AMERICAN SYMPATHY.

WASHINGTON. Sept. II 1sse.-The
Dreyfus verdict is attracting much at
tention throughout official quarters, but
naturally these in responsible positions
whose opinions would be valuable are re-
luctant to express edverse comment be-
cause of the national aspect OF the case.
The feeling Is general however, IN favor
Of Dreyfus. and a strong sentiment has
developed against the injustice. which.
according to the prevailing belief. he has
been subjected to. Some Of the of1cials
express fear that this sentiment viii have
a serious effect on the Franco American
treaty when It comes before the Senate.
as that instrument has not proved very
popular and the present feeling may turn
the tide against it.

SOUTH AMERICA SUSPICIOUS
Renewed Rumors of Combina-
tions Directed Against
the United States.

WASHINGTON, Sept II, 1S99.-The ru-
mors of possible combinations among the
States of Central and South America di-
rected against the United States, are re-
ceived with some concern by the officials
here. Nearly a year ago this spirit of dis
trust on the part Of the Latin-American
people, was first exhibited In the semi
official discussion by the Press of the
United States of Columbia, of a PROPOSE
ton to combine the nations of South and
Central America. In that case the os-
tensibie purpose was to resist unjust de-
mands for indemnities by foreign states.
But incidentally during the discussion, It
appeared that the scope of the combina-
tion would be broader than this and there
was more than one intimation of a deep
seated distrust on the part of the United
States.
Two or three events have occurred
since that discussion to strengthen this
feeling. First there was a decision adj
and as President Cleveland was the arr
bitrator that unpopular decision was
charged against the United States.
Then last spring came the cruise of the
United States gunboat Wilmington up the
Amazon and the Orinoco. These voyages
were undertaken from the most innocent
scientific and commercial motives Com
mander Todd of the Wilmington found
that there were no charts of these vast
rivers, and consequently was obliged to
take soundings as he proceeded. Inciden-
tally he was enabled to make rough run
ming charts Of the rivers that may be of
value to commerce hereafter. His ac-
tions were, however. misinterpreted by
some Of the natives, though in the end
Captain Todd is believed to have perfect
ly satisfied the Brazilian officials as to
the rectitude of his purpose.
1T is said at the department that there
is not the slightest foundation for the
story that secret agents of either the
State or Navy Departments have been
sent into South America and it is quite
certain that there have never been any
negotiations with Bolivia respecting the
acquisition by the United States of lands
in the interior of South America.
As for the visit to that continent of
William q. Curtis. Chief Clerk Michael,
of the State Department himself mem
ber of the Government Board of Man
ayers Of the Buffalo Exposition, is au-
thority for the statement that Mr.. Curtis
visit is absolutely without official author
ity or direction

PORTO RICAN NEEDS.
General Davis Tells What Kind
of Food Should Be
Sent.

NE YORK, Sept. II, 1S99.-The Porto
Rican Relief Committee of the Merchants
Association has received an acknowledge
ment from General George w Davis,
Governor General of the Island of Porto
Rico. of the goods shipped by that COM
mittee on the transport Mcclellan, which
left here on the 2Sd Of August General
Davis, after thanking the committee for
the supplies sent, says
1.-THE fruit and most of the food crops
of the island are totally destroyed. Upon
these as you well know. the people sub
without these there Is nothing intrinsic,
have they the means of purchasing food,
even were it here in abundance.
II believe that the great problem to be
solved is more question of food than
anything else, and to supply this every
effort should be bent. The human animal
can live here with very little clothing and
shelter, but without food there can be
only one result
IF my conclusions as to the extent OF
the destruction of food supplies be car
rect, the stress of hunger viii be an in
creaing one from this goarward for many
week. and we must prepare to feed not
less than a quarter Of a million people,
before the earth can bring forth fresh
supplies What this means is shown by
a single mathematical demonstration
summed up in the question. AT the rate
of one pound of food per day, per person.
how many pounds Of food would it take
sofeed $4,000 persns 119 days?
I'VE might go farther in our calculation
by considering the cost of this. food and
of distributing it. for even though all
the military resources Of the island are
being used In distribution, nevertheless
the expense of getting the food to the
hungry viii be approximately about per
cent of the cost OF the food. This cost
cannot be much less than million and a
half dollars. even If the diet be as pro-
posed, rice. beans and Goldfish or bacon.
Can we get that sum? And if we can.
will your committee be able to prevent
1t going into anything but the cheapest
kind of good food?
Il have gone somewhat extensively into
this matter so that you may have a thor
ough understanding of the situation and
thereby be the better able to help US out
of our difficulties

That all idea of turning the Tabernacle

ask for the use of the church as long

of the church will then be decided.
Trustee Frank H Hall was seen this
morning by a reporter of The News

1--WE have held no meeting said ne,
sana the downtown committee has not
approached the trustees on the subject
so far as 1 know The situation remains
the same as It did month ago. No ulti-
matum has been sent TO the committee
from the trustees. This is pure fabri-
cation.
Il wish the dificulty were settled one
way or the other. No matter what steps
are taken by the trustees they are sure
to come in for criticism.
I'm agreeing TO a separation some DOWN
town people win be pleased and others
will become dissatisfied. The result will
be the same if independence is refused.

SCHOOL is OPEN.
Over Two Hundred New
Pupils For High School
mo Change in
Faculty.

Public School opened this morning
probably more quietly and with less
change than for several years back. All
the schools with the exception of No. 23,
which is holding off for repairs, and
Training School, which always opens a
week later than the others to give time
to get the various classes of No. 9 in
working order before the training teach
ers are permitted to handle them, open
ed on time, a thing which has not hap
pened in years. Even School No. 2, the
opening of which few days ago was
thought doubtful, received its overlooking
complement of pupils this morning.
In every school there were many ap-
plicants for admission. Teachers spent
all this morning and afternoon in organfz-
ing their new classes. Practically no les-
hope to have their classes running
smoothly within the week.
Superintendent Snyder decided to have
two sessions today. although 1t is usual
on rainy days to have only one He
wished to give the teachers chance to
arrange their pupils in the respective
classes.
All the schools. Notwithstanding the
large number of new buildings erected
during the past year, were, as usual,
overcrowded. This is especially the case
at the High School, where there are
about go entries making in all S12 pupils,
767 of whom reported this morning.
Nearly all the teachers throughout the
city reported for duty this morning, ex-
cepting, of course, Miss Farrant, who is
now In Europe and whose leave of alb
sence extends to February, 1900 Miss M
Helen Kelsey is filing her place and was
on deck this morning.
Training School will open on Monday
next, with twenty-one new entries, maxi
ing about fifty teachers to be graduated
during the next year, which number. with
those already graduated, from whom but
few appointments have been made this
fall, bids fair to once more flood the
city with superfiuous teaching force.
Probably in lieu of the movement 70
raise the salaries there is no change In
the faculty of the High School this fall,
another thing which has not happened
for several years.
