to seek him.
M. Trarieux's remarks brought Com
mandant Lauth to his feet. The COM
mandant declared that he took no ex-
ception to Picquarts instructions 10
look for traces of the tearing Of the
petit bIeu, but when he saw the use Pic
quart wished to make Of the petit bleu
he opposed the project.
Picquart's Private Life.
Lauth proceeded to accuse Picquart
of the most profound contempt for the
officers of his department and their
home life. The day of the cars en-
trance into Paris, Picquard intro
duced to the witness as Madame Henry
woman unfit to be in their society and
whom they had since discovered to be
the wife of a magistrate.
LIEUTENANT Colonel Rcquart sprang
to his feet and vigorously protested
against the monstrous allegation.
General Zurlinden followed. He eX-
planned that he deposed both in the ca
pacity of military governor of Paris and
minister of war. He had played a most
prominent part in the Du Patty de Clam,
Picquart and EsterhaZy cases. The
proceedings in the case of Major du Pa
tv de Clam had caused him great anx-
iety. The witness wished for more light
with regard to the ground upon which
the revision of the trial of Captain
Dreyfus was demanded and the charges
emanating from other officers of the
general staff against Lieutenant Colonel
Picquart.
He thought. it absolutely necessary
that the charge of forgery against Pic
quart should be cleared up by the
court. Lieutenant Colonel Picquart
was then il the custody of the civil
authorities, but the minister of JUS
tice drove the witness to have him ar
raigned before a courtmartial, not for
making an erasure in document
which was insignificant, but forgery.

SHARP TILT IN COURT.
M Labor and Colonel Jouaust Gre
ate a Sensation.

Rennes. Sept. 6.-The secret examina-
ton of Eugene de Cernuschi. the Aus
trlan refugee and witness for The prose-
cution, occupied the time of the court
martial from the hour of its convention
at $50, until $50 O'Clock.
The public sitting of the court opened
at S:45 a. m. with brief exchange of
unlmportant remarks between NJ De-
mango and General Roget. Senator Ira
rieux formerly minister of justice. was
then recalled to the witness stand. At
ter a desultory discussion of the charac-
ter of Lieutenant Colonel Picquart's
former orderly, Savignaud, who had
testified for the prosecution, which
seemed to show that Savignaud had
more or less raligned his former mas
ter, M. Labor questioned NJ Trarieux
with regard to the petit bleu.
NJ Trarieux replied that he had ex-
amined the petit bleu which had been
the cause of the accusation of Lieuten-
ant Colonel Picquart. If the witness
had not known in the first place thar
one genuine document had been falsiied
ne would not have received Pi.quart The
day the latter was to be arrested. The
witness had not accused Commandspt
Lauth any more than others.
Lauth had not believed the document

after he was asked to conceal the traces
of its having been torn. Tle must have
yielded to the influence Of the plotting
rampant at that time.
Picquart Is Defended.
M. Trarieux vehemently defended
Picquart against the charge of tamper-
ing with the petit bleu, the original gen
uineness of which was proved by the
very use to which Picquart had put il
when he submitted to his superiors the
scheme of decoy letters which he pro-
posed to send to Major Esterhazy. in
which was to be introduced the exact
wording of the petit bleu. .oicquart
therefore was a man of un-arnished
honor when he was prosecuted fer for
gerry
When the witness investigated The
real motives of the prosecution, he
learned that Picquart was accused OF
making erasures in the petit b;eu. All
the evidence showed that Picquart was
not connected with the erasures which
thus constituted a new forgery and a
new device to sq1elch Picquart.

cution resulting in the dismissal of the
charges.
After further explanations by Gen
eral Zurlinden, M. Labor asked per-
mission to speak.
Colonel Jouaust-Is it with regard te
the evidence of M. Trareux?
| M. Labori-It is with reference to the
erasure on the petit bleu.
colonel Jouaust, sharply-In that
] case, no. We are trying Dreyfus, not
the Picquart case.
M. Labori-Allow me, Mr. President
it is the question of a document ad-
judged to be a device of Picquart'
against Esterhazy, but which the de-
tense maintain constitutes proof of Es-
terhazy's treachery
NJ. Labori requested that the letter
from the minister of justice to General
Zurlinden abiding to the deposition of
the latter, be read.
Origin of the Petit Bleu.
General Zurlinden had asked that the
minister of justice make a preliminary
inquiry into the origin of the petit bleu,
to which the minister replied that Lieu
tenant Colonel Picquart was in the
foreign service at the time the erasure
the proposed inquiry was beyond the
scope of the common law, unless a
civilian participated in the suspicious
proceedings.
NJ Labor pointed out that contrary
to General Zurlinden's intimation. the
erasure seemed even then to have as
sumed considerable Importance in his
mind
General zurlinden replied: "It was

tempt to remove blot and therefore
1t did not possess, in my mind. the i'm
portance which others attached to it,
Nj. Labori-Was the erasure subse-
quent to the first photograph?
General Zurlinden amid intense ex-
element admitted that the Tayernier
inquiry showed that the petit bleu had
not been scratched when it reached
the statistical section of the intelligence
department, and that consequently the
eraSure was not the work of Lieuten-
ant Colonel Picquart

mission to read document belonging
to the diplomatic dossier, conclusively

Replying to M. Labori. Trarieux
dwelt at length upon the charges. which
he described as fairy tales against Pic

SKATER DEFENDS HIMSELF.
Charge That He Was Not Under Fire
at Santiago.


