Rapidly as Possible.
HUR2YING AWAY THE SICK MEN.

They Are Being Transferred to Hos
pitals in New York and Elsewhere.
Michigan Troops Leave For Home
Preparatory to Being Mustered Out.
New York. Sept. 1.-There IL no
change In the program of the govern
ment as to getting all of the voIun-
teers out of Camp Wikoff just as fast
as they can be sent away Some time
today the Thirty-thIrd Michigan will
depart for home. The regiment will
muster about 725 men when they leave
camp, and the sick will be sent away
as fast as possible afterward. 1t is pos-
sible that hospital train of sick Mich
igan troops may leave the camp about
Saturday The Thirty-fourth Michi-
gan will leave on Friday. This will
bring the list of volunteers here down
considerably. Those of the Michigan
regiments too sick to go with their
comrades on either the troop trains or
on the hospital trains. will be furlough-
ed home just as rapidly as their con-
dition will permit. Both regiments will
be mustered out 60 days hence.
The general hospital is getting small
Ter rapidly now. and despite the fact
that there are new arrivals every hour
the number is decreasing. Three hun
dred sick were taken out of the hos
pitfalls yesterday and transferred to the
Shinnecock, which is now division,
hospital under command of Surgeon
Major Borden. The Shinnecock sailed
for New York. where the sick were to-
day transferred to hospitals. The Red
Cross yacht Red Cross took Is more
away to New London, Conn.
One hundred and twenty-five of the
members of the First Illinois regiment,
who are sick and recently landed from
the Catania, are in the detention camp.
Most of these men are convalescent.
Twenty-Five Illinois men who landed
from the transport Berlin and were
also placed in the detention camp and
are doing well.
AS one explanation of the many
deaths on the Allegheny 1t is said that
the Ninth Massachusetts regiment
took along more Of its sick than any
other, and that men who really ought
to have been left behind were taken on
the ship, as they and their comrades
preferred they should risk the voyage
horoc than to remain for what seems to
have been considered certain death in
the hospitals about Santiago. Some of
the men who were taken on board are
said to have been SO sick that 1t was
never expected that they would live
until the end of the voyage.
The Allegheny was cattle transport,
totally untitled for the work cut out for
her. Her ccndition-must have been bad
before the troops were put on her. and
according TO DIR. Magruder they were
frightful before. she arrived here. Il

Henry, who was arrested on Tuesday
for forging letter In the Dreyfus case.
committed suicide at his home .yester-
day. whence he had been taken by an
officer to secure change of clothing.
The officer accompanying him was
under orders not TO lose sight Of him
for moment, and therefore he could
not see his wife alone. All three pro-
ceeded to his bedroom to get the neces-
sary clothing. Henry then clasped his
wife in his arms and exclaimed: my
conscience is pure and free from every
sting This exclamation IL much COM
mented upon. as going to show that he
may possibly have forged the letter
under orders from his superiors.
Then reaching into his valise osten-
sibly to remove the needed clothing,
the disgraced officer suddenly seized a
razor from the valise and drew the
blade across his throat before he could
be prevented. His throat was cut from
ear to ear. and he died in few min
utes.

New York, Sept. 1.-Two carloads of
sick soldiers of the Ninth New York
volunteers arrived yesterday from
Camp Thomas. Chickamauga The men
were convalescent from rheumatism,
malaria and typhoid fever and were in
fairly good condition. Orderly Robert
Stanley, in whose charge the men were,
was especially bitter against some of
the surgeons at Chickamauga. He said
that they did not show any respect for
the dead. The orderly declared that
when Private Charles Num- died be-
tween and o'clock last Saturday
evening, his body was not permitted to
rest in quiet. He declared that before
10 p. m. the surgeons were at work cut
ting up his body to perform an autopsy.
The orderly also cited the case of
Private Graham. and declared that an
autopsy was being made ON his body
an hour after his demise.

eide. Lieutenant Colonel Henry was
pressed with questions. and finally con-
fessed that he was the author Of a let
ter which was one of three connected
with the conviction of Dreyfus. The
scene of his avowal was most painful
When he saw it was 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
apopleptic stroke.
During the recent Zola trial Henry
accused Colonel Picquart of falsifying
telegrams. A duel followed, in which
Henry was wounded.
The next scene occurred in the cham
ber of deputies, where Colonel Picquart
proclaimed the letter forgery and, as
result, was arrested, while Henry's
vllainy was rewarded by his being ap-
pointed Colonel Picquart's successor 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 Count EsterhaZy and
to get revision of the Dreyfus case.
The letter was written in bad French,
fact which first led 1t to be regarded
as spurious.
General lie Mouton de Boisdeffre
chief of the general staff of the French
army. has rendered his resignation to
the government. General De Boisdef-
fire.. in his letter of resignation. eX-
plains that he resigns owing to his mis-
placed confidence in Lieutenant Colo
mel Henry, which led him to present as
genuine what was forged evidence. M.
Cavaignac, the minister of war, in re-
ply asked General De Bosdeffre to re-
main to "see Justice rendered In the
matter" General De Boisdeffre thank
ed M. Cavaignac for proofs of his es-
TEEN, but persisted In his resignation.
He will be replaced by General Rem
Guard, director of the military college.
Henry's confession threatens to re-
kindle the Dreyfus agitation more
heatedly than ever, and seems likely to
shake public confidence in the army.
Even The Liberte, strong anti-Drey-
fus organ, says: ut must cause the
deepest pain to all honorable men that
officers of such standing show such a
lack of moral sense"
1t Is reported that at yesterdays
cabinet meeting the ministers admitted
that a revision of the Dreyfus trial was
absolutely unavoidable, and public
announcement that the ministry had
decided to initiate such a revision Is
expected soon.
The Temps asserts that the dsclos-
ures made to the ministers have de-
cided the minister of war to place Ma
1or Count Esterhazy on the retired list.

but his country's call summoned En-.
sign Powelson to the front.
After the blowing up of the Maine in
Havana harbor he was detailed to sur
vey the wreck, and was the first to dis
cover that the Maine's plates wer6
blown inward. and that her magazines
had not exploded. His most important
discovery. however, was that one Of this
keel plates of the ship had blown up
ward with such force that 1t rested on
the deck Of the submerged wreck.
During the naval operations In Cuban
waters Ensign iPowelson was for
time attached to the Fern. and was
half a dozen times under fire. He was
