Denver. Col, October Upon the reas-

dent of construction of the Denver MINT TO
testify in rebuttal. Attorneys for the de-
Tense objected. Mr.. Ullery said that on
August G he had a conversation with
Chaplain Mcintyre at their hotel. Witness
said the chaplain asserted that when the
battle began Admiral Sampson with the
flagship New York was fifteen miles away
and that when the Oregon was going into
the battle she passed the Iowa going to the
rear.
The chaplain said, the witness dec areu'
that ''Fighting Bob Evans was coward
and that Admiral Schley showed the whlte
feather. The chaplain said he served as
cban,ain of the cruiser Baltimore when
Admiral Schley was commander. He had
greatly admired him for his action at
VALPARAISO in 1891, but since the battle OF
Julv he had lost that admiration. Chap-

that Admiral Sampson received more than

use of intoxicating liquors. He asked the

was erlptied quietly. There were no dem
onstrarons or any cries Of any sort.
The belief is general. tonight. that
the court Of cessation will pronounce
neither for revision nor for annulment
Of the decision in the Dreyfus case, as
either course would entail awkward
consequences. To avoid these, it is ex-
pected the court will decide that. as
the affair now presents itself, there
has been no reason and that, therefore.
the condemnation pronounced upon
Capt. Dreyfus by the court martial
cannot be upheld.
NJ Dupuy. who was interviewed as
he was leaving the Elysee, said the
question of Dreyfus revision was pure
ly judicial. adding: mo honest poll
tician will decline to accept the decis-
ion which shall be given
The Courier de Soir says that the rev.
Citations in the report of M. Bard before
the court of cessation, as to the part
played by some members of the general
staff. have produced strong effect in
military circles and are likely to result in
a reaction tending to put an end to the
antagonism between the civil and mill
tary authorities
The sensational part of M. Bards re-
port was the shorthand notes of the ex-
animation of the late Lieut.. Col. Henry,
of war, after Henrys forgery had been
discovered. These notes showed that the
confession of forgery was only obtained
with the utmost difficulty, Henry stoutiy
denying, and then prevaricating to the
effect that he only answered one phrase
TO. the genuine letter, and then, when
driven to the last corner, protesting that
he acted for the country's good.
The drift of M. Bard'S conclusions was
that Comte EsterhaZy was the real Gull
prit, but thai his condemnation would
have meant the ruin of the intelligence
department.
M. Bard animadverted severely on the
Withholding OF the secret Dossier from
Dreyfus himself, as the presenting of the
documents to Dreyfus could not have
compromised the national interests. he
said. and the course adopted was in
fragrant violation of the rights of French
citizens since 1870
Although the proceedings thus far are
so favorable to Dreyfus, it must not be
ing up of the mystery. 1t looks, rather,
as though an attempt is being made to
stifie the real truth by liberating Drey-
fns without a new trial.
1t is asked by the Dreyfusites, if the
secret Dossier exists, as alleged, what
good purpose can be served b" the court
of cessation giving decision without
proof if any, of the guilt of Dreyfus.
Tomorrow sitting of the court of cas-
sation is awaited with the most intense
anxiety.
