Reply of Spaniards to the Statement
that They Evacuated IIOiIO to
Embarrass Americans.

PARIS, Jan. 4-Major Comte Ferdinand
Wasin Esterhazy, now known to be the
author of the Dreyfus bordereau, has been
summoned to appear before the Court of
Cessation on Jan. II. 1t is understood that,
though no formal promise has been given,
he Will be free from arrest coming and go
ing. 1t is said the Dreyfus depositons will
be received on Saturday from Cayenne, and
the court will then decide whether his act
ual presence is necessary in Paris. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that the whole examina-
tion will be conducted by telegraph at an
enormous expense, in order to avoid dam
gerous demonstrations here.
The recently-formed league known as La
Patrie Franchise, whose avoWed object is to
knit intellectual France into a union for
counteracting the Dreyfus agitation" /"
seems stillborn, owing to the incompatible
ity of MN. Brunetiere Coppee and Maurice
Barres and the dissensions among the au-
thors, professors and scientists who have
signed the membership list.
A civil court has mulcted the COmtesse
de Martel, the well-known writer over the
nom de plume "Gyp," in 5000 francs dam
ages and costs for publishing in a recent
book libel against Senator Trarieux, the
former minister of justice. The libel was
an assertion by "Gyp" that M. Trarieux
became Protestant in order to contract a
rich marriage. The Comtesse continues in
conversations to illuminate against the
Jews, who, she says, should be driven not
only out of Paris, but out of the country.
1.-The rich Jews" she asserts, "are much
less popular than formerly Many salons
have been closed against them. while Jew
ish receptions and marriages with Jews are
becoming unpopular" She further predicts
a social and political revolution in France
"as it is impossible that the Republican
regime should continue"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Orders were is
sued to-day for Troops E, d, II, K, L and
f, of the Sixth Cavalry, now at Huntsville,
Ala, to proceed at once to Savannah Ga,
for embarkation on the transport Michigan
to Neuvitas. The troops will be fully armed
and equipped for field service, and will car
ry rations and forage for thirty days in ad-
dition to what may be necessary for the
trip. The other troops of the regiment are
already in Cuba, distributed between Neu-
vtas and Porto Principe.
Major General Leonard Wood, command
ing the department of Santiago de Cuba, di-
vision of customs and insular affairs, writes
the War Department under date of Dec. 1
last that the total receipts of the island of
Cuba from 1856 to 1897 were $151, $50, ,72S, or an
annual average of 12,645 S94. The total av-
erage duties on exports during the same
period was Sl2S4,6 COS. The total collections in
the province of Santiago during the month
of November under American rule was $780,

UNNECESSARY ALARM.
Santiago VIII Not suffer by Reporting
Custom Receipts to Havana.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Regarding the
sensational reports from Santiago that the
whole province had been infamed by the
recent order of the War Department "con-
centrating all customs money in Havana"
thus threatening to throw thousands of Gu
bans out Of employment, it may be authori-
tatively stated that any excitement existing
in Santiago is due to a misapprehension of
the War Departments order. 1t seems to
have been taken for granted that the order
contemplates sending all currency collected
for customs dues to Havana, and thus cutting
off the Governor OF Santiago province from
the employment of local labor. The fact is,
the officers in charge of customs at the vari-
Gus ports of entry are merely ordered TO
make weekly reports to the collector of Gus
toms of the island at the chief port of all
transactions at the SUPPORT over which he
may have jurisdiction, with the copies of
entries of merchandise duly certified"
The customs from all the ports in the
island are to be used for the betterment of
the condition of Cubans, not only in Havana
and Santiago, but elsewhere Expenditures
will be divided as equitably as possible so
as to relieve distress existing in various
quarters, and to make this relief correspond
as nearly as possible to the emergency. 1t
WOulu De just as equitable, 1t Is argued, Tor
the port of New York to retain all the Gus
toms funds collected there for expenditure
in the Island of Manhattan as it would be
for Havana or Santiago or any other town
in Cuba to gobble all the customs receipts
for expenditures within it's own borders
So far from the War Department contem-
plating any curtailment of the relief work in
Cuba an order already has been issued to
the governor general directing him to fur
nish work to every able-bodied Cuban ap-
plying for it at a fair rate of weekly wages,
measured by Cuban standards The order
suggests that the best lines Of employment
are in sanitary work, road improvement and
municipal works Of various sorts. 1t is in
tended to offer a chance for remuneratve
work to all who are able to take advantage
of it, and to cut off the gratuitous distribu-
tion of rations among those natives able to
work for what they eat. The employment
contemplated will not be offered however,
TO any resident of the island who retains his
allegiance to Spain
The plans so far formulated by the War
Department do not touch the payment of the
Cuban army, which has been urgently re-
quested by General Gomez, but this matter
is now under advisement, and it is not inn
possible that the War Department will hold
that it has quite as much right to apply the
income of Cuba to paying off these men, and
thus giving them a new start in life, as it
has to employ laborers on public works with
the same general end in view.

