Demand Made on PeFSeGHt0rS Of
DTGyfls.
PROTECTION FOR ESTERHAzY
a Call for the Real CrIminaIs-New
Trial Confidently Expected.
Letters From Prisoner.
IN THE COURT.

NEW YORK, October 2S.-A World
cable from Paris says: A panic among
the heads OF the army and among the
anti-Dreyfusites in general has been
caused by Prosecutor General Ma
naus' demand before the Court of Cas-
sation to-day that Dreyfus be liberated
and the actual culprits be punished.
He coupled this demand with another.
practically calling on Esterhazy to turn
states evidence, assuring him OF pro-
lection by declaring in court that moth
ing can be done To- him now for forging
the bordereau, since the court-martial
has acquitted him OF that charge.
Paris is in suspense. waiting 20 see
whether or not the Court will accede to
NJ. Manaus' demand for the prosecution
OF the really guilty persons. IL the
Court grants IL the Government will
have no option under the Constitution
but TO assent. Ii is expected in legal
circles hat the Court will annul the 1894
trial and order a supplementary in
quiry. This would imply an order OF
the Court to- produce all the documents.
Including the secret dossier (package)
which the War Ministry is holding
back, and a new trial by martial.
Should the Court decide TO quash the
lconviction OF Dreyfus as unwarranted
by the evidence. il would involve the
immediate liberation of the prisoner.
leaving il optional with the general
staff to institute a new trial.
LETTERS FROM DREYFUS.
PARIS. October 2s-To-day's pro-
ceedings at the Court of Cessation were
devoid of sensation The only emotion
caused ensued during the reading OF
pathetic letters from Dreyfus. A sig
nificant point was the revelation of the
fact that General de Boisdefire gave or
ders, after the Dreyfus case was sup
posedly closed, for the dossier, con-
tanning the bordereaux. TO be burned.
and expressed surprise to find that his
orders had not been executed.
Thus far the War Office has not been
represented and there is little hope OF
securing the dossier. NJ. Dupuy was
Premier during the Dreyfus trial and
his appointment delights the anti-Drey-
fusites 1t is asserted that the father
in-law of Dreyfus has received a letter
from the prisoner in his own handwrit-
ing. Formerly only copies of his letters
were transmitted and the new depart
ure is regarded as a favorable sign

Sells Rum to the Heather.

The recent voyage of Il certain brig
from Boston TO the gold coast of Africa,
as described for publication by her cap
tain, is interesting reading. 1t viii
doubtless interest the temperance and
missionary societies 20 know that the
brig left Boston Laden with 10 hogs
heads of rum for the little-knOwn gold
coast. Although she took some other
articles, most of the profits of the yOy
age were to come from the rum. SC
utterly priIneyal is this isolated part
of the African coast that the cargo haG
to be landed through the surf from the
vessel. Through some remarkable
aboriginal instinct the natives scented
the cargo almost before the brig was
in sight. and as soon as she was 1T an
chor diyed through the waves like hun.
CRY sharks.
Among the interesting facts about
the African natives related by the cap
tain is that since there are no beasts of
burden and no cOlyeyanceS on the gold
coast the barrels of rum are rolled in
land by hand. 50 that liquor has thus
been rolled hundreds of miles into the
country. 1t is further related that the
natives have become So infatuated
with rum carried from various cOun-
tries to their coast that Il vessel which
proposes 10 have cargo landed must
carry it as currency. or no business car
be done. Gold is Deprecated currency
as against rum Oh the lonely coast. The
wonderful 4,000-mile voyage OF this
brig 20 the gold coast with 10 hogs
heads OF New England rum offers some

and if slave gave trouble it did not
much matter that the bloodhound's s
hold upon his throat was broken only
by the tearing of the flesh and tendons.
Many times in those days the fugitive
negro did not live after his capture. II
he succeeded in gaining a tree. his

they would a squirrel. If on the ground

The Cuban hound was a valuable

AS matter of course the planters Of
this century were careful to protect
their slaves as far as possible from at.
tacks by the animals. This was geu-
orally easy. The runaway slave inva-

that the ancient anecdote of the coon
which remarked to the man with the
gun, Don't shoot, mister; I'm goire to

runaway hand perched in a cypress
and gazing down at his irate master,
but preserving always the negro's sense
of humor. Indeed, the story is loved
and venerated in every quarters"
south of Mason and DiXon's line. and is
always good for a laugh. The planters
care in this matter was dictated more
by policy than humanity. 1t did not

The bloodhound is now used only IN
the pursuit of criminals. Every south

is not always pure, but the dogs serve
their purpose. Their keenness of scent
