Washington, July 12.-Secretary Alger to
day made to representative of the Asso-
ciated Press his first personal statement
concerning the reports that he is about
to resign from the cabinet.
When asked as to the truth of the ru-
mors, the secretary said:
"What do you mean exacuy?"
Il mean to ask whether or not the stories
that you are to retire from the cabinet In
the near future are true?'
There is nothing in these reports but
air" replied the secretary. q shall not
retire this year, certainly. and cannot say
as ia the future My private business
and the state of my health win govern
my future course.
These constant assaults and repeated
baseless reports are, Of course, very an
noying TO me and extremely distressing to
my family, but I have never yet retired
under fire and do not propose TO do so
now. Nothing that l have ever heard OF
or known of has been so cruel as these

TELLS WHY HE WAS CONFINED.
Lebon Says II Was Reported Ameri-
cans Would Rescue Dreyfus.

Paris, July I'm. Lebon, the former
minister of the colonies has addressed a
long letter to the government in reply 10
the charges of Louis Havet, member of
the French Institute, who accompanied
Madame Dreyfus TO Rennes and who all
leges that Dreyfus was cruelty treated
in his island prison. The former minister
saws that no one in 1895 questioned the
justice Of the verdict Of the Dreyfus court
martial; that in September, 1896, it was
reported that an American vessel was
about to rescue the prisoner, and there
was some talk among the warders as to
the possibility of his escape.
Hence NJ. Lebon became solicitous for
the safety of the prisoner and ordered
Dreyfus to be confined in his hut with
double-lOcked doors, but with a sentinel
inside until it was surrounded by a pals
ade, when the hut might be opened. The
building of the palisade occupied longer
than was expected, but no harm to the
health of the prisoner was reported. NJ
Lebon denies tamperihg with the corre-
spondence of Dreyfus.
