Oroyfus' COUNSEL 10 Now Fighting
the Case without Asking or
Giving Quarter.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-A cable to the
Sun from Rennes says: 1t is impossi-
BILE to describe the agitation and ex-
citement in this city over today's de-
yelopments or even to indicate the
scores Of fantastic reports that are In
circulation. NJ. Paleologue, who rep
resents the Foreign Office, had long
consultation with Maitre Demange to-
night over the question OF the appear
ance Of Colonels Schwartzkoppen and
Panixsardi, but neither had any def
mite information.
The impression gains ground that II
only the initiative of the French For
eign Office is necessary to the produce
ton of evidence that will settle the
Dreyfus affair at once and forever,
Prime Minister Waldeck Rousseau
may be depended upon to assume the
responsibility, even il he must violate
the most sacred kind of diplomatic
usage in the process.
Passion between the two sides has
been 30 intensified by the latest events
that personal encounters. usually with
words only, are becoming frequent
even in the courtroom itself. NJ. LabOri
has thrown away the scabbard of his
sword and is now fighting the case
without asking or giving quarter.
Witness Cernuschi came to the tele-
graph Office tonight to send dispatches.
He was accompanied by two persons.
The police do not leave him for a mo-
ment. He allowed himself to be inter-
viewed and he denied Figaro's state
ment that he had been dismissed from
the Austrian army. He declares that
he resigned, and that he has documents
to prove that fact. When he was asked
IL he was ready TO reply to all ques-
tions put to him tomorrow, he signifi-
cantly tapped his pocket and said:
II have here all that | require to prove
my statements
RENNES, Sept. 5.-M. Labori this
afternoon telegraphed personal appeals
to Emperor William and King Humbert
to grant permission to Colonel
Schwarzkoppen and Colonel Panizzar-
di, German and Italian military iat-
taches in Paris in 1894, to come to Rem
mes to testify in the trial Of Captain
Dreyfus. This Is the news Of the day
and the chief topic of the journalists
this evening. The appeals were
c0uched in eloquent terms, invoking
the assistance of their Majesties in the
name Of justice and humanity. They
were quite supplementary to the for
NAL application that will be made by
the Government commissary, Major
Carriere.
The demand of NJ. Labori that the
c0urt-martial should issue process sub
ject to the approval of the two sover-
eigns came like a thunderbolt at to-
days session. The step Is fraught
with momentous consequences, as II
affords Emperor William an oppOrtu.

Of arbitration of the destinies of the
world. No one will be surprised II
Colonel Schwarzkoppen, in the name
0f the Kaiser, makes declaration that
win practically decide the results OF
the trial.
Colonel Jouaust announces that II in.

Schwarzkoppen and Panizzardi are
coming to depose. he is prepared tc

The appearance of Colonels Schwarz.
koppen and Panizzardi would be the
most sensational as well as the mos,
important incident of the entire trial
Their dispositions would be a formal
and emphatic declaration that they
never had any relations with the ac.
cused and they would make such a
statement that the court must order
an acquittal.
