no surveillance exercised over the officers
from the month of February, since Major
Henry had affirmed at the cOurt-martial
that he had been warned ar that date
that there was a traitor among the off,
GERS. Major du Patty replied that he knew
nothing about that business. that il was
not his affair, but Major Henry's; that ii
was difficult TO watch all the officers Of
the general staff. Then, perceiving that
he had said too much, he added: we
are talking between four walls. If 1 am
questioned on all that, l shall deny every
thing" I preserved entire ealmness, for
1 wished to know the whole idea To
sum up. he said 1 had been condemned
because there was a clew indicating that
the cuIDrit was an officer and the seized
letter came TO give precision to that clew.
He added also that since my arrest the
leakage at the ministry had ceased; that
perhaps - had left the letter about ex-
pressly 10 sacrifice me. in order not 10
satisfy my demands.
He then spoke 10 me of the remarka-
BILE expert testimony OF NJ Bertillon, ac-
cording TO which I had traced my own
handwriting and that of my brother in
order to be able in case l should be ar
rested with the letter on me to protest
that it was conspiracy against me He
further intimated that my wife and fam
lily were my accomplices-in short, the
whole theory of NJ Bertillon. At this
point, knowing what 1 wanted TO dis
cover, and not wishing 10 allow him TO
insult my family as we'll ! stopped him,
saying: Enough; I have only one word
to say, namely, that / am innocent and
that your duty is to continue your in
quiries" IF you are really innocent" he
exclaimed, you are undergoing the most
monstrous martyrdom of all time I
am that martyr, I replied, "and l hope
the future will prove 1t TO you"
To sum up, it results from this con-
versation: G) That there have been leak
ages at the ministry. (2) That -- must
have heard and must have reported TO
Major Henry. that there was an officer
who was a traitor 1 do not think he
would have invented 1t of his own accord.
90 That the incriminated letter was taken
at -. From all this I draw the follow
ing conclusions. the first certain. the two
others possible: First, a spy really eX-
lists - at the French ministry. for doc
uments have disappeared. Secondly, per-
haps that spy slipped in in an officers
uniform initiating his handwriting in or
der TO divert suspicion. Thirdly (here
four lines and a half are blank. This
hypothesis does not exclude the fact No
/. which seems certain. But the tenor OF
the letter does not render this third hy-

Raleigh. " C, July 30.-There is no end

purpose to frighten the republicans as
much as possible and thus force them TO

controls, in the middle of the road, so
as to make both parties bid for its vote
in 1900 Butler wants to be sure of re-
nomination to the Senate that year, and
the question is whether the Republican
or the Democratic party can more surely
aid him to get it.
The Populist who spoke of these things
said that the Republicans are paying But
Ter more attention than they viii admit
They desire all the POpulist vote. They
are frightened now despite their boast

for the Populists the Republicans would

NEW STEEL METHODS.
Plan Which May RevoIutionize tn
Manufactre of Tools

Chicago, July So.-Chicago capitalists
are engaged in developing a new method
Of producing steel which they believe will
revolutionize the tool steel business.
Their claim is that by the process of
which they have obtained control of all
tools requiring an iron body for strength
and a steel edge or covering be produced
in one solid piece and at one-sixth the
cost of the old method.
The converting is done by chemical
process which, of course, is secret and re-
quires but six hours time, whereas the
old method it required from six to eight
weeks to convert iron pigs into steel.

Lieutenant Hobson was not hurt. All of

The news Of their wonderful escape was
sent to Rear-Admiral Sampson by Ad-
miral Cervera, the Spanish admiral being
so struck with the courage Of the Mer-
rimac's crew that he thought Admiral
Sampson should know they had not lost
their lives.
Captain oviedo, Admiral Cervera's chief

of the safety of the Merrimac's men, and
returning with supply Of provisions and

June 4-The last cable strands that bind
| Cuba to the outside world were cut this
| afternoon by cable vessel. conveyed
here by the United States dispatch gun
| boat Dolphin. The first cable picked up
was that running to Kingston. 1t was
found early this morning. The coast
loop, connecting Santiago and Guantana-
mo was first cut. Proceeding to Guanta-
namo, the Dolphin picked up and severed
the Haitien cable.
This ends the cable-cutting operations
begun a month ago.
The strands cut to-day were the only
ones remaining, except few coast loops,
and these will probably be severed in
short time.

And then every one of those pretty girls
marched up and kissed those two boys
as they leaned down from the top Of the
high fence. One OF them shrank back
"oh. kiss himw said one OF her compan-
ions, maybe you'll never see him
again." She kissed both, but there was
very red flush on her cheeks when she
turned away. The boys threw kisses, and
the girls waved their handkerchiefs until
the car was far away, and then the sol
diers climbed down and went away TO
devote many g thought to the really
pretty incident. though TO them it was
much more than pretty.
ALL HAD MANY VISITORS
All the companies had more visitors
than usual. Among those who called on
the Petersburg companies was Major F.
r. Lassiter, of that city. He was anxious
for the Fourth Regiment TO travel over
the Atlantic-Coast Line, as the Peters
burgers desired to give the boys a hur-
rah.

One Of these cases was given to each
