Hospital Concert.

Yesterday afternoon brought much
JOY to the inmates of the Queens Hos
pital They thoroughly appreciated
the concert. The verandas were pretty
we'll filled with those that were we'll
enough to appear. The Government
band plays there once a month and
lovers of stringed instruments should
attend the concerts. Too much brass
annoys the patients, hence the light
music. There were fifteen violins in
yesterdays concert. Miss Rose Ber-
liner added much to the concert by her
rendition of My Honolulu Belle, which
is just being introduced here. 1t bids
fair to become as popular as its COM
panion song, My Honolulu Lady. Miss
Berliner has the distinction of being
the first to give these songs to the Ho-
nolulu public.

A Young Assistant.

For short time early yesterday
morning Pearl City was, unquestion-
ably, the most active and lively and
wide awake town on the island. a
mum Der of mounted men were dashing
about and this, with the lights in the
houses at the unseemly hour, gave a
hint that perhaps martial law had been
proclaimed. The occasion of the ex-
element was the arrival of a son and
heir at the home of Mr.. Keppler, the
popular station agent for the Oahu
Railway at Pearl City. Mr.. and Mrs.
j. w. Chapman are among those who
are assisting in restoring Mr.. keppler
to normal condition.

IT WAS A DERv|SH ROUT
Anglo-Egyptian Forces Have Oc-
cupied Omdurman.
AN HOURS HARD FIGHTING
The Khalifa Driven Of After a Deter
mined Attack-A Rumor Current
That Rhartoum Is in the Pos
session Of the English.

Cairo. Sept. 4. ? a. m.-The following
dispatch. dated yesterday saturday
has just been received from Navy:
Early this morning the Dervishes
made a most determined attack upon
the Anglo Egyptian forces, but after
an hours hard fighting We drove them
off. At $50 a. m. a general advance was
ordered on Omdurman and again va
were received with a determined attack
on our right. but the Dervishes were
once more repulsed with heavy loss.
"Th army. under the personal COM
mand Of the khalifa. was totally dis
persed by noon. At O'Clock this after
noon our forces advanced again and oc-
cupied Omdurman. The khalifa fed
during the forenoon and is now being
closely pursued by our cavalry.
The British loss is estimated at about
100; the Egyptian loss is probably 200.
Karl Neufeld was rescued unharmed."
Herr Neufeld. who is referred to in
the foregoing dispatch. fell into the
hands Of the mahdfs followers In the
neighborhood of Dongola in the late
spring or early summer of 1887. The
first report received after his capture
was that the whole party were behead-
ed. A later report represented that
Neufeld had been spared, but placed in
fetters.
Finally a letter was received from
himself, dated Khartoum. where he said
he was being treated in a very friendly
manner by the mahdi He nearly lost
his life when the mahdi was told that
Neufeld was an English or Egyptian
spy sent TO ascertain whether Mudir
Mostapa Pasha was favorable to the
English. The mahdi, highly incenssd.
declared that he regretted not having
hanged Neufeld and had him loaded
with chains and cast into prison, where
he remained four years.
Ultimately a scarcity Of powder arose
in the Soudan and Neufeld's knowledge
of chemistry was brought into requisi-
tion for it's manufacture. 1t appears
that ne collected saltpetre and made the
explosive but the same narratives that
gave this Information described him as
still in fetters and carrying iron rings
upon both feet. His next clever exploit
was subsequent to the death of the
mahdi and under the rule of the khalifa.
| Neufeld decorated the tomb OF the
mahdi. whose dome the British gum
boats have just partially demolished.
and did the work so effectively that, ao-
cording TO Father Rossignoli. who es-
capped from khartoum in 1894. the wild
ows Of the prophet were quite
touched
After that he became a mechanic and.
still according to Father Rossignoli.
tried all sorts of inventions and took
the greatest trouble to construct a ma
chine for making coins"
Meanwhile he appears to have acted
"as editor of the khalifa's proclama-
tions, in addition to writing books and
illustrating them himself. for a limited
circulation among the Dervishes.
At the time of the escape OF Slatin
Pasha it was feared that Neufeld's life
would be again in danger. but this did
not prove to be the case.

HE STEPS DOWN AND OUT
M. Cavaignac Hands His Resig-
nation to NJ. Brisson.
HE TAKES NO BACK WATER
Remains Fully Convinced That Dreysus
Is Guilty and VIII Combat the
Revision of the Case.
Wild Rumors.

