THE PLOT AGAINST DREYFus.

Would be- Murderer OF Labor Was
Hired By Assassination Syndicate.
NEW YORK. Aug, i6.--Joseph Rein
Ach ,abled the following statement TO
the Journal and Advertiser;
THE shooting Of Labor win warm
up the atmosphere Of the court. as
e has diAsusted honest men
The attempted assassination is not
the outcome OF weak mind. II is part
OF n general plan. is cold blooded. pre-
medilated and paid for.
The crime syndicate OF assassination
feared Liblri and wanted his life and
documents. The same men are respon-
sible for the razor which cut Henry's
throat; Cor the rope which hung Lo-
crinier and the pistol that shot La
borl History furnishes no example Of
crime so atrocious
The plot includes the murder OF
Dreyfls, II acquitted. The murderers
who ordered the assassination win
yet be caught. No compromise verdict
Is possible now. The judges who
hitherto would have been willing to
throw a sop TO the anti-Dreyfusards,
win now make no concessions
They stole Labori's papers 70 feed
the dossier. My letter. which was
among the stolen documents, viii not
give the dossier much nourishment.
IL viii doubtless be claimed by the
murder party that the 'Anglo-German
syndicate hired the nan TO shoot La
bori, in order to awaken sympathy for
Dreyfus.
The army accusers are now in full
retreat and hoping for revolution.
There have been several combinations
made 10 murder Dreyfus. The murderer
has many accompliees, The plot has
a platform OF two planks; first, subver-
sion Of the republic; second, the muir
der OF those who renounee the gang
OF forgers.
I.aborl's blood stirs honest souls.
All look forward to speedy acquital
of Dreyfus,"

Morayis Is totally destroyed. Al cia-
les twenty persons we're killed. Many
are missing at Barcelonita. seyenEes-
dents we're killed. At cayey the death
roll il az least ninety.
II Is impossible TO estimate the loss
Of life and property In the country dis
trictA Every river Is swollen and
passage Is well nigh impossible. The
crops are totally destroyed. Children
are dying by hundreds from starvation
and exposure.
All the people are focking 20 Bayamo
for food AMI shelter. A courier has
Just arrived here from Yabucoa. He
says the town was demolished by the
storm. Alrea iy So bodies have been
recovered and II Is estimated that 200
perishei. Many are wounded. Medi-
cal assistance Is scarce in all parts Of
the island. What makes the present
distress greater Is the fact that
month ago all public improvements
we're stopped owing TO the lack Of ap-
propria.ions. Thousands Of persons
were then thrown out Of employment
A renewal Of public work would be a
great relief Many planters and mer-
chants are ruined and cannot give en-
ployment.
General Davi ssays the latest reports
show the diaster TO be greater than
he had anticipated and extends over
the whole island He is doing every
thing in his power TO alleviate the suf-
fering and has every confidence in
generous results from his appeals to
the American people. Where possible,
the troops that lost their shelter in the
hurricane have been ordered to San
Juan. Mayaguek is suffering but slight
ly. All the vessels in the harbor are
ashore.

course obviate .he necessity Of sending
any additional volunteers to the Phil