Chicago, Sept. 6.-Major General W.
R. Shafter, commander of the depart
ment of the Pacific coast, has written
letter to the Rev. c. o. Brown, pas
tor of the Green street Congregational
church, in which he defends himself
against the charge that he was not
under fire at Santiago by stating that
had he been at the front, he could have
been of no more service to the army
than a brigade commander.
The letter was written by General
Shafter to acknowledge the defense or
his conduct made by the Rev. Mr.
Brown in a recent speech at Toledo
against an attack by General Sher-
wood. The Rev. Mr.. Brown said in his
speech that he did not believe General
Shafter won his Victory with a teIe-
phone, or from blackboard, but that
the campaign was without a parallel
in swiftness of movement.
In addition to thanking the Rev. Mr..
Brown for his defense, General Shafter

Beers READY TO FIGHT
All Signs Point to War in the
Transvaal.
CABINET MEETING TODAY
ULTIMATUM MAY BE SENT TO
KRUGER.
Belief There That There Will Be a
Breakdown On the Part Of the
Beers, or England Will at Once
Begin Hostilities-Reply Made
Public.

London, Sept. 6.-This mornings
news sheds no light on the Transvaal
crisis. The signs which the English are
accustomed to see just previous to a
war continue, and from these any num-
Der of sensational deductions may be
drawn. Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, Sec
rotary of state for the colonies, re-
mains at the colonial office and other
cabinet ministers are either here or on
their way to this city.
General opinion tends to the belief
that the cabinet council will result in
an ultimatum, followed by an immed
late backdown on the part of the Beers
or the commencement of 1lostilities by
Great Britain. This feeling, however,
is founded on the trend of the recent
negotiations and it is often forgotten
that in these Mr.. Chamberlain had
practically a free hand and was not
hindered by the cautious conservatism,
which undoubtedly will characterize
the deliberations of the cabinet coun-
Gill;

whether the emperor points his thumb
UP or down.
At late hour this evening he had
given no sign either way, and French
slen are awaiting with breathless inter
est the first indication of his will.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-09-07
The Tension Is Acute.

Advices from various sources indi-,
cate that the acute tension in all parts
of South Africa continues. But, unless
the Beers take the initiative which at
present is improbable, it is pretty GER
tain that the issue of peace or. wal. lies
solely in the result of Fridays cabinet
council; hence public attention is CEN
tered more upon the signs of the times
as exhibited AT the army stations, and
the dock yards, than in South Africa
itself, though news from there is eager
ly awaited, chiefly owing to the uneasy
feeling that the Beers might end the
diplomatic tangle by raiding Natal.
1t is reported this afternoon that Mr..
Chamberlain has sent a reply through
Sir Alfred Miner, governor of Cape
Colony and British high commissioner
of South Africa, to the Transvaal gov
ernment's latest proposal. The matter
is. generally understood to be with
drawal of the former concessions and
an initiative agreement for further
conference. It seems improbable that
Mr.: Chamberlain has done this, as he
would probably have awaited the cabi-
nets decision before taking such ac-
ton, and even if he has, it is hardly
likely that his reply would bring mat
tiers to head except by irritating the
Beers into aggressive action.
Prepared For War.
The second edition OF the Times is
sued this morning, publishes dis
patch from New Castle, Natal, which
says that during yesterdays debate in
the Rad, regarding the proximity of
British troops to the Transvaal terri
tory, Herr Delarri, a member of the
Rad, said: THE Beers only require
half a days notice to fight
The correspondent of the Times con-
tinuing, says: Many conclude that
the defiant tone of the speeches are
not unconnected with the fact that
Mauser ammunition, which had been
stopped at Delagoa Bay, has now been
received. The Pretoria government ad-
mits that a consignment of cannon is
now on it's way from France"
1t is the evident aim of the Beers to
secure time until grass and water are
plentiful, the burghers fully recognize
ing that peaceful settlement of the
difficulty is out of the question.
The Cape Town correspondent of the
Times telegraphs as follows: "In re-
gard to the remarks of Sir John Cor
don Spriggs, former premier of Cape
Colony and leader of the opposition,
made at yesterdays session Of the
house of assembly, the Hon. William
P. Schreiner. premier of Cape Colony,
said that permits had not been granted
for large quantities of ammunition to
be transported through the colony, but
that small quantities for local import
ers continued to arrive and he had no
desire at present to stop such importa-
tons"
