NEW YORK. July "A sun cable
from Rennes says. DR. Forrand of the
War Office has arrived here. He will
attend Dreyfus during his trial, which,
it is now said, viii begin on August
10th.
NEW YORK July GA Sun cable
from Paris says: A dispatch from
Rennes says that Nine. Dreyfus has
changed her hour of visiting her hus-
band in order to avoid the crowds
which congregate in front of the prison
Dreyfus health is good. He sleeps well
and has examined all of the papers sent
to him by his advocates. He never
talks to his guards.
RENNES, July 4.-Dreyfus until to-
day believed that Felix Faure was re-
sponsible for his being given a new trial
and said to his lawyers that he always
knew that Felix Faure would aid him.
Major Carrirrere intmates that there
will be no investigation of the Dreyfus
affair and that he will content himself
by making a report.
A facsimile of the Weyler letter has
come to light. The letter, which was a
forgery, was sent to Dreyfus at the lie
du Diable to entrap him. The letter an
nounced the marriage of one of his
friends and certain lines referred to
hidden secret documents, showing the
culpability of Dreyfus. This part of the
letter was written in fading ink and
was at once discovered by the war OH
ce. The generals ordered Dreyfus to be
watched when he received the letter.
The prisoner did not, however, even
preceive the lines that were written
with the fading ink. and tossed the let
ter carelessly away. In spite of this the
government thereafter withheld all let
ters for months.
1t now appears the Prince of Monaco
asked the publication of his letter of in
vitation.
Dreyfus avoids talking of his children
as his emotion is too strong, and the
only response he has regarding all tire
Vaccinations against him is:
do not all honest people approve of
my wishing to rehabilitate the name OF
my children?"
Captain Dreyfus says he suffered tor
lures during his captivity. He told his
wife that in September, 1896, although
he was exceedingly i'll with fever he
was put in chains. He was left for
months without letter from his fam
lily, leading him to believe himself de-
serted, but he resolved to live, If only
through defiance.
All this evening and tonight he read
the summary of his case, given him by
M. Demange. He said today: How
could they do all that against man
wearing the uniform?'
At o'clock Nine. Dreyfus visited her
husband.

COMPETING YACHTS GETTING

Columbia Beats the Defender by Three
Minutes. Fifty-three Seconds-Sham-
rock viii Race the Britannia.

NEW YORK, July 6.-By the race be-
tween the new cup defender, Columbia,
and the old Defender, sailed today over
triangular course of thirty miles, ten
miles to a leg, it has been plainly de-
monstrated that no matter how skill
fully constructed a yacht may be, her
sailing and ability to go to windward
may be killed by imperfectly setting
sails The Columbia won the race by
a margin of 3 minutes SO seconds, I'M
official time. There is no doubt she
would have won by a larger margin If
her sails had fitted as well as the De-
tenders.
In the windward work. while the wind
was strong, the Columbia was unable
to either outfoot or outpoint the Defen-
der, chiefly on account of the bad set
of her club topsail, jib topsail and fore
stay sail. She covered the first leg of
ten miles to windward three minutes
faster than the Defender, but one
minute of that gain was made when
the wind became light and less than
two miles from the turning point On
the second leg the Columbia gained Sc
seconds. 1t was a reach, both yachts
carrying large mot bailoon) jib top
sails. On the last leg, in close-hauled
work i'm a light breeze, she lost five
seconds to the Defender, this probably
by reason of shift of wind which fav-
ored the Defender

floods which have swept down upon the
State within the last forty-eight hours,

In recent years no such widespread
calamity has come upon any Southern
State.
The Governor of Texas has taken

sufferers, and the Secretary of War has
placed the Commissary Department

ment at. the governors command. This
relief, however, is but temporary. The
people have lost their crops with the
