Cuts Down Their PAY.

Washington. Aug. 31.-The discovery
of a shorter route between Manila and
the United States has had a rather de-
pressing effect upon some of the troops,
as it reduces their travel pay. The old
route was $3.50 miles. but of late the
transports have cut off the 700 miles re-
quired by touching at Honolulu. Some
Of the soldiers at Manila had received
travel pay on the basis of the old route,
but part of the first pay has been re-
funded to the paymasters. This APP
piled only to those soldiers at Manila
who re-enlisted and received travel
pay, to which they would have been en-
titled If they had returned to the United
States

every one of them did his task well
enough for Admiral Dewey, who even sug-
gested that if possible they be admitted
to American citizenship. His letter was
referred to the treasury department. The
secretary replied that although he greatly
regretted the fact there was no way in
which the law could be waived. The Chi
namen in the Olympia's crew could not be
admitted to the United States unless they
had been lawfully in this country at the
time of their enlistment.
The law is mandatory upon the officials
of the treasury department and it will be
the duty of Collector of Customs Bidwell
at New York to prevent the Chinese mem
bers of the Olympia's crew from leaving
the ship while she is in New York har-
Dor. Under the law naval vessel is
part of the soil of the country. and tech
nically, if any of them were enlisted in
San Francisco. they have not been out
of the United States while serving on the
Olympia.
1t is not probable, however that any
action would be taken by the treasury
officials should the Cinnamon be allowed
to land on the supposition that they are
legally entitled to reside in the United
States.

ABOUT THE CONFESSION
Continued from Page Onc)

There is matter which Major For
senetti has just recalled. which has
greatly moved me and l wish to recall
for | wish to say to whom owe having
done 1t for 1--WE years after my condem-
nation. L had determined to kill myself
| had made up my mind not to un ierso
the frightful torture of a soldier from
whom they wished to tear the insignia
of honor. Well then, let me say this:
That | went through that torture, 1
can say here, that it was thanks to
Madame Dreyfus, who showed me my
duty, and who told me that if l was in
nocent l ought to do it for the sake of
her and our children. If I am here, it
is for her l owe it, my colonel"
Here Forsenetti said: 1T is quite true.
In his last interview with me Dreyfus
said: For her and for my children /
will undergo the torture of to-mor-
row."
The declaration of Dreyfus that his
life was due to his wife deeply stirred
all his hearers. He spoke in a broken
voice with emphatic gestures, swaying
to and fro with emotion, and when he
had finished he sat down abruptly, evil
IDENTIFY to conceal his discomposed fea-
lures from the gaze of the spectators
in court. Tears We're glistening in his
eyes and he was clearly suppressing an
outburst of sobbing.
The, session concluded with confront
ations of Captain Lebrun- Renault and
General Boisdeffre. the former ex-
planning he did not speak to Forsenetti
of Dreyfus' confession, because he had
received instructions to keep silent.
Boisdeffre denied that Forsenetti had
expressed to him his conviction that
Dreyfus was innocent
The major maintained his assertion,
however. Court then adjourned until

NAVY ESTIMATES LARGE
A Considerable Increase All
Along the Line.
WARSHIPS NOW BUILDING
Fifty Four Vessels of All Classes Are
Now Under Construction-A Rec
ommendation for Three
New Cruisers.

