THE. SWEEPING CHARGES
MADE BY EMILE ZOLA

PARIS, Sept M Emile Zola, in
his famous II accuse" letter, which led
to his trial and conviction ON the
charge of libeling military officers,
said:
!. II accuse Lieutenant Colonel Patty du
Clam Of having been the diabolical
worker of a judicial error, unconscious
ly, am ready to believe, and of then
having defended his nefarious doings
for the past three years by the most
absurd and culpable Vaccinations. 1
accuse General. Mercier (who was Min
lister of War when Dreyfus was tried)
of being the. accomplice, at least
through weak intelligence, In the
greatest iniquity of the century. ac-
cuse General Billot minister of War
during the late Dreyfus agitation) of
having in his hands the certain proofs
of the innocence of Dreyfus and of
having suppressed them, thus .:hav-
ing rendered himself guilty Of treason
against humanity and justice for a po-
lftical reason and in order to save the,
compromised staff. / accuse General
Boisdeffre (the chief of the general
staff and General COM (the assist.
ant chief of the general staff of being.
accomplices in the same crime, the one
through religious animesity the other,
perhaps, through the esprit de corps,
which makes the War Office "a sacred
and unassailabie ark. I accuse Gen
eral de .Pellieu and Major Ravary of
having made a fiagitious Investigation,
whereby / mean an inquiry Of the
most monstrous partiality. i accuse
the three experts In handwriting; the
men Belhomme, .Varianard and COuard,
of having drawn up false and fraudu-
lent reports, unless a medical examina-
ton shall prove them to be victims of
disease of sight. or Judgment. I ac-
cuse the officers of the War Office. of
having organized a press campaign in
order to lead public opinion astray.
Finally, accuse the first court-lnartial
of having condemned a. man on doc
ument kept secret, and L: accuse. the
second. court-martial, of having covered
this iHegaHty by order and of com
,mitting, in It's turn, the crime of know
ingly acquitting a guilty person.
| After a long trial in February NJ.
Zola was sentenced to one years inn
prisonment and to. pay a. fine of. 5000
francs for. these alleged lfbels, and nj.
Perrieux, manager of the Aurore, was
sentenced to four months. imprison-
ment and to pay 5000 francs fine. On
his way to and from the court house
during the: trial NJ. zola was continu-
ally hooted by mebs, and at its conclu-
sion narrowly escaped personal vio-
lence. When the French author heard

cannibals."

The Coconino sun., 1898-09-10

On Monday nigh a meeting was held in the office of F.. $. Clark, al which were present J. D. Benedict, superin- tendent of the Forest Reserves in New Mexico and Arizona, with heidquar- ters at Santa Fe: Mir. Breen, superin- tendent of Forest Reserves Of Arizona, and F.. T. Halsinger, special agent of the Interior Department, and w. T. Herman, superintendent of the Grand Canyon Forest Reserve, and about q dozen of our citizens who are interested in the sheep raising industry.
 The meeting was pleasant one and explanations were made by the gov ernment officials as to the intention aud purposes of the Forest Reserves and that it was not the intention or desire of the Interior Department to put the people residing within the limits of the re- serve to any inconvenience whatever. The title to any land or the land already entered as homestead would not be disturbed.
 As to the rule of the department in regard to the grazing of sheep on the reserve, thess gentlemen were of the opinion that upon proper representa- tion it might be modified so as to allow sheep to graze within the limits of the reserve at certain seasons of the year. but it was matter that would have to be referred to higher officials.

There is no meat. bread or -four. ex-

The newspapers. though ligidly CEN

unprecedented rains are causing an
epidemic. They pretend that the dis

An abattoir has been established for
slaughtering horses and dogs. The
newspapers admN that the military
bakers are deduced to the necessity OF
using rice. the stock of which will
shortly be exhausted.
The stock of fuel, too. is exhausted
and the bakers are burning doors and
window frames. Ii is impossible to eat
uncooked rice.
A decree has been issued authorizing
the entry of private premises and the
seizure of cattle and horses there, for
a nominal payment, made in worthless
drafts. Several animals belonging to
British owners have been taken, al
though there was plenty belonging to
Spanish owners that had not been

An attempt was made to seize the

LIVELY FIGHTING.
Though Ma|ate Affair Is Called
But a Skirmish
The Report Shows It to Be a Good
Imitation Of a Battle.
Yankees Fight Beautifully and Arc enthused
Over the Result.

