Will Probably be Landed
at Arsenal
And Whisked Away by Special
Train to Rennes.

Brest, France, June 23.-The inhabf-
tants of this port are absorbed in tine
pending arrival OF Dreyfus. The question
on every ones lips is ''whsn will he ar
rive" But no one seems able to reply.
The town, however, Is perfectly calm.
From the favorite promenade, to Cours
D'Ajot on the cIiff overlooking the splen-
did harbor, half dozen picturesque
old three-deckers can be seen moored
alongside modern cruisers. A few groups
of sailors and marines, gazing sea-ward,
admitted that they were watching for the
French cruiser Sfax, bonnd from French
Guiana with the famous prisoner on
board, but in the same breath expressed
the belief that she would not arrive in.the
day time. They think the warship will
be kept outside the harbor until night
and that then Dreyfus will be landed in
side the ars senal. This Is also the general
opinion of the townspeople.
A representative of the Associated
Press called at the maritime prefe cture
this afternoon and had an interview with
the port admiral, Barrier, who was very
polite but who displayed most praise
worthy ignorance. He said: Dup TO
now have received absolutely no instruc-
tions / am waiting orders from the new
minister OF marine. cannot even say
Dreyfus Will he landed here. In any case,
he cannot arrive yet,n and. taking a
map, he traced the course Of the Sfax
from the Cape Verde islands which she
left Tuesday. He added: "You see, she
cannot have passed the Canary islands
before yesterday. So she will not arrive
here at the ear rliest until sunday, on per-
haps Monday"
the project OF police also told the Asso-
ciated Press representative that he had
not received any instructions regarding
Dreyfue
La De Pechu, Of this city, however,
publishes an interview with u naval ofii-
Ger who is quoted as saying positively
that the authorities received the fullest
instructions long ago respecting the mill
tary and police precautions.
1t Is understood that Dreyfus will be
landed at the arsenal at night and strict
orders have been given to prevent any one
from entering the arsenal He will then
be whisked of to Rennes by special train
without staying an hour In Brest.
The military sigEalmen at the ssma-
phore stations yesterday received the
strictest orders to exclude all strangers.
The French first class cruiser Tage has
been INSTRUCTED to put TO sea on Sunday
evening and 1t is thought she has been
ordered to meet the Sfax and have Drey-
fus transferred to her. Admiral Barrerra
says the Tage is simply going to sea for
the purpose of experimenting with carrier
pigeons. A detachment of secret police
has arrived here from Raris and has been
distributed about the town.