Washington. Aug. 31.-The secretary
of the navy has directed that all esti-
mates for the requirements of the
naval service next year shall be sub
mitted by tomorrow (Sept. u, thus
giving him three months for co-ordin-
ating them for submission to congress.
Accordingly, the several naval bureaus
have been active of late preparing their
final figures. All of the estimates, with
the exception of those relating to armor
and ordnance will be handed in to-
morrow. They show in general consid-
cradle increase all along the line, ow-
ing to the rapid development of the
navy, the unprecedented amount of
naval ship building now in progress
and the enlarged demands growing out
of the war and the acquisition of new
territory.
The largest item is $4,000. 000 under
the head of increase of the navy
which is $4,000, 600 more than any pre-
vious estimate under this head. 1t is
due to the unusual number of war
ships now in course of construction,
aggregating "a in all classes, with to-
tai much in excess of the number under
construction at any previous time in
the history of the navy. These include
IL battleships. four monitors, three ar
mored cruisers, six protected cruisers,
3S destroyers and torpedo boats and
several miscellaneous craft, submarine
boats, etc.
The item of increase of the navy
covers the work already authorized and
now in course of construction, both in
engineering and structural branches,
and is concurred in by Admirals HIGH
born and Melville, chiefs of the con-
of "a anpinpnrinp L.
reaus respectively.
Admiral Melville will also make esti-
mates for new engineering plants,
equipment, tools, buildings, etc, at
Norfolk Port Royal, Port Orchard and
Mare Island. The plants are old and
the repairs on them induce the chief en-
gineer to recommend the most modern
appliances and such remodellng OF
buildings as will bring them up to date
Admiral Endicott, chief Of the bureau
of yards and docks, will recommend
two more large dry docks on the AT
lantic seaboard, one at New YORK anu
the other at Norfolk. The estimate
will be about 81. $50 600 each. Admiral
O'Neirs estimate on armor. ana ORD
nance will be held until his return next
Monday, as he has been giving much
personal attention to this important
item. The price of armor plate VIII
have TO be settled by congress. and
large quantity of armor authorized.
The armor concerns refused to bid on
the 5000, fixed as the limit of cost by
the last congress, so that further lesls-
lation is necessary in order to provide
for the many ships now nearing COM
pletion. .,, 49,
Aside from the bureau estimates, the
secretafy of the navy will prepare such
estimates as he deems eXpedient Tor

Halstead lectured tonight by invita-

club, which is largely impelialstic
Mr.. Halstead's subject was the Philip
pines. After the lecture, according to
the rules of the club, Mr.. Halstead was
piled with questions. One OF the ques-
TONERS, with decidedly sympathetic
notions for Aguinaldo, after his ques-
ton had been answered, added the re-
marks.
II hope Otis will be kept in and will
keep on laundering till he and the whole
army are driven into the sea or cap

Mr.. Halstead said: "A man with
those sentiments is IA traitor to his
country"
Several men jumped up and re-
marked: "Two-thirds of this audience
think that way"
Mr. Halstead replied: Whoever
thinks that way is a traitor"
Then there was rush down the hall
with raised fists toward Mr.. Halstead.
but a great number of men stepped in
between Mr.. Halstead and those who
were rushing at him. Through the
noise and uproar was disclosed the fact
that the audience was composed of men
on both sides of that question. Mr..
Halstead was quietly led out of the
church by a side door and taken home.
No blows were struck, but chofrs and

PENSION REPORT.
Revision of the Present Complicated
Method Is Recommended.

MethOu Is recommended.
Washington, Aug. 31.-The annual
report of Hon. H. Clay Evans, COM
missioner of pensions, shows that dur
ing the year there were added to the
pension roll 1929 names and 431S6
were dropped, 34,345 of these by reason
of death. There was expended for PEN
sions Sl3S 1855, 052 The annual value of
the entire pension roll amounts to $751;
6l1,96l, being S649,49 more than it was,
due to the higher average annual value
of pensions. The roll is made up of
753.451 surviving soldiers. 23T, AS wild
ows and dependent relatives and 61S
nurses. The total number of original
applications filed during the year, in
GLIDING those on account of the war
with Spain, was 4S.765.
The number of original claims al
lowed was 37,077. During the year 107,-
9l9 claims of all classes We're rejected,
a large percentage of these being
claims for increase. The report will
state that the delay in the adjudication
of claims is in nearly every case the
fault of the claimants or their attor-
neys. In order that the present COM
pick system of pensioning may be sim
plified, and to secure a more uniform
practice in the future, the appointment
of a committee on revision of laws,
rules and regulations is recommended.
