Weldon Calls for Tents for a Pest House
CasesDiscovered at BurlingtOn-yIuch
Work Before the Legislature
Messenger Bureau,

Raleigh, n. c., February q.
A telegram received yesterday from
the mayor of Weldon urged hat tents
be sent there at once to be used as pest
houses for smallpox patients. No
statement was made as to the number
of cases. There are no tents here. All
in the arsenal were taken by the First
and Second regiments of volunteers.
News reaches here that there are
cases of smallpox at Burlington. 1t Is
said that the supposed case of small
out one of the men who was Quaran-
tined got away and at Franklin, Va,
the disease broke out on him. The case
here is yet under guard.
1t is said that some of the people
who live along the line of the Atlantic
and North Carolina railway are oppos-
ing it's sale TO a syndicate Of which
Julian S. Carr and others are men,
bers. Persons in other parts Of the
state appear to be entirely willing to
sell the road. saying that the latter
pays only 2 per cent. dividends and
that the dividends are merely arbitra-
ry. 1t is asserted today that the odds
are that the sale will not be made.
Lieutenant Governor Reynolds was
asked today when the legislature would
in all probability adjourn. He replied

Dreyfus' Trial,

RENNEs, Aug. 12.-After unimport-
ant preliminaries Casimir Perier, Presi-
dent of France when Dreyfus was con-
victed, related how General Mercier
and others told him about Dreyfus and
how the German embassy protested
against being mentioned in the case.
''If Dreyfus says he fully informed me
about the case,' cried Perier, "then he
lies" This was an exciting moment
and Dreyfus paled visibly. He spoke,
however, calmly and with dignity, say
ing, 81 did not say informed Casmir
Perier. l wrote him several letters
which perhaps he never received"
The prisoner seemed a new man,
manner virile, eyes bright, and wore
no glasses. Perier's next statement
was directed at MERCER. General
MERCER never told me of the document
containing the expression that animal
Dreyfus is becoming too exacting.'"
Perier's testimony contained no revela-
tions as the defense had hoped. Gen
eral Mercier, ex-minister of war, relat-
ed how the bordereau was found and
given to Colonel Henry who turned it
over to bis chiefs. He said that Patty
de Clam appointed the preliminary in
vestigation. Patty de Clam set Drey-
ius to writing and dictated to him the
bordereau, and on the strength of the
similarity of the handwriting to the
prisoners copy of the original he was
arrested
At the conclusion of his testimony
Mercier said: 81 see no reason to
change the opinion l entertained at
the last trial. If did not honestly be-
lieve the prisoner guilty l would say
So" Dreyfus leaned forward trembl.
ing and said: "That's what you ought
to do" Mercier said, shaking excited
ly, "Capt. Dreyfus, If l had any doubt
of your guilt l would acknowledge it to
ALL" Dreyfus jumped to his feet and
almost screamed, "You should, you
shall, you must acknowledge it," Hal
the audience was on it's feet, some
cheering. The court at this point ad
journed.
RENNEs, August AN. Labor, one
of Dreyfus' counsel was shot early this
morning on his way to the court mar.
tial, accompanied by his wife. He il
not believed to be fatally hurt. After
the attack he was able to walk to the
physicians house and climb the stairs tC
the doctors office. The physician
found wound under the left shoulder
blade made by small ball. The
wound is not deep. When M. Dem
ange, Labori's colleague arrived, the
victim cried cheerfully mot tragedy
this time" He told Demange to pro
coed with the trial and that he hoped
that he would be able to be present and
assist him within short time.
The court WAS about TO open its SEES
sion when the wounding of Labor was
announced. The crowd rushed out.

Tragedy at Middlebury.

A man named Eastwood hired team at
Middlebury Monday evening, drove five
miles to East Middlebury, to the residence
of his former wife who lived with her moth
or there and shot his wife and her mother
He then rapidly drove TO town and went to
the residence of Frank Fem, who drives
team for Marshall & Co., and shot him
through the heart. He then fred at the
murdered mans wife but did not kill her
the bullet grazing her head. He then went
to the residence of K. ID. Brown, a brother
of his former wife whom he shot at East
Middlebury and tried to find Mr. Brown
evidently with the intention of shooting
him.
During the excitement that prevailed the
murderer escaped Officers are securing
the country in all directions and 1t is
thought he cannot escape. He is about
thirty years old, red faced, and wore
glasses. His wife had refused to live with
him and for several weeks he had been in
Massachusetts. Mrs. Eastwood's mother
received only slight wound in the arm
Mrs. Eastwood's wounds will probably be

In the Far East.

