London, Sept. 2l.-Major Esterhazy
Is about to make full confession Of
his connection with the plot to dis
grace Dreyfus. AS he admits that he
cannot return to France, it Is evident
that the part he took involves Grimm
al consequences.
The Major has been safely staying in
London for some days. Shaving off
his mustache was his only attempt at
disguise but this has proved sufficient,
as his whereabouts remained undis-
covered by private detectives both
English and French, who have been
hunting him in the interest of the
Dreyfus family.
The Major has authorized the fol-
lowing statement:
There is no longer any justice for
me in my own country and the time
has arrived to make a full disclosure
of the part l played in the Dreyfus
affair l intend to make this disclos-
ure in the interest of truth, regardless
of it's result to Dreyfus personally.
Il can no longer allow myself to he
made scapegoat The responsibility
must be fairly distributed.

questioning obedience to my superior

obedience to my superiors. If l were

abandoned me. / owe them no further

OUR PEACE TERMS FoRMEp.
No Deviation or Modification VIII he
Permitted.


Washington, ID. G. Sept. 21.-"The
members of the Peace Commission,
with the exception of Senator Gray,
whose absence was due to his inabil-
ity to withdraw as counsel in a case in
which he was engaged some time be-
fore his appointment as one of the
Peace Commissioners, have had free
discussion of the duties, the discharge
of which they had been intrusted with
by the President.
while for obvious reasons 1t was
determined that the nature of the il-
structions as to the negotiations about
to be entered upon should for the pres
ent be kept secret and made known
only after definite results shall have
been reached, IT. is possible to state
authoritatively that the commission
goes to Paris fully prepared to follow
q course of action mapped out for 1t as
the result of the consultations of the
last ten days. At the very outset 1t
will be made clear to the Spanish
Commissioners that, as in the case Of
the preliminary, protocol, there can be
no deviation from or modification of
the demands made by the United
States"

Withdrawing From Cuba,

Havana, September 20.-The American
and Spanish Military Commissioners
are carrying on their negotiations with
the utmost cordiality. 1t is now
known that the evacuation of the
island by the Spanish troops will re-
quire longer time than was at first
expected. This is due not only to the
material difficulties in providing for
the embarkment of over 10000 men,
including the regular troops and such
of the militia as desire to go, but also
to the fact that the American commits
sion will have to take charge of the
different departments that are now
controlled by the Spanish Army.

New Haven, Sept 21.--The oalcials
Of the Winchester Repeat'g Arms Com
pany an dthe police of the city are in
a state of mind They fear some mys-
terious explosion. The reason for this
uneasiness dates back to last Wodnes-
day night, when thieves entered the
shops of the Winchester Company and
carried away forty pounds of primer.
II is difficult to understand how the
thieves could have accomplished their
work undiscovered. The night shift
quit work at o'clock in the morning
and the shops were quiet until 9
o'clock, with the exception of the
hourly visits Of the watchmen. When
the day shift came the loss of the
primer became known at once, and the
report of the theft caused great con-
sternation at the Office The officials
of the company could not believe at
first that any one would be so fool
hardy as to commit such dangerous
depreciation.
