mysterious telegram received from
Colmar, capital of Upper Alsace, signed
by an unknown correspondent.
So far as can be ascertained, there
is no official confirmation of the report.
The father-in-law of Dreyfus discredits
it. He says he has received excellent
accounts from the colonial office quite
recently as to the prisoners health.
Despite these assurances, there are
dark rumors afloat. In view of the
curious manner in which the letter
from Dreyfus, declaring he had aban-
doned all hope, was conveyed to
Madame Dreyfus on Friday, many peO-
pie believe he is dead.
a dispatch from Paris on Friday said
that Madame Dreyfus had applied that
day at the office of the minister of the
colonies for permission to send her hus-
band some warm clothing for his re-
turn home. The request was refused
on the ground that the government
would do whatever was necessary. At
| the same time, according to the dis
patch, the authorities read her a letter
i from her husband to the effect that,
having for five months addressed ap-
pealS for revision to General de 'Bois-
deffre (recently chief-of-staff of the
French army, without getting any re-
ply, and being weary and exhausted
by his useless appeals, he would write
no more to his family or to anyone
else. He described himself as i'll and
dying, and bequeathed to the "gener-
osity of my country the care of re-
habilitating my memory
1t appears that Madame Dreyfus
then asked permission to telegraph her
husband the decision of the court of
cessation. This request was also re-
/ fused. Then, through friend, she ap-
| pealed to President Faure, with no bet
ter result. The dispatch said her coun-
| sci would bring the whole matter be-
fore the court of cessation
Careful inquiries made at Colmar
this evening show that nothing is
known there as to the death of Drey-
fus. 1t is now believed that the teIe-
gram was a hoax.

London, Nov. 13-There was dis
tinct change for the better in the tenn
per of the stock exchange last week,
prices displaying a marked improve
ment, owing to the brighter outlook,
which was sufficiently pronounced to
attract buyers. In many cases quota
tions rose sharply, and American Sc
curities had a boom on the strength of
the success of the Republicans in the
congressional elections, which is re-
garded as giving a quietus to the silver
agitation.
There were heavy purchases of bonds
at advances of from 1a to 1 per cent,
while the better class of shares, es-
pecially preferred, was in good demand

Paris, Nov. 13.-The Gaulois this
morning says: The acquisition Of the
Philippines for % years by an inter
national syndicate. from whichever
power MAY. eventually acquire them, is
a rumor based On facts Of which the
Gaulois viii tomorrow (Nfonday) give
details.
Following this lead, the Gaulois and
other papers will tomorrow announce
the scheme somewhat on these lines:
A syndicate representing 40O,OOO,000
capital proposes to take over the com
mercial resources and advantages Of
the Philippines for a term of 25 years,
paying to the dominant power therein
SIPS, 00G, 600 for the privilege.
Under the alleged terms of this
scheme, the dominant power would ad
minister the political and military
government Of the islands at its own
expense, under the apportionment
named, while the syndicate would col
lect all customs and other revenues, Tor
rne term specified. The scheme involves
giving Spain $175, 100000 to satisfy any
real or imaginary claims she may make
as to the territory. This feature is said
to be based on the assumption that the
United States will be the dominant
power.
The remaining S1O0, 600 900 of this re-
puted syndicate would be preserved as
its working capital.
The sponsor of the project is a Mr..
Young, said to be a son u Brigham
Young, and an attempt is apparently
made to create the impression that the
capital of S400 000, 600 is already under
written.
1t is thought possible, however, if the
alleged syndicate has an existence, that
Americans may have an opportunity
given them to join with it in holdings
of large or small amounts. Whether 1t
proves veritable or not, friends of the
United States here are asking If the
announcement of the scheme is not in
tended to embarrass the Americans by
an offer. real or apparent, OF $400, 900, 900
for limited time, for the use of what
abe Americans may desire to acquire
in perpetuity for a sum relatively nil.
The Americans in Paris put aside as
unthinkable the assumption that the
United States would farm its burdens
or its advantages, if any, in the Phil
ipDines which, If acquired, viii be
taken over as indemnity attending the
discharge of high responsibilities. In
any event, the American commissioners
viii doubtless ask whether the an
nouncemenr is timed to serve the ends
of the syndicate or to hinder the efforts
of Judge Day and his associates to
effect an amicable adjustment of the
Philippine question.

MUTINY IN CUBA.
Spanish Soldiers Will Not Go Home
Until Paid.

Washington, Nov 13.-Adjutant GEN
eral Corbin received a dispatch today
announcing that the Eighth cavalry
sailed this morning from Savannah for
Puerto Principe, Cuba. The regiment
will be the American garrison at Puer-
to PRINCIPE and Neuvitas.
In this connection, an interesting bit
of information has reached the war de-
partment Arrangements have been
made by the Spanish authorities to
send back to Spain the Spanish troops,
numbering $500 men, upon the arrival
of the American garrison. 1t was ex-
pected they would sail next Tuesday or
Wednesday, but an unexpected obsta-
Gle has arisen among the men them
selves. They are on the verge Of mu-
tiny, openly declaring they will not re-
turn to Spain until they have received
their pay, now far in arrears, for sery-
ice in Cuba. The mutiny extends not
alone to the enlisted men, but to their
officers, and is directed against the ex-
ecutive officials of the Madrid govern
ment on the island. Some of the men
have not been paid for nearly year,
and to all of them several months of
pay is due.
The situation has created no particu-
lar concern in the minds of the Amer
ican authorities, as it is not likely ser1-
ously to affect the control of that por-
tion oe the island by the American
forces: but it is realized that those
$500 soldiers, if they should persist in
their refusal to return to Spain, might
become dependents whom it would be
difficult to care for, and ultimately.
perhaps, a menace to good government
on the island. The Spanish authorities
express no fear of their ability to solve
the problem presented, but how they
will solve it if the men, backed by their
officers, absolutely refuse to return
home without their pay, is not clear
