NAVY TO COOPERATE.
Battleships will Aid Otis in Subdu
ing the EiIipinos.

Washington, d. c.. Sept 9.-Gen. Otis
has been instructed, in framing his plan
of campaign for the dry season, to allow
for the fullest participation of the naval
forces now in the Philippines, and as
soon as he has been heard from the nee
essary orders will go forward to the ma
val commanders to cooperate with the
army to an extent not before contem-
plated.
The naval officers have always been
willing to do this, but they have been re-
strained in their operations by an indis-
position to interfere in any manner with
the plans of the military commander.
The ships will undertake to capture any
of the ports now in insurgent possession,
that may be desired by the army, and
also to hold them indefinitely, thus max
ing 1t possible to open the railroad on
Luzon from the northern extremity
while in Cavite province, with the large
force of marines now on hand, it is be-
lleved that the navy can undertake to
relieve the soldiers stationed there and
make available considerable force for
other operations.

Mrs. Col. Richardson
SAVED BY MRS. PINKHAM.
LETTER TO MRS. P1NKHAM NO. 7z,So6l


'You have saved my life, snatched
me from the brink of the grave almost,
and l wish to thank you. About eigh-
teen months ago I was a total wreck,
physically. had been troubled with
leucorrhea for some time, but had given
hardly any attention to the trouble.
CAT last inflammation of the womb
and ovaries resulted and then / suf-
fered agonies, had to give up my pro-
fession musician and piano player,
was confined to my bed and life became
a terrible cross. My husband sum-
moned the best physicians, but their
benefit was but temporary at best. I
believe should have contracted the
morphine habit under their care, if my
common sense had not interviewed.
"One day my husband noticed the adj
vertisement of your remedies and i'm
mediately bought me full trial. Soon
the pain in my ovaries was gone. am
now well, strong and robust, walk,
ride wheel, and feel like girl in her
teens. I would not be without Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; it
Is like water of life to me. l am very
gratefully and sincerely your we'll
wisher, and heartily recommend your
remedies. I hope some poor creature
may be helped to health by reading my
story. MRS. Coz. E. P. RICHARDSON,

HISTORY OF THE CASE.
Story of Dreyfus Conviction and Ban
ishment to Devils Island.

Albert Dreyfus was captain il the
Fourth artillery of the French army. He
was convicted by court-martial in 1894
of having communicated to f0reign
power certain information about the con-
StructiOn of French guns, the mobiliZa-
ton of troops on the frontier. etc, This
information was in the shape OF a memo
randum without date or signature, writ
ten on peculiar water-marked paper and
is called Il ''bordereau." According to
the evidence of the late Col. Henry, the
forger. it was discovered torn in the
wastepaper basket of Col. Won Schwartz
koppen. then military attache at the Ger
man embassy in Paris, and after being
put together by Col. Henry, formed the
basis of the original charges against
Dreyfus. There is no evidence connect
ing Dreyfus with the bordereau except
that there is an alleged similarity between
the handwriting of Dreyfus and that of
the author of the bordereau. The court
of cessation, the highest judicial tribunal
of France, has decided that the bordereau
was written by Esterhazy and not by
Dreyfus. The Berlin foreign office an
nounced officially that Dreyfus had never
had any relations, directly or indirectly,
with any representative of the German
government.

Capt Dreyfus was publicly degraded and
exiied to Devils island, where he re-

ment to appoint the number of officers

bearing upon the question and one dis
patch from Senator Quarles requesting
Mr.. Taylor to interest himself in the mat
ter. Assistant Secretary Taylor said to
the Wisconsin correspondent that he in
tends to call upon Adjt.-Gen. COrbiu and
Secretary Root today in reference to the
complaints which have reached him, and
lay before these officials the kilograms
and letters which he has received. Wis
cOnsin was promised one major and ten
captains and lieutenants. Really about
three captains and seven lieutenantS,
equally divided between the two grades
of lieutenancies.
As stated, up to this time Wisconsin
has only received seven commissions.
Four are due under promise and Secre-
tary Taylor will undertake to ascertain
wherein the hitch lies.

WILLIAMS MESSAGE.
German Emperor Says His rnpire
and America Should be Friendly.

and America SnOulu De rTleHulSs
Washington, ID. c., Sept. 9.-Emperor
William of Germany has sent Il message
of peace and goodwill to the United
States. Congressman George e. Foss of
Chicago was invited to the Emperor S
yacht Hohenzollern. at Kiel, and they
discussed the relations between Germany
and the United States
One of the first things brought up by
the Emperor was the interview in which
Admiral Dewey was alleged to have pre-
dicted that the next war OF the United
States would be with Germany. IN that
connection. the German ruler said with
impressive earneStneSs:
do not believe Admiral Dewey gave ut
terance to such sentiment | regard that
as merely newspaper story and not wor-
thy serious considerations There is no
good reason why there should be any i'll
will between Germans and Americans. On
the contrary there the strongest rea-
sons why there should be the most cordial
and friendly feelings between the two ma
lions. You have in the United States a
great number of Germans whose sympathies
should serve to bind the two nations with
bonds of amity.
The German-American were among the
best citizens Of my empire and | am sin
cerely sorry to have lost them. | am sure
they make good citizens in their adopted
country and they and their children should
be a perpetual pledge of ship between
the great republic across the sea and the
German empire.
