TINIQUE, June 7.-Dispatches from Cay
enne say all entrts 10 interview
Dreyfus have been futile. He is now
under the guard of Captain Cachoux, or
the gendarmerie. and four gendarmes.
The prisoner is apparently in good health,
but seems to be fatigued
The verdict Of the Court OF Cessation
has caused a very favorable impression
here and in French Guiana.
Captain Dreyfus will only resume his
uniform OF artillery captain on debarking
from the French cruiser SfaX at Brest.
CABLES TO HIS WIFE.
Captain Dreyfus has responded to the
telegram Of congratulation from his wife,
expressing his great JOY in the thought
that he will soon embrace her, their chill
dren. and the members Of the Dreyfus
family again. This prospect alone seems
to concern him. Ar all events, there was
not d word in the dispatch on the SUBJ
ject of the new trial
His face, after the first manifestations
of ioy at the moment when he received
the notification of the judgment of the
Court Of Cessation, resumed an aspect
OF tranquility and impassIVity; nor has
he since betrayed any sign Of either JOY
or anxiety.
