PARIS, Feb 10.-The examination OF
M. Tauriex, the former minister Of just
ice, was completed at today's session OF
the assizes court Of the Seine, before
which NJ. Zola and NJ. Perrieux, man.
ager of the Aurore. are being tried, the
former for writing and the latter for
printing letter rejecting upon the Es-
terhazy court martial.
M. Tauriex said that while he was
minister of justice he had nothing to do
with the Dreyfus case. He approved OF
NJ. Scheurer-Kestner's agitation OF the
matter.
| When Commandant Fornestti was
called, NJ de lie Gorgue, presiding judge
refused to allow him to be questioned
regarding the Dreyfus case, and M. La
borie, counsel for M. Zola, announced
| that. owing to the action Of the court,
he would abandon the examination OF
| Commandant Fornesitti and Captain
LIE Brun-Renaud and others whom he
only desired to question regarding the
Dreyfus case.
| Mai. Patty du Clam was recalled and
refused to reply to questions put to him
relative to Nine. de Comminges. The
major also refused to reply to other
questions, on the ground of 'profes-
sional secrecy"
Gen. Gonz and Col. Henry gave ex-
plantations of the indscretions of Col.
| Picquart, who had knowledge OF some
secret papers of the minister for war.
Gen. Pellieux, who was appointed to
investigate the Dreyfus case and upon
whose report Maj. Esterhazy was court
maritaled. was examined.
| Gen. Pellieux said he would tell the
whole truth and not plead professional
| secrecy" He then proceeded to relate
the story of the Esterhazy inquiry and
said that Matthieu Dreyfus and NJ
Scheurer-Kestner both admitted that
they could not prove the charge against
Maj. Esterhazy.
| Gen. Pellieux then iudulged in an out
burst against Col. Picquart, whom he
accused of divulging an espionage affair
to an outsider, claiming such conduct
is shameful"
Referring to the Bordereau, the general
declared that the alleged facsimiles
published were all fictitious. AS to the
compromising letter sent to Maj. Ester
hazy, which might raise suspicious that
he had shady relations with foreign
agent, Gen. Pellieux said: 1T is incon-
ceivable that anyone could be so naive
as to employ this method of correspond
ence in a matter of such gravity"
Gen. Pellieux here expressed indigna-
ton at the ''inexcusable action Of Col.
Picquart in having Esterhazy's rooms
burglarized without authority of any
kind"
Col Picquart admitted this" the
witness continued, "and when the court
martial acquitted Count Esterhazy
was not astonished.
Il was proud of having contributed te
the acquittal of Esterhazy. which proves
that in the French army there are not
two traitors, but only one traitor"
Gen. Pellieux was about to refer tc
the Dreyfus case when the presiding
judge gently interposed his usual veto.

finally reached Winchester and called on

Gen. Early unfeelingly remarked that

always talking about getting to Rich

chaplain had better go-and they went.

Glorious news comes from Manila
of a vigorous fight bttween the
insurgents and the Spanisrds. 1t is
claimed that the insurgents have won
several victories aud have taken p.is-
oners about 1900 men and so officers
of the Spanish troops and over a
thousand killed. 1t is reported by
cable, soon after he had secured the
cooperation Of the insargent chief,
Aquinaldo, Admiral Dewey would
see to it that the insurgents observed
the rules of civilized warfare. This
caution was made necessary BY the
terrible tales that circulated Of the
barbarous treatment of prisoners cap
tured by the insurgents. 1t is sin
cerely hoped that Aquinaldo will see
to it that this agreement is observed
in the case of the l,SOO prisoners ne
now holds, for it is believed in official
circles that the nations Of the civil
lized world will hold the United
States morally responsible for any
great excesses that may be committed
in the PHILIPPINES as result of our
action there.
