HENRY's FoRGEDLETGER
Was Largely Instrumental in Convicting
Captain Dreyfus.

Paris, April 25.-According to the Temps
a member of the Dreyfus courtmarial
named Freystactter testifying before the
court of cessation yesterday declared that
it was the evidence given by lieutenant
Colonel Henry, who afterwards confessed
that he forged a letter that was'Aargaly in
strumental in preventing a revision of the
Dreyfus case and cut his throat in prison,
which decided the courtmartial to convict
Dreyfus and that the only document pro-
,duced in the presence of the prisoner was
the bordereau
The Temps adds that another witness
named Lupine who was also EXAMINED by
the court of cessation, dwolt on the impor-
lance of Colonel Henry's evidence, and tes-
titled that the inquiries which the, police
were instructed to make at the time re-
suited in utterly refuting the stories to the
effect that Dreyfus had squandered money
on cards and women.
The court of cessation had decided by a
large majority to confront Colonel Picquart
with General Roe<B. 1t has also been de-
cided to make a further examination of
Colonel Du Patty de Clam and to investi-
gate the Panizzardi teleAam.

SOLDIERS KICK
ON TRUST METHODS
Object to Pooling Arrangement
of the Railroads.

Savannah Ga, April 25.-The railroads
entering here recently reached an agree
ment to apportien the transportation OF
the mustered-out troops.
Today it went into effect, and the first
regiment to be moved under the arrange
ment was tho One Hundred and Slxtieth
Indiana. The Florida Central and PENN
sular was designated to do the business.
Many of tho eX-soldiers positively refused
to be governed by the arrangement of the
railroads and demanded the right to travel
by whatever line they pleased. At the de-
pots of the Central of Georgia, the Georgia
and Alabama and the Plant System they
refused to sell the soldiers tickets.
At the Central depot, from which the
Florida Central trains leave, there was al
most an incipient riot. An extra force Of
police and provost guards had to be put
into service to maintain order. Tt was re-
ported that one man had been killed, but it
proved that he had only been knocked
senselesS by the butt of a gun by a provost
guard.
As a final outcome the Central of Georgia
was obliged to take two companies and
number of stragglers, and the Georgia and
Alabama to take two companies. Any OF
the men, it is understood would not buy
tickets by any train when they learned of
the pooling arrangement, but announced
that they would leave town on freight
trains. ''And your crews had better be
mighty good to US, too" they warned the
road agents, "or We will throw them off. ="

Colonel Funston said afterwards:

General Hale's troops on the right had

First Nebraska regiment on the left and

Iowa regiment beyond

the Chico, branch of the Bagbag. stretch
ing to the northeast. The general himself
plunged in up to the neck and the regi-
ments, all carrying flags, houndered across
the stream. The guns of the Utah Light
Artillery were dragged over next, and
formed an extended line to advance upon
the trenches before Calump;t, from which
the Filipinos were pouring continuous vol
leys.
The armored cars had one man killed and
two. wounded The Kansas regiment had
three wounded during the fight, and the
Utah Light Artillery one killed and two
wounded. 1t seems as If the other casual
ties hefell the South Dakota regiments.
It is difficult to estimate the insurgents
losses but they are no fewer than seventy
killed, many of them by tho artillery.

LOSING IMPORTANCE
Coghlan's Case Will Not Amount to
Much, After All

Washington, April 25-It is the impress
sion today that the case of Coghan is los
ing Importance as the days pass and his
action is viewed in a more considerate
light.
A high official whose advice would have
much to do with shaping the fate of Cap
tain Coghlan, said that in his opinion, the
needs of the case would be completely met
by a sharp letter of reprimand addressed
to him by the navy department if the cap
tain admitted he was correctly reported.
The German ambassador has not COM
municated with the state department on the
subject since yesterday, and 1t is believed
that the German government is now content
to await the action of the navy department
without further pressing the matter. The
view was expressed at the German en-
bassy today that the Coghlan affair was
practically ended and with the administer
ing of a reprimand by the navy department
the incident would be closed.
The German ambassador has received a
large numbef of letters expressing regret
and disapproval of the Coghlan incident.
These came not only from German Ameri-
cans but from representative Americans,
who depfore the straining of international
relations by comparatively trivial acts OF
individuals.

take the Charge of sending and of receiv-
ing the addresses of sympathy which will
be exchanged between countries and which
win have to be distributed to ali places
in the country where meetings Will be ar
ranged in time that they may all read

to sixteen or eighteen, and will have to be
forwarded to the different meetings in

WASHINGTON ON
NEWMAN AFFAIR
Negro Educator Talks of the
Lynching of Hose,
CURE FOR SUCH OUTRAGES
The Root of the Evil is the Negroes
Lack of Education, and This
Is First to Be REM
di d.

Philadelphia, April 25.-Booker t. WASH
ington, founder and principal of the Tus-
lzegee Normal and Industrial Institute in
Alabama, who arrived here today, was
questioned regarding the Georgia lynching.
He said:
II would like to speak at length upon
these Georgia occurrences and others of a
like nature, which have taken place in re-
cent years, but In view of my position and
stitute and the education of our people,
feel constrained to keep silent and not en-
gage in any controversy that might react
the work to which [ am now lending my
efforts.
81 think can be of more service to the
race by giving my time and strength in
helping to lay the foundation for an odu-
cation which will be the permanent cure for
such outrages.
81 don't mind adding" said the speaker,
that l am opposed to mob violence under
all circumstances. Those guilty of crime
should be surely, swiftly and terribly pun
ished, but by legal methods. AS a rule the
men guilty of these outrages are ignorant
individuals who have had no opportunity
to secure an education and moral restraint.
1.-THE solution of our present difficulties
is to be found in the thorough mental, re-
ligious and industrial education of both
races in the south. 1t is an encouraging
fact to note that of the hundreds of colored
men who have been educated in the higher
institutions of the south not one has been
guilty of the crime of assaulting a wo-
man."

