WANTS TO RAISE THE MAINE.
San Francisco Wrecking Company Asked
for Authority to Make the Attempt.

San Francisco Wrecking Company Asked
for Authority to Make the Attempt.
Washington d. c., October 2S.-The
Acme Wrecking Company of San Fran
cisco. has made a request upon the
Navy Department for authority to raise
the battleship Maine. The company has
had experience in raising vessels on the
Pacific coast and representations have
been made to the Department as to its
ability to accomplish the task in Havana
harbor. 1t proposes to blow the mud
from under the wreck by means Of
streams of water and then to pass chains
under and attach them to framework
connected with n system of steel bar
rels. These barrels will also be placed
in the wreck and utilized wherever they
can be made available. The company
simply asks authority to raise the Maine
and bring her to this country. If the
Government wants the ship after she
reaches the United States. the COM
pany will want to be paid salvage money
through condemnation proceedings. 1t is
probable in case the Government did
not want the ship, the company would
exhibit her in different large seacoast
cities of the United States. No money
is demanded from the Government by the
company. 1t is stated at the Department
unoffcially that in case the company is
found reliable the authority will no
doubt be given.

THE DREYFUS CASE
MADAME DREYrUs' COUNSEL URGES IN.
VESTIGATlON.
Pubic Prosecutor Says Court Must Fix tn,
Pespo1sib ity. If Dreyfus is Innocent,
the Gu lily Must be Punished

Paris, Oct 2S.-At to-days session of
the Court of Cessation, NJ. Bard, the re
porter, concluded his report of the Drey-
fus case. He said that the court should
make every investigation necessary to
enlighten them and place the whole
truth in evidence.
NJ. Mornard. counsel for Madame
Dreyfus urged that an investigation be
ordered concerning the divergency of the
testimony of the experts who eXamncl
the Bordereau in 1891 and 1897, and
also to ascertain whether secret docU-
ments were communicated TO the mem
bers of the court martial.
The public prosecutor, Nj. Manau, said:
Nobody can now take the Dreyfus
affair out of your hands, nor can you re-
linquish it without dereiiction of duty.
Your decision must constitute for every
body the expression of truth and justice.
Revise the trial. then, gentlemen. or N
least prepare the road for its revision. "
NJ. Manau declared the court could not
annul the sentence imposed upon Drey-
fus without retrial of the prisoner.
He added, ''you must FIX the responsib IL
ty. If Dreyfus is innocent, the culpr :
must not go unpunished.'
NJ. Manau also suggested that Major
Esterhazy should testify ON the subject
of the Bordereau. and concluded with
denouncing 1.-The villa attacks on
the pariisans of revision, and made Il
strong plea that the court be not in
fiuenced by outside pressure, but that it
decide in favor of Il revision Of the ease
and the Immediate provisional liberation
of Dreyfus.
At this stage of the proceedings Nj.
Bard read letter from General Come
to the President of the Court of Ccssa-
ton, in which the General said:
II have just heard of memorandum
introduced in court yesterday in which
picquart accused me of a dishonorable
action. | have never previously heard OF
this memorandum. and | wish to deny
most forcibly Picquart's allegations.
think my word is of greater value than
that of man imprisoned on the suspic-
ion of forgery
The reading of the last statement call
ed forth loud protests in court. The re-
porter added that as Colonel Picquart's
memorandum was publicly read, it was
only justice to read General Comes de-
NAL. l
The President of the court ordered that
the Generals letter be added to the docu-
ments in the case, and the court add
journed.

AS TO SPANISH DELAY
II is THOUGHT NO MORE WILL
BE MADE.
THEY SEE THAT LONG DEBATE IS FUTILE
Administration Looks for an Early Settlement
of Every Question Now. Cuba's Nun
icipal Bonds viii Without
Doubt be Paid.

