several Of the notes, in order to satisfy
foreign embassy, the situation was
undoubtedly grave and he forthwith
requested Gen. MERCER to cease the
prosecution of the affairs under the
ruling circumstances. But Gen. Mer-
cier was obdurate and the affair pro-
ceeded.
The former minister of foreign affairs
denied that he had told M. Monod that
| he believed Dreyfus was guilty. He
was astounded at M. Monod's state
ment, but the latter was evidently
hazy, as he had given three versions of
the conversation. NJ. Demange inquired
whether NJ. HanotaGx was aware OF the
uncertainties which the translation OF
the telegram dated Nov. 2, 1895, caused.
The former foreign minister replied
that uncertainty was the rule in such
cases. He was only aware of the one
drawn up in the foreign office, which
alone was communicated to the war
minister

former minister of foreign affairs, had
testified the court adjourned at noon

listened to closely, but the session was
utterly devoid of any exciting incident

Dreyfus, and lack of criticism owing
to loss of the defense leader. Gen,

Two Slow Classes Were
Trotted In First
DAVIS Race.

Portland Me-, Aug. 1.-THE opening
day at Rigby was full of interest, al
though the program did not seem to offer
anything especially select, as there were
but two events on the card, and both of
them slow classes. The features of the
opening day were the suspension of a
driver and the marking of two green
trotters. The attendance was fair and
the weather conditions and track were of
the best.
The 2.2O stake race was cleared from the
card in short order. The Hartford mare

SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT.
Laborls Condition Satisfies Phys-
cians--There Is No Fever.

Rennes, Aug A. II p. ni.-The follow
ing bulletin regarding the condition of
Maitre Labor was issued at 10 O'clock:
Temperature 37.O5; no fever; condition
stationary" There has been, there
fore, a slight improvement during the
last few hours.
NJ. Labori's mother arrived here this
evening She had believed him dead,
and a most affecting interview ensued.
Later M. Labor received M. Matthew
Dreyfus, brother of Captain Dreyfus.
There is some talk of Albert Clemen-
ceau, the younger of the two brothers,
coming as a substitute for Labor. The
question however, will be definitely de-
cided tomorrow. NJ. Clemenceau was
one of Zola's counsel at his trial, and
has followed the Dreyfus affair very
closely. While he lacks the magnetic
influence Of Labori in pleading be is
extremely skyful in cross ton.

A NAPcLEONIC ENSIGN.
How Young Curtin, q. S. NJ, Demanded ID Tho
Surrend sr of Ponce.

Surrenu sr OF Ponce.
Richard Harding Davis, in an article
in Scribner's Magazine on tho Porto
Rico Campaign, relates how Ensign
Curtin demanded the surrender of
Ponce, as follows:
He is about the youngest-looking
boy in the navy, and he is short of
stature, bnt in his methods he is
Napoleonic. He landed, with let
ter, for the military commander,
which demanded the surrender of the
port and city, and he wore his side
arms, and an expression in which
there was no trace Of pity. The Cap
tain of the Port informed him that the
military commander was at Ponce,
but that he might be persuaded to
surrender if the American naval officer
would condescend to drive up to
Ponce, and make his demands in per-
son. The American officer fairly
shook and quivered With diiynatiop.
"Zounds," and "Gadzooks," and
"Haug il, SIR" would have utterly
failed to express his a0tonishment.
Had it come to this, then, that an en-
sign, holding the Presidents commits
sion, and representing such ship of
terror as the Wasp, was to 60 to o
mere colonel, commanding district
of 60, 900 inhabitants?
Chow long will it take that military
commander to get down here if he
hurries?" demanded Ensign Curtin.
The trembling Captain of the Port,
the terrified foreign consuls and the
custom house officials thought that q
swift-moving cab might bring him to
the port in half hour.
"Have your telephone about the
place." asked the Napoleonic Curtin.
They had.
"Then call him up and tell him that
if he doesn't como down here in q
hack in thirty minutes and surrender,
shall lombard Ponce!"
This was the Ensign's ultimatum.
| He turned his back on the terrified
inhabitants and returned to his gig.
Four hacks started on mad race for
Ponce, and the central office Of the
telephone rang with hurry calls.
On his way out to the ship Ensign
Curtin met Commander Davis on his
way to the shore. Commander Davis
looked at his watch. 81 shall extend
his time another half hour, said Com
mander Davis. Ensign Curtin sa-
lated sternly, making no criticism
upon this weak generosity on the
part Of his superior officer, but he
could afford to be magnanimous.

Apple-Ted Deer.

The tameness of the deer in Maine
is remarkable. They chum with cattle
in the pastures and make thems elves
at home in barnyards, while few
cases are reported where men have
made pets of deer and allowed them
to fatten in their orchards, sc that the
animals might be good and fat when
the shooting season opened. Such an
apple-fed deer was brought to Bangor
recently, and it is asserted that the
fruit diet will greatly improve the
flavor of the meat
A man who was carting a load of
apples along the road to Ellsworth,
the other day, had strange expert
ence with hungry deer. The cart
broke down, and the man decided to
camp out on the road for the night.
At midnight he was awakened by a
crunching noise and found his outfit
surrounded by herd of deer who
were helping themselves to the apples
in the crates and boxes. The man
had gun, but it was one day before
open time, and he had too much re-
spect for the law to shoot. New York

Lieutenant Terrill is convalescing

Every letter he receives from the
Porto Rican hacienda makes him more
impatient of the lassitude of illness.

is grave two months old. 1t can be

tenant Luke W. Terrill will plight
their marriage VOWS. If Captain Jesu
Antonius knows, he is glad.
1t is the wish of the bride that they
shall go to her home at Barcelona,
Spain, on their wedding tour and the
devoted Kentuckian would gladly go
to the wilds of the Congo with her as
companion. If the President will
grant him leave of absence they will
spend their honeymoon in Spain and
return to the sunny hacienda in the
spring.
Beside the beautiful brides 1000
acres, near Ponce, and her ancestral
estate in Spain, the happy pair will
have one treasure trove, the bullet
torn, blood-stained coat Of q Spanish

A Hound Defeats a Wolf.

A cowherd, Mike Sullivan, was at

Lake, Col, recently while attending
his cattle. He hourished his club,
but the beast snarled and refused to
retreat. Matters were getting serious
for tie man when a Russian wolfhound
appeared and q fierce fight followed.
The hound was shaken off and the
wolf escaped into the lake, but re-
turned to shore soon, as the water was
quite cold. The fight between the
wolf and hound was renewed. This
time the latter fastened on to his an
iagonist's neck, and held it until few
well-directed blows from club ended
the struggle-New York Times.
