Cheyenne, Sept. 1f.-There was consider
able surprise here today and not little
indignation, caused by the reports from
Manila and San Francisco to the effect
that Captain John D. O'Brien, Company

haved in a manner unbecoming an Off

marrying and afterwards deserving a fair
young mestizo woman while he was sta

denunciation of the acts of Captain
OBrien. The paper says that Captain
OBrien ruined the mestizo woman. who
was one of the handsomest women in the
islands
The story recites that Captain O'Brien
met the dusky maiden nine months ago.
He fell in love with her and married her,
Notwithstanding the fact that he has a
wife and grown children living at Doug
las, Wyo. O'Brien lived with the woman
until the Wyomings were ordered home,
when, so the Manila paper states, he
deserted her without so much as saying
goodbye.

What War With England In Trans

Aid and Sympathy Extended at the

them in the Transvaal Orange Free

the last ditch, the lecturer said. but
there could be no hope for them in
conflict with the English, and they
would be wiped out.
After the Jameson raid, France and
Germany had been kind to the Trans

Intervention on the part Of the other
European countries in the event of
war with England. but there was no
such signs now, a condition that DIR.
BOSNIAN deplored but could not explain.
He was still inclined to the belief that
there would be no war. He thought the
moral influence of the world would
shake the ''Jingoes' of England and
South Africa and that the sober
thought of the conservative people of
England would prevail against the war

lola WRITES oF. VERDICT.
Refers to His Coming Trial, at
Which Labor Will Speak.

Paris. Sept. 12.-The Aurore pub
fishes this morning a long letter from
Emile zola. the novelist. which is
pendant to his famous 'J'Accuse' letter
in the early STAGES of the revision
movement. II concludes as follows:
The ministry, which its agents have
betrayed. the ministry which had the
weakness to leave big children with
muddled minds to play with matches
and knives. the ministry which has for
gotten that to govern is to foresee-haS
only to hasten to act if it does not
wish to abandon to the good pleasure of
Germany the fifth act of the drama,
the announcement before which every
Frenchman should tremble.
1T is for the government to play this
fifth act as soon as possible, in order
TO prevent its coming to- US from

the documents. Diplomacy has settled

individuals May Withdraw.

Little doubt is felt that the latitude
allowed the private citizen will be quite
extensively awaited of to withdraw
from participation in the exposition
Another difficulty in the way of an
effort to prevent participation in the
exposition, however, will be found in
the fact that before congress has been
assembled much of the government
exhibit probably will be packed and on
its way to Paris, if not actually there.
The exposition opens in April, and the
work of transporting and preparing
the exhibit will have to begin some
months before that time. Up to this
time, it is said, the preparations of the
government exhibit has not begun, but
the work viii proceed as soon as the
government officials are ready.
Representative Hepburn of Iowa said
today that he had ceased to marvel at
the methods of French army justice
after observing how the trial of Drey-
fus was conducted. No such trial or
verdict was possible in the United
States. He did not think it would in
any way affect diplomatic relations
between this country and France, nor
did he think it would interfere with
United States exhibitors at the coming
exposition

REVOLUTION IN VENEZUELA.
Instruction Is Gaining Strength and
the Government Losing.

Ponce, P. r., Sept. 1.-THE steamer
Philadelphia, Captain Chambers, from
Venezuelan ports, brings news of the
spread of the revolution and the wan
ing strength of the government. The
insurgent leader General Citrano Castro
has 10000 men under his command. Ac-
cording to the same authority a strict
censorship of cable dispatches has been
established: mail matter is freely
opened and a strict watch is kept up
on outgoing passengers. President
Andrade has purchased a Spanish gun
boat with an equipment of eight guns,
for S135, 900.
Sixty-six prominent politicians,
among them Senior Hernandez and the
editor of I'll Preganaro, were arrested
on Aug. IA. and more than 500 have
been taken into custody since. A fierce
battle was fought on Aug. %, near Bar
quisimeto, when the insurgents cap
tured 1000 government troops and Sc
cured a large quantity of ammunition.
Senior Rodriguez, minister of the in
terror, who resigned on Sept. 6, was ar
rested the following day.

remained Unexpectedly quiet. but this
condition of affairs is not likely to con-

ers of the opposing parties were all

demonstration. Then, too, the general
public were delighted with the verdict
as confirming the Chose Jugee. Now,
however, they are beginning to see the
want of logic in cOnceding "extenuat-
ing circumstances to a convicted
traitor, a concession which excftes
doubt as to the strength Of the case
against Dreyfus.
Moreover, public opinion is being So

loss of millions to the country.
There is little doubt that the trial OF

it is asserted sensational evidence will

are taking breath, but the latent ami

1t is estimated that the last years

tend to let matters rest. and -rumors
are revived of the impending arrest Of
General MERCER. He declares that he
does not care what happens, being quite
satisfied that he has done his duty.
It is understood also that President
Loubat opposes such an extreme course
as prosecuting MERCER or the other gen.
erals. He is rather inclined to a. con-
ciliatory policy. extending even to a

Berlin, Sept. 1.-THE private agitation
against the exposition is begin
ming to find vigorous expression.
The Vossiche Zeitung says this evening
that a number of the largest German
firms have pledged themselves to with
draw. The Berlire r Tageblatt says the
Berlin council at it's next session will
consider a special motion to withdraw
the Berlin municipal exhibit.
On the other hand, the correspondent
of the Associated Press learns on the
highest authority that the German
government considers the Dreyfus case
now, under all the conditions, done with
and does not intend to relinquish official
representation at the exposition.
The official responsible for this assur-
ance adds that il should be borne in
mind that despite the Dreyfus case, the
official relations between the two gov
ernments have steadily improved dur
ing recent years.

OGDEN SUNDAY CLOSING FIGHT
Open Front Door Altogether Wrong
In That Town.
(special b me Herald.)

Especial 10 L ne GeFdlu.J
Ogden, Sept. 1.-THE struggle over
the Sunday closing ordinance is on
again. This evening Chief Davenport
arrested ]. H. Myers, proprietor Of
Myers saloon, for keeping his place
open on Sundays. Myers. it seems, left
his front door open, but had the blinds
closed, and did business the same as
all the other places. Some time ago
the order was given that all places
should be closed on Sunday according
to the terms of the ordinance. The rule
was gradually relaxed, and proprietOFs
were not molested if they kept their
front doors closed. Myers had no rear
door to his place, and has a three years
lease on the premises; consequently he
can't move and must close his place on
Sunday, or fight the ordinance. He
proposes to do the latter unless all the
other saloons are closed front and rear.
He gave bonds for his appearance be-
fore the city justice Tuesday morning
at 10 o'clock. the bonds being fixed at
$780, He says he will carry the case to
the district court.
