DREYFUS COURT-MART|AL
To Commence with Discussion of
the Secret Dossier.
CHARGES OF BRIBERY,
Gen. Mercier Claims to Have Dccu-
mentary Proof of Drey-
fus' Guilt.

Rennes, Aug. 4.-Owing to the active
newspaper campaign against holding the
Dreyfus court-martal in the insanitary
Sale de la Manutention, the authorities
have decided to hold the trial in the Ly-
Gee, where a magnificent hall is avail
able.
Officers here who do not belong to the
garrison have been ordered to depart by
the west offices of the garrison.
The first session of the court is expect
ed to be short. After reading the report
Of Maj. Carriere who represents the
government, the court will adjourn to al
low the defense time to study the secret
dosSier. The trial is expected to be re-
sumed Wednesday or Thursday.
There is some disappointment over the
announcement that the secret dossier will
form the commencement of the trial. and
the discussion of which only Dreyfus, his
lawyers and the council OF war will be
allowed to hear. 1t is believed the study
of the documents will last some days,
and practically postpone the public trial
for several days.
1t is reported that Carriere will make
no definite personal conclusions III the
DreyfuS case. but limits himself to citing
able, to Dreyfus, and leaves the conclu-
sions to be drawn by the military court.
The latter is inclined not to give a def
mite Judgment, but, instead, to order u
new inquiry.
The lntransigeant (antiDreyfus) pub
fishes a statement which Gen. MERCER is
alleged to have made TO friend, in
which the eX-minister of war said: Ger
tainly Dreyfus will be convicted again.
Either he is guilty Or | am, and l shall
prove him to be the traitor
The anti-Dreyfus organs assert that
Gen. MERCER intends to declare at
Rennes that Count Munster. the German
ambassador to France, showed him the
proof of Dreytus' guilt, at the same time
saying that if MERCER published this evil
dence he Munster would deny it.
The anti-Dreyfusards are rejoicing at
an alleged attempt on the part of GER
tain Dreyfus sympathiZers to bride some
important witnesses. NJ. Hennion, the
director Of surety. says the alleged at
tempt is purely a personal affair on the
part of the briber

BECAUSE OF HIS FAITH.
Hebrew Cadet at West Point Re-
signs to Escape Ostracism-
Denied by Officers.

Lancaster, Pa, Aug. "a sensation
has been caused by the resignation from
the West Point Military academy of
Sigmund S. Albert, son of a prominent
Jewish merchant of Lanca ster, because
of the persecution to which he was sub
jected by the other cadets on account of
his religious faith. The young man re-
fuses to talk except to say his reason for
resigning was that he had a distaste for
the life at West Point. He intimated
that he could tell some things worth be-
ing made public if he desired to do so.
Friends, however, say Albert was forced
out of the academy through the persecu-
ton to which he was subjected for being
of the Hebrew faith
New York, Aug. 5.-Officers and cadets

CONFINED TO HAMPTON.
There is Nothing to Indicate Any
Further Spread Of Yellow
Fever in Virginia.

Washington. D. c., Aug. 5.-The Ma
rine hospital service has no news UP to
noon to indicate any further spread of
the yellow fever around Hampton. While
the situation is regarded as encouraging
it is not proposed to leave any possible
loophole for the spread of the disease out
side of the already established quarantine
lines. DR.. Wyman has therefore ordered
Surgeon Donaldson to begin a town-to-
town inspection along the railway line

GOLD CERTIFICATES.
Ten Million Dollars to be Issued by
Treasury Department,

Washington, D. c., Aug. 5.-The
treasury department today made requi-
sition upon the bureau of engraving and
printing for the printing of $10,OO0,OOO
in gold certificates, in denomina tons of
$50 each. The treasurer now holds large
unissued supply of certificates of the
larger denominations. 1t is the evident
intention of the treasury department to
be in a position to issue gold certificates
freely for gold coin, should the fall move
ment of currency lead to a demand at the
treasury for gold certificates in exchange
for gold coin. 1t is to be noted that while
gold coins can be freely had in denomi-
nations of ives and tens, the law re-
stricts the issue of certificates to denomi-
nations of twenty dollars or multiples
thereof. It is a debatable question
whether gold certificates will Adequately

MUST PAY THE DUTY.
For Tariff Purposes Santiago is a
Foreign Port.

New York. Aug. 4.-The United States
board of general appraisers filed decis-
ion today in which they ruled that Wal
ter l.. Saxon of New Orleans must pay
duty upon a miscellaneous cargo which
left New Orleans in July, 1898, on steam
er Espana and which was brought back
to New Orleans by the same vessel after
an unsuccessful attempt had been made
to land the goods at Santiago.
Santiago, at the time of the shipment
was possession Of Spain, but within the
military possession of the United States
Mr. Saxon claimed that no duty at all
should be imposed. The appraisers had
precedent in making their decision. The
United States circuit court ruled that
''the conquest and occupation of Santiago
by the United States military authorities
did not make that territory part of the
United States. For tariff purposes it re-
manned a foreign port"

wearing of heavy mourning is a mistake.
