Favorable to Dreyfus.

New York, Aug. 31.-The Tribuue's
Rennes correspondent, summing up the
Dreyfus case. says:
1.-THE preponderance Of the testimony of
the handwriting experts, which closed
with the evidence of NJ. CRY, member of
the institute, is decidedly favorable for
Dreyfus, and, judging from the questions
put by Colonel Jousaust. Lieutenant
Colonel Tiorignar and Captain Beauvais,
was clearly the impression made upon the
court. OF 10 experts only three-Bertil-
Ion and his understudies, Captain Vale
rio and affirm that Lrey
fus is the author of the bordereau. Four
experts-Giry. Molinier, Meyer and Char
avay-are absolutely positive that the
bordereau is in Esterhazy's handwriting.
Two experts-Paraf-JaVal and Bernard

FIGHTING THE YAQUlS.
The Indians Have Destroyed a Mile of
Telegraph Poles.

Hermosillo, Mexico, Aug. 31--A COM
pany of volunteers went from here this
morning to PLAYA to join Colonel Pien-
ADDE'S command and arrest the Yaquis
who had destroyed the telegraph lines
to Potam. The troops met a band of
about so Yaquis and a short fight oc-
CURED, in which one soldier was killed
and the Mexicans routed
General Torres headquarters have
been entirely cut off from Geographic
communication from the outer world
for the last five days. The Yaquis
burned about mile of telegraph poles
and carried the wire away.
Volunteers continue to arrive daily in
columns of 100 or more, and a heavily
guarded pack train of mules is kept
busy conveying new guns and ammun-
ition from launches to Medano to Lau-
rim. Many of the natives who occupy
huts near the edge of town have become
so alarmed that they carry their beds
in near the heart of the puebla to pass
the night.
General Louis Torres has suspended
hostilities till October, when cooler
weather will have set in and the troops
will be better able to take care of them
selves. By that time there will be
about 5000 more soldiers in the field.

have completely demolished Bertillon's
theory and declare that the bordereau
was written in natural handwriting, not
that of Dreyfus. Pelletier also agrees
with Paraf-Javal and Bernard that it is
not in Dreyfus' handwriting. Three ex-
perts-Varinard, Belhomme and Courd-
testify that the bordereau is not in Es-
terhazy's handwriting, but decline to af-
hrm that it is Dreyfus handwriting.
"Of all the expert testimony that of M.
Moinier. professor in the School of Man
uscripts, produced the greatest effect on
the members of the court-martial, for be
sides his conclusive technical demonstra..
tons, Molinier said the involved phrase
ology and the use of unnecessary words,
which are SO apparent in the bordereau,
make it mighty improbable that it was
done by a tedious process. Measure
ments from a 'keyword' were also ridicu-
lous. Suppose that Dreyfus was the au-
thor of the bordereau. he would have
wasted the time in committing the hand
writing of Esterhazy, who was known to
be in correspondence with Schwarzhop-
pen.
'Molinier's testimony was so convincing
that General 4dercier, who, by a strange
Indulgence of the court, is allowed, to-
gether with General Roget to act prac-
tically in the capacity of counsel for the
prosecution, sprang to --ls feet and sue
ceeded in making the clerk read the evil
dence of Grener. who testified before the
court of cessation that Esterhazy had
changed his handwriting in 1897, a piece
of evidence which points all the more
strongly to Esterhazy being the real au-
thor of the bordereau and forecasts
change in the tactics of the prosecu-
ton.
Since yesterday there is a distinctly
new departure in Colonel Jousaust's
method of conducting the trial He now
directs the evidence more strictly before
the court. namely. whether or not Drey-
fus wrote the bordereau. The hearsay ev-
idence of Picot, a member of the insti-
tute. who said the Austrian attache
Cononel Schneider, told him in substance
that EsterhaZy was the real traitor, fell
fiat on the judges, although the court lis
tened eagerly to General Roget, who in
his role of junior counsel for the prosecu-
ton, made spirited little speech in be-
half of French officers as against foreign
attaches.
1.-The testimony of General Deloye, e.
rector of the French artillery, was favor
able to Dreyfus, as showing that as an
artillery officer Dreyfus would not have
made the technical blunder of referring to
the hindro-pneumatic brake of the field
gun l20-short' as hydraulic brake as the
person who wrote the bordereau did.
Gen. Deloye also showed that the oppor-
tunities to secure information enumerated
in the bordereau were common to many
officers IN the line as well as the staff
beside Dreyfus.''

The motive for the crime is supposed 10

and hid behind some bushes, where he re-

to farm, and in less than an hour after
the murder a large crowd gathered around
the home of the dead girl, and had White
