KILLING of French Officers in the

KILLING of French Officers in the
SOudnn May Have Weight.
London. August 22.-The Rennes CORE
spondent of the Daily News, commenting
on the effect which the murder of French
officers in the French Soudan will have
on the Dreyfus case. says:
Captain Chanoine is a son of General
Chanoine, the former minister of war,
who Joined the other war ministers in
swearing on his soul and conscience that
Dreyfus was guilty"
Referring TO General Chanoines mystic
rious resignation from the Brisson cabinet
the correspondent says: 1t is evident that
the nationalist leaders got wind of the
atrocities committed by Voulett and Cha
nome in the Soudan on men, women and
children, which were of such character as
to be unprintable.
He entered the Brisson ministry <Dledged
to support revision of the Dreyfus case,
but Just as President Faure was black
mailed into opposing revision by threats
to disclose certain family stories, so Cen
ersl Chanoine WAS blackmailed into re-
signing and renouncing his conscientious
belief in the innocence OF Dr,H fus by a
threat to reveal the misdeeds OF his son.

corded the permission ,,,.
The Dreyfusard press is certain to taks
I'm This matter The only Dreyfusafd
newspaper at Rennes has already pup
lished protest this afternoon =,
The second point, the change OF a..,
tude upon the part of Dreyfus, has gwen
universal satisfaction TO MS irlenus'
Hitherto he had confined himself when
asked by the Judge IL he had any reply 10
make to witnesses, to an inpassionea
presentation of his innocence. This MADE
an immense but transitory impression on
his hearers. -.
Moreover, General Roget made the sig
pficant remark in court last week ina.
an innocent man does not merely protest
his innocence, but defends himself inns
undoubtedly stung DNyfus into the line
he adopted today, when he rose and re-
piled, argumentatively, in a calm voice. to
the various points argued by witnesses.
II was In respnse to Captain Jancke that
he had made his longest statement occu
plying about ten minutes, during which
he used the notes he had taken while
Jancke was speaking and with methodical
arrangements of facts and unequlVoca
language fairly discussed the inaccura-
cies of Jancke's testimony. The prisoner
punctuated his remarks with moderate
we'll chosen gestures of his right hand
standing erect facing the Judges.
The third point, the conduct of Janckr
in repeating condolences made to him as
D comrade, by Dreyfus, Disguised his
