Canton, O., April 17.-The state concluded
its direct testimony against Mrs. George
this afternoon.
There was a strong intimatlon to-day

the bench announced that the testimony

bic, he said, On the grounds OF ptemedita-
ton. and also because the state has shown
some OF these relations.
This decision practically opens the doors
for all of what has heretofore been re-
garded as doubtful testimony. The defense
IS now permitted TO show an of the rela-
tions existing between saxton and Mrs
George, and this will involve the litigation
IN which Sample G. George, The former

EsrERHAzy WAS WATCHED.
More of what rIcquart Told in the
DreNfus Case.

Paris. April 1.-THE Figaro continuing
its publication Of testimony offered before
the Court OF Cessation in the Dreyfus pro-
ceedlngs, gives another installment Of Col
Picquarts evidence.
From the time when he mentioned his
suspicious regarding Esterhazy TO Gen.
Come. Picquart felt, he testified, q dis
guised hostility on the part of Come to-
wards himself He referred In this con
nection 20 the ignoring Of Come, Billet and
Boisdeffre of his proposals that measures
be employed regarding Esterhazy.
When the Matln printed the bordereau
detective was charged with the duty OF
watching Esterhazy. and Ptcquart noticed
great agitation on the part of the com
mandant who gave the impression of being
cornered when Gen. Boisdeffro invited him
TO so for ride and discussed the affair
with him. The general at that time ex-
hibiled a marked reluctance to accept any
evidence favorable to Dreyfus.
On another occasion Gen. Billot having
told Plcquart the contents of a document
signed "Maximlllan," which he (Billo) re-
garded as proving the guilt OF Dreyfus,
Col. Picquart expressed doubts Of It's gem
ulneness TO Gen. Come. The latter re-
piled: When minister tells me some
thing, ! always believe t."
Plcquart remarked that this was ex-
traordlnary, and that the document must
have been sent by Lieut. Col. Henry TO
Gen. Come directly, without his (Pic-
quarfs) consent. Esterhazy the witness
testified. was never employed by the gem
eral STAN while he PlcquarD was chief
Of the intelligence bureau. Therefore when
Esterhazy spoke of relations with the gem
eral staff he must have alluded to relations
with Lieut.. Col Henry, Gen. De Pellieux
and Col Paty du Clam Col. Picquart de-
clared positively that from Sept /. 1895,
to Nov 16. 1896 he sent to the ministry
no document concerning or namng Drey-
fus.

Efforts to Clear out Brigands-The
Cuban Muster Rolls.


Havana. April 17.-The military admins
tration would like to compliment Gen. Co
mez in some substantial way. His serv-
ices have been and are exceptionally use
full to the Americans. No suitable official
position is visible. even If he would ac-
cept one. neither does 1t appear feasible
to make him present of money.
He can live as long as he pleases at
the Quinta des Mollnos. the ramshackle
old summer palace OF former Spanish cap
tain generals, where rauons for his stan
and forage for the horses are provided
out of the United States army supplies.
The table of Gomez is very plainly spread.
He is understood to have only very slen-
der income from his interests in Santo Do
mingo.
The organization Of the rural police will
be hastened, although the military au-
thorities are incredulous regarding the
alleged incursions of bandits and the re-
ports of the killing of Cuban soldiers and
citizens at Caimto. Nevertheless the
newspapers say that two citizens we're
killed, were buried yesterday, and that a
third is near death as the result Of brig
and violence. An armed party rode into
Santo Domingo, province of Santa Clara
last night and set fire to the Spanish club
house. retiring when the crowd gathered.
The fire was extlnghished.
Isolated farmers in the province of Ha-
vana are moving their effects into the
towns nearest them.
Senor Gullermo Dolz, civil governor of
the province of Plnar del Rio conferred
with the governor general to-day respect
ing the immediate formation of body of
rural police for his district.

SIR Andrew clarke Offers SuEges-
tiOns TO Americans.
London, April 1s.-The Daily Chronicle
publishes this morning an interview with
Lieut.. Gen. Sir Andrew Clarke, agent gem
eral for Victoria and Tasmania, and form
er governor and commander-in-chief Of the
Straits Settlement, regarding the American
policy In the Philippines.
Sir Andrew urges a thorough under
standing on the native character and a
government, 80 far as possible, by native
Instructions. The Americans, in his opln-
ion should first discover Agulnaldo's g
sources of supply. and then turn these into
agencies of trade for the settlement OF the
country. They should show the natives
that this would be a better outlet for cap
ital and thus they would be depriving the
enemy of sinews of war.
After that he continues, they should buy
out the religious orders. with the sane
tion of the Pope, and attach the secular
clergy in some way to the administration,
securing their powerful influence.
Underlying everything" says Sir An
drew, must be the good will OF the ma
tives. Then with careful administrators
the United States would have nothing to
fear from the Fhipinos."
The interview was supplemented by a
report based upon tho experience OF Brit
ish administrators IN the Straits Settle
