Arrest Of Colonel Henry Likely to Re Of
Importance In Drcyfus aud Zola Cases.
PARIS, Sept. 1.-The arrest OF Lieu.
tenant Colonel Henry. on the discov.
ery that he is tho author OF On impor.
tant letter which figured in the Drey-
fus case. is one Of the most sensational
developments in the whole OF this ex.
traordinary affair. Colonel Henry has
been throughout the champion Of the
army against Colonel Picquart. with
whom he fought duel. This new de.
velopment appears to alter the aspect
of both the Dreyfus and the Zola case,
and to practically nullify the evidence
OF Generals Pellleu and Boisdeffre and
tho declarations Of the minister for
war. NJ. Cavaignac, in the chamber Of
deputies. In fact some people believe
that perhaps the real turning point in
the Dreyfus case has been reached and
that the arrest Of Colonel Henry will
lead to a revision of the trial OF the
prisoner OF Devils island.
Colonel Henry confesses to having
committed forgery lowing to tho abso
lute necessity for finding proof against
Dreyfus." 1t is understood that the
document in question is the letter
which hitherto has been alleged to have
been written by tho German military
attache to the Italian military attache
in October. 1896. and was the chief
evidence upon which Dreyfus was con-
victed.
When Count Esterhazy was informed

his admission, he exclaimed:

NOT GENERALLY KNOWN
 BY THE BERLIN PRESS

LONDON, July 31.-A dispatch from Berlin to the Associated Press says: The news of Prince Bismarck's death reached this city at late hour and was only generally known this morning. A number of papers, including the Post, the Vorwaerts and the Deutsche Zei- tung, did not contain the news of the Princes demise. The Kreuz Zeitung and some others had only a brief mo- tice.
 The Tageblatt this morning issued a Bismarck supplement. The Lokal An zeiger prints the fullest details from its special correspondents at Friedrichs- ruhe, but the other papers, misled by pr. Schweninger's and the family s statements regarding the Princes con- dition, made no provision to obtain news of his death. A majority of the provincial papers did not contain the news. This morning no news of any

 FRIEDRICHSRUHE July 31.-When Prince Bismarck died from congestion of the lungs last night at Il o'clock the end came peacefully. His last words were, 'Ich danke dir, mein kind" ad- dressed to the Countess von Rantzau, who wiped the perspiration off his fore head Immediately after his death the windows of his room were thrown open and the household attaches could see from the garden their master, lying at rest on the pillow of his bed, covered with a white cover. and Herbert Bis marck bending, grief stricken, gazing into his fathers face.
 The clements of the death of Na.po- leon 1 seemed to participate in the tragic occurrence. A storm ragged last night along the North Sea, and there was a bitter autumnal cold this morn ing. I have just had long converse tion with pr. Schweninger, who author izes me to state that all stories of re- cent interviews with him are pure in VentionS.
 Years ago I certainly said hoped to bring the Prince to see the age of 90, but even then I had to reckon with the
  of the excitement of the events attend ing his retirement recently. I have been prepared for the worst, and have lived backward and forward between Berlin and Friedrichsruhe.
 Last Thursday l managed to rouse him to come to dinner. I said to him: We must drink a glass of champagne together. We did so and he was in such good spirits that he smoked five pipes running. Then I persuaded him to go to bed before I left for Berlin, which I had to do, although even then l feared it was only case of days. Last night I just returned in time to see him pass away. I feel as if the aim in my own life were gone. My only con- solation is that whatever might have been his previous physical suffering, which he bore so heroically, his death was singularly free from suffering and agony. It was the going out of a light, indeed This afternoon l am going to embalm the body myself. It Is the last service I can render his precious re- mains.
 ''The funeral service will take place either on Tuesday or Wednesday. He will probably rest in his coffin in the room he died in, for he will ultimately rest in a mausoleum that is going to be built on a hill opposite the schloss, a spot the Prince once selected himself. We were out driving together two years ago when he said: I should like to be buried there, just opposite where have lived the last years of my life told him that in that case 1t would be best to put it down in writing. This de did, and to-day at luncheon the document containing the dead Princes wishes was read aloud. Bismarck will thus sleep among the trees he loved so well. I understand that when the mausoleum is finished the Princess Bismarck's s

have a proportionate share in state business and it's supervision of that freedom of action in ministerial de- cisions or communications with the Reichstag or members of the Reichstag which my constitutional responsibility requires. It would also-after the lat est decisions of your Majesty respect ing the direction to be given over for eig1 policy as set forth in the imperial autograph letter with which your Majesty yesterday accompanied the reports of the ConsuD-be 1m- instructions therein given with re- spect to foreign policy. It would thus call in question all the important results for the German Empire which our foreign policy has attained under unfavorable conditions on lines lald down by both your Majesty's predeces- sors.
 ''In view of my attachment to the service of TOUT Nyajesty's royal house and the many years during which l have grown habituated to position which I have hitherto regarded as an enduring one, it is very painful to me to sever myself from my accustomed relations to your Majesty and from the general policy of the empire and Prus- sia. but after conscientious considera- tion of your Majesty's intentions, for the execution of which l must be pre- pared if I remain in office, I cannot do otherwise than beg your majesty to relieve me of the office of Imperial Chancellor. Premier and Minister of Foreign Affairs.
 According to the impressions I have received during the last few weeks, as well as communications from your Majesty's military and civil household, I may assume that my request to re- sign meets with your Majesty's wishes

