Counsel For the Prisoner Gets After
Witnesses Who Express Belief
Without Facts.

Rennes, Aug. 23.-Gen. Roget brought
with him to the Dreyfus trial this
morning bulky envelope containing
documents received from Esterhazy,
now in London. The day was consumed
in the hearing Of minor witnesses and
nothing whatever Of a sensational char
acter was elected. Comptroller Roy
testified that he had an unfavorable
/ impression of Dreyfus, but gave no
facts to sustain it. Maj. Drevill testi-
fed that Dreyfus could have had access
to documents at certain hours. Drey-
fus replied that he could, but he did not.
A man named DuBrieul testified that
he saw Dreyfus away back in 1884,
when lieutenant, at the house of a
friend talking to man said to be an
Iattache of the German legation. He did
not know the alleged attaches name or
anything more about the matter. La
bori dressed him down beautifully and
Dreyfus denied that he ever had rela-
tions with any German attache.

quarts office in 1896
Capt. Leonard declared Esterhazy's
ignorance barred him from furnishing
the information mentioned in the bor-
dereau. In Esterhazy's absence, his
evidence before the court of cessation
was read. Gems. Gonse and Boisdeffre
replied to Esterhazy's statement, de-
nying the truth of such parts of 1t as
applied to them. Labori questioned
Gonse searchingly and managed to yisi-
bly, disconcert him.
Adjourned for the day.

PREDICTS EARLY PEACE
Gen. Lawton Believes That Hostil-
tiles Will Soon End in the
Philippines.
Thinks Rebels Will See Their Folly
and Give Up the
Struggle.
Greatest Danger Lies in Encourage.
ment Given by the Ants
In America.

Washington, Aug. 23.-.I believe that
the end of the organized opposition to
the authority OF the United States Is
now in sight, and that before this
reaches you peace will be assured"
In private letter received here from
Maj. Gen. Lawton that officer makes
this significant statement. Gen. Law
toms belief that peace is in sight is very
satisfactory to department officials who
have read the letter. He is known to be
an officer of good judgment, and the ut
most confidence is placed in what he
says.
He fails to state in his letter the facts
upon which he bases his conclusions,
but army officers say that in addition
to Gen. Otis negotiations with the Fill
pino leaders he probably referred to the
purpose of this government largely to
increase its force in the Philippines and
vigorously to prosecute the war as soon
as the dry season begins.
AS this government has given the
widest publicity to every move ii has
mae looking to the strengthening of
Gen. Otis forces, Agunaldo has un-
doubtedly been advised of the facts.
and, in view of Gen. Lawton's state
ment. it is believed that the operations
of the dry season will be limited.
1t is understood that Gen. Lawton's S
communication, though private, will be
brought to the attention of the president
and Secretary Root. 1t is understood
here the secretary will return to Wash
ington tonight unless the president
should request him to stay over and
discuss Philippine matters further.
In addition to the Philippines the sec
retary will talk about Cuban matters
with the secretary, especially in regard
to the proclamation to be issued by the
chief executive to the people of Cuba
announcing that census will be taken.
This proclamation is expected to be of
an important character, but will not
contain. 80 far as known, any reference
to the time when independence will be
granted to the island,
It is reported by an official convers-
ant with the facts that there was no
intention on the part of the president,
so far as known by Secretary Root be-
fore his departure. to relieve Gen. Otis
and replace him by either Gen. Miles OF
Gen. Merritt.
