GEN. ANDERsON's OPINION.

Philippine Rebellion Will BE QueIl-
ed by the End of the Dry Season.
Washington. Aug. 27.-Brig. Gen. r.
NJ. Anderson. commanding the depart
ment of the lakes, was at the war de-
partment yesterday. Gen. Anderson
commanded the first body of troops
sent to the Philippines and spent con-
siderable time in the islands, returning
to the United States to remain for the
present. His opinion is that the pres
ent rebellion will be brought to a
close by the end of the next dry season.
This can be accomplished, he believes,
y sharp and decisive campaign, and
" taking prompt advantage of every
forward step gained by the American
forces. With an army kept up to an
effective fighting force of 10000 to so
600 men, Gen. Anderson thinks there
will be no great difficulty in clearing
out the rebels and bringing about their
surrender The general believes the
acquisition of the Philippines will be
of considerable value to the United
States, for aside from their great pro-
ductiveness, they will form halfway
place and distributing point for future
trade operations between this country
and Asiatic points.

MUNITIONS OF WAR.
Enormous COnsignments Are Being
Shipped to Blomenfontain.

Enormous COnsignments Are Being
Shipped to Blomenfontain.
London, Aug. 26. - The Cape Town
correspondent Of the Daily Mail says:
Despits the virtual blockade Of war
material in Delagoa bay, the Cape
government is sending enormous con-
signments of munitions of war to
Blomenfontein. During the present
month over 100000 cartridges have
been sent and 500 rifles were dis
patched last night from Port Elizabeth
to Blomenfontein. In addition to this
the Cape ministry, While absolutely de-
clining to arm the volunteers of the
colony, continues to afford other facil-
tiles to the Orange Free State to arm
it's burghers just across the water,
freely granting the use Of the colonial
railways for the distribution of cart
ridges from the Blomenfontein arsenal
to the border towns. The patience Of
the people is becoming exhausted, and
unless the imperial government acts
quickly and decisively the greatest
danger may ensue to British prestige.

Loses Her Right Foot.

was run down by Maria avenue car
at Seventh and Olive streets ~!y
yesterday morning and had her right
foot cut off at the ankle. The foot was
amputated at st. Luke's hospital. She
was running across Seventh street just
as two cars were approaching from op-
posite directions. The little girl saw
her danger and began to run faster to
pass ahead of the car. She had crossed
the tracks and seemed out of danger,
but somehow was struck by the car
going east and knocked down. Her
right foot came under the front wheel
and was almost severed from the leg.

Change In War Department Admin

New York, Aug. 26.-Gen. Nelson A.
Miles said to the Philadelphia CORE
spondent Of the Tribune.
''rhe new secretary of war is man
of business. A a result very different
conditions already exist. The inter-
esrs of the country have demanded
vigorous prosecution of the war in the
Philippines; now they will have it.
know nothing about change of com
manders on the islands. My command
of the army has nothing to do with adj
ministration. AS major general COM
handing, am responsible for the
health and discipline Of the army.
Both are in excellent condition. Gen.
Otis is a fine officer. That has been
demonstrated by the splendid morale
of the army; it's health and it's eff
cheney in the field in the Philippines.
The inadequate force to meet the re-
quirements has been the cause of
somewhat abating the results which
have been achieved. Our army, not
withstanding the vast superiority of
the enemy in numbers, has been VIC
torious in every engagement. The
army may be large and valiant enough
to defeat an enemy quadruple its size,
but it takes additional force to hold the
towns in an enemy's country and to
cover lines of communication. About
20 per cent of our army under present
conditions is inactive, owing to various
duties about the camps, in hospitals,
transportation, sickness and otner
causes. Much embarrassment has been
occasioned by the supplying of the
enemy with food and munitions OF
war by their friends in Manila and
Hongkong, not to speak of encourage
ment from their friends in the United
States. 1t is di cult to discriminate
in the enemy's country between non
combatants, friends and foes"

Ocean Groves Aug. q. - President
Mckinley, in am address here, said:
II believe there is more love for our
country. and that more people love the
flag than ever before. Wherever that
flag is raised it stands not for despot-
ism and oppression, but for liberty, op-
pcrtunity and humanity, and what
that flag has done for u.s. we want it
to do for all people and all lands
which. by the fortunes of war, have
come within it's jurisdiction. That
flag does not mean one thing in the
United States and another in Porto
Rico and the Philippines. There has
been some doubt in some quarters re-
speeding the policy of the government
in the Philippines. l see no harm in
stating it in this presence. Peace,
first. and then, with charity for all, es-
taSlish government of law and order,
protecting life and property and occu-
patton for the well-being of the people
who will participate in it under the
Stars and Stripes

Rennes, Aug. 25.-The session of the
court yesterday was comparatively I'M
eventful. The dispositions were not
productive of any really thrilling Incl
dents. The systematic production of
the tiimsisst trash, which the prosecu-
ton deems profitable to inflict upon
the judges and which the latter accept
as evidence was proceeded with. Much
of the ridiculous testimony of the
morning was devoted to an attempt to
blast Dreyfus' private character,
though when Maitres Labori and De-
mango had finished with the witnesses
their bubbles of tittle-tattle were
pricked. Much of the time was occu-
pied in reading the testimony Of Ester
hazy and Mile Pays before the court of
cessation, during which many of the
audience left the court.
Nj. Labori again distinguished him.
self in laying bare the weak points Of
the evidence. He was less fierce,
however than Tuesday, but quite ag-
gressive enough to arouse the latent
hostility of the judges, which showed
itself in various little ways. During
some of the dispositions NJ. Labori ap.
peared very nervous. He was unable
to remain still an instant, twitching
his fingers and shaking the papers in
his hand. Counsel was almost too i'm
patient to wait till the witnesses con-
scluded their testimony.
The only dangerous opponent Of
Dreyfus yesterday was Gen. Gonse,
who mounted the stage with a firm
step and apparently light heart. But
he left it badly mauled by NJ Laborf.
Gen. Gonse began by declaring he
came to defend his honor against those
'drivelling" against him. But when
his cross-examination was finished he
returned to his seat like whipped cur,
for NJ. Labori had driven him into a
corner on the attempts Of the general
staff to shield Esterhazy, and had
shown that the general staff, for which
-Gonse was responsible, had engineered
EsterhaZy's escape from the hands of
justice. The confident tones Of the
general had by then dwindled into the
proverbial still small voice, and his
defiant bearing had changed into an
-abashed air of the school boy caught
telling a lie.
The day proved certainly poor one
for the general staff. Two good samples
of the men put up to sully Dreyfus'
private character were the third and
fourth witnesses.
First Maj. Du Chatlet repeated an
alleged conversation with Dreyfus re-
garding lady at whose house Drey-
fus is alleged to have gambied and lost
money. But when cross-examined Du
Chatlet's memory failed him entirely,
and particularly when asked the nome
of the lady and the street she resided
in and the sum Dreyfus lost. Next M.
De Breuil showed equally astounding
forgetfulness of important points Of
his evidence concerning Dreyfus ac-
,quaintance with foreign attache, and
when NJ. Demange capped his success
full examination of those points by
promising to show that De Breuils
record in the law courts is far from
clean, the witness left the stand badly
diScredited.