LETTER OF THE PRINCE
 ASSIGNING HIS OFFICE

BERLIN, July 31.-The Lokal Anzef- ger publishes a long article on Bis marck by Dr. Moritz Busch. It gives an alleged copy of the original text of Prince Bismarck's letter to Emperor William on leaving office in 1S90s which it is understood was only to be pub lished after his death. In this docu- ment Bismarck is represented as say ing: "It Is not possible for me to re- tain the position of President of the Council of Ministers after your Majesty, in respect of the same, has uroed a capitis- -diminutio, relying upon an abrogation of the order of 1852, which regulates the relations of Min ister President to his colleagues.
 Moreover, in regard to my official prerogatives, your Majesty has impos- ed limits which do not permit me to

body will be brought from Varzin to rest by her husbands side"
 pr. Schweninger further tells me that Bismarck suffered lately from frequent intermittent, .so-called, soporous at-- tacks, from which he either dropped into a sound sleep CT from which he suddenly recovered full consciousness. On Saturday afternoon the attacks in creased in frequency and toward even ing they even took more serious form until death ensued, but even late on Saturday morning the Prince read tEe Hamburger Nachrichten as usual, and spoke to those around him on politics. particularly concerning Russia.

kind regarding the funeral arrange- ments was obtainable.
 The Hamburger Correspondence and the Nachrichten appear with mourning borders and publish long obituary mo- tices. The Nachrichten gives the full est details of the last days and death of Bismarck. It says:
 "On Tuesday evening there was an improvement in the Princes condition, in which repeated changes for the worse had occurred since October last. and he was able to appear at the table
The San Francisco call., 1898-08-01

and that may therefore certainly re- ly upon it's gracious acceptance. l would have rendered my resignation to your Majesty long ago if I had not thought your Majesty wished to util- iZe the experience of true servant of your predecessors. Since I have be- come certain that your Majesty does not care to avail herself of them with draw from political life, without any apprehension that public opinion will condemn my decision as untimely"

AS c may prove disappointment to U c the President and the French . c Ambassador. U
 Ambassador Cambon's powers when he called at the White House yesterday were much more extensive than when he made his first visit on Tuesday of last week to ask whether the United States was willing to take up the ques- ton of peace. He had received in structions from Spain authorizing him to present her side of the case and en- deavor to obtain from President Nc KfnIey terms which would be accept able in Madrid as a basis for beginning negotiations for a final treaty of peace Those instructions made him acqua1nt- ed with Spain's position on every ques- tion that would probably be treated in President McKinley's statement or the basis on which the United States would discuss peace. He was told what Spain hoped to be able to get on each point, and he was also informed as to the minimum the Madrid Ministry could consider on each point. He was, of course, to strive to bring the united States demands near Spain's hopes, and try to prevent them from exceed ing the minimum that she could con-
 
 President and Secretary Day, and their hopefulness of an early peace agree ment arises from the fact that they re- ceiyed the impression from what the Ambassador said in the course or the conference yesterday that the terms proposed by them, with the moditica- tion which he succeeded in obtaining, comes within the minimum Spain IS willing to concede, and that the two countries are therefore upon common ground. It Is expected that Spain will attempt to dicker and have the terms made more favorable to her than in the draft which Ambassador Cambon received from President Mckinley yes +erday. Better terms in regard to the Philippines Is what the Spanish Gov ernment will contend for most strenu- ously. It is believed, indeed, the con- dftions insisted upon by the United States in regard to Porto Rico and Cuba will receive practically no oppo- sition. but Spain will be reluctant to ,nalxe any concessions whatever III the Philippines.
 Notwithstarding her reluctance on tbjs point, the administration believes from the language and standpoint or Fnbassado- Cambon yesterday that she will yield on this point, too, before many days. The President did not make any threat to Spain through the French Ambassador that if the terms proposed by the United States were hot agreed to without delay, the cost <. of the war from now on would be charged up against Spain and that each day of delay would Like the terms harder. He gave the Embassa- dor to understand very clearly, how ever, that he wished the Spanish Gov ernment to know that the terms pro- posed in yesterdays note were for that day only, and if the nego' iations were unduly delayed, it might be impossible
