A Lucky Prophecy.

One of Moliere's comedies sets forth the
experiences of the man who was ply
stefan in spite of himself The Irishman
in the old story says that Mike is dead but
not conscious of it. The clerk of the court
of claims, Colonel Archibald Hopkins, is
wondering since last Sunday whether he is
a prophet in spite of himself and prophe-
sled on the night of November ~, last
year, without being conscious of it. Com
modore Dewey was about to start for the
Asiatc station. Some of his Washington
friends gave him farewell dinner at the
Metropolitan club on the night in question.
The colonel was there and, when his turn
came around, read these curiously pat
yerses:-
The wind is OF the shore;
And be it feast or be it fight,
We pledge the Commodore.
Through DAYS of storm, through days of calm
On board Pacific seas,
At anchor off the Isles of Palm,
or with the japanese;
Ashore, ahoat on deck. below,
or where our bulldogs roar,
To back friend or breast a foe,
We pledge the Commodore.
We know our honor II be unstained
Where'er his pennant flies
Our rights respected and maintained,
Whatever power detes.
And when he takes the homeward tack,
Beneath an Admiral's flag,
Wen haIl the day that brings him back
And have another jag
The "admirars flag" then vision, will
soon be a reality. The lag" part-well
that is a mere figure of speech Hartfor,

Matanzas lies at the head of the bay Of
the same name, about five or six miles
south of the shore batteries sheled by our
fleet, and out of the line of our fire. The
town was, therefore, in no danger from our
guns; and the reported protests of the
French and Austrian consuls stationed
there would be entirely groundless. The
stress laid upon the alleged action of the
French and Austrian representatives in
the account of the "bombardment' sent
to Madrid by Gen. Blanco makes it very
clear, however, that the Spanish govern
ment is straining every nerve to make out
case for European Intervention in its ia

CAPT. DREYFUS' CASE.
Ex-Premier Crispi Says the SEN,
tence is Initiated.
The TRIAL WAS PRACTICALLY A FARCE,
Capt. Dreyfus Was No, Faced With the
Accusations, but Condemned on Evil
denee Seen Only by the Judges
A Very Grave Affair.

RoNE. Feb. S.-Ex-Premier Crispi la:
joined the band Of eminent men who
protest against the treatment of Capt.
Dreyfus. Speaking simply as law
yer, and not as a statesman. Sig. Crispi
said:
There is not a jurist or barrister
who can approve the manner in which
the court-martial which condemned
Capt Dreyfus acted. Never in a
free country can Z prisoner
be condemned witho-: rsfrx made
acquainted with all tbs accusations
against him. and it is uEdeniable that
certain documents were submitted to
the judges only. without either Drey-
fus or his counsel being permitted to
know their contents. Whatever NAV
have been done, that irregularity can
not be made to disappear. aud the mill
tary sentence remains vitiated by the
gravest OF vices Of form sufficient to re-
quire revision of the trial.
Il am aware that there are grave
difficulties in the way of rehearing the
case and of Capt Dreyfus being brought
back from DEVILS island. But those
difficulties should be surmounted in
consideration of an error being COM
mitted.
is it possible to imagine anything
more terrible than such a condemna-
ton If undeserved?
AT any cost the weight must be
taken off the conscience OF the millions
of French people and foreigners who
think that an error may nave been
committed.
Il understand that it is a delicate
affair for the French government. es-
pecialiy at the present moment, when
there are so many black spots on the
horizon, but at the end of the nine
teenth century ideas of liberty and
justice must take precedence over all
others.
1t seems to me that the ambiguous
declaration of my friend, Herr Won Bu-
low, indicates pretty clearly that the
German government. If it is the Ger
man government that is concerned, is
not inclined to regard the matter in a
tragic light"

No communication can at present be