Paris. Sept. 3.-M. Cavaignac to-day
sent the following letter of resignation
to NJ. Brisson. premier, and the presi-
dent of the council:
II have the honor to send you and
beg you transmit to the president OF
the republic my resignation as minister
of war. There exists a disagreement
between us which, being prolonged.
would paralyze the government at "A
time when il most needs full unity of
decision.
II remain convinced Of the guilt of
Dreyfus and as determined as hereto
fore to combat a revision of the case.
j do not intend to shirk the RESPONSE
bilities of the present situation, but l
cannot assume them without being in
accord with the chief of the govern
ment to which l have the honor to be-
long"
These are the circumstances which
led NJ. Cavaignac to resign: After the
discovery Of Lieutenant Colonel Hen
rvs forgery, the government sought
means to reassure the public. The
question of revision was broached.
Certain ministers believed the time had
come to throw full light and to estab-
lish every responsibility.
NJ Cavaignac strongly objected. He
declared that he was convinced OF the
guilt of Dreyfus. NJ. Brisson vainly
pointed out to NJ. Cavaignac that the
revision would be purely judicial. Nj.
Cavaignac replied that revision could
only be justified If some new fact de-
veloped to show that there had been
a judicial error and that no such fact
existed, the forgery being subsequent
to the conviction of Dreyfus and only
indirectly connected with 1t.
NJ Bourgeois. called from Switzerland,
made a new effort. but NJ. Cavaignac
still refused. The latter saw NJ. Bris-
son. the premier, and declared that mis-
determination was immovable and that
he would resign. After NJ. Cavaignac's 5
departure a conference was held at tie
ministry Of the interior between NJ. Bris-
son, NJ. Bourgeois and NJ. Sarrien.
About 9 o'clock NJ. Cavaignac's letter of
resignation was received. 1t is assumed
that a majority OF the cabinet accepts
the views of NJ. Brisson as the others
maintain their portfolios. The resigna-
tion of NJ. Cavaignac enables the gov
ernment to decide the matter. and Ii Is
believed NJ. Cavaignac's successor at the
war office will soon be appointed and a
definite resolution taken.

WILD RU M0RS.
The Dreyfus Case Threatens a NationaI
Peril.

Peril.
New York, Sept. "a dispatch TO the
Herald from Paris says:
Among the many wild rumors flying
about is one that seems too incredible
to merit even notice, did II not show
the state Of the public mind This is a
belief that Colonel Henry did not COM
nit suicide
The Figaro says that when the COM
missary of police arrived at Mont Val
erien he asked for Colonel Henry's va
lse and the razor with which he COM
mitted suicide. He was told they had
been sent to the minister of war This
extraordinary proceeding could not fail
to be commented upon here. Naturally
enough, such a detail as the razor hav-
ing been sent to the minister of war
makes the people ask why.
The FuClaire, referring to the matter,
says. This controversy has shown us
To what depth certain individuals can
descend. SO we are not surprised To read
that the suicide of Colonel Henry was,
perhaps, murder"
The turn of the affair here. however.
has been so startling that 1t is not as
tonshing that people are ready to listen
to the most far-fetched ideas. What
the ordinary public see in the matter
is that from a question of treason, the
Dreyfus case has become a national
peril. What wonder, therefore, that
one melodramatic incident more is cred
ulously accepted eagerly and believed.
The man in the street Is in favor Of re-
vision. He sees a thread of connection
running through the affair from the ac-
cusation Of the jew. Dreyfus, being a
traitor and his condemnation TO the for
gerry of documents to prove him guilty
the arrest Of Colonel Henry and the
suppression Of the latter as an incon-
venient witness. This shows you how
passion seems to blind the people here
and even to drive common sense and
probability from their minds the in
stant they begin to consider the Drey-
fus case.
The Petit Republique says that on
the afternoon Of the day upon which
Colonel Henry was arrested he was
visited in his cell by an officer. who re-
mained alone with the prisoner a con-
siderable time. The minister of war
says Colonel Henry was not visited by
anyone.
The Petit Republique. however, re-
fuses to accept the denial. and says
that in 1924 Colonel Patty du Clam en-
tered Dreyfuss cell and offered him a
revolver in order that he might COM
nit suicide Dreyfus refused the re-
volver. proclalming his innocence. The
Petit Republique asks II the officer who
entered Colonel Henry's cell was not
charged with a similar duty. II even
regards the insistence with which the
minister OF war denies that any such
visit was paid TO the prisoner as con-
frming the rumor, or at any rate giving
