Honolulu, June IS. (via steamer Rio de Janeiro, to San Francisco,) J June 25.-It is almost certain that the chest of $25, 1000 in gold lost from the steamship Alameda, left the ship at this port Tn fact, Marshal Brown has in his possession today almost con- elusive evidence that such was the case The man who it is believed rob bed the ship, is also known. but he has skipped beyond the pale of the Hawaiian law. He $ now in Japan and may eventually be caught by the Oceanic Steamship company, which has a powerful detective agency on his tracks.
 The mans name is supposed to be Wilson, an Australian He has been suspected in other robberies between Sydney and Auckland When the Alameda sailed from Australia this man was a passenger for San Fran cisco. He left the boat here on the Z5th. On June first he sailed by the Gaelic for the Orient. Marshal Brown does not know just how the thief brought the treasure ashore but the transfer is admittedly not a hard mat ter. It is presumed that the thief had accomplices and they brought it off n number of visits aboard the ship at the dock. The coin weighed about one hundred pounds

TO ABANDON CAMP MEADE.
Soldiers From the Tropics Going 10
 Lake Champlain.

Washington. D. C., June 25.-The War Department is preparing to ac- l commodate the troops, who are to be returned to the United States from Cuba and Porto Rico during the sum- mer ai the military posts of Fort Ethan Aller and PlattSburg. on the shores of Lake ChampIain. an ideal place for the recuperation of the sol dierS exhausted by tropical heats and levers. At PlattSburg there are ac- commodati0ns for twelve companies. and at Ethan Allen for eight, and it is not expected there will be a demand for more than that. Having thus in sured the comfort and healthful plac- ing of the soldiers who must be de tained for a time in camp or post, the War Department will abandon Camp Meade, Penn. There are now at this camp. the 2d Immunes. one full regi- ment. and the 18th Infantry. just re- turned from Porto Rico. The Immunes will be mustered out of the service on the 22nd instant, and the 18th Infantry will start July 3 for San Francisco, where they are to take the steamer, City of Para, sailing on the 10th for Manila.
 There being no further use for Camp Meade, sft will be abandoned and the necessary orders will issue as soon as Secretary Alger returns to Washing ton.
 The officials of the War Department say that while they cannot but resent the persecution to which the soldiers at Meade have been subject at the hands of the saloon keepers and other elements, in the suppression of their canteen, the actual reason for the abandonment of Meade is because there is TO further use for the camp site.

 She is however.a much larger cruiS- CT than the SfaX. which is bringing Capt Dreyfus and tho dispatch of the big vessel with carrier pigeons is quite unprecedented.

General Roget next spoke Of the ar

that while Intelligent and industrious,

duties"
Replying to a question Of the court.
General Roget said that 30 far as he
knew, Dreyfus had only once been given
an imaginary task as test.

NJ. Bertulus described how Major
Ravary asked his assistance In examln-
ing the secret dossler at the cherche
Midi prison, and how, after he had
learned the contents OF the document,
he declared to Major Ravary that there
was nav in the dossler which would
occasion the collapse OF the whole case.
Tho witness explained that he meant
the Petit Bleu. 1t must be proved. he
told the major. that the Petit Bleu was
a forgery, and the work Of Colonel Pic
quart, and that as long as that was not
proved the case could not hold.
Continuing, NJ Bertulus recapItulated
the evidence he had given before the
court Of cessation, his investigation In
to Patty de CLAIMS connection with the
"speranza" and blanche" kilograms,
and the favorable impression he had ac-
quIred of Colonel PIcquart's honesty
during the court OF Inquiry.
Witness repeated the story OF Colonel
Picquart's dismissal from the army,
and Plcquart's denuncIatlon Of Ester
haSy and Paty de Clam, and dwelt ex-
haustIvely on his laborIous inquiry Into
the charges against Esterhazy. descrlb-
ing the papers found at the residence Of
Mile. Pays, where Esterhazy sought
refuge.
NJ. BertuIus then related the notable
Interview between himself and LIEUT.
Colonel Henry on July IS. 1905. shortly
before Henry committed suicide. This,
naturally, was a painful recital for
Madame Henry. the widow, who was
much distressed. and wept silently as
the dramatic scene when Bertulus and
Henry proceedde to seal up the seized
papers was depicted. The magistrate
repeated the whole story with empha-
sis, and it had great effect upon the
audience.
After recapltulatlng his other evil
dence before the court OF cessation, NJ.
Bertulus energetlcally affirmed his be-
lief In the innocence Of Dreyfus. He
declared the bordereau was In three
pieces, and not In little bits. He also
said It did not reach the war office in
the ordinary channels.
The court adjourned inter partly
hearing Colonel Picquart, who will con-
tinue his deposition Tomorrow.
