THE DREYFUS CASE.
Situation More Critical Owing tn Gen.

PARIS, Sept. 22.-The situation here &c
generally admitted to be grave by both press
and people. The conflict between the civil
and military authorities is becoming acute
The sudden and unexpected action of Gen.
Zurlinden, the military governor of Paris
In prosecuting Colonel Picquart on the
charge OF forgery and using forged docu-
ments assumes grave aspect on account
of the circumstances attending this inter-
vention of the military authorities in a civil
court At the present moment when the
political atmosphere is surcharged with
dangerous electricity generated by the Drey-
fus affair, the general, who has just quilted
the Cabinet in defiance of civil authority
takes, without consulting his successor or
the premier, an important STEP In ordi-
nary circumstances the military governor
is empowered to act independently. but now
that the Dreyfus question has become a
great national matter every proceeding in
the affair has state Importance. General
Zurlinden's ignoring of this obvious fact
is very significant. He comes forward as
the defender of the army the prosecutor of
Its supposed calumniators and the resolute
opponent of a revision of the case From
this to an appeal to the public in the line
OF the establishment of a dictatorship there
| Is no VIDE step.
The Soleil says that owing to yesterdays
events the Cabinet at an informal confer
ence discussed General Zurlinden's action.
and the Fronde even asserts that the
premier. NJ Brisson, disavows the measures
taken against Colonel Picquart, which he
says were instituted without the knowledge
of the Cabinet.
The Radical makes bitter attack on the
general staff, which 1t charges with aiming
at the moral assassination of Picouart
through secret military trial.
Henri Rochefort in his paper. the In
transigeant, declares that Picquart was
bribed by syndicate or by Germany TO
save Dreyfus.
M. Jaures. the Socialist deputy. in the
Petite Republique maintains that the gem
eral staff of the French army cannot now
escape the full light of a revision of the
Dreyfus case.
Colonel Picquart was transferred this aft
ernoon to the military prison of Cherche
Midi. The Matin affirms that it has au-
thentic information that the name of Drey-

of documents brought against him. 1t adds

GEN. SKATER SPEAKS
TALKS TO SURVIVORS OF HIS OLD
MICHIGAN REGIMENT.
He Defends the Santiago Campaign
and Compares 1t with other Inva-
siOns-The Lack of Supplies.

CHICAGO. Sept. %. A special dispatch
gives a speech made by General Shafter at
reunion of the Nineteenth Michigan Regi-
nlent, of which he was colonel during the
civil war. General Shafter said that when
the fleet first left Tampa it was intended
to land it twenty-five miles from Havana
and march on that city. When, however,
the fleet put back because of the reported
proximity of a Spanish squadron word was
received from Admiral Sampson that San
tiago could be taken in twenty-four hours,
and the army sailed for that port Cen
eral Shafter then described in his own
characteristic manner the campaign at
Santiago. After reaching the point in his
story where the Spanish general offered to
surrender General Shafter concluded as
follows:
Il said Toral might march out, salute his
nag before taking 1t down, and fire guns
and any other ceremonies he pleased and
would observe what forms l pleased. So
they took down their flag, fired their guns
and Santiago was surreenndered 1t was
our flag the officers took off their hats and
our guns saluted.
"A lot has been said about lack of sup
plies Men who go to war expect to be
short rationed sometimes. You old soldiers
here have often had much less to eat than
the soldiers ever did al Santiago. My COM
mand during the civil war often drew corn
on the cob for meal 1t was not question
of having supplies when, if we had had a
thousand wagons, the fearful roads would
not have let me take it to the front. But
the men had coffee, bread and meat. Some
times they had to pound the coffee in
rag, but you all did that. Some of the men
complained, but they good soldiers in
spite of that and fought like heroes when
called on. A large number of men died.
Tents could not be put up because the men
were in the trenches and tents could not be
pitched on the firing line.
we staid longer than we expected after
the surrender, but had to Stay-the honor of
the government demanded it, and we staid
Five hundred men came down every day
with sickness, and some days 800. But we
had brought the war to a close. The cap
ture of the fleet prevented fresh troops
from being brought over, but it did not
stop the war. The surrender of Toral's
army did stop it.
People say we should not have made that
campaign in summer. What else could be
done? We had to end the war and end it
quickly. There was less loss of life by 100
per cent than any similar invasion Napo-
leon returned from Egypt with only rem
nant of his army. OF $4,000 men England
sent to this country during the of the
revolution 1900 laid their bones down to
bleach in the soil of the country against
which they fought. Our campaign would
have been frightfully disastrous if it had
been long"

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. Pat the Re-
publican county convention to-day the slate
agreed upon by the leaders of the com
bine" and 'anti-combine'' factions of the
party went through without a break.
Nearly all of the legislative nominees are
said to be favorable to Mr.. Quay's return
to the Senate In one district, however, a
hard contest resulted in the success of two
men instructed to vote against Senator
Quay If elected. In the congressional dis
tricts the only contest was waged against
James Rankin Young, a well-known news
paper man, who was renominated by
a handsome majority. Following are
the congressional nominations: First dis
trict, Fl. H. Bingham; Second district,
McAleer Oerl.); Fourth district, James r.
Young; Fifth district, Alfred C. Harmer. All
are denominations. There was no opposition
to Congressman McAleer in the Third dis
licans.
