confirmation Of their view, but they are
mistaken. He was sentenced to ten
years, not because that happens to be
double his time on DEVILS island, but
because according to the military code
the recording Of two votes in his favor
fixes the term of detention. Had the
verdict been unanimous he would have
been sentenced to 20 years. Those pro-
Tossing to have ascertained since the
verdict the opinion of the judges declare
that the vote of five to two was not
given by mutual agreement, but be-
cause the two judges voted in his favor
from a conviction of his innocence. The
present procedure is the application for
revision, signed by Dreyfus yesterday.
1t will be sent to Paris.
The clerk of the court-martial must
send complete dossier of the trial, in
Guiding all the documents submitted. A
reporter will be appointed to examine it
minutely and ascertain whether there
be any flaw in the proceedings. The
result will be submitted to the court of
revision, which will maintain or annul
the sentence.
Evokes Indignation Everywhere.
LONDON, Sept. lit would be diff
cult to describe adequately the iniigna-
tion the verdict of the Dreyfus court
martial has evoked everywhere in Eng.
land. With the exception of the Jesuit
organs in Rome and the anti-Semite
papers, the press of the whole world is
ringing with execration. Even the
Russian press joins in the chorus, al
though perhaps the Jews are nowhere
more hated than in Russia. The judges
are everywhere described as criminals
and gloomy speculations are INDUCED as
to what future is in store for France.
The German press is especially indig-
nant, the National Zeitung remarking
that "even the worst enemy Of France
could not have wished what has hap
pened." Papers of all nationalities fall
in with the idea of boycotting the Paris
exhibition.
The Daily Chronicle says that Mer-
cier issues from the case one OF the
blackest scoundrels in history.
The Daily Telegraph says: "This in
famous judgment disgraces France, dis
honors her army, insults the kaiser and
offends the best principles Of humanity.
There seems nothing left Il France but
q revolution, and war that will reduce
her to the level of Spain"

There was a case of rape at Spring

very revolving circumstances. The
