ESTERHkZY CONFESSES.
lie Declares That the Time Has Arrived
When the Whole Truth Should BE
KnOwn-He Wrote the Bordereau.

LONDON, June 3-The Daily Chron-
icle says that Maj. Compte Ferdinand
Walsin Esterhazy called at its office
Friday evening with a confidential
friend. and, after declaring that the
time had arrived when the whole truth
should be told. although hitherto. by
reason of constant orders and induce
mcnts, he had kept silence on the es-
sential point, made the following
statement:
"The chiefs of the army have dis
gracefully abandoned me. My cup is
fail aud / shall speak CUT
Veg (rstsing his voice and glaring
arousp, IL WA who wyotc the bor-
dsres@ Iwrots It upon orders re-
ceived from Sandherr"
Esterhaxy, the Chronicle says, then
proceeded to explain that for months
before 1898 moral proofs had been OBJ
tanned OF leakages which were only
possible through officers belonging to
the ministry of war and it was neccs-
sary TO catch the guilty party by ma
terial evidence. Hence the bordereau.
When asked what the chiefs of the
French general staff would say to this
confession, Esterhazy, Struggling his
shoulders, disdainfully replied
"They will lie as they know how to
lie, but l have them tight. | have
proofs that they know the whole
thing and share the responsibility
with me, and l will produce the
proofs"
He then denounced the chiefs as a
set of scoundrels who have abandon
ID me basely," and added, but at one
ime they used TO come to thank Mad
me Pays for her assistance"
Esterhazy asserted that quite re-
emily the chiefs sent NJ. Laguerse, a
ormer deputy, to London with Sc
uctive offers to him to kcep,silence.
Now they are using threats" he
houted; "but will not be deferred"
The Daily Chronicle got Estcrhazy
o sign the notes of the interview.

acknowledged in more than one pub

OF the bordereau. the document which
convicted Dreyfus, there is left almost
nothing to be desired in clearing up
the Dreyfus mystery, and except for
the formalities yet to be gone through
