29.-Recent events have proved some
what dlscouraging to officials who are
trying to accompany war with policy
of Cancellation. Two new municipal
governments have collapsed through
the treachery of the mayors.
Sunday the mayor of San Pedro Ma
cati, who was elected by the people UNI
der the direction of Prof Dean
Worcester of the United States adj
visory commission for the Philippines,
was brought to Manila and lodged in
Jail. The United States officers at San
Pedro Macati found that he was using
his Office az a recruiting station for the
Philippine army. Four disguised in
surgent officers were helping him.
The mayor Of Balinag was asso ar
rested and confined in the same prison
The Americans caught him passing be
tween the lines of the two armies with
discriminating documents, which the
authorities secured Another promi-
nent mayor is under surveillance.
Such events and conditions tend to
give color to the assertions of foreign
residents acquainted with the native
character, who insist that great ma
jority of the natives sympathize with
the insurgents and elect officials whom
they know to be revolutionists.

Indications That He Will Be Nominated
Mt GAINESVILLE.

GAINESVILLE, Ohio, Aug. 29.-While
there are only few of the delegates
here for the democratic state conven-
ton, yet most of the candidates and
their workers are on hand. The dele
gates will all be in tomorrow for the
conferences during the forenoon. and
the regular district meetings in the af-
ternoon and the meetings Of the COM
mittees in the evening. A full state
ticket is to be nominated, including
candidates for governor, lieutenant
governor, encouragement, auditor,
treasurer, supreme JUICE and mem
Der of the board of public works.
For months there has been an ami
mated contest in the lightweight
counties for the nomination for gov
ernor between John r. Mclean, Col.
James Kilbourne. Congressman John ].
Lentz, Gen. Isaac r. Sherwood, Mayor
James A. Rice, Charles l.. Haskell col.
James p. Seward, Horace l.. Chapman
and others. The contest was really
between Mclean and Kilbourne, as
the delegates instructed for the others
were also listed on their second choices
for either Mclean or Kilbourne. Dur
ing the last week it has been the fed
against Mclean but the closing coun-
ty conventions of last Saturday gave
him such lead that he has since been
considered master of the situation.
There were conferences of the leaders
yesterday in Cincinnati and in Column
bus that are expected to result in an
agreement when all the leading candi-
dates and their managers meet here.
There are no differences over the
platform, but there are hot contests for
places on the state committee, which
will hold over for the presidential year.

EVIDENCE HELPS DREYFUS.
Handwriting Experts lake Issue
with M. Bertilon.
ESTERHAZY THE CRIMINAL.
Opinion as to Who Wrote the Bordereau
Is Now About Equally Divided-M. de
Freycinet, Former Minister of War. Is
TO Testify Today.

Rennes, Aug. 29.-In todays court
martial proceedings two handwriting
experts who testified at the trial in 1894
that Dreyfus had certainly written the
bordereau declared they are now con-
WINGED that Esterhazy is the author.
MERCER was present when the court
convened, despite the rumor that he
had left France fearing his arrest, upon
which, it was said, the government had
decided.
The first witness called was NJ. Pa
ray-Javal, the draughtsman, whose evil
dence was interrupted on Saturday by
the adjournment of the court. M.
Paray-Javal demonstrated the fallacy
OF NJ. Bertillon's calculations and criti-
cised the latters unfairness in not sub
jecting Esterhazy's handwriting to the
same tests as the prisoners writing. At
the same time the draughtsman de-
clared that even if NJ. Bertillon had
done so the results would not have
proved anything.
When two witnesses had testified
and argued against NJ. Bertillon's sys-
TEN, it was the opinion of the sympa-
thizers of Dreyfus that If the state
ments of the witnesses were correct
they had simply pulverized M. Bertil-
lon. The latter wished to reply, but
the president of the court, NJ. Jouaust,
declined to allow the specialist to go
over his evidence again, taking the
ground that the evidence would never
end if every expert did the same.
M. Tessionere's testimony against
Dreyfus then followed and then Nj.
Charavay, the expert who had previ-
ously declared Dreyfus was the author
of the bordereau, was called to the wit
ness bar His testimony proved to be
of the greatest interest, as he came to
confess he had made an error. and said
he was now convinced that Esterhazy
and not Dreyfus wrote the bordereau.
This announcement made a deep i'm
preston on the court ard was greeted
with general murmur Of satisfaction.
The next expert, NJ. Pelletier, also tes-
tilted favorably to Dreyfus.
The fina witness, M. Varinaud, main
tanned the declaration he had made be-
fore the Court of Cessation, that the
bordereau was not written by Ester
hazy. Col. Jouaust then announced
that NJ. de Freycinet, who resigned as
minister of war May of the present
year and who was succeeded by NJ.
Krantz, who in turn was succeeded by
Gen. lie Marquis de Gallifet on the
downfall of the Dupuy ministry, would
be among the witnesses tomorrow,
and the session was closed with the re-
quest that a rogatory commission be
sent to Col. Patty du Clam, whose ILL
ness prevents his attendance in court,
to which Col. Jouaust agreed.
This step does not satisfy the de-
tense, but they acquiesced to the COM
mission, taking Du Patty de CLANS
testimony on the principle that half a
loaf is better than no bread.

Authorities Have Completed Arrange
ments for Possible Conflict.
London, Aug. 29.-Spccial dispatches
from South Africa and elsewhere show
that preparations for war are actively
in progress on both sides to the dis
pute between Great Britain and the
Transvaal. The dispatches from South
Africa all lay stress on the feeling OF
anxiety and unrest that prevails there,
and declare that no confidence is felt
in the promises OF the Beers.
All the morning papers comment ed
itorially on the speech delivered by
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain at
Birmingham yesterday. They are
unanimous on one point. expressing in
practically identical phraseology the
fact that the matter is now at the
eleventh hour, and that the issue is in
President Kruger's hands.
A dispatch to the Daily News from
johannesburg says that many small
traders are being ruined by political
uncertainty, which has caused stagna'
ticn of business. Fifteen hundred fam
lilies are in receipt of daily relief, aud
there is much distress that is not re-

Shanghai, Aug. 29-As the outcome
of a dispute regarding some lands at

were purchased in 1863 by the concern
of Jaruine, Matheson & Co., but were
subsequently included in the new con
cessions TO Russia, the owners, under
the advice and protection of Mr.

men to fence in the tract.
After the work was begun a dozen

DIscred,t Rumors of Alliance.

Yokohama, Aug. II, via Victoria, B.
c., Aug. 29.-The papers Of last week,
both native and foreign, have been
filled with rumors of an alliance OF
some sort between China and Japan.
Among me best informed little ere
dence is given to popular rumors. At
the same time it is known that i'm
portant negotiations of some sort are
going on between the two govern
ments.
Conjoined with the gossip about
China it is but natural that there
should be reports of strained relations
between japan and Russia. The time
is not yet ripe, however, for Japan,
even with China to aid her, to try con-
illusions with her northern foe.
