THE CAPT. DREYFUS SCANDAL
HAS NOW ENTERED ONE OF ITS
BIITEREST CHAPTERS.
Ragtng-NI. Quesnay De Beaurespaire
Thought of as Leader Against the
c-ExhOrting the Government
to Take Case from Crimi nal Tribunal

Paris, Jan. 10.-The Dreyfus affair
has now entered one of it's bitterest
! chapters Accusations vituperations
and threats are raging in the cafes and
among the scores of boulevard sheets
many Of which have found their sole
reason for existence for months past in
the unhappy strife they foment. 1t is
! regarded by impartial observers as the
/ most dangerous factor to the institu-
tions of the republic that the affair has
yet developed that the president of one of
| the chambers of the court of cessation
should head an agitation against the
tribunal. The method he employs of
appealing to the populace through the
newspapers, in the eyes of the most
conservative, aggravates his course by
its lack of dignity. 1t is evident that
he, believing that the court of cassa-
tion will decide in favor Of Dreyfus, in
( tends to divest the decision of all
weight by impeaching its fairness in
advance; and he seems likely to sue
ceed, SO far as the anti-Dreyfusards,
many of whom have hitherto respected
the court but are only eager to find eX-
cuSes for diScrediting 1T, are concerned.
The opinion is gaining ground that
the opponents of the republic may find
in this man, M Quesnay De Beaures-
paire, leader, the lack of whom has
hitherto been the chief guarantee Of the
continuance of the present regime. He
bp take the
Dreyfus case from the hands of the
criminal chamber and TO entrust it to the
forty-nine magistrates composing the
whole court or to five of the Oldest JUS
tees. He appeals to the Dreyfusards,
as follows: "Repudiate NJ. Loew and
the others who serve you too we'll not
to serve you badly. Accept instead
magistrates without preconceived opin-
ions, men who are honest and slaves OF
the law"
The gist of NJ. De Baurespaire's
charges is that M. Loew confessed to
M. Picquart privately and instructed
the clerk of the court to express to him
the courts regret at having kept him
waiting and being unable to hear him
that day, which the clerk refused to do.
requested a messenger to take Colonel
Piccuart glass of wine.
The Matin asserts that when Cen
eral Billet, (former minister of wary,
was before the court drink was offered
him also. To such trifles has the strife
descended. The papers heatedly affirm
and deny the statement as to Billet |
who has been appealed to to settle the
but he refuses to speak. 1t is
believed that Only fifteen judpeS in th,, /
whole court have Dreyfus leanings, so
the hearing thus far is to the advan-
tage of the anti-Dreyfusards

TIRE BEL1TED ST. P4EL .1RRIVES,
Had Unusually stormy Passnge-Acct-
dent to Steam Appnratus

| New York, Jan. 1O-The belated
American line steamer st. Paul. Captain
Jameson, which sailed from Southamp
ton on January 1, shortly after noon,
and entered the channel in the teeth of
fresh west-southwest gale with heavy
breaking sea. On the second, the wind
still blew from the west with a heavy
sea. On the third the wind increased
in fury and blew with terrific force. At
noon of this date the ships position be-
ing latutde 50.11, longitude 22.O2 Chief
Engineer Hunter, who was making his
usual inspection of the steamers en-
gines, discovered a flaw, or crack in
the main steam pipe supply of the star
board engine. Captain Jameson was
quickly notified of the condition of the
steam pipe and it was decided to reduce
the pressure of steam on both engines
to 100 pounds, just one-half the engines
capacity, when running at full speed
The steamer proceeded on her voy-
age making twelve and half to four
teen knots per hour, as the state of the
weather permitted. During the re-
mainder of her passage a careful watch
was kept on the disabled steam pipe
without showing any further weakness.
During the following days the St. Paul
experienced most tempestuous wealth
er, gales shifting between west south
west and st-northwest, with high
westerly seas. The passengers of the
st. Paul on being informed Of the ac-
cident to the steam pipe and a some
what protracted voyage in consequence,
took the matter good naturedly, and
on arrival at quarantine complimented
Captain Jameson and Chief Engineer
Hunter and his staff for their vigilance
and good seamanship in bringing the
steamer to port after a perilous and
stormy voyage. The st. Paul, after a
brief inspection by the health officer at
quarantine, proceeded to her dock about
Z a. m. She brought 81 saloon, so sec
ond cabin and 81 steerage passengers, a
total of 100 passengers. The steamers
officers and crew number 332 all told.

PROBING ARMY "BEEE', SC1NDAL.
Two WITNESSES Before the War Investi-
eating Com Mission.

| Washington, Jan. 10.-Lieutenant
| Colonel Gallagher of the commissary
| department, who was in charge of the
commissary depot at Shafter's head
quarters before Santiago, re-appeared
| before the war investigation commits
sion to-day. During his incumbency
he said he issued about 100000 pounds
of refrigerator beef. 1t was carefully
inspected and was all fine meat. He
said about 4200 pounds of beef was
condemned by board of survey after
it had reached the camps, which were
from two to six miles from the trans
ports. The meat deteriorated between
the transports and the camps. He was
now issuing meat for about 10000 men
at Augusta. 1t was good meat and he
should decidedly recommend the con-
tinuation of this class of beef He con-
sidered the refrigerator beef certainly
as good as any native beef that could
be had in Cuba When troops were
forced in the interior he recommended
furnishing them beef on the hoof. Re-
garding the canned roast or boiled
beef, he said it was good, though not
particularly attractive and our men
soon tired of it. The Spanish prisoners
and the Cubans liked it, preferring it to
bacon.
Captain James C. Read, commissary
of subsistence in the volunteers who
served on the transports Massachusetts
and Mobile, described in detail his eX-
perience on the Massachusetts, which
delivered a large cargo of refrigerator
beef to Porto Rico and Santiago. He
said the beef was on board and in course
Of delivery from July 25 to Septemb ar
%. 1t was of fine quality and was per-
fectly good so long as witness had any
thing to do with IT, He had nsver
ment of the meat until he read the
charges in the newspapers. Asked if he
had had any official complaint about the
beef while in Porto Rico, he said all that
was said to him on that line was by
General Miles at the latter's headquar-
eral Miles" said the witness, about
the presence of the beef on the ship.
He said I understand that beef is not
good, Do you know that it is ! re-
piled that it was good. I understand
replied General Miles, that it is not
good and l can secure right here all the
native beef l want That was all"

meats was refrigerated beet

they have separate instructors. but
nothing definite will be determined up

GROUNDING or MISSACHUSE1TS
Revision Proceedings Result I'm Fixing
the ResnOnsibilItY.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Secretary Long
to-day announced that as result of
the revision of the proceedings OF the
court of inquiry at New York into the
circumstances connected with the
grounding of the battleship Massachn-
setts and the reopening of the case by
the court, it had rendered a verdict that
the ship grounded through the negli-
gence of Pilot Bell, Captain Ludlow
and Lieutenant Commander Potts, the
navigator of the vessel. The negligence
lay in their failure to have on the bridge
the latest charts of New York harbor.
The secretary said that he had the re-
port of the court under consideration.
He would not indicate what disposition
he would make of it. In view of the
finding, however, it is not to be seen
how court martial can be avoided.
