen.
| eral rule was that as soon as the anx-
| ious one had filled himself full of the
| contents of the board he would scurry
| off to the office or shop or patch"
| whence he came, to scatter the anxious
| ly-awaited news.
The very conservative and carefully
edited bulletins that were displayed,
| had everything to 40 with the fact
that the excitement was not of more
| demonstratiVe character. The sensa-
tion monger could have created no end
of alarm, but luckily this town was
devoid of him yesterday.
1t was not so with other cities. the
night dispatches go to show. Leban-
on sent out report that the Third
brigade commander had notified his
stat to be in residence. AS elsewhere
| stated the report was n fake, pure
| and simple.
| There was, however, desire for
something sensational, it would seem.
Not satisfied with the conservative re-
ports of the Associated Press and the
| utter failure of the local papers to
concoct a local scare the rumor fiend
| got a large number of betweens of a
story to the effect that about all the
carpenters in the town were packing
up their tools and heading for the
League Island navy yard in response
to big inducements offered by a gov
ernment agent.

found Malarkey operating as related on
a sink pipe. He was taken to the police
station and later confessed to being
the person wanted for the saloon jobs.
IN a Penn avenue junk shop Detective
Moir and Lieutenant of Police Davis

Malarkey, one of which fitted the
plumbing in Kerls saloon.

Colonel Henry's Confession
That He Forged the
Proofs" in the Cele-
brated Case.
WILL REOPEN THE zOLA TRIAL
Paris Paralyzed By the Latest
Revelation of Infamy in
Army Circles.
[By Gable to The Associated Press

by Gable to The Associated Press
PARIS. Aug. 81, 1S9S.-The arrest Of
Lieutenant Colonel Henry, on the discov-
cry that he is the author of an impor-
tant letter which figured in the Dreyfus
case, is one of the most sensational de-
velopments in the whole of this extraor-
dinary affair. Colonel Henry has been,
throughout, the fighting champion of the
army against Colonel Piequart. with
whom he fought duel. This new de-
velopment evidently entirely alters the
aspect of both the Dreyfus and the Zola
cases and practically nulIifies the evil
dence of Generals Pellieux and Boisdeffre
and the declarations of the Minister for
War, NJ. Cavaignac, in the Chamber of
Deputies. In fact, some people believe
that perhaps the real turning point in the
Dreyfus case has been reached and that
the arrest of Colonel Henry will lead to
a revision of the trial of the prisoner of
Devils Island.
1t appears that so soon as NJ. Caviagnao
assumed the Office of Minister for War,
he charged the official bureau to make
a thorough research of the Dreyfus cases
and it was this inquiry which resulted
in the discovery Of documents lately read
in the Chamber of Deputies, by NJ Ca
vaignac, showing that proof Of the guilt
of Dreyfus was forged. When Colonel
Henry was summoned to the Ministry
1OA w d4 etnd was QQ0SllOU6Q Dy M. Id
vaignac, in the presence of General Bois-
deffre and others. he at first affirmed the
authenticity of the discriminating docu-
ment. But when discrepancies were
pointed out he at first admitted adding
81 tences and finally confessed to fabri-
eating the whole letter. 1t is affirmed.
however, that this discovery has not
changed M Cavaignac's belief in the
culpabiifty of Dreyfus; but the Minister
is determined to punish all the guilty par
ties, no matter what their rank or posi-
tion may be.
Colonel Henry is to be tried by court
martial
Colonel Henry confesses to having COM
mitted forgery, lowing to the absolute
necessity for finding proofs against Drey-
fus,' and it is understood that the docu-
ment in question is the letter which has
hitherto been alleged to have been written
by the German Military Attache to the
Italian Military Attache in October 1895.
Finally, it is said that when the in
terpellation in the Dreyfus case was COM
ing up in the Chamber of Deputies this
letter was secretly communicate ted to the
court martial and was the chief evidence
upon which Dreyfus was convicted.
The anti-Dreyfus papers are dumb
founded at the arrest of the Colonel,
while, on the other hand, the papers
sition to reopen the sDreyfus case are
jubilant. They now demand the i1nme-
diate release. of Colonel Pie9uart, who is
imprisoned on charges connected indirect
" with the Dreyfus affair, and they
also insist upon revision of the Drey-
fus trial.
When Count Esterhazy was informed Of
admission. he exclaimed:-"This is too