lean now in China, who has recently toured
in Siberia, Mongolia and Manchuria, as to
American relations with Russia and Great
Britain He is represented as saying: THE
United States has nothing to fear from Rus
sia and nothing to gain by helping England
in the coming war. AS soon as Russia's rail-
way schemes are completed they will Rus
sianize and develop country whose mineral
wealth is unlimited. England's only hope is
to organize the Chinese into a large army
to oppose Russia. This may mean war, but
better war now than fifty years hence when

RoosEvEIlT,s MESSAGE.
The Late War, State Labor Laws and
The NatiOnnl Gunrd Discussed.


ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 4-The state Legis-
lature convened to-day. In both the Assem-
bly, and the Senate the Republican caucus
nominees were elected. Fred Dixon, Of
Chautauqua county, was made speaker OF
the Assembly and Archie Baxter, Of Che
mung, was chosen clerk. In the Senate
It. T.. Ellsworth of Niagara county, and
James S. Whipple of Cattaraugus county,
were elected temporary chairman and clerk,
respectively. After a brief address by Lieu
tenant Governor Woodruff the annual
message of the Governor, Theodore RoOse-
velt was read. The message opens with a
reference TO the alacrity with which New
York responded TO the call for volunteers
to engage in the war with Spain. I'VE are
Americans" the Governor continued, 'and
the interests Of all Americans are equally
dear to the men Of the Empire State. As
we grow into a mighty nation, which,
whether it will or not, must inevitably play
a great part for good or evil In the affairs
of the world at large. the people Of New
York wish 1t understood that they look at
all American questions of foreign policy
through a national standpoint. The tropical
islands we have taken must neither be al
lowed to lapse into anarchy nor 20 return
under the sway Of tyranny. War is grim
thing at best, but the war through which
we have passed has left US not merely
memories Of glory won on land and sea, but
an even more blessed heritage, the knowl-
edge that it was waged from the highest
motives, for the good of others as well as
for our own national honor. Above all We
are thankful that 1t brought home to all
of US the fact that the country was indeed
one when serious danger confronted 1t. The
men from the East and the West, from the
North and the South, the sons Of those who
wore the blue and of those who wore the
gray, stood shoulder TO shoulder in the
fight, met the same dangers, shared the
same hardships and won the same ultimate
triumph"

TEN MILLIONS FOR A PRINCE.
Ex-EmpFess Eugene Decides to Make
Victor Napoleon Her Heir.

PARIS, Jan. 4.-The announcement is
made, on the authority of a member of the
Bonapartist family, that ex-Empress Eu-
genie has decided to make Prince Victor
Napoleon her heir to the $l0000,000 fund
which the Emperor arranged with several
insurance companies to pay on the death of
the Empress. Prince Victor is the youngest
son of Jerome Bonaparte, and is favored by
many of the Bonapartists as rightful heir to
the throne. 1t has always been supposed
that Eugene favored the elder brother,
Prince Louis. The ex-Empress is full of
confidence for speedy triumph of Bona
partisan. Prince Louis has been such
spendthrift that the funds would not be
safe in his hands. With so much money
and the prestige of personal popularity
Prince Victor Will undoubtedly be able in
the future to stir up France.
