Troops Along the Route.

Cordially Received by Spanish
Troops Along the Route.
San Juan. Porto Rico. Sept. 5.-Gen.
Brooke, who is on his way to this city to
attend the meeting of the joint commits
sion for the evacuation of the island, of
which Commission he is one of the three
American members, arrived at Caguas
yesterday afternoon. He is expected to
arrive today at Rio Pedras, suburb of
San Juan, where he will occupy resi-
dence rendered to him by Capt Gen
Macias, before Gen. Brooke left Quay
anna. The American commander Is es-
corted by Troop II, of the Sixth Cav
airy, and Company F, of the Eighth
Infantry.
His trip across the island has been a de-
lightful one. The Spanish lines outside
of Guayama We're entered Saturday. The
Spanish troops were drawn up along the
roadside in honor of Gen. Brooke and
compliments were exchanged with their
commanding officers. At Cayey a beau
tiful town. which can be seen for miles
from the mountain road, the inhabitants
went mile out on the road to greet the
Americans and followed them as they
marched into the town. Capt. Vidal,
commanding the Spanish troops at Cay
ey walked by Gen. Brooke's horse TO the
residence assigned to him by the alcalde.
The people, though manifesting much
curiosity to see the Americans, display
ed no enthusiasm.
AT night the Spanish soldiers armed
only with bayonets, visited the camp of
the American soldiers and made friends
with them, many of the soldiers exchang-
ing buttons from their uniforms as souv-
enirS Of the occasion. No Ill feeling was
manifested by the authorities, the civil
guard even refraining. out of respect to
Gen. Brooke, from arresting a native for
abusing the Spaniards.
Similar conditions prevailed in the town
of Caguas. where Col. Rodriguez, the
commanding officer greeted Gen. Brooke.
Here, too. evidences of friendship were
displayed by the soldiers of the two ar
mics
The Spanish transatlantic line steamer
Ciudad de Cadiz arrived from Spain to-
day bearing instructions for the Spanish
members of the joint commission. She
viii sail tonight for Havana.
The steamer Notre Dame de Salud,
which arrived here from Havana, ran
aground in the channel. Commandants
Alvarado, Branderis, and OZores, thirty
six invalids. and twelve cadets intended
to take passage on her for Spain, but the
vessel is leaking and is otherwise unsea-
worthy. and consequently they will await
the arrival of another steamer.

held it under the soles of the old mans
feet. The flesh biackened and blistered.
The pain was so intense that the old man
became unconscious. This frightened the

New Orleans, Sept. 5.-The fifty skilled
artisans from New York who were en-
listed by the Government and taken To
Santiago to do carpentering construct tEDn
and who we've brought here on board the
transport Whitney, have slept on the
Morgan wharf three nights. The men
are penniIess and there is some hitch
about the Government providing them
transportation to New York, which was
the understanding. they say, when they
sailed from Santiago to New Orleans, in
stead of being sent TO New York direct
Col. Scully, the assistant quartermaster
general refuses the men transportation
on the ground that they cannot show
the necessary credentials
The Government rations which are
served them consist of such articles as
require cooking. and the men are alb
solutely helpless with such food They
sold the raw meat and flour yesterday
to some laborers and procured some hot
coffee, the first they have had since they
arrived. They are very indignant at their
treatment and say they have been tricked

PLEADING FOR HER HUSBAND.
Second Pathetic Appeal of Dreyfus'
Wife for Justice.

Wife for Justice.
Paris, Sept. 5-Madame Dreyfus' Sec
ond pathetic appeal for justice to her ex-
lied husband Is working Paris to a fever
heat. Scoffers at the second man in the
iron mask, as his friends are beginning
to style Dreyfus, are now almost on their
Devil Island
Madame Dreyfus in her latest petition
to the minister of justice says. as If ex-
tenuating her conduct. that she does
so because the law which governs such
revision does not permit me directly and
by my own agency, to invoke justice.
You, and you alone. have the right to ef-
feet revision of a judgment, bribing
with it condemnation, on the ground of
the discovery of new facts, tending to
establish the innocence of the condemned
man quite distinctly and without refer
ence to or assistance from all the reveia-
tions of many months past, which have
thrown so much light upon the judicial
error of 1894 and which have caused
such profound emotion and excitement
throughout the country.
1T Is not possible that you, above all
others should not be struck by the fol-
lowing facts: First, there Is the exanl-
nation of the bordereau, which was made
in the trial of January, of this year. the
results of this examination were not COM
municated to my counsel the council
of war refusing them access to IT. But
| have certain information that the con-
clusions drawn from this examination
were not the same as the examination
of 1884,
Nine Dreyfus refers TO the Henry con-
fessions of forgery. and asserts that IL Is
a proof that crumbles to pieces and de-
stroys the value of the dispositions wnich
convinced the judges in 1894.
She beseeches the minister to hearken TO
''the voice of public opinion, now almost
unanimous, to put an end to the suffer-
ings of an innocent man, who has always
been a loyal soldier, and who has not
ceased, even amid the tortures of an un-
merited punishment to declare his love
for the fatheriand and his faith in justice
being finally done him.
There has been some talk of calling the
chamber together This, however. ap-
pears TO be mere conjecture So far no
definite step has been taken, and in min
isterial circles 1t is even said that none
will be, as the government has decided
to assume the entire responsibility OF re-
opening the case.
Gen Renouard, the new chief of the
general staff. is reorganizing the intelli-
gence department, in which as claimed,
there have been so many abuses. He may
probably assign Col. Patty de Clam to
other duties, owing to the notoriety he
has obtained in connection with the Drey-
fus case.

The other morning Whcn ANON
.G. Bashoar came to his mill in
Franklin, be discovered a paper
tackled to the door Of his mill. The
pcmnanship was not bad, but the
spelling was very faulty. We will
give the letter publicity for all it is
worth. 1t is as follows:
"it is wonlcrfuI!woadcrtulljonc

steal thc meat stole it ccchman is

childrens meat out of their mouths
and make that poor jones can come
home to his family again nowplease
put this in the Posi- and give this
paper to cechman so that everybody
can see what peoples can do but
give jones free"
We publish the above letter not
because it deserves any consideration
in itself, but to inform the writer
that if he pities Jones and his poor
wife and children so much, he is in
a better position to give Jones his
liberty than anybody else. If his
statement is correct, he ought not to
be able to sleep a wink until he Sc
cures Mr.. Jones' release, which
power is in the writer's hands. The
author of the above letter, if he tells
the truth, is the onlyman who can
liberate Jones and ifhc will come to
this Office and give the particulars
more fully, we will promise to lib
crate Mr.. Jones. If the writer will
do his duty, he will do all he can to
liberate the innocentman as he claims
JOnesis.