London, Aug. 10.-TThe correspon-
dent of the Times at Cavite, with Gen.
Greene's Brigade, under Date of Aug.
3, says: A heavy southwest monsoon
has been blowing since Sunday and del
uges Of rain have greatly increased the
difficulties Of landing and moving the
United States troops and multiplied
the disccmfoIts in camp, which were
already almost uncomfortable.
AS l anticipated. Gen. Greenes Bri-
Gade is the focus of the active land
campaign. Already the trops are in
constant and close touch with the en-
emy.
On Friday morning. a battalion con-
sisting of the 1st Colorado, under
Lieut.. Mccoy. with four guns of the
Utah battery. commanded by Capt.

movements were further hidden by the
floods of rain.
The Pennsylvanians met the attack
with a succession of volleys, covering
their right with two companies sta

trenchments.
After about three-quarters of an
hour two companies of the Sd Regular
Artillery under Major OHara. arrived

Washington, Aug. 9.-The interest
ing feature of tuday's news of the war
department was the cable from Gen.
Miles stating that he did not need en-
forcemcnt and advising that no more
troops be sent to Porto Rico. The ef-
feet of this dispatch Was to stop the
embarkation of troops at Newport
News and to stop Gen. Wade's corps
from sailing. This leaves all Of Gen.
wade's provisional corps of the West
ern regiments still in the United
States.
Their are six brigades under the
command of Gen. Wade. The 1st Bri
gade is composed of the lst Rhode ISL
and, 4th Missouri and end New York;
the 2nd brigade Of the lst North Caro-
lina. LIST Alabama and list Arkansas;
the Srd Brigade of the 1st New Hamp-
shire, 1st Vermont and End Iowa; the
An Brigade of the 1st New Jersey, 1st
West Virginia and Bird Virginia; tho
9TH Brigade of the End Texas, 1st Con-
nacticut and the 1st Delaware; the 9Th
Brigade OF the LIST Maine 3rd Tennes-
see and the 1st Maryland.
None Of the troops under Gen. Wade's
command have yet started. The depart
ment was not accurately informed,
this afternoon. as 10 which Of Wilson's
troops VIII be held up under this new
order, but it is believed that the 9th
Illinois, which has been four times
disappointed by the revocation of or
ders to the front is among those which
have not yet gone on board the trans
ports.
The disposition of troops which are
not now needed for active service was
considered at once by the department
officials and Ghe determination was
reached that there would be a general
movement from the larger camps.
Some of these troops will be sent
North, where they Will be In a cooler
are under consideration but which
have not yet been definitely selected.
Investigation of a number of places
is in progress with special reference
to the health of the camp and water
supply. 1t is believed by the authori-
ties that good water will go a long
way toward maintaining the healthful-
ness of the troops.
Some regiments will be removed at
once and those which cannot be moved
probably will be ordered to proceed up
on practice marches, the object being
to scatter the troops as much as pos
sible and to relieve the several camps
from the effect of concentration.
The belief is now general among the
officials of the war department that
concentration in large camps and COM
narrative inactivity, together with the
failure of the troops to take rigid pre-
cautions as advised by the medical de-
palstment has been the cause of 50
much sickness in the various camps.

ANOTHER WHIPPING
Given Spanish at Manila by
Our Yankee Soldiers.
5000 Spanish Repeatedly Charge Our
Men Only to Be Repu|sed.
Our Loss Very Small While Spanish Loss Is
Very Heavy.

New York, Aug. "a special copy
right dispatch to the Evening World
from Manila bay gives the following
details Of the battle of July 81: Cen
been advancing and entrenching. The
arrival Of the third expedition filled the
Spaniards with rage and they deter
mined to give battle before Camp
Dewey could be reinforced.
The trenches extended from the
beach. 800 yards to the left flank Of the
Insurgents. Sunday was The insur-
gent feast day and their left flank
withdrew, leaving the American right
flank exposed. Companies A and Z of
the 10th Pennsylvania and the Utah
Battery were ordered to reinforce the
right flank.
In the midst of raging typhoon,
with a tremendous downpour of rain
the enemy,s force, 5000 men, attemp-
ting to surprise the camp. Our pickets
We're driven in and the trenches as
saulted. The brave Pennsylvania men
never ninched but stood their ground
under a withering fire.
The alarm spread and the 1st Cali
fornia Regiment. with two companies
of the 3rd Artillery Who fight with
rifles We're sent up to reinforce the
Pennsylvanians.
The enemy We're on top of the
trenches when these reinforcements
arrived. and never were the discipline
of the regulars better demonstrated
than by the work of the 3rd Artillery
under Captain OHara.
Nothing could be seen but flashes
of Mauser rifles. Men ran UP to the
attacking Spaniards and moving them
down with regular volleys.
The Utah Battery, under Captain
Young covered itself With glory. The
men pulled their guns through mud,
axle-daep. Two guns were sent around
in flank and poured in a destructive,
enflading fire.
The enemy was repulsed and re-
treated in disorder. Our infantry had
exhausted its ammunition and did not
follow the enemy.
Not an inch of ground was lost. but
the scenes in the trenches was one
never to be forgotten. During flashes
of lightning the dead and wounded
could be seen lying in blood-red water,
but neither the elements of heaven
nor the destructive power of man
could wiring cry of protest fIVm the
wounded They encouraged their
comrades to fight and handed over
their cartridge belts.
During the night the Spanish scouts
were seen carrying off dead and
wounded Of the enemy.
The American dead were buried next
day in the convent OF Maracaban.
on the night of Aug. l the fighting
was renewed, but the enemy had been
taught a lesson and made the attack ut
long range with heavy artillery. The
Utah Battery replied and the artillery
duel lasted an hour.
