Paris, Sept. 2.-Nothing can describe
the stupefaction Of Paris yesterday
morning. Even the cars disarma-
ment proposition is forgotten. In fact,
war, not peace, is in the air. So much
ink has been used, so much passion let
loose over the Dreyfus affair that
even the warmest partisans of each
side seemed about tired of the whole
matter.
And just when things reached this
stage bomshell has burst. This is the
arrest of Col. Henry, who acknowl-
edges he is the author Of the letter that
virtually convicted Dreyfus. You will
remember the dramatic scene during
the first lola trial when Henry, with
trembling voice, referred to his years
Of service in Algiers which have left
him with an incurable malarial fever.
This same man, who seemed the very
personitication of integrity and who
made such an impression on the public
in court, is now by his own confession
the forger of a document intended to
of his arrest only leaked out after
midnight. 1t appears that Col. Pic
quart, who has been Il strong supporter
of Dreyfus's innocence, has laid before
Nj. Cavaignac, minister of war, evil
dence which the law of professional
secrecy prevented him from making
publicly known.
Cavaignac would seem to be con-
WINGED of the possibility of judicial
error since his return. He has Gues-
toned one after another of the officers
whose names have been prominent
during the Dreyfus discussion. Yes
terday morning he summoned Col.
Henry to his office in the war depart
ment building. Gen. Roger, chief Of
the military cabinet, was present ut
the interview. Col. Henry was ques-
toned upon the way in which this too
famous letter came into his hands.
Pressed to the wall, he finally made
complete confession. trying at the
same time to show how necessary it
was at that moment to accumulate
proofs of Dreyfus' guilt.
NJ. Cavaignac is said to be Frustrated
by the discovery. 1t is not astonishing
in view Of the attitude NJ. Cavaignac
has taken in the matter of the declara-
ton he made no longer ago than july
8, when he said he was absolutely con-
WINGED Of the guilt of Capt Dreyfus.
One of the things which led him to
this conviction was the very letter
Which Col. Henry now admits he had
forged. At any rate, what appears
clear in the whole matter is that the
Dreyfus trial will have to be revised.
Every time that Nine. Dreyfus has
made demand for the reopening of
the case it has been pointed out to her
that she produced no new evidence.
This confession of Col. Henry that he
forged one of the most important docu-
ments will surely be found sufficiently
strong to warrant retrial for Drey-
fus.
Later - Col. Henry has committed
suicide.

Washington, Sept. 3.-Surceon Con-
eral Sternberg sent the following letter.
to a New York medical nubl;shine
house, which had made INQUIRIES of
him concerning the conduct of the war
with respect to the medical depart-
ment, and especially about the subject
OF having an immediate investigation
OF his bureau. He said:
Il am ready at any moment for q
complete investigation with respect to.
my administration of the affairs of the
medical department; but the war de-
paftment Is not disposed to favor any
investigation as the result of sensa-
tlonal newspaper articles. There is at
present an evident craze to criticisa
without regard to foundation or ius-
lice. L have no doubt there will be Il
congressional investigation into the.
conduct of the war; but do not feel
at liberty at present to insist upon any
investigation for my own vindication.
because 1T would he contrary to the in
terests of the service. 1t would make
1t necessary for me to give up all the
important official work, which at Tres
ent almost overwhelms me, for the pur-.
pose of devoting myself to the presen-
tatlon of the facts relating to nv adj
mlnlstration. 1t would make it neces-
sary to take clerks away from their
daily tasks in order to look up the doc
umentary evidence on file in my Of
fice, and in the meantime important
matters would be necessarily neglected
and the sick in all parts of the country
would suffer. 1t would make it neces-.
sary to call upon the medical officers
who are now urgently needed for the
care of the sick in our various camps
and hospitals to come to Washington
as witnesses, and all this to satisfy the
clamor of Irresponsible newspaper re-
porters. There has been no official
complaint with reference to my adj
ministration Of the medical depart
ment.

During the last outbreak of cholera

placed upon the native converts. One
aristocratic Korean came to the hos

something he could do. There is
nothing now except to mop floors"
was the gentle reply; though that is
continually needed" The native turn

Retiring Volunteers Will BE Given n
Chance.
Washington, Sept. 3. - In order to
keep the regular army up to the maxi
mum of 61,OO0 men the war depart
ment will have recruiting officers at
all stations at which the volunteers are
mustered out with a view of giving
the men an opportunity to enlist in the
regular army. The time which they
have served in the volunteer service
will be allowed them as part of the
continuous service in the regular
branch. 1t is estimated that the regu-
lar army is some four or five thousand
below the maximum fixed by the bill
which provided for the increase of the
regular force when the war began.