HIS REMARKS WERE GARBLED
Newspapers Made Him Say Things He
Dida't Say.
NOW PRACTICALLY ENDED
Captain Coghlan Will Shortly Retire
Through the Regular Channel, and
the Navy Department is In
clined to be Lenient, =

Washington, April 25.-At the cabinet
meeting today the recent utterances of Cap
tain Coghlan of the cruiser Raleigh We're
informally discussed. Secretary Long said
he had received a letter on the subject
from Captain Coghlan.
The captain dlsclaimed any intention of
insulting the German emperor or Admiral
Won Diederichs, and his remarks on the
occasion of the Union League banquet were
made in the most informal manner in the
company of friends, without any thought
that they would be repeated in the public
press. AS they did appear, he said, they
were exaggerated and distorted, and he was
made to say things which he did not utter.
He claims that under the circumstances
his remarks should be regarded as privi-
legged.
After the cabinet meeting adjourned Sec
rotary Long and Secretary Hay remained
a short time with the president to further
discuss the matter. 1t is understood that
the captain will soon retire from the SER
vice through the regular channel, and it is
thought in view of this fact, and, further,
that he rendered distinguished service at
the naval engagement at Manila, the naval
authorities will show him as much consid-
Grafton as is consistent with naval disci-
pine.
McKinley's to Visit the HALE gh
According to arrangements made some
days ago for the presidents visit TO Phila-
delphia, he will go aboard the Raleigh next
Friday morning special compliment
to Captain Coghlan. Whether under the
circumstances, that part of the program
will be changed cannot now be stated.
With a large war department map before
them, the members of the cabinet traced
the positions of the American soldiers and
the Filipinos near Calumpit. Secretary AL
ger pointed out what was intended to be
accomplished. The secretary is rather
hopeful that the Filipinos will not be able
to elude the American forces this time. He
believes that If d large part of Aguinaldo's
army could DO captured the termination Of
the fighting might be near.
A cabinet officer said this afternoon that
the cabinet has at no time discussed the
subject of the future disposition of the
Philippines. ut is the present we are
thinking Of" he said, land there are not
the slightest intention of deviating from .he
present programme. l believe 1t is the
unanimous feeling of the cabinet that Moth
ing shall be decided as to the future status
of the islands until we have placed them
satisfactorily under the control of the
United States"
He said that every dollar and every man
necessary to bring the island under The
domination of this country would be used.
When the insurgents have recognized tho
power of the United States the question of
their future will be taken up and discussed

MODERATE IN TONE
German Press Does Not Speak Harsh
ly of Captain Coghlan.

Berlin, April 25.-The German press con-
tinues to maintain a moderate tone regard
ing the utterances of Captain Coshlan. The
Neuste Nachrichten and the Frankfurter
Zeitung confess that 1.-THE American sailors
had certain amount of justification for
irritation at the presence of German men,
of-war at Manila"
The Franl1furter Zeitung says that it was
not the German foreign office, but Emper-
or William, who was responsible for the
Righteousness of the German squadron
One journal which has lately publishsd
violent articles against Great Britain and
the United States acknowledges with great
readiness ''the civility of the United States
government in robbipg Captain Coghlan's
tactless invective of all offensiveness and
political Significance"

Advices received here from Bluefields,
Nicaragua, by the steamer Jarl state that
pandemonium reigned in that city on the
night of April u.s. Drunken native soldiers
paraded the streets firing lat inoffensive
citizens and into houses. Several persons
were wounded.
General Torres served notice on the
American merchants that unless they paid
the duties demanded, by night, he would
close up their places of business and con-
fiscate their receipts. The merchants held
a meeting and decided to close their stores.
The doors were locked and sealed and the
American flag hoisted over each. The con-
sequence was that when the Jar left there
was not an American doing business in
Bluefields.

that he had published degrading, ground

Cannot Repeal, Says Fits
Hon. William c. Fits, ex-attorney-gen-
eral, was in Birmingham yesterday and very
clearly expressed his opinion on the ques-
ton which has arisen. Mr.. Fits is clearly
of the opinion that the general assembly
cannot repeal the act calling a consttu-
tional convention He says their action
was merely a suggestion and did not re-
quire even the signature of the governor.
IF the act could be repealed at all" said
Mr.. Fits, sit could be done after the con-
vention had met now. The legislature
has done its part and now its power Is
exhausted.
Solicitor Charles w. Ferguson who has
thoroughly Investigated the matter agrees
with the opinion of Mr.. Fits and Senator
Morgan. He said last night:
1.-The general assembly has clearly no
right to repeal the call submitting the
question of new constitution to the peo
pie. Having submitted the call it has ex
hausted its powers This position is clear
and tenable."
p. G. Bowman: al have not investigated
the question, but speaking off hand should
think the legislature can undo any thing it
has done. If the thirty-three delegates
from the state al large had been nominated
in primaries and no state convention held,
there never would have been any trouble"
