"A startling Theory.

London. Sept. l9.--David Christie
Murray publishes in morning paper a
story regarding the Dreyfus affair. The
author vouches for the truth OF the story
but declares he can not disclose the source
from which he obtained his information.
The article states in part that Dreyfus
was engaged as spy in the employ OF
a secret department of the French army
against those suspected Of tratficking
With Germany and other powers. His
zeal, so the story goes, led him to become
the victim of revenge on the part OF
Colonel Henry, Count Esterhaay and
Colonel Patty du Clam, who themselves
were concerned in the reasonable prac-
tees.

was at first thought that the army OF
occupation would be composed entirely of
volunteers, but the war department con-
siders it advisable to have few regi.
ments of regulars included. This will give
the volunteer forces the benefit of the
regulars experience, and in very short
time they will become seasoned and eN-
perienced troops.
| just what troops will take part in the
occupation of Cuba has not yet been de-
cided, but the splendid condition and sit
uation for such an expedition OF General

that great portion OF the volunteer
troops will be taken from that corps. Ii
this is done. three Illinois regiments who
are in Lees command will be sent to

uted over a greater portion of the island
