al Revelations Promised.

RENNEs, Sept. 5.-M. Labori this
afternoon telegraphed personal appeals
to Emperor william and King Humbert
to grant permission to Colonel schwarz-
koppen and Colonel PanIEzardi. Ger
man and italian military attaches at
Paris in 1894, to come to Rennes to tes-
tify in the trial Of Captain Dreyfus.
This is the news of the day, and the
chief topic Of conversation in the cafes
and resorts OF the journalists this eve
ming.
The appeals were couched in eloquent
terms, invoking the assistance of their
majestles in the name Of Justice and
humanity. They are quite supplement-
airy to the formal application that Will
be made by the government commits
sary, Major Carirere.
The demand OF NJ. Laborl that the
court martial should issue a process,
subject to the approval Of the two SOW
ereiEns, came like thunder bolt at
to-day's session. The step is fraught
with momentary consequences, Us 1t
affords Emperor William an opportun-
ity to again assume his favorite role of
arbiter Of the destinies Of the world.
No one will be surprised IL Colonel
schwarzkoppen, In the name Of the
kaiser, makes declaration that will
practically decide the result Of the
trial.
Expected on Thursday.
Both schwarzkoppen and PanIzzardI
must consult their respective sovereigns
before starting, but the counsel for
Dreyfus fully expect them to arrive
here, IL they come at all, in time to
give their testimony on Thursday, In
which case the trial would probably
conclude this week, and the verdict be
delivered on Friday or Saturday This
is the view that obtains this evening.
differing somewhat from the feeling
earlier in the day.
Colonel Jouaust told NJ. Demange at
the close OF the session that II he re-
ceived official notification that colOnels
schwarzkoppen and PanizzardI were
coming to deposa he would be prepared
to adjourn the trial pending their arri-
val. An adjournment Of forty-eight
hours would probably give them time
to get here.
A remarkable circumstance, and one
that is significant of the relations be-
tween the two eminent advocates who
are conducting the defense, is the fact
that NJ. Labori telegraphed the German
emperor and the king Of Italy on his
own lniative, without consulting or ad-
vIslng NJ. Demange.
Would be Sensational.
The appearance of Colonels schwarz-
koppen and Panizzardl would be the
most sensational as we'll as the most
important Incident OF the entire trial.
Their depOstIons would be formal
and emphatic declaration that they
never had any relations with the nc
cused, and they would make such a
statement that the court must order an
acuuittal. Those who are in the conf
dence of the counsel entrusted with
the defense express u firm conviction
that Dreyfus will now be acquitted.
Nevertheless, one Of the most promi-
nent generals, with whom the corres-
pondent Of the Associated Press con-
versed to-day. declared himself quite
pleased with the progress OF the trial
thus far" and confident Of a conclusion
''emlently satisfactory to the prosecu-
tIon." To-morrow's session will open
with closed doors TO hear from Cernu-
schi, the Austrian political refugee, the
name OF the foreign attache he has al
ready mentioned as admitting that he
had received REASONABLE documents
from Dreyfus. The remainder OF his
evidence will be given in public. Ger
nuschl will be subjected to a searching
cross examination.
Prosecutions last Hope.
The prosecution relies upon him as a
last straw. He was interviewed this
evening by several journalists, and as
serted that he has In his possession
documents to prove every word OF his
statement yesterday.
According to rumor going the
rounds, the name OF the foreign agent,
who, as Cernuschl declares. showed him
documents from Dreyfus revealing
French military secrets, is Gerschell.
The latter Is said to be an Austrian
officer, who passed three months In
Paris about the time that Drcyfus was
arrested.
Senator Trarleux, who testified to-day
will probably be confronted by Generals
MeFcler, Gonse, De Boisdofrre and Ro-
get.
After that It Is understood that the
deposition of Col. Du Patty de Clam will
be read, Major TavcrnIere, who exam
ined him, having arrived at Rennes.
This practically completes tho list OF
deposltions, unless, us Is probable, Du
Patty dc CLAIMS testimony leads the de-
fense to summon witnesses to contro-
vert his statements.
Generals Ordered to LOnVc.
II is reported this evening that the
minister OF war. the Marquis de Gnlll-
fet, has sent orders to the generals and
other military witnesses, to leave Rem
mes, and return to their respective
posts within two hours after the conclu-
