ing counsel for the defence. The fea-
ture OF the days proceedings was the
story of the sufferings of Dreyfus on
Devils island, his prison, off the coast
of French Guiana. Dreyfus wept in
court when the clerk read a document
recounting the details Of his incarcera-

The proceedings opened with the APP

Journment. This was vigorously denied.
This was followed by the deposition OF
a. Guerin, the former minister of JUS
tice, who, however, only repeated the
evidence he had given before the court

M. Lebon, former minister Of the col
onies, was then summoned to testify re-
garding his treatment OF the prisoner.
He said that when the cabinet was
asked to intervene in favor Of revis-
ion he thought the executive should not
interfere with the Judiciary. and his re-

ened by his personal opinion of the Gull

dramatically, Il say l regard the mea-

Some Quaint Sayings.

BY Missouri Cob Pipe Philosopher
All of US live to learn, but lots
of US live more than we learn.
Noah had some shortcomings,
yet he was smart enough to go
in out of the wet.
The man who becomes thor
oughly contented has outlived
his usefulness.
The same chances make a sue
cess of one man and an ass of
another.
Economy is a good thing, but
to set hen on one egg is prac-
ticing the matter a little too
closely.
If all the devil was cast out of
some people they would be too
weak to stand alone.
When a man divides all his
property among his children and
looks to them for care in old age,
he ought to sit down and send a
note to the fool-killer to come on
the first express. He is too far
gone to doctor.

Bankruptcy Case.
Boise Statesman.

ooiSO oSaeSSuAah-
David L. Rich, the Challis mer-
chant, arrived in the city yester-
terday to answer the involuntary
bankruptcy proceedings com
menced against him in the fed
eral court in the interest of San
Francisco wholesale houses, to
whom Mr.. Rich is indebted to
the extent of $4,000. In connec-
ton with the commencement of
the bankruptcy proceedings a
temporary injunction was issued
restraining DIR. Spencer L. Rog-
ers, a brother in law of Mr..
Rich, to whom the merchant has
given a chattle mortgage for 50,
572.27, from disposing of any OF
the goods, the inference gather
ed from the papers being that
Rogers had taken charge of the
stock.
Mr.. Rich states that the stock
and the store have never for a
moment been under the charge
or control of any one but him
self and he has affidavits of a
number of the most prominent
citizens of Challis, including
most of the county officers and
merchants, to that effect. He
has an affidavit made by Mr..
Rogers stating the chattle mort
gage was not given for the pur-
pose of cheating, hindering or
delaying Rich's creditors but
merely to secure his (Rogers')
claim. The affidavit also states
that Rogers never has been in
charge of the store.
AS soon as the injunction was
served on Mr.. Rogers, Mr.. Rich
closed his place of business, put
the key in his pocket end came
to Boise. II do not believe" he
said yesterday to a reporter,
that had the SanFrancisco people
understood the situation they
would have instituted this pro-
ceeding. 1t certainly was very
unfair to me, as l have been act
ing in entire good faith. My
opinion is that the condition has
been misrepresented to them, but
not by my business competitors
in Challis. all of whom came to
me with assurances of their de-
sire to aid me in any possible
way"
Mr.. Rich said he borrowed the
money from his brother-in-la law
TO buy out his partner, Mr.,
Pierce, who went to Alaska. He
had paid $500 on the mortgage
and had $3.50 more to pay Mr.,
Rogers when the order of the
court was received. He stated
that his assets amounted to over
$4,000 and his liabilities to 5000,

from charging across. The
Americans pushed steadily for
ward until they reached the
bank of the river.
Our men were so close to the
enemy that they could see their
heads above the earthworks.
The Americans kept up a tre-
mendous fire in spite of the gall
ing return, and it seemed as
though every man must certain
ly be hit. A few minntes after
the Americans had reached the
bridge approach, several were
wounded, some mortally. 1t was
not long before the rebels began
to grow restive under the hail of
bullets, and finally broke and
run. The Americans then Jump
ed along the bank of the river

MANILA, June 13.-Early this
morning an insurgent battery
below Las Pinas consisting of
one smooth bore gun and two
one Founders opened fire on our
lines. The second shot burst in
the camp of the Fourteenth in
fantry, wounding one man. A
vigorous reply was kept up all
morning from six guns of the
first artillery under Lieut.. Ken
ley, the engagement being the
first real artillery duel of war.
Several of the enemy's shells
burst near our guns without do
ing any damage. The Monitor
Monadnock and gunboat Helena
joined in the chorus with a con-
tinuous fire from all guns from
12-inch to Colts automatic.
In the meantime two compan-
les of the Twenty First Infantry
made reconnaissance in force
under the personal direction of
General Lawton over mud flats,
creeks and dykes between the
road and bay. They suddenly
encountered an unexpected force
of the enemy a mile and a half
below Las Pinas and were temp
orarily driven back. They raj
lied, however, and carried the
enemies first position, but in
advancing over the open space
met with such a hot cross fire
that they had to retire to cover.
Two lieutenants and nineteen
men were wounded. Realizing
the overwhelming force of the
enemy General Lawton ordered
up reinforcements.
The battalion of the 9th in
fantry moved along the bay and
battalion each of Twelfth and
Fourteenth infantry on the the
road advanced against the insur-
gent position at 1 o'clock, the
enemy having stubbornly held
their ground since daylight, de-
spite the heavy artillery and
naval fire of the Americans.
This afternoon advance in the
direction of Bakoor developed
into what turned out to be the
hardest fight since the outbreak
of hostilities with the Filipinos.
AS told Otis by General Pho del
Pillars, the Secretary who desert
ed from the insurgents a few
days ago, the bridge across the
Zapote river was selected by the
rebels as a point at which they
would attempt to prevent the
further advance of the Ameri-
cans. 1t was here the natives
during the rebellion against
Spain destroyed the entire Span
ish battalion of eighty men and
this afternoon made o most de-
termined stand, but were not
able to hold the position.

tain guns and two three-inch
guns with Company E, Four
