Publication of Proceedings Before
the Court of Cessation Causes a
Tremendous Sensation, Owing to
PrOprietors When That Paper
Originally Defended the Prisoner.

PARIS, April S.-The Figaro To-Day con-
tinued its publication of evidence given
before the court of cessation in the Drey-
fus case, and gave the deposition of Maj
Hartman, of the Twenty-second artillery.
who was called as a witness for the de-
Tense. In addition to the facts already
cabled Maj. Hartman deposed that he
knew absolutely the hydraulic brake since
1891, gave full details of its manufacture,
and cited the case of NJ. Boutonnette, an
employ of the archives department, who
was sentenced in 1890 for giving foreign
attache secret documents, including de-
tails of the brake, which were not modi-
fled from 1880 to 1894
The major handed the court the text Of
O lecture delivered at the military school
of st. Cyr in 1892, describing the brake,
and said he did not believe the docu-
ments in the bordereau came from an
officer attached to the war Office, as the
brake had not been tested at the artillery
school in 1894. He further said he had
been connected for eight years with the
technical selection and never knew Drey-
fus to ask to see documents.
The major also testified that a foreign
artillery officer could easily obtain any
information about the cannon of 120-cali-
Der.
Regarding the frontier troops Maj. Hart
man cited articles from the military jour
nails giving full in formation on the sub
ject months before the bordereau.
In answer to question, witness said he
thought the bordereau referred to notes
of conversation heard by some officer
who thought them of sufficient interest
to send. Besides, he added, 1t was easy
to obtain information about the NADIA
gascar expedition.
Robin shell, which he explained had no
resemblance to the German shrapnell
shell found. He pointed out that there
was no secret process In it's manufac-
ture.
Replying to the president of the court of
cessation, the witness said that the Ii
braries of the military clubs of Paris and
Versailles had copies of the lectures de-
livered before the military schools, but
so far as he knew none of them was miss
ing.
The Echo de Paris says it learns that
the court of cessation is about to order
a supplemental investigation of the
points raised by the evidence of Gen
Roget and Examining Magistrate Ber-
tulus, who will be confronted Lieut.
Col. Picquart will also be examined, ac-
cording to the statement made.

man circles here are not inclined to at
tach too much Importance to the Sa-
moan reports just received. Favorable
reference Is made to comments of the
leading American papers, to the effect
that as the provisional government was
constituted by the unanimous vote of the
three consuls, there is at least room for
the argument that it could be dismissed
by nothing less than the unanimous ac-
ton of the consuls. In this view of the
case Germany may claim that Admiral
Kautz acted hastily, or without due au-
thority. 1t is further pointed out that
the so-called agreement" arrived at be
tween the consuls. of which Admiral
Kautz speaks in his proclamation cannot
have been unanimous one, as the con-
trary is proved by the proclamation of
Herr Rose. From the German stand
point, therefore. it appears questionable
If Admiral Kautz was entitled to use the
language from which it might be inferred
that he had the assent Of the German
consul for his proclamation. II offense

Their Stronghold Mt ALI Hazards
Peace Prefer Not Yet Accepted

MANILA, April AT nightfall last
night Gems. Lawton and King launched
an expedition of three gunboats with
1,5JG picked men, in canoes, in tow of
the gunboats. The object Of the expedi-
ton is to cross the lake, capture Santa
Cruz and sweep the country to the south
The rebels have assembled in strong
force in that vicinity and Gen. Otis final
ly determined that 1t was necessary to
dislcdge them. The expedition is most
hazardous, owing to the fact that the
forces Of the Americans are compelled
to attack by water, as well as by land, .
and that 1t will be difficult to reinforce
the expedition of 1,500 men should it be
found that the enemy is in greater force
than estimated. However, Gen. Otis is
confident that 1900 picked and seasoned
soldiers will be ample to drive the enemy
out of their latest stronghold.
NO SIGNS OF YIELDING.
NEW YORK, April S-(Special)-A
special from Manila says:
There has been no evidence of SUBJ
| mission on the part of the Filipinos since
the posting Of the proclamation proffer-
ing peace to the rebels, accompanied by
amnesty for the offenders. On the con-
trary, it is generally understood that
there is much fighting in sight, and the
latest expedition arranged would indicate
that Aguinaldo is almost as far from re-
alization of the fact that he is whipped
as he was week ago. Santa Cruz is re-
garded as a strategic point of much value
to the Americans, and it is for that rea-
son that an expeditionary force is being
sent to capture the place and sweep the
rebels from the country surrounding
Much depends upon the success of that

Mr.. Snyder's Plan for Getting Liquor
Into Dry Towns.


Into Dry Towns.
DIES MONIES. To-, April S.-The SUI
preme court today knocked out the most
ingenious plan of evading the liquor laws
ever devised, the only one by which liquor
could be sold in towns having no saloon
petitions. M. Snyder president Of the
First National bank, of Grinnell, had
liquors shipped to that town in packages.
Bills Of lading in names Of fictitious per-
sons and sight drafts accompanied ship
ments. Snyder would sell a bill Of lad
ing to any person who would pay the
draft. The buyers could go to the depot
and get the liquid. Snyder was indicted
for making a liquor nuisance, convicted
and fined. On appeal the supreme court
holds he was guilty; that though he did
not own either the liquors or building
which contained them, he nevertheless
maintained the nuisance. This method
Of getting liquors into dry towns has
been employed extensively and was be-
lieved to circumvent the law.

SEATTLE, Wash, April According
to advices brought down from Copper
river, Alaska, by the steamer Excelsior,
the miners in the Yakutat country have
been sorely tried by thieving Indians, this
winter Their supplies were short enough
at best, and when the Indians got away
with parts of caches and even stole the
miners tins and stoves, forbearance ceas-
ed to be virtue.
A, party of Indians on Dry creek, some
distance In the interior, were singled out
by the miners. They armed themselves.
captured the thieves, and recovered part
of the stolen property. Five or six of the
Indians were tied ur and whipped. On
being released they called council of
the tribes, and at last accounts were pre-
pairing for war against the miners. The
latter were gathering together to stand

Sitka asking that Gov. Brady send some
