Members of the Patriotic League Arrest
ed In Paris.
PARIS, Aug. 15.-M. Paul Deroulede,
founder Of the League of Patriots and a
member of he chamber Of deputies
for the Angouleme division OF Charente,
was arrested at o'clock a. m. at his
estate at Croissey, near Paris. A num-
Der of members of the Anti-Semite and
Patriotic leagues were also arrested. A
semi-of6cial note issued reads as follows:
GA certain number of arrests made
as the result Of magisterial inquiry
and by virtue of article 80 of the penal
code, regarding a conspiracy organized
for the purpose of accomplishing a
change in tie form of government.
The persons implicated belong to the
groups Of the royalist youth and the
Patriotic and Anti-Semite leagues. At
a trial Of the Neuilly barracks affair,
facts relating to that incident
alone were used as the basis Of the
prosecution, but scare hes we're then
made and documents were seized which
led to the discovery Of an organization
dating back July, 1898, and Of a plot
to seize the government by force. The
documents leave no room for doubt,
either in regard to the existence of the
plot or as to the chief actors therein.
After very close watch, organized proof
was obtained that the same groups
were preparing for a fresh attempt at
an early date, the proof being such as
to enable the disturbances to be averted
by immediate measures. The investi-
cation of the affair is entrusted to M.
Fabre, examining magistrate"
A number of additional arrests of IN
known persons have been made in con.
nection with the conspiracy.

CROKER CHANGES FRONT.
Tammany Leader Would Give
Up the Philippines
HIS FIRST STATEMENT WRONG
Believes the American Voters VIII Turn
Down the Men "Who Are Putting
Bloody Pages Into History"

New YORK, Aug. 15.-The Herald
says: Richard Croker, in an interview,
declares:
II was wrong in the statements I
made before I went away concerning
the Philippine Islands. based my be-
lief that we should not give up foot of
soil our soldiers have won on informa-
ton that was not complete. 4
"Pubicly made the statement that
I did not believe we should give up the
Philippines which had cost us 80 many
lives. am not ashamed to say now az
publicly that I was wrong. No one is
responsible for my change of mind.
While I was in Europe I talked with
some of the best informed men on pub
lie life there or anywhere else. I made
Investigations and found that we had
No Right to Take the Philippines.
We were wrong in the first place to
spend $40, 900, 600 for them. On ques-
ton like this there should be no divid-
ing line between Democrats and Repub-
licans, Humanity, not politics, is in
voled and am convinced that humanity
as represented by the votes of Amer
lean citizens at the next presidential
election will record it's horror and ex-
ecration Of the men and the party who
are, for private gain, putting bloody
pages into history. Believing these
things now I go straight to the public
and frankly say that was wrong.
81 said I believed William j. Bryan
was one of the greatest men America
has produced. I believe that very
thing now. But that does not mean
that L shall work for the nomination Of
Mr.. Bryan or that I think he is the
only man fitted for the nomination."

Americans of General Young's Bsisads
Defeat Filtpinos.
MANILA, Aug. 15.-A reconnaissance
by troops Of General Young's brigade,
with the object Of discovering the
whereabouts Of the enemy near San
Mateo, northeast of the San Juan reser-
voir, about ten miles from Manila, ~
suited in the occupation of San Mateo.
The American loss was s killed and Is
wounded, including lieutenant of the
Twenty-first infantry.
The Americans approached San Ma
teo in three columns. Major Cronin,
with $50 men of the Twenty fifth lnfan-
try, advanced from Novaliches, five
miles west of San Mateo. Captain
Rivers, with 100 men of the Fourth
cavalry, and Captain Parker, formerly
lieutenant colonel of the Twelfth New

infantry and the Fourth cavalry, ap-
preached in two columns from the
south.
Major Cronin experienced many diff
culties arising from the condition of the
country and failed to effect juncture
with Captain Rivers west of San Mateo
as had been planned. Captain Rivers
advanced, took an outpost of the enemy
two miles west of San Mateo. He then
Encountered Strong Resistance
among the hills, the enemy firing from
excellent positions. Having failed to
connect with Major Cronin and seeing
that the town was already occupied by
the Americans, Captain Rivers with
drew, covering his withdrawal by a
heavy volley. He lost sergeant killed.
Captain Parker, on advancing, found
the enemy strongly entrenched on the
far side Of some rice fields, about a
mile wide and covered with deep mud.
Pushing forward rapidly he routed the
Fiipinos after 40 minutes fighting and
then continued the march upon San
Mateo which he entered, after serious
resistance, at 1870 p. m.
= Major Cronin reached the town at
4:30. The Americans still occupy the
place. Our men were exhausted by
the heavy marching.
Twenty-three of the enemy are known
to have been killed.

Sensational Ending OF the second Days
Open Session Of the Courtmartial.
RENSEs, Aug 15.-A stirring scene
closed thesday's session Of the Dreyfus
trial. General Mercier, former minister
Of war, had spoken nearly four hours
in ruthless denunciation Of Dreyfus,
who had listened unmoved until Mer-
cier concluded by saying that if he had
not been convinced Of the guilt Of Drey-
fus, and if the latter's conviction had
not been fortified since 1894, he would
admit he had been mistaken. Dreyfus
jumped to his. feet as though the words
had galvanized him into life and shouted
in a voice which resounded through the
hall like trumpet note:
on have lied, scoundreH"
The audience burst into wild cheer,
whereupon the ushers called for silence.
But, when Mercier replied that he
would admit Dreyfus was innocent If
there was any doubt, the prisoner
shouted again:
.sWhy don't you them 81
At this there was another outburst Of
applause.
M. Cassimir Perier then rose and dra-
matically demanded to be confronted
with General Mercier, in order to deny
some of his statements.
Cursed by the Crowd.
Colonel Jouaust ordered the court to
be adjourned until $3.50 a. m. for the
conformation, and as Mercier turned to
leave the court, the audience rose en-
masse and Kissed and cursed him, those
at the back Of the court standing on
chairs and benches in order to better
hound him down.
The gendarmes placed themselves be-
tween the general and the audience,
who showed strong disposition to NAL
treat the former minister Of war.
General MERCER hurried out of the
court room through side door, amid
fierce denunciations from the audience.
On emerging into the street, the
crowd outside cheered him and cried
"Vive pArmee." - @".*~ :s
"Ah," cried a spectator Of the scene
in court, 'if they had heard the inhu-
man monster speak they. would not
cheer him now"
