Labori Improving,

Rennes, Aug. 10. M Labor, junior
counsel for Dreyfus, who was on Mon
day mysteriously shot at Rennes'
France, is much better.
The doctors are hopeful of speedy
recovery, but consider it would be I'M
wise for Labor to return to court until
there is absolutely no danger OF a re-
lapse. He lies on his back, unable tc
move, but life is returning TO the leg
which yesterday was thought to be par
alyzed. He has no fever and continues
to discuss the trial. His wife has re-
manned at his bedside practically ever
since he W. wounded.
The correspondent Of the Associated
Press has obtained complete corrobora'
ton Of the statement that the pockets
of Labori's coat were ritled by persons
who threw themselves upon him with
pretext Of rendering assistance while
he was lying on the ground wounded.
Not only were the pockets of his coat
emptied, but an attempt, which failed,
was made TO steal the wallet in which
were importspt papers referring to the
court martial including his notes FOL
the cross. examination Of Gen. Meroier.
NJ Labori has himself related the Incl.
dent. He had just fallen and saw one
or two men run to his side. One Of
these said

will be too hot.
The speaker then took the wounded
advocates coat Off, and another mau

retained his presence of mind, and re.
fused to allow the wallet to be taken
out Of his hands. putting it under his
head for a pillow and holding it with

GENERAL WILSON is POPULAR.
He Attends to Business, Makes sDcia

nf

He Attends to Business, Makes Social
Visits and Dances Until tho Early Hours
of tho Morning.
A dispatch from Havana, Cuba,
under date of May sth, says:
Gen. Wilson, military governor of
the new department of Matanzas-S Santa
Clara, has visited within the last 10
days every railway station in Santa
Clara province and seen every alcalde,
judge, priest, teacher, banker and
important planter in the localities he
has visited. He now intends to go on
horseback to many of the communities
of the railway lines.
HIS plan has been to hold receptions
for the purposes of his Investigations
until 10 or II o'clock every night, and
then to dance until II or l. Every
where he has received complimentary
attentions, half dozen balls have
been given in his honor and the people
of the province have evidently been
greatly pleased at his appearance among
them in this way.
AT sevearl points where he received
reports of brigandage he made it a
point to investigate these personally
or through members of his staff. In
every such case he found the reports to
be canards. Today Gen. Wilson came
to Havana and conferred with Cover
nor General Brooke, representing that
there was no necessity for rural police
in his department and that it would
be useless expense to arm 800 men
in each of the provinces merely to
catch few chicken thieves. Gen.
Brooke adopted his conclusions, and
the rural guards in Santa Clara will
be disbanded.
Gen. Wilson deprecates the accept,
ance, without proper Investigation, OF
wildcat stories circulated by. gossips
or designing persons, especially by
those who wish TO get jobs as ruraI
policemen. "

postponed until the next term and there
being no further business for the

The Sad Fate of Party of Goid-seekers in
a,',- =. Alaska.
Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
Seattle, Washington, May 10. 1t now
seems probable that the schooner Loyal
which sailed from Seattle one year ago,
for Kotzebue Sound, Alaska, with II
persons on board, is lost.
Included in those who sailed from
here on the Loyal were: F. F. Adel-
man, leader of the expedition, whose
wife and five children liye in this
city; o, B. Butterfield. fomerly chief
of police of Seattle, and man named
Stevens.
Stevens was a prisoner in the State
Penitentiary at Walla Walla, whore
Adelman and Butterfield were turn
keys. He claimed to know of spot in
Alaska where gold could be found.
Friends secured his pardon, and Or
ganized the expedition. 1t developed
from letters received after the ex-
pedition left here that Stevens had
misrepresented things. Owing to the
trouble he caused, he was put ashore
on an island this side of Kotzebue
Sound, with a supply of provisions and
his personal effects.
