Zola's acquittal means the overthrow
OF the cabinet possibly even of the re-
public. Under the circumstances both
the government and, more especially,
the war department. may be consi 5ered
TO be at bay, and in most desperate
straits. and there is no doubt that, this
being the case, the same hands that
fabricated the evidence, documentary
and otherwise, on whicn Dreyfus was
convicted, are perfectly capable of try
ing to save the heads Of the war de-
partment, possibly the entire admin
istratoion, by fabricatinS evidence Just
as fictitious as that on which the
friends CT Dreybus declare that he
was condemned.
Desperate men viii proceed TO any
extremity. especially when they can
stifie the qualms OF their conscience
by assuring themselves that they are
patriotically acting for the benefit of
their country, on the pTetenSa that il
is better that one man should suffer.
even if innocent, than that the safety
of their nation should be imperiled.
That such documentary evidence can
be fabricated. there is not Il doubt. IL
il is not fabricated. and has really been
kept until now from the public? In
deed, could it be proved that il is au-
thentic. then the heads of the army
would deserve disgrace, if nothing
worse. for having waited to produce
it until the entire French army had
been covered with mud and slime.

Col. Piquart has practically proved
that the evidence on which Dreyfus
was convicted was illegal. For, calling
attention to the fact that the charge
against Dreyfus was to the effect that
he had written the famous bordereau,
or list of documents, Col. Piquart
showed that there were several docu-
ments mentioned therein which were
not in existence until April. To this
Gen. Gonse replied that the bordereau
was not seized until the following Au-
gust, whereas Col. Piquart insisted that
il had been in the possession of the
war department officials. including
himself, in April. Indeed, up to that
moment everything was in favor Of
Dreyfus's innocence, the unsatisfactory
character of the evidence of Gen. Gonsc
and of Gen. Pellieux, as well as the
discrepancy and contradictions of their
testimony, being calculated to convey
the impression to everybody that they
were fighting forlorn hope.

CAPITOL GOSSIP.

While Senator Vest was in Florida re-
Gently with the Commerce Committee OF
the Senate he met an acquaintance in
one of the hotels.
How is my old friend, Senator Stew
art?' asked his acquaintance.
'Why the old Tarpon is all right and
as full of fight as ever replied Senator
Vest.
Those who know anything of the tar
pom will appreciate the nickname the
Missouri Senator gave his colleague, and
1t promises to stick 10 him, for the inti-
mate friends of the silver champion are
now calling him the Tarpon.
The attitude of Secretary Long in the
Maine matter recalls a criticism that
Speaker Reed once made of him. 1t was
in the Forty-ninth Congress, when Mr..
Long represented one of the Massachus-
etts districts Some measure of Importance
was up. and not more than q dozen mem
bers were paying attention to what was
going on. Mr.. Long and Judge Springer
were wrangling over something in the
bill under consideration and MIR. Reed,
who sat back in the House, had been per-
using his mail obIivious of what was
transpiring. Looking up he saw Mr..
Long on the floor and calling to one of
his colleagues he asked what was going
on.
Long and Springer are quarrelling,"
came the reply.
"Quarreling?" retorted Mr.. Reed with
his inimitable drawl, Long quarrelIing?
Long is not quarreling, Long is compro-
missing.
That criticism Of Secretary Long made
by the Speaker of the House many years
ago is applicable today. Secretary Long
has no intention of getting UP quarrel
with the Spaniards; he would much
rather compromise any case the Ameri-
can Government might have.

ECHOES FROM ABROAD.

1t is said that from the very outset
/ of the Dreyfus controversy President
Faure has personally been in favor of
facing the music. and in this he is
known to have been supported by the
strongest and most capable member OF
the administration. namely. Foreign
Minister NJ. Hanotaux, that is to say.
the minister would be most concerned
II there were any truth in the state
ment Of his colleagues, the premier and
the minister of war, to the effect that
the relations of France with foreign
power would be endangered by the rev.
elation of the secret evidence on which
DTeyfuS was convicted to the extent Of
bringing about war. 1t is believed
that the President has urged the minis
ter Of war, Gen. Billot, 10 disclose every
thing. and to withhold no information
tending 70 clear up the controversy out
Of any considerat ton for the foreign re-
lations of france. The events in court
during the Zola trial go to confirm the
truth of this story.
The times., 1898-02-20

The feeling among the more thought
full public is that the evidence re-
ferred to by Gen. Pellieux is OF ficti-
ticus character, fabricated as desper-
ate means of defense. Gen. PellieuX is
believed to be innocent of any dishon-
esty in the matter. but the same can
not be said of Gen. de BOisdefra, who
is held by many to be, of all French
officers, the NEST seriously comprO-
missed in the entire affair
Meanwhile, the fact that France is
lowering on the edge of volcano
that is to say. of a revolution-is shown
by the significant action on the part
of the great Hebrew bankers and finan-
ciers tranfeTrirg their resources 10
England in such vast quantities dur
ing the last foEty-eisht hours as to
have seriously affected the price of the
funds in the British metropolis. There
are no .shrewder cr more wide-awake
observers of the signs of the times
than the great Jewish financiers. and
when they take the precaution of send
ing their vaIuabies out Of the country
and over to England for safekeepins.
you may be sure that there is very
serious trouble at hand.

That he should contemplate this visit

PORTO RICO TROOPS.
General Miles Cables That No More Are
Needed For His Rein
fnrcement

washington, Aug. 10.-The feature Of
yesterdays news Of the war depart
meut was the cable from General Miles
stating that he did not need reinforce
ment and advising that no more troops
be sent to Porto Rico. The effect of this
dispatch was to stop the embarkatiun
pf troops at Newport News and to stop
General Wades corps from sailing The
disposition of troops which are not now
needed for active service was consid-
cred at once by the department officials
and the determination was reached that
there would be a general movement
from the larger camps. Some of these
troops Will be sent north where they
win be in a cooler climate and stationed
at camps which are under considera-
tion, but which have not yet been def
nitely selected.
Investigation of a number of places
are in progress with a special reference
to the health Of the camp and water
supply 1t is believed by the authorities
that good water viii go a long way
toward maintaining the healthfulness
Of the troops Some regiments win be
removed at once, and those which can
not be moved probably will be ordered
to proceed upon practice marches the
object being to scatter the troops as
much as possible and to receive the
several camps from the effect of con-
centration.
The belief is now general among the
officials of the war department that
concentration in large camps and com
parative inactivity, together with the
failure of troops to take rigid precau-
tions as advised by the medical de-
partment has been the cause Of so
much sickness in the various camps. 1t
is stated that one reason why Concen-
tratlon has been allowed TO continue
and no orders issued for the practice
marches was that the troops might be
expected to be called for in a short
/ time for service in the field. AS this is
no longer probable orders are expected
/ to be issued very soon which will move
many of the troops and spread then
about the country in the new camps
or upon practice marches.
A dispatch from General Merritt con.
cerning the report Of a small engage
ment near Manila gave only the merest