Washington, ID. c., October 2S.-The
President was enabled to lay before til,
Cabinet to-day very encouraging report,
from Paris regarding the progress of the
peace negotiations. The Administration
now fully believes that the negotiations
will be concluded much sooner than was
expected a few days ago.
The uselessness of prolonged debate
has become apparent to the Spaniards
and it is now believed the Philippine dis
cussion will be, less protracted than ex-
pected some days ago. The recent ac-
ton of the United States Government
in intimating that the negotiations We're
proceeding much too slowly has had its
effect upon the Spanish commissioners
and they are not likely TO debate re-
manning propositions to the length that
they did the settlement of the Cuban
debt.
The United States has not assumed
nor guaranteed the so-called municipal
debt of Cuba or Cuban municipalities,
but it is expected that such debts will
be paid by the municipalities mourning
them, for by no reasoning could they be
charged upon Spain. Our Government.
it is said in official circles. would look
upon any attempt at eyading the pay
ments Of such debts as dishonest, and
whatever government is established in
Cuba will be expected 10 see that these
obligations are carried out in good faith.
Moreover, some of the bonds of Cuban
municipalities are held by citizens of
the United States, and the United States
might insist that the investments of her
citizens in such securities are made
good. The State Department has no
information as to the amount of these
municipal liabilities.
Attorney General Griggs and Secre-
taries Gage and Long, on account of
their absence from the city. were not
present at to-day's Cabinet meeting Sec
rotary Hay said that the Cuban ques-
ton had not yet, as he understood. been
finally decided by the Paris commission,
but "A complete settlement, it was ex-
pected, would be reached by the end
of the present week. The Philippine
question, he thought, would be taken up
by the joint commission early in the
coming week. Although the members
of the Cabinet are extremely reticent
on the subject of the acquisition OF the
Philippines, there is now little or no
doubt that nothing less than the cession
of the entire group of islanGs will be
accepted by the American commissioners.

MUST LEAVE FASH0DA
MARCHAND MUST GO WITHOUT
CONDITIONS-AID PROMISED.
BEARS SHADOW DAEKeNS THE FUTURE
Russia, It is Now Believed, will Soon Endeavo
to Bring the Whole Egypt Que;-
ton to the Front for Set
Element.

London, Oct 2S.-There does not seem
to be the slightest ground for the report
of yesterday that the British Cabinet
has decided to declare the protcctoratc
of Great Britain over Egypt. 1t was
based solely on London dispatch to the
Paris Soir.
The Pail Mall Gazette summarizes the
result of the meeting of the Cabinet as
follows:
/. Marchand must be withdrawn I'M
conditionally, and no undertaking or
promise can be given to discuss the ques-
ton raised by France i'll regard to ac-
cess to the Nile and such like.
=. When Marchand is Withdrawn it
will be determined whether the questions
raised admit of discussion and under
what conditions the discussion can be
proceeded with.
3. Every possible facility will be af-
forded to assist in Marchand's with
drawal by whichever route. selected.
4. If Marchand is not withdrawn,
there viii be no interference with his
remaining at Fashoda nor date fixed
for his withdrawal. NECESSARILY rein
forcements will not be permitted to reach
him. He will be treated courteouSly as
n foreign visitor, and will be regarded
in no other light.
). Therefore it is left to France to
adopt any active measures to precipitate
a conflict.
The Pail Mall Gazette adds that it
has good reason to believe that while
Russia has counselled France to tide
over the difficulty and avoid war, she
has promised to throw her weight in the
scale at no distant date, for the pur-
pose of bringing the whole Egyptian
question and the British occupation of
Egypt to the front for settlement.
MARCHAND COMES TO CAIRO.
Cairo, Oct. 2S.-Major Marchand ar
rived at Khartoum to-day. 1t is said
the Major deemed it necessary to per-
sonaly bring to Cairo the unfinished
portion of his report of his explorations.
Captain German was left in command
of the French mission at Fashoda
Major Marchand will start for Cairo
tomorrow.
As the other Frenchmen remain at
Fashoda, Major Marchand's departure
from there is not regarded as a settle
ment OF the question as to possession of
that place which is in dispute between
Great Britain and France.

New York, Oct. 2S.-A news bureau
says:
"A syndicate has been organized for

Plug Tobacco Company business and as
sets pertaining thereto, the American
Company retiring from the business Of

sThe-output of plug tobacco of the differ
