The second court-martial trial of
Capt. Dreyfus began at Rennes, France,
on Monday. The people of that country
are too much aroused over the farce of
the first trial to countenance a; second
miscarriage of Justice; so we may safely
depend upon the second trial to end in
substantial Justice to the accused. The
matter brought to light during the
Punishment of Dreyfus leaves little
reason to doubt his innocence of the
charges made against him.

Only Two of the JHrymen Voted
for Conviction on the First
Ballot Taken.
STONE MAKES HIM SENATOR
Friends 0yerwheim Him With Con-
gratulations on HIS Triumph Over
the Conspiracy Against Him.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, April 2i-Ma,-
thew Stanley Quay was today declared
BY jury to be not guilty Of the charge
OF conspiracy u use for his own unlawful
profit funds Of the state deposited in the
Peoples bank Of this city.
The court officers we're unable to keep
back the struggling crowd that pressed
forward to congratulate quay. when the
verdict Of the jury was announced. As
soon as Quay could get away from those
anxious TO shake his hand and congratu-
late him. he made his way TO the elevator
to descend 20 the stree, from the sixth
floor OF the municipal building. Here the
scenes just enacted in the courtroom
were repeated. Enthusiasts rushed for
ward and attempted to hoist him on their
shoulders, but he waived them back
saying, "oh, no; Pm TOO old man for
that"
Senator Quay's only comment on the
verdict was: well. I expected it" Four
ballots were taken before the final de-
cision was reached. The first ballot stood
10 10 two for acqulttal, the next two stood
Il to one, The one standing out for con-
viction by this time had very much modi-
fed his reasons for conviction. and when
the last ballot was taken he voted for ac-
Quittai. The jurors who stood out for
conviction are said to have been Charles
Pensler, shoemaker, and Edward Bev-
an, a painter.
District Attorney Rotherme was ques-
toned regarding the remaining lndict-
ments. He said there are three still pend
ing, but he would not say what his course
would be regarding them. These indict-
ments charge Senator Quay with con-
spiracy with Hopkins and Haywood, as
he was in the one under which he was
today acquitted. In the remaining in
documents he is charged with conspiracy
jointly with his son, Richard r. Quay.
This charge grew out Of the loan OF
10000 to young Quay, obtained through
the ceposit of that much state money in
the Peoples bank.
Senator Quay's lawyers say the district
attorney picked out the indictment on
which he could make the best case for
the trial just ended and he will not dare
to bring the senator to the bar again
Many political friends of Senator Quay
are urging him to bring criminal prose-
eutions against the enemies who they
claim are behind the prosecution, but
the senator will not Indicate what his
course in this respect may be.

DEWEY EXPLAINS THE
YORKTOWN EXPEDITION.
Says II Was Intended Purely to Rescue
the Besieged Spanish Soldiers
and Priests.

NEW YORK, April 2L-A dispatch to
the Herald from Manila says: Admiral
Dewey. in an Interview today, said the
expedition OF the gunboat Yorktown was
purely TO rescue the Spanish soldiers
and priests who are being besieged in
a church there. The soldiers refused
to surrender when expected to lay down
their arms by General Rios at the end
Of the Paris peace conference. Admiral
Dewey said he did not know what had
become OF Lieutenant Gilmore and the
fourteen men in the launch, They had
been sent to sound the mouth OF the
river, but went beyond the bend, out Of
sight of the Yorktown, The supposition
is they were captured or killed by the
Spanards or the 400 insurgents who
were besieging the Spanish garrison.
Admiral Dewey declines to say what
steps he would take toward punitive
expedition.
General Rios, the Spanish commander,
when interviewed, said he did not think
the garrison at Baler knew the war be-
tween the United states and Spain was
ended. He had sent an officer in January
to tell the garrison to surrender. The
garrison refused to surrender, either not
believing the officer, or fearing they
would be trapped by the insurgents
Since then General Rios had no communi-
cation with the garrison and this is the
first information that the Spanish flag is
still flying at Baler.
He thought the Americans were shot
at by the insurgents, as the Spanlards
themselves are besleged and have no way
OF getting to the river.
General Rios said that he had not been
consulted,
General OILS doubted whether the pro
posed exchange of Filipino for Spanish
prisoners would succeed, as the insur-
gents are holding the Spaniards in the
hope that It will help their cause. They
are not seeking money,

appeal to Agulnaldo said the Spanish
prisoners would create bond of SYM
