the hands, but was soon followed by gen.

audience, with the exception of a few
standing at the back of the court room.
Dreyfus entered the court room soon
afterward, and having saluted the judges,
turned to NJ Labori with outstretched
hand, smile of keen pleasure lighting up
his pale and usually impassive features.
The lawyer took the prisoners hand and
shook it warmly, whereupon Dreyfus gave
him another look of gratitude and took his
seat in front of counsels table, with his
back toward them.
Col. Jouaust Is Sympathetic.
Col. Jouaust next read from a paper an
address to NJ. Labori. the tone of the presi-

made an impassioned reply. He was deeply
affected and his voice was clear, though
not so strong as before he was shot. He
was very nervous and excited. and swayed
to and fro as he delivered his reply. His
hearers were profoundly impressed.
NJ Labori's reply to the president consid-
erably fatigued him and he sat down flush

WAR IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Why 1t is Hoped That 1t VIII Soon
Come to a Close.


There is secret expression of hope in
administration circles that the war in the
Philippines is soon to come to a close This
hope is not based on the bloody prospect
Of conquest by superior force, but upon di-
plomacy, backed up by the presence and
readiness of force sufficient to crush the
rebellion. Just what hopeful signs have
been reported and the details of negotia-
tions that may have been had secretly with
natives are not disclosed, nor is the exist
ence of any prospect of a speedy termina-
ton of hostilities widely known. 1t is per-
haps too vague and uncertain at this time
to warrant more than hint on the sub
ject. The army is being increased and the
american forces in rod the ne crs1 rhlPplnes tpe res
bellion by force of arms. Yet it is said
that progress has been made in dealing
with natives possessing power and in
f1uence which warrants the hope, II not
the expectation, that the rebels will seek
peace soon after our forces are assembled
for a vigorous campaign at the close of the
rainy season. 1t is hinted that little further
resistance is expected from Aguinaldo
after it has been shown that no foreign
power will come to his rescue, and that We
are prepared with an ample force to put
down the rebellion with strong hand.
There is reason to believe that the rebel
chief Is sick of his bargain for the deliver
ance of his country" and is ready to enter
into different bargain, after one last ap-
peal to foreign governments for recogni-
ton proves failure. and after it is demon
strated, so that all rebels can realize 1t.
that the sympathy of the anti-imperialists
in this country is not potent to prevent
big army being sent to put down the rebel
lion. 1t is said that the return of volunteers
from the Philippines and the sowness with
which their places were filled were attrib-
uted by the rebels to hostility in this coun-
try to the war. Therefore, the arrival of a
large army to Join Otis forces within the
next two months will accomplish almost
as much in dspeling this Illusion as in any
other way, and it is thought, from informa-
tion at hand. that comparatively little
bloodshed will follow the close of the rainy
season.
