AFFLICTED PORTO RIcANs.
Worst of the Interior Situation Not Yet
Known.

Washington, Aug. 16.-Secretary
Root received dispatch from Gen.
Davis, at sa1 Juan. tn 1t the supplies
on hand in Porto Rico are suifi-
cient to prevent starvation un-
til the Mcpherson arrives.
The Davis dispatch says the deaths
outright in the island will reach
1000, while many are dying daily
from injuries and privations. There
is much destitution in the interior,
deaths occurring from lack of food,
but so great is the destruction of
roads and trails that it will be impos-
sible to reach many points before
next week. There is yet no commu-
nication with one-third of the island.
Everything possible is being done to
relieve the distress. Many thousands
of cattle and horses were drowned.

greeIeGJovernor' roggs speech IN New
York on the Fourth of July would
rather indicate that Mr.. Bryan is not
lacking supporters in the Tammany or
ganization. With Tammany support
ing him there will be but very little
opposition in the east to Mr.. Bryan.
"A statement has been made and
purporting to come from Mr.. Croker to
the effect that what he said compli-
mentary of Mr.. Bryan was not intend
ed as an Endorsement of his candidacy
for the presidency, but merely for the
purpose of paying tribute to a de-
serving public man. Still it may be
that Mr.. Croker sincerely thinks that
the party could do no better than to
nominate Mr.. Bryan"

No Change In the State of South African
Affairs.

London, Aug. 16.-The Transvaal
situation is unchanged, according to
all obtainable official information, but
the continued delay of the Boer ans
wer to the British demands makes
matters more serious. The war of
fee has completed preparations for

ready to leave within a week. Fast
steamers for transportation are wait
ing orders.
Pretoria, Aug. 16-The British

Authorities VIII Take No Chance of VAST
ing Amy Lives on Him.
Paris, Aug. 16.-M. Guerin last even
ing displayed an anti-Semitic tri-col
or flag on the roof of the anti-Semite
headquarters. On the flag was a motto
reading: France for Frenchmen." M.
Waldeck-Rousseau has decided not to
expose the life of any man-soldier,
policeman or fireman-but to leave NJ
Guerin a choice between self-imprison-
ment and arrest. Meanwhile it looks
as though this affair would have a rath-
er tame ending. The friends of NJ
Guerin are busying themselves to res
cue him from an impossible and fool
ish position. Stevens, son of the we'll
konwn artist, obtained from the gov
ernment a permit to enter NJ. Guerin's
house and advise him to surrender at
discretion, assuring him that no one
doubted his courage, but that he ought
not to compromise his friends and be
the cause of placing human life at
stake.
Joseph Lasces, an anti-Semite dep
utv, who was furnished with similar
permit, visited NJ. Guerin last evening
and conferred with him for three
quarters OF an hour, making every ef-
fort to persuade >Guerin and his asso-
and dangerous At about half-past 10
M.Lasces went to see NJ. Waldeck-
Rousseau. In the premier's absence he
was received by his chief OF cabinet. In
the course of an interview afterward
NJ. Lasces said: Il believe that the mat
ter will be arranged tomorrow NJ.
Guerin and his friends are over-ex-
cited.
Tomorrow i shall see the premier
and arrange terms by which NJ. Guerin
and his associates shall constitute
themselves prisoners. The premier is
not intractable, and will doubtless
grant their wish to be treated with in
diligence. and NJ. Guerin's request to be

DREYFUS IN TEARS,
Famous Prisoner Moved by Re-

ment.
PATHETIC SCENE AT RENNEs,

| Indignation Aroused by Narrowing Tales
4 of His Physical and Mental sufferings-
Military Judges Refuse to Permit Post
| ponement-As to Laborrs Condition
Today.
| Rennes, Aug. 16-Upon the assem-
bling of court this morning Demange,
Dreyfus' counsel, asked adjournment
on account of Labori's absence. After
short conference the Judges unani-
mously rejected the application on
the ground that the reasons advanced
were insufficient.
This was followed by the deposition
of Guerin, former minister of justice,
which was merely a repetition of his
evidence before the court of cessation.
Lebon, former minister of the colo
nies, testified in justification of his
instructions to treat Dreyfus rigor-
ously, declaring that extreme strin-
gency only dated from the time he
thought an attempt would be made to
rescue the prisoner. The official re-
port of the treatment of Dreyfus was
then read.
Dreyfus Moved to Tears.
As the narrowing tale of his mental
treatment on the island was recount
ed, Dreyfus. for the first time during
his trial, was moved to tears, while
deep drawn breaths of indignation
came from the hearers as the reading
proceeded. The widow of Col. Henry
was the next witness. The evidence
was of little weight. She said her
husband told her he forged one docu-
fa11
vitriolic diatribe against Dreyfus.
Demange announced he would ques-
tion Roget tomorrow, and the court
adjourned until tomorrow.
Labori Is worss.
Rennes, Aug. 16.-Labori is
worse this evening, a slight fever
having returned. X-Ray photographs
are being developed. but the position
of the bullet is not yet discovered.
Dreyfus Writes to His Wounded Counsel.
Dreyfus has written two letters to
NJ. Labori. The first, on hearing the
news of the attempt to murder the
lawyer, is a spontaneous expression of
his shocked feelings. The second is
a touching epistle expressing the pris-
oner's keenest regrets at the dastardly
outrage. profound gratitude to NJ. La
bori for his heroic championship and
heartfelt wishes for his happy recov-
cry. The attempted assassination is
confidently held to have been plotted
by number of people and had for one
important object the robbery of some
important papers Labori had with him
the morning he was shot. The assassin
did not get the papers, although he
took number of letters from Labori's
pockets. But these were of no value to
any one eXcept the owner

HOME THEY BROUGHT HER WARRIOR
DEAD.


Home they brought her warrior dead;
She nor swooned nor uttered cry;
All her maidens, watching, said,
'She must weep or she will die"
Then they praised him, soft and low,
Called him worthy to be loved.
Truest friend and noblest foe,
Yet she neither spoke nor moved.
Stole a maiden from her place,
Lightly to the warrior slept,
Took the face cloth from the face,
Yet she neither moved nor wept.

Set his child upon her knee;
