Used Dewey's Launch.

Wanton s. Webb recently returned
from trip around the world has many
interesting Incidents of that tour and
among them tells a new Dewey story
that will be appreciated. 1t will be re.
called that Assistant Engineer Dunn, one
of the officers on Dewey's flagship is
from Westerly, and the incident will il.
lustrate why Dewey's men think so much
OF him.
As a matter Of fact. the Westerly bow
is accused of being somewhat OF a favo.
rite of the admiral. Mr.. Webb saws:
Dunn had shore leave at Manila, and
as his time was nearly up, he wondered
how he was going to get back to the
Olympia on time, as discipline is strict in
such matters, and naval men make it a
point of honor to report promptly. lust
then he saw Admiral Deweys beautiful
launch. She was as white as white
paint could make her, and her brass
work shone like molten gold. Dunn
didn't hesitate, for he had to be back.
He walked aboard Of her and said
Take me back to the Ship AS he was
an officer and member of the ships
company, the men obeyed.
when he was congratulating himself
in the ward room mess for getting back
on time, some one suggested that he had
better wait to see how the admiral
would take it. At this juncture an or
DERBY came in, and delivered the message
that the admiral would like to see Mr..
Dunn in the cabin.
Dunn said it was an awkward mo-

over quizzically, and then asked. Mr..
Dunn, how long is it since you have been
an admiral in the United States service ?
poor Dunn said that he was never so
taken back in his lite. He was so en-
barrassed that he felt meaner than the
monkey that had swallowed the canary,
and had nothing to say. That will do
said the admiral ten days below decks
And then Dunn went away glad to get
out of the cabin.
"Of course all the ward room mess
said: 4 told you so, and at inspection
the formality of taking away Dunn's
sword was gone through with and he
was placed under arrest in his cabin.
Two hours later the orderly presented
himself with the message that the adj
miral would like to see Mr.. Dunn in the
cabin. Again he didn't know what was
coming.
This time Admiral Dewey had
merry twinkle in his eye. Mr.. Dunn, he
said, ] have some very important bust.

The Dewey Arch.

The arch that is being erected in Fifth
avenue at Twenty.fourth street, New
York, will be a model of artistic beauty.
The arch itself will be seventy.6ve feet
high, seventy feet wide, and thirty-hve
feet deep. With figures on top the arch
will be ninety-fve feet high.
Going up Fifth avenue to Twenty.
third street the observer will first see the
four columns which stand at either side
OF the approach to the arch proper. Be-
fore the right pillar will be a group
called THE Navy" On the Prov OF a
Dutch lugger stand two sailors. each at
a cannon. Above them stands America,
holding aloft laurel wreath and re-
versed Roman sword. The sail OF the
lugger forms a background, and over the
Prov are flags. AT the base of the
group is the motto, "Never beaten"
On the other side is group represent
ing different epochs in American military
history. The infantry is represented by
soldier of 1776, the artillery by a vet
eran OF the civil war, and the cavalry by
young second lieutenant OF volunteers
OF the Spanish war. At each
one of the columns is a figure of Victory;
each figure bears the name OF one OF
Dewey's vessels in the memorable battle
of Manila. At various parts OF the
arch are figures of Decatur, Perry, Por.
ter, Cushing, Farragut, and other naval
heroes. 1t has been proposed TO make
the arch a permanent one.

THE DREYFUS CASE.
A Compile te History

On Jan. a, 1895, while all Paris was
physically freezing, but mentally at boil
ing point, Captain Alfred Dreyfus was
degraded in the courtyard Of the Ecole
Mllltaire. The troops were drawn up in
hollow square. In the middle stood the
condemned man in full uniform. General
Darras read the finding OF the court, and
sous officer did the rest. The alleged
criminal shouted give la France!' as
each indignity was inflicted upon him.
The scene was horrible None present
VIII ever forget it. But on the boule-
wards things were worse, for there the
lowest passions of the human race were
being catered for, after the fashion of
the most degraded form of French gutter
journalism. The cutlery well served its
primary purpose, for all other troubles
were forgotten. People who had been
having an anxious quarter of an hour be-
cause Of the Panama scandals were able
to breathe freely once more and to join in
the general cutlery. And amid all the
noisy vituperations of the crowd the ex-
captain passed into exile, protesting that
he had been unjustly condemned.
Dreyfus was made lieutenant Of ar
tillery in 1882 and captain seven years