MANILA, August 14.-On Saturday
night the insurgents Hnsuccessfully at
tackled San Luis, on the Rio Grande,
near Calumpit, which is garrisoned by
two companies of the Twenty-second
infantry. One American was killed
and two wounded.
A similar affair took place at Gruin-
qua four miles west of Malolos, where
another small garrison is stationed as a
safeguard against possible attack up
on the railway.
A reconnaissance made with the OBJ
ject of discovering the whereabouts of
the enemy near San Mateo, about ten
miles from Manila, resulted In the &C.
cupation of San Mateo. The American
loss was three killed and thirteen
wounded.
The Americans approached in three
columns. The first under Major Gro
min experienced many difficulties, aris-
ing from the condition of the country
and failed to effect junction with the
others. The second, led by Capt. Riv-
ers, took an outpost of the enemy two
miles southwest of San Mateo, and en-
cOuntered strong resistance among the
hills, the enemy firing from excellent
positions.
Captain Parker, commanding tho
third, found the enemy strongly en-
trenched on the far side of some rice
fields, about mile wide and covered
with deep mud. Pushing forward, rap
idly, he routed the Filipinos after forty
minutes fighting and then continued
the march upon San Mateo, which he
entered without serious resistance about
half-past one in the afternoon. The
other columns did not participate in the
capture.
Twenty-three of the enemy are
known to have been killed. This is
the first action in which Colonel Burt's
colored troops participated. They be-
haved well, their leaders having diff
Guilty in holding them back.
General Young accompanied Captain
Parker's column and was under fire
throughout the engagement. 1t ia es-
timated that the enemy numbered
between 300 and 400 men.

Samoan Troubles.

If any person entertains the idea that
the troubles in Samoa, late or recent,
issued from simple conditions peru
sal of an article in the American Law
Review, by Hon. Henry G. Ide of ST.
Johnsbury, will dispel the illusion.
Mr.. Ide was formerly chief justice of
Samoa, under the treaty arranged by
and between Great Britain, Germany,
and the United States for the govern
ment of that South Sea region. He
has thus acquired accurate and detailed
knowledge of Samoan affairs and con-
ditions prevailing in the islands. His
statement of "Some Legal Phases of
Samoan Troubles" from the time in
1889 when the representatives of the
three powers named signed the treaty
relating to Samoa, down to the recent
disturbances, accounts for the legal
tangle which eliminated in bloodshed
in March and which finally led to the
abolition of the kingship.
Judge Ide discusses these affairs of
Samoa with the incisiveness of the
keen lawyer, aided by clear intelli-
gence and intimate personal knowl-
edge of men and events in the islands.
Reviewing these illegal complications
in the effort to govern a remote coun-
try by an agreement between these
great powers" which he describes,
every impartial and thinking reader
will assent to the writer's conclusion
that "The difficulties are such, and so
inherent in the very nature of the COM
pact, that it is highly improbable that
the same principles will be applied to
any of the new countries that have
within the past year come within the
sphere of our influence. We shall gov
ern or protect them, as the case may
be, alone. We shall form no partner
! ship in the administration of distant
colonies. But it does not necessarily
follow that, in the case of Samoa,
which is not ours to deal with as we
see fit, the treaty, when properly
amended, is not the best and safest
anchorage that we have in the South
Seas and that it would not be most
unwise to consent to its dissolution"

The Dreyfus Tragedy.

AS if the dark drama whose final act
is playing at Rennes were not already
dyed to ebon blackness, and over.laden
with varied villanies of frightful enor-
nifty, the hand of the assassin was raised
on Monday against the legal defender
of the victim of French conspiracy and
monstrous injustice. Men in general,
in their most favorable aspects, are
quite incomprehensible, but beyond all
comprehension are associated French
men. In England or America Dreyfus
would long ago have been acquitted of
the charges for which he was condemn
ed to Imprisonment on DEVILS Island.
Evidence enough to overwhelm an
Anglo.Saxon has been presented to
show that the unfortunate artillery cap
tain is the victim of wretched con-
spiracy. 1t is clear as day that his in
nocence is known in all France, but
though confessedly innocent his guilt
must be maintained and his punish
ment continue to save the "honor" OF
some of the worst scoundrels that ever
disgraced the human race-the officers
of the Frendh army and among them
some of its leading generals.
Past finding out are the ways of
French procedure. Who would under
stand all the complexities of the Drey
fus episode, all the convolutions of the
conspiracy in its varied incidents,
would be more than mortal. But even
the casual observer of the worlds af'
fairs knows that in Dreyfus an innocent
man has been accused, convicted and
frightfully punished for an odious
crime, and he knows that determine
ton exists in France that this great
and inhuman wrong shall not be sci
right. That is enough for the world
at large to know. The details are Of
secondary Importance.
But human sympathy and yearning
the world over, are not limited to Drey
fus. They are extended to that part o.
France that has been and is to-day
struggling against mighty combina
ton of civil and military power, agains
fanatical race and religious prejudices
to vindicate French honor and justice
in their rightful meaning, from the dis
grace they have suffered from French
men themselves.
If anything were needed to reinforc
the effect of the evidence of unparallele'
villainy at the first trial and the con
domination of Dreyfus that has beef
disclosed previous to and during tn
re-trial at Rennes, the attempted as
sassination of Labori ought to suppl
it. Labor may die, but Dreyfus is. in
deed, safe.
