Dissatisfied Cuban Soldiers Charge
On the PaymaSter.
REPELLED WITH v0LLEY
FIVE WERE KILLED AND THIR-
TEEN WOUNDED AS RESULT.
Thousands of Disappointed Cuban
Soldiers Became Impatient at
Uncle Sans Method of Paying
Off, and Decided to help Them
selves.

Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 23.-Five men
are dead and thirteen wounded as a
result of fight last night between gen
d'armes and disappointed Cuban SOL
diers at Cuevitas, three miles from
Santiago, where the payment of the
Cuban troops is progressing. Five thou
sand Cubans had gathered there to re-
ceive pay, and after three days only
$50 had been paid. Thousands who had
been disappointed at other points had
come to Cuevitas as the last place of
payment in the province.
The imperfect list causes great dis
satisfaction, and a rumor circulated
yesterday that the paymasters would
leave today alarmed the men who had
not been paid. They began to collect in
groups and to show their annoyance.
Finally their threats became serious.

Extracts From Letter Written By
Signor Ressman.

Paris, Aug. 24-The Figaro gives an
extract from a letter written just before
he died by Signor ResSman, the Italian
ambassador to France, to whom Colonel
Panizzardi is said by General Roget to
have addressed letter duplicating Drey-
fuS.
The following is the significant SEN
tence: Il have only one regret, and that
is to die without having seen the inno-
cence of the unfortunate Dreyfus estab-
lished."
The Matin publishes an interview with
Comte Esterhazy. who energeticaly de-
MES the allegation made at Rennes re-
garding him by General Gonse and Cen
eral De Boisdeffre. These generals, he
says have not scrupled to stab him in
the back in order to save themselves. He
declares, Il shall know how to defend
myself.
Referring to the information he has re-
ceived from two sources to the effect
that there is a plan on foot to denounce
him as an accomplice of Dreyfus with
Weyl of the Yacht as an intermediary,
he says:
IF this be true. it is simply monstrous.
L cannot believe such an idea could ger
inmate in any brain. 1t would be not only
a breakdown of the present trial. but the
ruin of men whom SO far, it has not been
desired 10 DESTROY

WELL KNOWN EUREKA MAN
MEETS DEATH IN TANK.
Supposed He Fell In Grand Central
Reservoir Where He Was Found
Dead Last Evening.
CBy Telephone. to The Herald.)

(By Telephone to The Herald)
Eureka, Aug. 23.-M. J. Corbes, a well
known resident of Eureka, who has
been running the engine at the Grand
Central pump house for the past four
years, was found dead at d. m. in the
reservoir. Mr.. CorbeS was in the habit
of going to work at s a. M, returning
at about p. m. He failed to arrive
home at the accustomed time today
and his mother, feeling that something
unusual had happened, started ]. r.
Williams to investigate. Mr.. Williams,
upon arriving at the pump house, could
not ind him, and suspecting that he
had fallen into the tank, came back to
town and gave the alarm. a searching
party was hastily organized by the city
marshal. ana, taking with them a Crap
ping hook. started for the place. AZ
ter dragging the reservoir, which con-
tanned about eight feet of water, the
body was found and lifted to the sur
face. Later it was removed to A. N.
Wallace's undertaking parlors. and an
inquest will probably be held tomor-
row.
From the appearance OF the remains
when found, Mr.. Corbes must have
fallen into the tank earlier in the day,
the body being swollen and water filled.
The fires in the engine were out which
also adds color to this conclusion.
The Grand Central pump house is sit
uated about a mile and a half east of
Eureka, and is used by the company
in conveying water from the springs at
Homansville to their mines. Inside the
pump house is a reservoir about 12x24
feet, where the deceased met his death.
NJ j. CorbeS, who was about 80 years
of age, has been living in Eureka for
several years. and was formerly a res
i6ent of Silver Reef, his parents COM |
ing to Silver Reef from Phoebe, New. |
He leaves a mother, Mrs Vivian John |
son of this place, and a brother and |
sister. who reside at Provo and Bing- |
ham respectively. Mr.. Corbes was past |
master of the Masonic lodge here.

