NEW YORK, March 4.-The Atlantic
transport freight steamer knight Bachelor
arrived today, thirtytwo days from Lon

the west, with very high and dangerous
seas, the storm assuming hurricane proper
tions frequently during the early part of
the passage The fore deck was badly
damaged, the main hatch was stove, and it
was impossible to keep the water out of the
hold. Great iron stanchionS and deck lad
ders were bent and twisted, boats were
smashed and washed away, the bridge rail-
ing was broken and a large portion of it
was swept overheard, ventilators were lost
and the rails in many places bent and
broken. The steamer was unable to make
headway against the gales, and after six.

courts will continue until the victory
rests with the court Of cessation. The
Seicle has opened a subscription to erect
an expiatory monument in front of the
palace of justice in Rennes to remind
future generations Of this outrage on
justice. The Temps, referring to the
rumors that the court martial signed a
recommendation to mercy, but only as
regards from military rank, says the
mere mention of extenuating circum-
stances proves that the judges had
doubts, Of which the accused should
have received the benefit and it urges

difference Of opinion respecting the ex-
act effect of the judgment-wheth he
can be degraded again and whether the
five years. solitary confinement he has
undergone will be regarded as equiva-
lent to the 10 years detention to which
he is sentenced and he will be released
next month.
This matter is quite aside from the
general impression that he will be par
doned in few days by President Lon
bet, who will find some ground to exer-
else clenency.
Difference Of Opinion as to Judgment,
M. Demange thinks the five years
will count for nothing and that Drey-
fus, according to law, will have to suffer
10 years detention. Many others, how
ever, including several lawyers, hold q
contrary opinion and declare that he
will be released in October. This, al
ready cabled, is the belief Of Dreyfus
himself.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press interrogated NJ. Coupers, the clerk
of the court-lnartial, on this point. He

Dreyfus must serve 10 years from the
date Of a fresh degradation, the court
martial having considered the case as
beginning when Dreyfus appeared be-
fore them, disregarding altogether his
previous sentence.
M. Coupers said: 81 have no doubt
whatever that, according to the military
code. Dreyfus must undergo degrade
tion again, as he was reinstated as q
captain in the army and he appeared
before the court in uniform. That he
will actually be put through this crue!

Colonel Jouaust also declared that
Dreyfus must serve 10 years, but speak
ing with friends he expressed convic.
ton that there would not be a fresh degra-
dation. This ceremony requires break
ing the prisoners sword and tearing of
his epaulets. But Dreyfus never had
his sword restored to him, and he only
wore undress uniform without epaulets,
SO that it would be impossible to carry
out the regulations for degradation.
Those who think Dreyfus will be re.
leased in October, because the five years
on DEVILS island will wipe out the pres

RENNEs, Sept. 11.-Dreyfus has borne
the terrible shock of his conviction with
marvellous fortitude, one might almost
say with unnatural calm. Saturday he
seemed stupefied when M. Labori COM

night and rose when his orderly brought
him water at a. M, as he did during
the trial when it was necessary.
Madame Dreyfus and Matthieu Drey-
fus, his brother, visited him during the
course of the afternoon, his brother sub
sequently leaving for Paris. The ap-
plication to the court of revision was
taken to him at noon by NJ. Labori's as
sistant and he signed it.
He has spoken but little, though he
has seemed in better spirits than might
have been anticipated. The meeting

The correspondent of the Associated

Hadamar said Nine. Dreyfus and the

tain Dreyfus is i'll poor health, as every
one knows. He has been extremely
