BREsT, France, June 20.-The French
first class cruiser Tage put to sea during
the evening, the official explanation be
ing that she has gone to experiment,
with carrier pigeons. She is much
larger cruiser than the Sfax. which il
bringing Captain Dreyfus, and the de.
parture Of such big cruiser is unpre.
cedented. Usually torpedo boat il
sent, and the opinion therefore gains
ground that the Tage has gone to meet
the Sfax and take Captain Dreyfus on
board. The pigeons can be used to an
nounce the transfer. and the Tage
might proceed to another port to land
the prisoner. ia "a.
As against this theory and as an indi.
cation that the landing of Dreyfus will
be effected here there is the fact that
large numbers of gendarines from the
country around Brest are arriving, OF
are expected to arrive. "

England seems to be inclined to accede
and Russia and Austria have expressed

Cabanas fortress. One wire was con-
nected with disused telegraph instru-
ment In a neighboring government
building. n :,
Though the cable has not been inves-
tigated by the United States engineers,
the supposition is that 1t runs to Caba-
mas across the harbor and has been used
for telegraphing. There is a remote
chance that the wires in the cable were
connected with mines or torpedoes but
this Is no indication that 1t had any
thtng to do with the blowing up Of the
Maine. The end Of the cable sticking
out OF Fuerza prison has been seen by.
tourists for weeks past. Many soldiers
have also seen the cable and may have
expressed the belief that 1t was used to

unless change for better comes very
quickly, all hope must be abandoned.
