American IN Dreyfus Case.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. s.-Charles E
Bentheim, visitor here, tells story
of his connection with the bartering
OF the military secrets of France, in
which he claims to have handled part
of the money and to have seen the doc
uments exposing army and navy Sc
crets Of France. Bentheim claims to
have been member of a New York
regiment which fought in Cuba and
war department records bear him out.
So much of what he alleges is known
to be true that an investigation will
be made by the state department
Bentheim alleges that German
banker named Florscheutz was recon-
mended as vice-counsel at Sonneburg,
and the United States appointed him.
Florscheutz was often in charge of the
consulate for extended periods, and
used his position as American consul in
the secret service of Germany. Ameri-
can consulate stationery would be
used to smuggle military secrets across
the border. Dolls would also be
stuffed with plans of military fortifi-
cations, battlethips, submarine tor
pedo boats, etc, showing that the
source of information was general and
could not have been supplied by any
save those high in authority, and mail
ed to England, remailed from there
by confederates to Germany. Ben
theim says he never heard of Dreyfus
as being connected with the sale of in
formation.
"Of course, Florschuetz will deny
this" said Bentheim, "but it can be
easily fastened upon him. Ask him for
what purpose he handed over to me

To Blockade the Philippines.

Washington, Sept. ~ The matter OF
making an effective blockade in the
Philippines and especially around the
island of Luzon, SO as to prevent the
insurgents from obtaining ammunition
and supplies, is giving the army con-
siderable concern.
Whether or not it is feasible to at
tack, subdue and garrison all the ports
of Luzon which might serve as ports of
supply for the Filipinos has not yet
been determined Heretofore there
have not been sufficient troops in Luzon
to make this possible and the question
will now arise whether troops had best
be spared for this purpose.
The president has been advised that
the navy should be utilized for the pur-
pose of preventing the introduction of
contraband of war and supplies for the
Filipinos. At every port a naval vessel
has been stationed and under the mill
tary law of the island every incoming
vessel can be made to exhibit it's mani

"We are authorized to repea: here

country, has made concerning tho
French captain, Dreyfus. For the
preservation OF his own dignity and
the fulfi.lment of duty to humanity,
Prince Munster, after obtaining the

in December, 1894. and in January,

effect that the imperial embassy in

rectly or indirectly, any relations with
Dreyfus.

DREyFUs TRIAL.



Rennes, France, Sept s.-M. Labori,
counsel for Drey fus, created . sensa-
ton by asking the court to issue sum-
nuns for Colonel Schwartzkoppen
German military attachc, and Colonel
Panizzardi, italian military attache at
the time tho military secrets of France
were cold, of which Dreyfus is ac-
cused. The court denied the applica-
ton. Labori then sent an impas-
stoned appeal. In the name Of justice,
to the two sovereigns, to permit the
represe OF their governments
to como to Rennes and testify.
The boldness of the move dazed and
then alarmed the prosecution and anti
Dreyfus sympathizers, because it is re-
allied that they might not only clear
the accused, but fasten the infamy on
others. Lsbori 10 denounced and ac-
cused Of trickery for making the APP
peal.
Evidence throughout tho trial has
been In favor of the accused. 1t has
been shown that Esterhazy is guilty
Of part of the offenses with which the
defendant is charged, and that the Sc
cret dosier, upon which Dreyfus was
formerly convicted, is com posed largely
of forged documents. The only evil
dence against the accused is the opin-
Ion of generals in the army that he is
guilty, and these opinions may be
expressed to shield the real culprits.
Nevertheless, prejudice Of the court
against Dreyfus is so marked that he
is in great danger of being again con-
demned.
1t is believed that Emper William
will at least permit Schwartzkoppen
to make deposition to be read at the
trial. This is relied on to counterfeit
the prejudice of the court.

The Conservative, 1899-07-13

Indian author, Rudyard Kipling, has
published a poem in which he summons
the United States to follow England's
example by extending it's power on a
magnificent scale over the dusky, half
civilized, or savage inhabitants of for
eign lands. This exhortation, couched
in pithy, forcible language, seems to
have made a strong impression on many
Americans, and to have promoted the
imperial policy of the party leader
now at the helm of state in Washington,
who is indiscreetly steering in a new
course, leading over unknown, danger
GUS obstacles and unsupported shoals.
The demand and Importantly of the
poem impress the reader as being so
very peculiar and in part SO presump-
tuous that he is at first inclined to m
slider it sarcastic, and to believe that the
author has torn away the veil of HUI
mainly from England's colonial policy,
and pilloried it in it's naked brutality
and loathsome selfishness. But this is
not so. Mr.. Kipling assumes that the
Americans have deliberately set a trap
for the Filipinos and caught them, and
now he demands in all seriousness that
these maliciously subjugated, childlike,
trusting races,
"Your new-caught, sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child"
shall be guarded, tanned and civilized.
So he sets up England as a model of the
noblest and most unselfish efforts, intent
only on making all the sons of earth
participants in the blessings of civiliza-
ton, and perfectly free from selfshness
and greediness, working for the good of
mankind,
ITO seek another's profit
And work another's gain.'
1t is now urgently demanded of the
American republic, no longer a minor,
that it shall follow in this direction in
the footsteps of the old mother country,
who has heretofore proved herself only
an illwilled and selfish stepmother.
This summons is given out of pure love
to the kinsmen beyond the sea, to whom
England wishes to give an opportunity
to participate in the dissemination of
mental culture and Christian civiliza-
ton in the obscure portions of the earth.
English Self-Sacrifice.
Mr.. Kipling confesses, and is even
quite proud of the fact, that English
men have, by these magnanimous efforts,
everywhere incurred the hatred Of the
natives,
THE blame of those We better,
The hate of those we guard"
But "ingratitude is the worlds re-
ward" and the odious tendency every
