Florscheuts was often in charge Of the

Berlin, Sept. 9.-The Reichsanzeiger,
In the official portion of the paper,
publishes the following statement:
"We are authorized to repea: here
with the declarations which the inn
perial government, while loyalty OBJ
serving the reserve demanded in regard
to the internal matters Of another
country, has made concerning the
French captain, Dreyfus. For the
preservation of his own dignity and

Prince Munster, after obtaining the
orders of the emperor, repeatedly made
In December, 1894, and in January,
1895, to NJ. Hanotaux, M. Dupuy and
M. Casimir- Perier, declarations to the
effect that the imperial embassy in
France never maintained, either di-
rectly or indirectly, any relations with
Dreyfus.
Secretary of state Won Buelow, In

Trouble Feared in France.

Rennes, Sept 6.-As the end Of the
Dreyfus trial comes within sight, the
French government is beginning to
display fears that the verdict may give
rise to troubles, and orders have just
been received by two regiments Of
infantry and one cavalry regiment, al
ready within hail of Rennes, to hold
themselves in readiness to march on
the town at the first sign of disorder,
to occupy all strategic points and re-
press all manifestations in their incep-
ton.
Local anti-Drey fusard organizations,
by their anti-foreign articles, have al
ready singled out foreigners as enemies
of the country, and there is little doubt
that foreign journalists will be the
first victims of the violence of the mob,
not SO much Anglo-Saxons as Austrian,
German and Russian Jews, who form
majority of the press representation
of their respective countries.

DREYFUs TRIAL.
Counsel for Accused Man Springs . ssnsa-
ton on the Defsnss

ton ON the Defense.
Rennes, France, Sept. s.-M. Labor,
counsel for Dreyfus, created sensa-
ton BY asking the court to issue a sum
nuns for Colonel Schwartzkoppen
German military attache, and Colonel
PanizEardi. Italian military attache at
the time the military secrets of France
were sold, of which Dreyfus is ac-
cused. The court denied the applica-
ton. Labori then sent an impas-
stoned appeal. in the name of justice,
to the two sovereigns, to permit the
representatives of their governments
to come TO Rennes and testify.
The boldness of the move dazed and
then alarmed the prosecution and anti.
Dreyfus sympathizers, because it is re-
allied that they might not only clear
the accused, but fasten the infamy on
others Labori is denounced and ac-
cused of trickery for making the APP
peal.
Evidence throughout the trial has
been in favor Of the accused. 1t has
been shown that Esterhazy is guilty
OF part Of the offenses with which the
defendant is charged, and that the Sc
cret dosier, upon which Dreyfus was
formerly convicted, is composed largely
OF forged documents. The only evil
dence against the accused is the opin-
ion of generals in the army that he is
guilty, and these opinions may be
expressed to shield the real culprits.
Nevertheless, prejudice of the court
against Dreyfus is so marked that he
is in great danger Of being again con-
demned.
1t is believed that Emper William
will at least permit Schwartzkoppen
to make deposition to be read at the
trial. This is relied on to counteract
the prejudice of the court.

To Blockads tho PHILIPPINES.

Washington, Sept. THE matter of
making an effective blockade in the
Philippines and especially around the
island of Luzon, so as to prevent the
insurgents from obtaining ammunition
and supplies, is giving the army con-
siderable concern.
Whether or not it is feasible to at
tack, subdue and garrison all the ports
of Luzon which might serve as ports OF
supply for the Filipinos has not yet
been determined Heretofore there
have not been sufficient troops in Luzon
to make this possible and the question
will now arise whether troops had best
be spared for this purpose.
The president has been advised that
the navy should be utilized for the pur'
pose of preventing the introduction OF
contraband of war and supplies for the
Filipinos. At every port naval vessel
has been stationed and under the mill
tary law of the island every incoming
vessel can be made to exhibit it's mani
