FRIENDS ON EVERY SIDE
DREYFUS OBTAINS SYMPATHY
EVERYWHERE.
Prince of Monaco Invites Him TO His
Chateau-Goorsia Ladies Subscrib-
ing for a Jeweled sword.

PARIS, July 1.-The Figaro publishes
the following letter from the Prince
of Monaco to Nine Dreyfus:
Madame: You have with admirable
courage defended the honor of your
husband, and triumphant justice brings
to you the reparatiOn due. In order to
help you to forget such suffering and
such grief | invite your husband to
come to my Chateau de Marchas so
soon as the holy work of justice has
! been accomplished. The presence of the
martyr toward whom the conscience of
humanity turned i'm it's anguish will
/ honor my house. Among the sympathy
| which you receive none Is more sin
cere and none more respectful than
mine.
| The Chateau de Marchais. the au-
| tumn residence of the Prince of Mo-
naco, is, says the Figaro, in Aisne De-
| partment twenty kilometers from
! Laon.
Captain Cohinere de Nordeck. com
mander of the French cruiser Sfax
| which brought Captain Dreyfus to
! France, says in an interview published
that he was struck by the immense
power of self-control displayed by Cap
tain Dreyfus during the voyage. The
prisoners attitude throughout was
"one of irony and disdain.' He had
| been suffering severely from sea sick
! ness Wien ne was transferred 10 lne
SfaX, but he walked with firm tread
and during the entire trip never show
ed sign of weakness or nervousness.
Captain DreYfus was ignorant of the
fact that a new court martial awaited
him and remained i'm ignorance during
the first part of the voyage. When
he was finally informed not a muscle
of his face moved. He merely said:
Il have no i'll will toward anybody. I
shall be glad to re-enter the army,
which l have never ceased to love"
He did not allude to the subject
again during the voyage. Most of the
time he passed in reading.
As the outcome of the Government S
prudence all France remains tranquil

Maitre Laborie. who will defend Cap
tain Dreyfus before the court martial
has never yet seen him. and Nine
Dreyfus has only obtained permission
to visit her husband thrice weekly for
an hour. His compOsure is the theme
of all tongues. 1t seems that on the
train one of the officers began to read
a newspaper but although Dreyfus had
not seen a paper since he left France
he did not display the slightest inter
est. He speaks very little and seems
to suffer a partial paralysis of speech
owing to his long silence. Even or
board the SfaX he had to communicate
with the officers by writing. He is
credited on good authority with the
following:
MY condemnation and sentence were
the symbol of anti-Jewish Odium. Ny
Judges We're involuntarily deceived
May my undeserved eXpiation put az
end to all racial or religious feudS il

have passionately loved and served.

RENNES, July Mime. Dreyfus had
a third interview with her husband
this afternoon. She found him much
better. He received her with smiles
instead of tears. Overdoses of quinine
while on Devils Island left him with
a serious Indigestion. He expresses
himself convinced that he will be ac-
quilted.
ATLANTA, Ga, July Mrs. Jos. r
| EiChberg of Atlanta, assisted by sew.
eral leading women of this city, has
started a movement to raise $4,000 with
, which to purchase a fine jeweleG
sword to be presented to Captain
Dreyfus. Mrs. Eichberg thinks the
sword of the captain, which was brok.
en- to disgrace him. should be replaced
by one presented by his American
friends, and she is actively engaged
in obtaining subscriptions before or.
dering the sword in New York to be-
handed to Captain Dreyfus at the enc
of his trial in Rennes. Much Interest
has been aroused in the movement
especially among the Atlanta Hebrews
and there seems no doubt that funds
will be quickly raised. Mrs. Eichberf
will ask the French Government fol
permission to present the sword.