that Dreyfus and EsterhaZy were ac-
completes. brought together by Wyel
of the Yacet, and thus EsterhaZy's adj
mission that the bordereau is in his
hand, a fact accepted by the court of
cessation, would be accepted by the
courtmartial, while Dreyfus would be
looked upon as the real traitor and
purveyor of documents to the military
attaches Of the triple alliance.
L need not marshal against this hy-
pOthesis the numerous proofs of its i'm
probability and even of its impossible
ty, but l mention it here because the
very fact of its being now under discus
sion shows a sudden and brilliant light
on the panic-I do not hesitate to use
so strong a term-which has seized
hold of the little band of conspirators
against justice, as they have beheld
the Rennes judges during the last three
days slowly but surely placed in pos
session of those facts of which only
French superior officers outside the
war office still remain in blissful ignor-
ance"

A. VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN.
New Volunteers Will Eat Christmas
Dinner In Philippines.

washington, Aug. 23.-Secretary Of
War Root returned to the city tonight
from his visit to the president at Lake
Champlain. He went at once to his
apartments at the Arlington hotel, and
during the evening spent some time
with General Corbin and Acting Secre-
tary Meiklejohn. The secretary was
reticent in speaking for publication or
his conference with the president.
The matters discussed, he said, were
such as would ordinarily be taken up
at a cabinet meeting. and involved no
great departures from the policy al
ready in force respecting the Philips
pines.
That the campaign in the Philippines
is to be pushed vigorously and prompts
ly, is evident from a remark the secre-
tary made to the reporters. He was
determined, he said, that every man
belonging TO the twenty regiments OF
volunteers now being recruited snail
eat his Christmas dinner in that coun-
try. This statement was brought out
by a reference to the published report
that ten of these regiments were to be
held in the United States as reserve
force.
Regarding the report that General
Wesley Merritt, who had also been at
Lake Champlain in conference with the
president and his war secretary, is TO
succeed General Otis in command OF
the troops in the Philippines. Secretary
Root was non-committal- He evaded
all questions on this point, and declined
to make any positive statement what
ever in regard TO the subject The sec
retary's attention was called to reports
of fresh preparations for treating with
the insurgents, with a view to peace-
full settlement Of the war in the Phil
ippines. He had not heard officially OF
these, although he expressed himself
as being glad if such a solution of the
difficulties could be brought about.
The conditions in Porto Rico are re-
ceiving the chief attention of war de-
partment officials, and Secretary Rcot

though yesterdays sitting of the court
martial was monotonous, it was alto
gether good day for Dreyfus. who, as
the correspondent of the Daily News
says. is taking a passionate and quite
lmpersonal interest in his own case,
and has. in fact, become a Dreyfusite. -
The proceedings. though much less
exciting than on the previous day.
We're still dominated by the strong per-
sonality of NJ. Labor. People are be-
ginning to see likeness to the opening
of Gambetta'S career and are asking
whether Labor will go so far.
The most important point in the pro-
ceedings. perhaps, was the disposal of
General Gonse, who practically had to
shielded ESterhazy. Thus, MERCER and
Gonse are both practically shelved, and
the general staff is beginning to show
signs of wavering.
Another good sign was when a point
of law arose on a certain matter, and
Colonel Jouaust, the president of the
courtmartial, replied: Il am not up III
law. l will make inquiries, and If 1
find l have the right to do so, L will
make the order
This was in reply to Labori'S request
for certain information concerning Il
character of a witness, to be furnished
by the public prosecutor. and II seemed
to indicate a desire on the part of the
judges honestly to seek truth.
The correspondent of the Times says:
II learn on good authority that the
forces of the prosecution, led by Gen
eral Roget, are very seriously discus
sing the ACCESSIBILITY of adopting en-
tirely new tactics. According to my in
formation, they hope to be able to rem

In the presence, as they are, of I'M

the existence of the bordereau. and

Henry was capable of treason; con-
WINGED, moreover. that only a general