His friends had enlisted the sympathy Of
Emile Zola in his behalf. A marvellous
collector of facts is lola and genius in
relating them. He went over the evidence
carefully.
The result was the letter which star
tied France, beginning "J'accuse." He
declared that Du Patty de Clam had been
the diabolical worker of judicial horror,
that General Boisdeffre, General Gonse
and even the minister of war believed
that Esterhazy had written the bordereau,
but knowing that Esterhazy's conviction
would reopen the Dreyfus case they
would not disclose the evidence in their
possession.
ing. 1t compelled the government to
place lola on trial. Zola's conviction
was predetermined.
But the trial bore fruit. 1t showed a
brave man and true man in Colonel
Picouart, who stood before an angered
nation hurting insults upon lola, Dreyfus
and those who were arrayed on that side,
who braved even the army for truth and
justice.
Colonel Henry, who was really the
chief accuser, roared and beloved about
the honor of the army and official and
state secrecy. He and General Gonse
tried to incriminate Colonel Picquart.
1t was in this trial that the most i'm
portant piece of evidence came out the
thing which above all others led people
who were unprecedented to believe that
Dreyfus was unjustly convicted. 1t
transpred that when the captain was
put on trial all of the members of the
court martial did not believe that Drey-
fus wrote the accusing memorandum.
They hesitated to condemn him. Then it
was that General MERCER took them
aside and secretly showed them letter
in which were the following Words "Ce
canaille de D. devient trop exigeant"
(That scoundrel of D. is becoming
too exacting)
This letter was not shown to the pris-
pner or his counsel. The letter purport-
ed to have been written by Colonel Won
Schwarzkoppen, the military attache Of
the German legation.

scenes in the lola trials, the attacks

fused his aid He repeated his declara-
ton made before the court of cessation
that when he informed General Gonse
that he believed Dreyfus innocent and
Esterhazy guilty Gonse directly forbade
him to open the case, saying, "If you say
nothing, nobody will be the wiser"
Gonse was confronted with Picquart and
denied this.
Roget also confronted Picquart, who
refused to modify his testimony in the
slightest degree, and the same result was
arrived at when MERCER also faced the
lieutenant colonel. MERCER was compell-
ed to admit for the first time that he had
sent secret documents to the court mar
tial in 1894, one of which was the fa-
nous zee canaille de D" letter. He also
shocked even the members of the court
martial by the cold blooded admission
that evidence practically known to be
false was used to secure the conviction
of Dreyfus. When pressed for reply to
the question as to whether he did not
know all the time that the 80" referred
to a spy named Dubois, he hesitatingly
said, well, | had my doubts" Major
Cuignet, who was on the general staff
when Dreyfus was probationer, testi-
fed that Dreyfus once asked him to give
him the general scheme of mining rail
roads, giving as reason that he was
anxious to increase his knowledge. Cut
gnet at first refused, but finally yielded
to Dreyfus' opportunities. When the lat

major was made to contradict himself on
several important points. Dreyfus de-
nounced him in court as a liar. At this
point Major Carriere announced that
Colonel du Patty de Clam was too i'll to
attend the court martial, and an order
was issued that his deposition be taken
at his residence, thus doing away with
the possibility of cross examination. The
deposition afterward turned out to be
practically repetition of his former tes-
timony before the court of cessation.
General Boisdeffre testified that after
the arrest of Dreyfus the leakages in the
information department ceased but were
resumed later. He said that he was con-
WINGED of Drcyfus' guilt and was follow.
ed by General Gonse, who also testified
in like strain. Commandant Fabre
testified that several officers of the war
Office confirmed Dreyfus' guilt by saying
that he had sought for information on
the points mentioned in the bordereau.
Lieutenant Colonel Abouville testified in
the same strain as Fabre and Cuignet.
NJ. Cochefert, the detective who arrest
ed Dreyfus, admitted that he had believ-
ed in Dreyfus' guilt, but that his opinion

was based principally upon the "canalIe

ent when Du Patty de Clam dictated to
Dreyfus Immediately after his arrest ex-
tracts from the bordereau and said that
when Dreyfus was asked for an explana-
ton Of the trembling of his hand he re-
piled that his fingers were cold" Gribelin
admitted that he had opened Picquart's
letters by order of his superiors, and Ma

tions with the agent who brought the
