COZ. DU PITY DE CLAM FREE.


Paris, July 31-Le Soir announces
that Colonel Du Patty de Clam was lib
Grated this afternoon. He Immediately
drove to his home and retired to bed
alleging excessive fatigue. He declined
to see anybody. General Brugere, mil
itary governor of Paris, has the power
to override the decision that there is no
case against Colonel Du Patty de Clam,
but it is understood that he will coun-
tersign the ,acqujttal. Nothing is yet
known of the actual grounds of the ac-
quittal, but it is said that Du Patty de
Clam was exonerated because it was
proved that he acted under direct or
ders from Generals Gonse and De Bois
deffre, against whom severe discipline
ry measures are imminent. IF this is
confirmed it will prove that the efforts
of the general staff to make Du Patty
de Clam a scapegoat have failed. Cen
eral Roget and Major Cuignet, who
were the chief witnesses against Cap
tain Dreyfus in the proceedings in the
court of cessation, each maintains that
he has absolute proof of Du Patty de
CLAIMS forgeries and intrigue. If their
statements, which it was believed at the
time were made to shield the general
staff, are discredited nothing will re-
main against Dreyfus.

with regret the complications which
have arisen in the Transvaal republic,
of which her majesty is surzerain from
the refusal to accord to her majesty's
subjects now settled in that region any

That this house has learned with

That this house, representing a peo-

Repairs on the Steel stick and the New

Bristol, r. l., July 31.-The new cup
defender Columbia was towed up from
Newport this morning by her tender, St.
Michaels, to have her new steel mast
blocked, as it had turned slightly at
the heel A few minor repairs were
also made on the new topmast, while
the men were working on the steel
mast. The blocks at the heel of the
mast were removed, and with the as
sistance Of the derrick Archer the big
steel mast was turned back so that
her spreaders were again horizontal
with the boat. A new Oregon inc top
mast and bowsprit arrived from Boston
this morning, but no attempt was made
to change these spars and it is believed
that they will be used only in case of
accident. BY o'clock the mast had
been righted and after few minor
changes the back stays and shrouds
We're set up hard by turn buckles. This
took two hours, but at o'clock the
steamer came alongside and took the

reached DR.. Wyman to-day. 1t is dat
ed yesterday and notes the fact that
the doctor has seen all the cases of sus-
pected disease at the home. He sums
up the history of the contagion as fol-
lows: EARLY in July an old soldier en-
tered the home for a short rest and
soon afterward appeared at the dispen-
sary where he informed the physician in
charge that he was but recently from
Santiago, via transport to a northern
port; thence he started for Manila via
San Francisco beat his way to the home
on freight train and entered with his
baggage. He complained Of dumb chilfs
and fever and was prescribed for. He
mingled freely with the inmates of the
nome and short time ago disappeared
From this as a possible cause, the out
break is as follows: Preceding Friday,
the 21st, there had been noticed nothing
of suspicious nature. The weekly
death rate was as usual. But on the
21st and 22d there became i'll during the
night some eight or ten inmates, men
of usually good health. These seizures,
although noted as peculiar, had occa-
stoned no alarm until about Thursday,
the 9th, when a death occurred, the
man becoming distinctly yellow some
time prior to death. On about the same
date another man died without having
attracted particular attention; he also
turned yellow. Autopsies We're held on
