Luggage Received at Liverpool Would
Indicate That Dreytus Family
is Coming to America.

Paris. Sept. 21.-The Journal Oficiel
today publishes the decree granting
pardon to Dreyfus. In a report preced-
ing the decree the Marquis De Galifet
minister OF war. points out that Drey-
fus has already undergone five years
deportation with FIVE years solitary con-
finement, the prisoner would have to
undergo ten years detention. The min
lister also calls attention to the.fact that
the health of the prisoner is seriously
compromised and that he would not be
able without great danger to undergo
prolonged detention.
The report of the war minister con-
cludes thus: The government Will not
have met the wishes of the country
which desires pacifcation iss 1t does not
hasten to efface all traces Of the pain
full conflict. 1t belongs TO you, M. lie
President by an act of lofty humanity
to give the first pledge of the work OF
which opinion demands
and the good of the republic commands.
