PARIS, July 2.-The Figaro pub
fishes the following letter from the
Prince of Monaco to Nine. Dreyfus:
Madame: You have with admirable
courge defended the honor of your nus
band and triumphant justice brings to
you the reparation due. In order 70 help
you to forget such suffering and Such
grief | invite your husband to come to
my Chateau de Marchais so soon as the
holy work of justice has been accom-
ward whom the conscience of humanity
turned in its anguish will honor my
house. Among the sympathy when you
receive none is more sincere and none
more respectful than mine.
The Chateau de Marchais, the au-
tumn residence of the Prince of Mo-
naco, is, says the Figaro. in Aisne De-
partment, twenty kilometers from
LaOn.
Captain Coffiniere de Nordeck, com
mander of the French cruiser StaX,
which brought Captain Dreyfus to
France, says in an interview published
that he was struck by the immense
power of self-control displayed by Cap
tain Dreyfus during the voyage. Inc
prisoners attitude throughout was
"one of irony and disdain. he had
! been suffering severely from sea SICK
ness when he was transferred TO the
SfaX, but he walked with firm tread
and during the entire trip never showed
a sign of weakness or nervousness.
Captain Dreyfus was ignorant OF the
fact that a new court-martlal awaited
him and remained in ignorance during
the first part of the voyage. When he
was finally informed not a muscle OF
his face moved. He merely said: |
have no i'll will toward anybody. L
shall be glad to re-enter the army,
which l have never ceased to love"
He did not allude to the subject
again during the voyage Most OF the
time he passed in reading.

has never yet seen him, and Nine. Drey-
fus has only obtained permission to visit
her husband thrice weekly for an hour.
His composure is the theme of all
tongues 1t seems that on the train one
of the officers began to read a newspaper,
but although Dreyfus had not seen a pa
per since he left France he did not dis
play the slightest interest: He speaks
paralysis of speech, owing to his long
silence. Even on board the SfaX he had
to communicate with the officers by writ
ing. He is credited on good authority
with the following:
My condemnation and sentence were
| the symbol of anti-JeWiSh odfum. My
Judges were involuntarily deceived. May
my undeserved expiation put an end to
ali racial or religious feuds in the army
and in that France which have passion
ately loved and served.
! Tomorrow Maitre Demange will give
him written statement of all that hap
pened and fully explain the situation.
RENNES, July mime. Dreyfus had a
third interview with her husband this
afternoon. She found him much better
He received her with smiles instead of
tears. OverdoseS of quinine while on
Devils Island left him with a serious in
digestion. He expresses himself con-
Vinced that he will be acquitted.
ATLANTA, Ga, July Mrs. Jos. T.
Eichberg of Atlanta. assisted by sew
eral leading women of this city, has
started movement to raise $4,000 with
which to purchase a fine jeweled
sword to be presented to Captain
| Dreyfus Mrs. Eichberg thinks the
| sword of the captain, which was
broken to disgrace him, should be re-
! placed by one presented by his Ameri-
! can friends and she is actively en-
! gagged in obtaining subscriptions before
ordering the sword in New York to be
! handed to Captain DreyfuS at the end
| of his trial in Rennes. Much interest
| has been aroused in the movement,
| especially among the Atlanta Hebrews,
| and there seems no doubt that funds
will be quickly raised. Mrs. Eichberg
| will ask the French Government for
| DerniSSiOn tO nreSenf the sword
