Planning Philippine Campaign.

Washington, Sept. 9.-Activity OF
the war department officials aud the
close figuring that is being done re-
gsrding the available force in the Phil.
ippines, indicates an early movement.
by October General Otis will have
an army OF al 900 effective fighting
men. With the arrival at Manila OF
the other troops now being raised,
there may be formed another corps for
the purpose Of pursuing the Filipinos
III some other part of the island OF
Luzon.
Many officers look with favor upon
the suggestion that an army should be
landed at Lingayen and move down
the Dagupan railway, thus taking the
army of Aguinaldo in the rear,
This will necessitate the co-opera-
tion Of the navy, and the officials OF
the navy department have consulted
with the war department as to what
can be done to advantage in this direc-
tion. The navy has offered TO send a
squadron to Lingayen bay, subdue the
town and occupy it, thus making safe
landing for the army should the plaL
of attack be decided upon.

DREYFUS CONVICTED.
TRIAL COURT STOOD FIVE TO
TWO AGAINST HIM.
Germany's Denial of Prisoners Guilt Inten-
sihed Feeling Against Him Verdict
Denounced Outside of France.

Rennes, France, Sept l2.-Captain
Dreyfus has again been condemned by
courtmartial and his punishment fixed
at ten years detention The court
stood five for conviction to two for ac-
quiital The Judgment was read to
Dreyfus. who was in an adjoining
room. He listened impassively, did
not give the slightest sign Of emotion,
did not utter word, and marched
back to prison like an automaton,
The last hours of the trial added no
evidence of the prisoners guilt, yet
the impression was general that he
would be condemned. The announce
ment of the verdict caused no demon
stration, and few expressions of sym
pathy for Dreyfus were heard. The
fact that those parts of the secret dos
Dreyfus were shown to be forgeries
seemed to have little influence with
the court The statement published
in Germany, with the sanction of the
government, asserting the innocence
of the accused, probably Kindred
rather than helped the defense, as it
gave an opportunity to raise the old
cry that Germany was trying to save
the traitors neck.
The opinion prevails that Dreyfus
will soon be liberated. He has already
undergone five years solitary confine-
ment, which counts double, equalling
ten years detention President Lou
bet may also pardon him.
Thousands of telegrams of sympathy
from all parts of the world have been
received by the Dreyfus family.

respecting the innocence of Dreyfus
was made after careful examination
and consultation with the emperor.
These declarations did not meet in
France with the recognition they de-
served, and there is no guarantee that
Colonel Schwarzkoppen, as a witness,
would meet with any better reception.

Germany cannot again expose herself
to the possibility that her official
declaration would remain disregarded
or be treated as false.

Washington, Sept l3.-When con
gress meets the question of withdraw
ing the appropriation to make an ex
hibit at the Paris Exposition will be
agitated as a protest against the con
viction of Dreyfus, which is generally
regarded as a disgrace to the French
nation Congressman j. NJ. Levy an
nounces that as soon as congress
meets he will introduce resolutions in
the house Withdrawing the support of
this government from the Paris Expo
sitisn Sena.Jr Stewart of Nevada
has advocated the same cause, while
many other public men are in favor of
taking some action which will reflect
the disapproval of the verdict in a
national way.
The withdrawal Of the appropria-
tion would probably he considered an
act Of unfriendliness hy the French
government, and would result in a
suspension Of diplomatic relations. 1t
is not believed that any such extreme
measures will be carried out, the
moral effect of agitation being what
is mostly sought. However, there is
little doubt that the number Of pri-
vate exhibits will be greatly dimin-
ished by Dreyfus' conviction.
